Wooing My Ex-Wife

Asher is here?

The atmosphere in the room seemed to grow cold almost instantly.

“Just tell him I’m asleep. Oh, and tell him to not come over anymore because I don’t want to see him,” Gwendolyn replied without even giving it much thought.

“Understood.” Elven nodded and walked off immediately.

Realizing that Gwendolyn was in a bad mood, Cedrick pulled her into his arms and comforted her with hugs and kisses.

He wasn’t even done kissing her when Elven knocked on the door once again.

“I’ve done as you asked, Ms. Harris, but Mr. Asher still refuses to leave. He is still standing out there in the rain as we speak. I bet he’ll stand there all night if you don’t go and see him,” he said with a helpless sigh.

Cedrick glanced at the heavy rain outside the window and asked, “Do you want to go see him? This rain is freezing cold. He will surely come down with a cold tomorrow if he stays out there all night.”

Gwendolyn remained silent for quite a long time before replying, “If he thinks he will get me to take pity on him and give in, then he’s wrong. If he wants to stay out there in the rain all night, so be it. This is his choice, so I don’t want anyone bringing him an umbrella. He’ll leave once he can’t take it anymore.”

“Understood, Ms. Harris.”

Elven never disturbed them anymore that night.

Cedrick let out a helpless sigh when he saw the solemn look on Gwendolyn’s face and thought about Asher standing outside in the freezing rain. He tried to hug her to sleep, but she brushed his arm off with a cold look on her face.

What? Is she going to take her anger out on me? I didn’t do anything wrong, though!

“Gwenny, are you mad at me again?”

“Asher knew about the things Evelyn did to me, and yet, he did nothing and helped keep them a secret from me. There’s no way I’d forgive him for that. You know how I feel about him, so why would you try to take his side?” Gwendolyn replied coldly without even looking at him.

poked at her shoulder as he explained, “It is precisely because I know how you feel that I know you are simply angry at him for betraying you. However, nothing will change the fact that he has been your brother for over twenty years. I know you feel bad about distancing yourself from him too, and I don’t want to see
