Wooing My Ex-Wife

Even from afar, Charles was smiling at her.

His eyes were only bright when he saw her, and she could not help but notice how blue his eyes were.

It seemed like he had gone for a haircut and a shave after coming out of the interrogation room.

Besides his skin being rougher and him looking wearier, he was still as attractive as before.

Gwendolyn remained still as she quietly watched Charles amble over to her.

“Why are you here?” she asked.

“I came over to visit Jennifer. I never thought you’d be here too. Coincidentally, I bought gifts from the mall after leaving the Federal Bureau of Investigation. May I disturb your routine to have a meal at Harrick Villa tonight?”

Gwendolyn mulled over it and eventually nodded. “Of course. I’m sure Benny and Zendy will be delighted to see their godfather.”

Charles beamed.

He was never stingy with his smiles around Gwendolyn, and he was always earnest around her.

“I heard from Jasmine that Craig beat you for stealing the serum for me. Is it serious? Are you feeling better now?” Gwendolyn posed another question.

The man gave her a nonchalant smile. “I’ve mostly recovered. It’s just a caning; it’s only skin-deep pain.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Gwendolyn stood stiffly. Having a private conversation with Charles felt weird, and she would only feel at ease if Cedrick was by her side.

After that, silence ensued. Neither spoke, and the quiet was a little unnerving.

Charles had his gaze fixed on Gwendolyn, but Gwendolyn could not tell what was on his mind.

When she averted her eyes, she spotted a car with a familiar number entering her line of sight.

As the car rolled to a stop, Cedrick, who had already taken off his military uniform, stepped out of the vehicle and headed straight for Gwendolyn.

“Hubby, I was waiting for you,” she said with a sheepish chuckle, for it seemed like Cedrick was in a bad mood. In a gentle tone, she continued, “It’s going to be lively at home tonight. Why don’t we invite Nico and Summer over for dinner too? They can be witnesses to Charles becoming Benny and Zendy’s godfather.”
