Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 257 Got A Grip On Miss Harris Evelyn had graced countless film festivals, paraded down numerous red carpets, and even attended myriad galas as a coveted guest.

However, she had never experienced a man who candidly refused to make an appearance with her arm in arm.

To her, it was outright humiliation.

Despite the ire boiling within, she managed an amicable smile.

“Understood, Mr. Jenson.

Don’t worry, I won’t put you in an awkward position with Ms. Harris.

” Cedrick nodded impassively and got out of the car first.

Nico quickly followed suit and went over to the other side to open the door for Evelyn.

The moment the duo made their appearances, they became the center of attention, with camera flashlights bombarding them relentlessly.

Evelyn, well–acquainted with the current situation, flashed a charming yet dignified smile.

As they entered side by side, they maintained an impeccable distance, with not even a swish of their clothes touching each other.

Throughout the social exchanges and courtesies that followed, Evelyn was careful to maintain a respectful distance, which made Cedrick lower his guard a little.

Gwendolyn had already made her entrance before them.

However, she was not a fan of socializing and chose to sit in an unobtrusive corner with Joaquin to savor time.

Joaquin downed one drink after another, his face marred with discontent.

Puzzled, Gwendolyn asked, “What’s wrong? Who’s managed to upset you?” In a petulant huff, Joaquin said, “Cedrick” Perplexed, Gwendolyn queried again, “You haven’t spoken a word to him since arriving at Salinsburgh.

How did he manage to offend you?” “He proposed to you before I could legally do so.

Now, with the business alliance between the Jenson and Harris families, I fear I have lost my chance forever!” Joaquin said in despair.

Amused, Gwendolyn let out a chuckle as she flicked Joaquin’s forehead.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Even if I weren’t engaged to him, I wouldn’t fancy someone younger than me.

” م “You’re lying.

You have previously confessed to liking me!” Joaquin protested.

With a palm on her forehead, Gwendolyn leveled with him.

“Hey, brat.

My fondness for you is akin to a friend and younger brother, not a lover.

Don’t get your hopes up about me, or else I might have to avoid you altogether, ending our friendship.

” “Don’t!” he interjected.

Joaquin downed the red wine in his glass in one go to comfort himself.

“Although I won’t have the fortune to marry you, being your confidant isn’t bad.
