Wooing My Ex-Wife

She looked down and asked, “Do you find me annoying?”

Megan was taken aback by her question. She patted Gwendolyn’s hand, prompting her not to overthink things. “Of course not! You’ve brought so much joy to my life. It’s just that…” Megan hesitated and thought for a while before continuing, “It’s just that I can’t provide a wealthy heiress like you a comfortable stay in my shabby home with a spartan interior.”

Gwendolyn chuckled and replied, “No worries, Megan. You mentioned that your husband and son who work in the city will only be home once a year. I’d like to keep you company.”

After a brief chit-chat, Megan seemed to be more at ease. “You’re so kind, Gwendolyn.”

With a smile on her face, Gwendolyn continued to probe further. “You’ve been living alone most of your time before you rescued me. Don’t you feel lonely? If you like, you can come with me. I’ll bring you to the city to see your husband and son.”

Megan did not consider her suggestion and shook her head resolutely. “My roots are here. Although my family isn’t around, I must stay and guard the mountain.”

“But there were gunshots heard today. This place is no longer safe,” Gwendolyn stated worriedly.

“Just let me be, Gwendolyn. Even if I die, I want to die here.” Megan shook her head persistently and concluded the topic briefly.

Hearing that, Gwendolyn refrained from asking more questions.

Her expression dimmed as she recalled the gold bars she saw in the muddy ground.

Cedrick was there all along, standing outside of the courtyard.

The house was not soundproof, so he could hear their conversations clearly from the outside.

Is it really okay for a woman to stay alone in such a remote area for so many years? Moreover, she’s an unskilled village woman!

Frowning, Cedrick remained in the courtyard, but he planned to enter the house and check if there were any photos of Megan’s husband and son.

Bang! Shortly after, he heard another gunshot from afar.

Although the sound came from the foot of the mountain, it was loud and clear.
