Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Indignance +15 Bonus In the bedroom, Cedrick had been waiting for quite some time, yet there was no sign of Gwendolyn coming upstairs with the box of medicine.

“Gwenny?” The lights were on downstairs, but no reply came.

Puzzled, Cedrick got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and proceeded downstairs to investigate.

As he descended the staircase, his gaze fell on Gwendolyn right away.

She was standing before a cupboard, holding a pack of cigarettes and examining it carefully.

One of the drawers on the cupboard was open, revealing its contents–packs and packs of cigarettes.

Cedrick’s heart skipped a beat.

His handsome face turned a shade paler.

Nico had only bought the cigarettes earlier that day and told Cedrick where he had put them away.

However, Cedrick had been preoccupied with an online meeting that afternoon and hadn’t had a chance.

to open the drawer himself.

D*mn it! Gwenny doesn’t usually go through drawers.

I’ve got such rotten luck to be caught in the act by her today.

And why did Nico buy so many packs? His body tensed as a wave of turmoil stirred within him.

Gwendolyn, observing his reaction, held the pack of cigarettes and turned around to take a seat on the couch.

Her face was devoid of any expression as she emanated a frosty aura.

“Care to explain?” she asked.

Cedrick stood frozen at the foot of the staircase.

Without the slightest guilt and hesitation, he denied, “Those aren’t mine.

I never use that brand.

They must be Nico’s.

” A hint of amusement crossed Gwendolyn’s eyes.

She fixed a stare on him, a smirk dancing on her lips.

“So, you’re saying that Nico placed his cigarettes in your villa, in your living room, in the drawer of your cupboard? And why is that? To tempt you to partake and join in the fun?” Cedrick fell silent as his Adam’s apple bobbed nervously.

His eyelashes quivered while his brain churned at lightning speed.

“Penny for your thoughts, Ceddy?” Gwendolyn eyed him intently, a tempest hidden beneath her calm.

Her tone was frigid as she added, “Perhaps you’re thinking of how to concoct a plausible excuse and pull the wool over my eyes?” With a loud smack, she slapped the cigarette pack onto the coffee table furiously.
