Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 616 The Unexpected Truth

Valentino sighed. “Actually, he doesn’t know the entire truth. What he did was piece together different bits of information and he used that to threaten you. Only what I’m saying is the actual truth.”

Cedrick refused to believe a word Valentino said. “Take care, Grandpa. I still need to handle some things in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Then, he turned around to leave.

“Ced,” said Valentino. “They’re blood relatives. I don’t want to witness the persecution of my family members again before passing on. I hope to see the entire family living harmoniously with each other.”

Cedrick stopped in his track but didn’t turn back. He pondered Valentino’s words for a long while before he strode out of his bedroom.

He was still bothered by the revelation of the truth behind what had transpired years ago.

Gwendolyn just happened to descend downstairs and spotted him standing absentmindedly in the corridor. “How is Grandpa doing? Did the medical corps check up on him?”

“He’s doing fine,” replied Cedrick.

Gwendolyn instantly understood what he meant-Valentino was pretending to be ill. However, she was merely Valentino’s granddaughter-in-law, so she could only stay silent about the matter.

Putting his arm around her shoulders, Cedrick asked, “How are the children? Are they asleep?”

Gwendolyn nodded. “They cried for a bit when I went upstairs, but I only needed to comfort them for a while. They’re really well-behaved.”

A sigh of relief escaped Cedrick’s lips. “That’s good. Let’s go, then. I’ll send you back to Harrick Villa.”

Gwendolyn was confused. “You’re sending me home first?”

Cedrick glanced at the watch. Only an hour left until ten. “I need to deal with Uncle Yael and Xander and listen to what he has to say.”
