Chapter 320 The Investigation Begins Cedrick’s gaze darkened.

The blue serum that Charles gave….

+25 Bonus Alas, his thoughts were interrupted when a bleary–eyed Gwendolyn gently tugged at the hem of his shirt.

“What’s on your mind, Ceddy?” “Oh, it’s nothing,” the man calmly replied as he turned around and held her hand.

“I was just thinking about something delicious to cook for you.

” “I taught you well in Fairlake, so I’m confident in your culinary skills.

I’ll enjoy eating whatever you cook for me,” Gwendolyn mumbled as she curled her lips into a half smile.

“That reminds me… The employment contract we signed back then has yet to expire.

” Cedrick instantly stiffened.

D*mn… Why did she have to bring up my dark past? I was forced to sign that contract, for goodness‘ sake.

The next second, he lifted the blanket and pinned Gwendolyn down.

“Why? How long more do you want to enslave me, Gwenny?” The latter slowly opened her eyes and chuckled.

“I won’t.

The name on that contract was Maverick Wright.

It has nothing to do with you.

I’ll wake you once the food’s ready,” Cedrick said contentedly before kissing Gwendolyn’s forehead and leaving for the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Just like that, two days went by peacefully.

On the third day, however, everything changed.

Gwendolyn was working in her office in the afternoon when she received yet another unknown call, this time from overseas.

Upon realizing it was Charles‘ number, she frowned and picked up the phone, albeit with great reluctance.

Argh! There goes my good mood! “What is it?” she snapped.

Charles merely chuckled on the other end.

“It’s been several days since we last met, Gwen.

Do you miss me?” “I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else.

” “Please don’t.

I was only asking.
