Wooing My Ex-Wife

Gwendolyn waved a hand in front of Cedrick’s eyes while smiling.

“What are you thinking about, Ceddy? Are you too nervous because it’ll be your first time being a dad, and you’ve no experience?” Pulling himself out of his daze, he rolled with it and went along with what she said, replying, “Yeah.

I’m ecstatic.

” After gently tucking her hair behind her ears, he bent down to help her put on her shoes, picked her up in his arms, and started walking out.

“Let’s go home.

” The nurses craned their heads to look at Cedrick and Gwendolyn while they were on their way out.

The envious expressions that crossed their faces when they saw the couple being all lovey-dovey caused Gwendolyn to burrow her face into the crook of the man’s neck in embarrassment.

“Don’t always spoil me like this, Ceddy.

It’s not like I can’t walk on my own.

” His lips curved into a slight smile, and his tone was calm as he replied, “Even the doctor mentioned that we should be extra careful because it’s twins, and your morning sickness symptoms might become more intense as time passes.

You’ve got to go through so much, so I must do something for you.

” That reply warmed the cockles of her heart.

She let Cedrick carry her out of the hospital through the quiet employees’ entrance and all the way to the car.

After returning to Harrick Villa, Gwendolyn stared at the medical report as she sat on the bed, quietly marveling over the miracle of life.

Meanwhile, Cedrick sat cross-legged beside her with a book on his lap, appearing to be engrossed in reading.

However, since he was staring at the book unblinkingly, it also seemed that he was lost in thought.

Resting her head on his thigh, she asked, “Since it’s twins, do you hope they’ll be two boys or two girls? Or do you think they’ll be one boy and one girl?” There was no response.

He was still staring at the page in a daze.

“Ceddy?” She had to wave her hand in front of him again to jolt him back to the present.

“What’s up with you today? Why are you so distracted?” “Gwenny…” He grabbed her petite hands and looked straight into her eyes.

Recalling what Nico had said, he took a deep breath and hesitated a few times before finally pulling the trigger.

“We’ll… still have other children in the future.

Could we… terminate this pregnancy?” “What did you say?” Dumbfounded, it took Gwendolyn a while to register his words.

She pulled her hands out of his grasp.

Her heart felt as though it had plummeted into the pit of her stomach, and an icy sensation spread across her body.

“We’re having twins.
