Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Something Is Off “Are you… Jasmine?” Gwendolyn asked with uncertainty after searching through her memories.

Upon seeing that the woman still remembered her, Jasmine Newton approached Gwendolyn with joy and held the latter’s arm.

“Gwendolyn, you look so beautiful! It’s been so many years since we last met.

Did you miss me? Charles told me you were in Fairlake, so I couldn’t wait any longer and came over to visit you right away.

” Jasmine and Charles were half-siblings.

The former was the seventh child of the family and the youngest daughter, a trait which she shared with Gwendolyn, though the woman was three years older.

Since childhood, Jasmine had always been clingy toward Gwendolyn.

She had an innocent and pure personality, though she sometimes behaved like an arrogant little princess.

Gwendolyn’s lips curled into a smile as she tapped the tip of Jasmine’s nose, teasing the latter, “You’re all grown up, but you’re still as clingy as ever.

” Jasmine swayed their connected arms softly and gently.

“Gwendolyn, you’re teasing me.

I act in such a way because I like you.

I wouldn’t let anyone else touch me like this.

I finally got to go on a long trip this time, so you’d better make sure to have fun with me.

” At that, a thought crossed Gwendolyn’s mind.

Have fun with her? Won’t this kiddo merely add to my troubles? “Gwen, I received an urgent matter from the Central Intelligence Agency this morning, and it’s something I have to attend to.

Jasmine secretly came over.

I’ll be leaving Fairlake first thing tomorrow morning, so I’ll leave her in your care,” Charles added just then.

Gwendolyn could not help but furrow her brows slightly.

Just as she was about to refuse, Jasmine playfully rested her head on Gwendolyn’s arm, putting on a cutesy act.

“Gwendolyn, I haven’t seen your house in Fairlake yet.

Please let me stay with you for half a month.

I promise I won’t cause any trouble.

” How could I let her stay with me for half a month? This little kiddo will drive me crazy.

“Three days at most,” said Gwendolyn in response.

“Fine, three days it is!” Jasmine pouted, deciding she would just rent a small place to stay by herself if she needed to.

Outside, one could hear the vague sound of a bar’s bustling dance floor.

Having gotten herself a temporary place to stay, Jasmine enthusiastically extended an invitation to Gwendolyn.

“Gwendolyn, come with me to the dance floor outside.

I’m usually stuck at home, and my parents are very strict on me.

This is my first time at a bar.

” Going outside? Gwendolyn recalled the man in the suit she had bumped into in the alleyway earlier, and suspicion began welling up in her heart.

She subconsciously glanced at Charles beside her.

The man was pouring himself a drink without a word.
