Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 306

Chapter 306 I Am Not Afraid Of You Cedrick’s frown deepened when she did not speak.

“Gwenny?” Snapping back to her senses, she explained firmly, “My gut feeling tells me he’s hiding something and that there is more to this than meets the eye.

I sent the from him to the laboratory to be tested, and they said everything like he genuinely found a cure for you.

” “What did he ask in return when he gave you the cure?” “Bail him out.

He wants his freedom back.

” “That’s all?” Cedrick was suspicious. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Cine I received the with it.

It seems “You’re right, but I don’t know his ulterior motive.

Regardless, he has no one to help him out now, so I guess there’s nothing substantial he can do.

” Here, Gwendolyn clenched her fists and changed the topic.

“Anyway, it’s getting late, Ceddy.

Get some rest first.

We’ll think about this tomorrow.

” Despite her trying to digress from the subject, Cedrick was adamant about getting to the bottom of it.

“If he knew S404 was the antidote, I am at his mercy.

He has too big of a bargaining chip to ask for just this.

” “I mean…” Gwendolyn hesitated, forcing a smile to hide her uneasiness.

“How would I know what he’s thinking? He probably has a plan cooked up but didn’t tell me about it.

” She had already decided to keep the other two terms she agreed to from Cedrick, for if the latter found out about it, he would utterly knock back the idea of injecting the cure Charles gave.

Moreover, she needed more time to consider her strategy moving forward regarding dealing with Charles and planned on drawing more helpful information from the man to get hold of the antidote.

When Cedrick was bent on finding out more, she rubbed her tense shoulders and looked at him with tired eyes, saying, “Why don’t we leave this for some other time, Ceddy? I’m so tired.

It’s been a long day.

” “But, Gwenny…” Looking at the persistent man, Gwendolyn held his face and kissed his thin lips, a gesture that happened to be their bedtime ritual.

“Goodnight, Ceddy.

” 1/4 Chapter 306 I Am Not Afraid Of You “All right, then.

Goodnight,” Cedrick replied, finally giving in under her listless gaze.

“You take an early rest too.

I’ll go to the next room when you’re asleep.

” “Okay.

” +15 Bonus While he had snuggled down in his blanket and closed his eyes, Gwendolyn gazed at him until his breathing slowed down before turning off the lights and leaving for the next room.

But little did she know, the supposedly asleep man opened his eyes the moment she shut the door behind her.

From the pair of dark and cold eyes staring into the ceiling, it was apparent that Cedrick had seen through Gwendolyn–she was such a bad liar Cedrick could not help but notice the minute details in her body language.

Judging from her behavior, he was confident that she was hiding something from him, but the more she tried to keep it to herself, the more Cedrick was convinced that Charles had asked for something valuable from her.

But at the same time, he did not want to burden Gwendolyn any further, for it was already too much to put her through all the suffering because of him, so at that moment, he decided to find out the truth himself.

As he pondered the matter, he heard the door clicking from the next room.

Although it was just a faint noise, Cedrick still caught it in the night’s quietness.

Quickly, he got out of bed and closed the windows carefully before pulling out his phone to call Nico, who sounded frustrated when he picked up since he had barely fallen asleep.

“Seriously? This is the third time you have called.

Can’t you tell me in one go what you want me to do? How am I supposed to sleep if you call every few hours?” At the complaint, Cedrick lowered his voice and noted, “It seems like you don’t like your job.

” “No way.

I love it! I was just thinking about staying up the night to play some games while I wait for your orders,” Nico replied.

Cedrick paused for a moment and continued in a softer tone, “Count this as overtime.

Go to the finance department and ask for double your rate for this.

I don’t want you saying I mistreat you.

” Nico suddenly felt a surge of energy shooting through his body.

“Oh, no! I would never say that! You’re the best boss ever, and I love you so much!” O 2/4 Chapter 306 I Am Not Afraid Of You +15 Bonus “Don’t fall for me.

I’ll never love you,” Cedrick dissed, the disgust apparent on his face from his frown.

I belong to Gwenny.

I’m not letting anyone touch even a strand of my hair, not even if it’s a man.

“Um, okay.

Don’t get ahead of yourself, boss.

I’m straight, so I’m not interested in you.

” Fed up with the nonsense, Cedrick cut to the chase.

“I want you to investigate what Charles has been up to since he got out of jail.

I want him apprehended at all costs.

Don’t let Gwenny know about this.

I have some questions for him, so ensure you get him fast.

” “Right away, boss!” Meanwhile, Gwendolyn had fallen into a deep sleep after pulling an all–nighter the day before.

When morning came, Cedrick woke up early and bought some seafood.

A few hours then elapsed with him preparing a meal in the kitchen until he realized Gwendolyn was still not up, so he went to her room and crept into her bed lightly.

Gwendolyn, who had been sleeping soundly, shivered when she felt exposed to the cold air as Cedrick pulled her warm blanket aside.

Sensing someone moving around her, she opened her groggy eyes only to spot a head with neatly–cut black hair sticking out of the blanket.

From how still Cedrick was after getting into the blanket, he must have thought she was still asleep.

Giggling, Gwendolyn felt the urge to play a prank on that man, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

When Cedrick slowly inched toward her to not wake her, she leaned onto him suddenly and hugged him tight, pulling him into her embrace.

Caught by surprise, Cedrick raised his head and peered at her through the gap in the blanket, but Gwendolyn seemed asleep still, so he buried his head in her chest.

The man took a deep breath with his nose against the fair fullness showing faintly under her sleeping gown.

Mm! She smells so good! This is way better than ten cigarettes.

His action rendered Gwendolyn speechless.

Trying to do perverted things to me, huh? Well, I can do that too.

I’m not afraid of you.

With that thought in mind, she lowered her hands from his shoulders, moving past his waist and going all the way down to his muscular bottom, where she squeezed his cheeks with all 3/4 Chapter 306 I Am Not Afraid Of You her strength.

F “Mm! You little snack.

You feel good!” she moaned, trying to suppress her laughter.

Little snack? ww +15 Bonus Cedrick, who was just about to continue discreetly taking in the woman’s scent, suddenly felt alarmed.

She’s never called me that before.

It’s always Ceddy.

Don’t tell me she’s fantasizing about someone else while holding me.

Does this mean she actually minds my disease despite what she said? Cedrick’s stamina was deteriorating because of his condition, so it went without saying that that would affect their sex life.

While Gwendolyn was doing her best not to burst out laughing, the man in her embrace stiffened, and she felt the air tense.

Alerted, Gwendolyn sat up and pulled the blanket away, but Cedrick turned to another side instantly and rolled into a ball with his back against her, holding his head.

Because Gwendolyn could not see his expression, she could only poke his back with her finger.

“Ceddy?” Cedrick took a few deep breaths, his back heaving.

“You… Are you seeing someone else?” he asked.

With his face buried between his arms, his usually deep voice sounded whiny.
