The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 796

She suppressed the faint smile at the corners of her mouth and gestured with her eyes toward the Lego pieces on the ground.

“Are you asking me to kneel before you?” Cedrick asked.

“No.”

Cedrick swiftly took off his gray coat and casually threw it behind him. The coat landed perfectly on the coat rack in the corner of the wall.

His pure white shirt fit snugly, outlining his waist perfectly, displaying his impeccable figure.

Without hesitation, he tucked a ruler into Gwendolyn’s hands, bent his knees, and knelt steadily on the Lego pieces.

His eyebrows and eyes narrowed in pain. However, he quickly regained his composure. Gazing up at Gwendolyn with his handsome face, he said, “It is I who should kneel before you.”

Nothing could convey his apology better than kneeling before his wife.

Gwendolyn was taken aback. She hadn’t expected him to suddenly drop to his knees and reached out to pull him up. “Why are you suddenly kneeling? Don’t your knees hurt? Get up.”

Cedrick shook his head. There was a hint of remorse in his eyes. “I’ve made a mistake.”

“What mistake?”
