The Ex and Her Riches

“But, Cedrick, just to be safe, I will review it once more and we can discuss it then.”

“Sure.”

After giving an affirmative response, Cedrick rose and left the ward.

Upon arriving outside Benedict’s hospital room, Gwendolyn was waiting for him at the door.

Upon seeing him, Gwendolyn embraced him. “Promise me you won’t take such risks in the future, okay?”

Cradling her head in his arms, Cedrick gently kissed her forehead and responded, “Okay, my dear wife. How are our two little ones doing?”

In the car, he could hear the sound of Zendaya crying. His leave this time had really scared the two children.

Gwendolyn took his hand and led him into the ward.

The two children were sound asleep. Zendaya held Benedict’s hand tightly, deeply reliant on the warmth of her older brother.

Gwendolyn couldn’t help but say. “I wonder if they also slept like this when they were in my belly.”

She felt incredibly fortunate to have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

A look of happiness appeared on Cedrick’s face, his dark eyes filled with desire. In a teasing voice that was hard to resist, he said, “Gwenny, how about we give them a little brother or sister? Our two babies are growing up, it’s the perfect time for them to have more playmates.”

Gwendolyn gave him a glance. “With the two of them. I’m already very content.”

Cedrick pulled her into his arms, whispering in her ear. “Honey, I’m serious. With our family wealth, we can easily support another ten or eight children.”

Eight or ten of them!

Was she a baby-birthing machine?

As a punishment, Gwendolyn gave his face a hard pinch, pretending to be angry. She then lay down. beside the two children, joining them for a nap.
