Wooing My Ex-Wife

Gwendolyn arched a brow. Her tone was playful as she asked, “Can you really assuage my anger?”

Cedrick rubbed her soft cheeks and righteously declared, “I can be quite effective. In fact, I’m probably more effective than most expensive medicine. If you don’t believe me, you can check it out yourself.”

He leaned over and planted a kiss on her red lips.

As they continued to kiss, they made their way up the stairs.

When Zoey came downstairs and accidentally witnessed the romantic scene before her, she quickly turned around and left.

Nope, I didn’t see anything at all! I should give them their privacy.

The embarrassing sounds were muffled as the door to the bedroom was shut.

When night fell, Gwendolyn finally received a phone call from Treyton.

Although she answered the call, she refused to speak first.

After a few seconds of heavy silence, Treyton finally said, “Kiddo, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

As Treyton had not had anything to eat for the entire day, his voice sounded somewhat feeble.

Gwendolyn’s tone was light as she asked, “Have you thought it through?”

Treyton sounded sincere as he replied, “Yeah. I was too rash. Since the engagement was announced in public, I’m afraid it’s a foregone conclusion. Even if we gave away twenty percent of the company’s shares, Craig wouldn’t relent.”

Gwendolyn sighed in relief. “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. So, since you’ve been thinking about it for a day and night, do you have any suggestions?”

“We should try to meet up with Jennifer first and discover the reason she agreed to the engagement in public. If she’s truly changed her mind, I will not interfere. However, if Craig had done something to her, I will do everything in my power to take her away.”

Gwendolyn sighed again. He’s got the first part right, but the rest of his thoughts are still too rash.

“Jennifer is now the daughter of the Newton family. Are you planning to elope with her? Craig will definitely send the police after you.”
