Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 587 Spare The Rod And Spoil The Child 

Gwendolyn said, “Don’t make a big deal out of it. Regardless of what tricks Annie and Paul have up their sleeves, we’re in Chanacan territory now. They won’t be too brazen on foreign soil.”

Cedrick remained unconvinced. He offered, “I’ll ask Nico to stand guard with some men along the coast. They can immediately travel to Summerbank Island and help you if something happens.”

Gwendolyn thought the proposed arrangement was more appropriate and nodded in agreement. She turned around and cupped his face, brushing his lips with a gentle kiss.

“That’s a good plan, Hubby.”

Cedrick used the chance to wrap his arm around her waist. His tone deepened as he asked, “Will you give me a reward for that, Darling?”

“What do you have in mind?”

He replied by poking her waist with his fingers. The implications were clear.

Gwendolyn was immediately disgruntled. They had already spent a passionate night together yesterday after several days apart.

Her muscles were still aching from their intense session last night, and she did not wish to torment herself further.

She jabbed his head with a finger and chided, “Stop playing around. Wasn’t last night enough for you? You’re seldom home, so you should use this time to check on the babies. Spend some time with Benny and Zendy. Don’t forget that Grandpa’s sick too. You’ve got plenty of people to visit.”

Cedrick hid his disappointment. He could not argue against visiting Valentino or his children.

The fridge at Harrick Villa was looking relatively empty after a few days of vacancy.

Gwendolyn found it too troublesome to stock up on fresh ingredients and decided to visit Valentino’s villa for a free meal instead.

Benedict and Zendaya had visibly grown taller in just a few days.

Cedrick lifted his daughter and felt as though she had grown heavier. They were clearly well taken care of in Valentino’s household.

Alas, Zendaya appeared to have forgotten him after a few days. She scrunched her brows in confusion and cried, looking distressed.

Cedrick frowned and struggled to coax her into calming down.

Eventually, Gwendolyn stepped in and lifted Zendaya from his arms. She clucked her tongue at him and teased, “See. Zendaya doesn’t want to acknowledge you as her dad because you hardly visit the children. You better step up; your position as their father is hanging by a thread.”

Stubbornly, Cedrick picked up Benedict from the other cradle as if to prove Gwendolyn wrong.
