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.

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.

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

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