Wooing My Ex-Wife

As his wife held him, Cedrick felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Suppressing the urge to cough, he spoke softly. “You’re right to scold me, Darling. I should’ve been more considerate tonight. If it will appease your anger, I don’t mind accepting some domestic punishment.”

“I can’t believe you’re still in the mood for jokes right now.” Irritated, Gwendolyn playfully punched him.

At that moment, Cedrick frowned, unable to resist drawing in a sharp breath.

Noticing his unusual reaction, Gwendolyn quickly expressed concern. “What’s wrong? Did I hurt you? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Nico! Hurry, get the doctor to come over and check on

Cedrick took her hand, smiling faintly, and leaned his face closer. “I’m fine. All I need is a kiss from my wife.”

Nico turned around and called out Cedrick’s name, but Cedrick immediately made a quiet gesture. My wife has been tired all night. She needs to rest well.

Seeing the concern in Cedrick’s eyes, Nico merely shrugged.

Sensing the warmth between the couple, Nico tactfully raised the partition between the front and back seats. He turned on the air conditioning, adjusting the temperature inside the car to a comfortable level.

They had the situation under control there, but over at the lab, all hell broke loose.
