Wooing My Ex-Wife

“Understood. Don’t worry, Cedrick.”

After returning together to the Jenson residence, they parted ways in the back alleys.

Nico made his way back to his own villa. Summer had probably prepared dinner already and was waiting for him to return home.

Cedrick returned to Harrick Villa. He had already made it a habit to prepare a warm meal before Gwendolyn arrived home, so they could enjoy it together.

Gwendolyn was busy managing matters at Harris Group and helping Treyton care for Jennifer.

Knowing the specific poison that Jennifer had succumbed to, the laboratory could tailor the treatment more effectively. However, the healing process would be lengthy since it was a neural condition.

Gwendolyn returned home half an hour later.

Cedrick, who was mindful of the time, had just placed the final dish on the table.

The couple enjoyed dinner together happily.

-Before bedtime, Cedrick went to the bathroom for a shower.

When Gwendolyn noticed his shirt that was carelessly tossed in the corner of the bed, she walked over to place it in the laundry basket for him.

However, as she picked up the shirt, a faint and unfamiliar scent wafted into her nostrils.

It was the smell of cigarette.

She was a non-smoker. For her children’s health, she had explicitly forbidden Cedrick from smoking. Hence, she was very sensitive to the smell of cigarettes.

Did Cedrick smoke behind my back today?

The sound of water in the bathroom eased. Cedrick emerged from the bathroom with a white towel draped around his waist. He raised his muscular arms and gently wiped his hair as he walked out.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was extremely chilly.

Confused, he turned around and found Gwendolyn seated on the edge of the bed. Grasping the shirt that he had just taken off, she sat there in silent fury.

“Darling?” he called out cautiously.

Gwendolyn lifted the shirt with her fingers and demanded, “Care to explain this?”

Cedrick remained puzzled. “Explain what?”

“Still putting up an act, huh? Are you lying to me?”
