Chapter 320 The Investigation Begins Cedrick’s gaze darkened.

The blue serum that Charles gave….

“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.

” 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.

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.
