Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 270 Cedrick Teased “My heart goes out to you, so I’ll stay by your side.

I’ll also learn how to love and protect you.

” Her soothingly lilting voice drifted into Cedrick’s ears and echoed in his mind.

The most dazzling smile bloomed before him.

His heart that ached inexplicably felt as if it were engulfed by warm light which melted all its frost.

Cedrick felt a lump in his throat as he instinctively reached for her soft face.

However, he still wore his leather gloves that had just touched Evelyn.

He discreetly withdrew his hand at the thought while his other palm, which hung on the other side of his thigh, curled into a fist subconsciously.

Charles was right.

Gwendolyn’s fiery personality made her a force to behold with her enemies.

They could never get close to her without being burnt.

Yet when it came to the people she loved, she was as docile as a cat, irresistibly drawing others to her.

She embodied vitality, charisma, and resilience.

He had assumed the virus within him could be suppressed well enough so that they could look forward to a life together.

Little did he expect it to become wishful thinking with how rapidly the virus spread.

He was nothing more than a broken man with half a foot in the grave.

Gwendolyn deserved better than him.

I’m the one holding her back.

“Ceddy?” Gwendolyn murmured when she noticed Cedrick being lost in his thoughts.

Cedrick regained his senses and stretched out his arms slightly, resuming his aloof expression.

“I’m not injured.
