Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 286

Chapter 286 The Shameless Nico Gwendolyn closed her eyes and lovingly kissed Cedrick’s palm.

Her quiet concentration moved Cedrick, who could only stare at her in a daze.

When she finally lifted her lips from his palm, she asked, “Docs it still hurt?” 4343% +15 Bonus Cedrick almost answered in the negative when he remembered the painful price he had paid for giving the same answer last time.

He swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and eked out, “It still hurts…” Approval danced in Gwendolyn’s gaze, and she commented brightly, “Good to see you’ve learned your lesson.

That beating did not go to waste.

” She followed it up with more kisses on his palm before standing up.

After returning the ruler to its rightful place, she grabbed a tube of anti–inflammatory cream from the same drawer.

Then, she carefully applied the ointment to his palm and knees.

From time to time, she blew on the areas to soothe the sting of the ointment.

“Next time, just let me know if you have something on your mind.

If you had told me earlier that you hated how bitter the medicine tasted, we could’ve peacefully discussed another solution together.

None of this would’ve happened then, don’t you agree?” Cedrick nodded and shot her a tender gaze.

His heart was bursting with joy.

With her around, even every argument left a sweet taste in his mouth.

He was still relishing the loveliness of their banter when Gwendolyn’s next words ruined his mood.

She said, “Actually, I planned to let you off the hook tonight.

I only wanted to help you back to the room and apply some ointment to your knees.

Who knew you were so into playing the part of a clueless victim! You practically begged for your punishment today.

” Cedrick’s back stiffened.

He stared at his left palm in disbelief.

Is she telling me that my acting brought this beating upon myself? He had never felt more depressed than he did at that moment.
