Wooing My Ex-Wife

After Gwendolyn roughly sorted out her thoughts, she quickly refocused and immersed herself in her work.

The afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye. Twilight illuminated the sky outside and filtered in through the floor-to-ceiling window, casting its light on her beautiful profile.

Ever since she was diagnosed with mania, she had been visiting Joshua’s place every night for an IV drip for a week.

Her alarm for leaving work half an hour early hadn’t sounded yet, but her phone rang first.

She glanced at the screen and noticed it was a call from Jennifer.

As soon as Gwendolyn answered the call, she asked, “Did you run away from home again?”

Jennifer didn’t respond.

Sensing Jennifer’s silence, Gwendolyn probed further, “Or did you throw another tantrum? Where are you? Do you need to come out for a bit and have a chat?”

Jennifer replied, “No. I’ve been good these past few days. I’m just a little bored studying at home. I just finished memorizing the information and wanted to play a game with you. Are you free?”

Gwendolyn thought. Oh. She wants to play that Honor of Kings game.

She quite liked that game and had grown addicted to it because of Jennifer’s influence. “I was just about to finish up work. A round of that game doesn’t take long. The time should be just right for me to get off work after a few rounds. Let’s go.”

The two opened the voice chat in the game and started to play while conversing.

Initially, Gwendolyn planned to play only two or three rounds, but for some reason, her luck wasn’t good that day as all her teammates were newbies.

After losing three rounds in a row, the two became determined to win a game before logging off.

Eventually, it turned into a cycle of not giving up after a loss and wanting to play again after a win.

While gaming, Gwendolyn had her phone set to esports mode, automatically rejecting all calls and message notifications.

Meanwhile, Cedrick waited anxiously at home. He had dialed Gwendolyn’s number over ten times without getting through.
