The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 792

Meanwhile, Nico and Charles were still nearby. They heard the gunshot clearly and were already heading in the direction where the bullet came from.

As a gentle breeze caressed the field, the wheat stalks swayed and produced a faint rustling sound.

Cedrick put his phone down and turned to look at Gwendolyn.

He felt as though it had been forever since he last gazed at her like this after ten days of separation. Her makeup-free skin appeared delicate and fair, while the slight furrow of her eyebrows betrayed a touch of melancholy.

Cedrick couldn’t resist using the back of his hand to tenderly stroke her cheek. His eyes were brimming with deep affection, and he had to gulp back the impulse to kiss her.

She doesn’t remember me anymore. I bet she’d beat me up if I kiss her.

As their eyes met, Gwendolyn quickly averted her gaze and avoided his touch.

“Mr. Jenson, whether or not we are husband and wife still needs to be verified. Please behave yourself,” she said.

I can’t believe he’s still trying to flirt with me at times like this.

Cedrick smiled, relaxed. “Don’t worry. The wheat field ahead of us acts as a cover. The shooter would probably be fleeing right now instead of shooting blindly.”

Gazing at Gwendolyn’s lips, he gulped and controlled himself.

Instead of leaning over to kiss her, he joked, “I think I heard you showing concern for me just now, Gwenny. Did you remember something?”

Gwendolyn looked away and snorted. “You’re overthinking. It’s just that everything happened so suddenly, and I didn’t expect you to get hurt.”

“Ouch…” Cedrick suddenly grimaced in pain and clutched his injured arm, his body going limp.

Gwendolyn immediately asked, “Where does it hurt? Did the bullet injure your bone? Take off your clothes and let me check.”

Subconsciously, she expressed concern for him, though she had tried so hard to conceal it.
