Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 125 Just An Act Sensing something amiss, he opened the door to take a look.

There was no one in front of the computer on the desk.

Gwendolyn?” Maverick looked alert.

He walked in to investigate and heard heavy breathing from under the desk.

He lifted the tablecloth abruptly and saw Gwendolyn curled up in the small space.

Her face was abnormally flushed.

Crouching down, he lightly touched her neck to find her body was unbearably hot.

This is… The cup 60% +15 Bonus of coffee on the table was half-drunk, and the sugar packet on the tray had been torn open.

He recalled Frida’s unusual behavior when he visited her a few hours ago and instantly realized what was happening.

“Damn it!” He lifted Gwendolyn from under the desk.

His cool body felt comfortable against her.

An indescribable thought flashed through her drug-influenced mind for the first time.

She clung to his neck, driven by the scent of male hormones.

It was as if they were compelling her to sin.

Maverick carried her back to the bedroom, feeling her restless movements against his body.

He loosened his grip, afraid of hurting her.

“Gwendolyn, hang in there a little longer.

Everything will be all right soon.” Upon hearing the familiar voice, she mustered her consciousness and lifted her gaze to take a look.

She swelled in anger when she realized it was Maverick.

Suppressing the burning feeling in her chest, she raised her hand and slapped him across his face.

The slap wasn’t particularly hard as she was drugged, but it was enough to catch Maverick, who was about to head to the bathroom, off guard.

Gwendolyn struggled, slipping from his grasp, but her hand still grasped his shirt tightly.

The two suddenly lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Seeing that Gwendolyn was about to hit her head on the corner of the bed, Maverick wrapped his arms around her neck without a second thought and pulled her into his embrace, using his body to cushion the fall.
