Wooing My Ex-Wife

Without thinking, she rushed to hold Cedrick’s hand to stop him from taking the ring.

“It has a different meaning to me. Besides, it’s small. What if it really goes missing? Give it back to me.”

It had always been a gift she valued the most.

The time when she was being set up by Evelyn and distrusted by the entire Harris family was the lowest point in her life.

During those days, it was Cedrick who supported her.

The valuable engagement ring gave her the faith to persist in finding out the truth.

Looking back at it, she still thought that the ring was like the only hope during those dark days.

She took the ring decisively and put it back in the jewelry box.

Seeing that she cared so much about the ruby diamond ring, Cedrick was gratified and rubbed his face against her. “Actually, I can still buy you another one if it’s really missing.”

“Even if you buy twenty more, they can’t replace this ring. It’s different to me.”

The moment she finished speaking, she keenly detected another meaning in Cedrick’s words.

Therefore, she narrowed her eyes and shot him a glare. “Since you have handed over all your assets, where did you get the money to buy such an expensive ring? Did you have money stashed away somewhere I don’t know?”

Cedrick was stumped. Sh*t. I forgot about this.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Gwendolyn pinched his earlobe. “Tell me honestly, is there something else you are hiding from me?”

Aggrieved, Cedrick knew that the best way was to apologize first.

“Darling. I’m sorry. I’m content with having you and the kids. Why would I hide money from you? Besides, you have never restricted my spending. If I have secret savings, wouldn’t it give you a reason to straighten me out? How could I be that stupid?”
