The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 627 Hubby And Wifey Time

Cedrick’s gaze lowered, and he fell silent when David was brought up.

Gwendolyn didn’t urge him to speak.

Two of them stood by the entrance of the ancestral hall. One looked at the ground, while the other stared straight ahead blatantly.

After contemplating briefly, Cedrick asked casually, “What would you do as the head of the family if this happens within the Harris family?”

Gwendolyn turned around, left the ancestral hall, and answered softly, “But this is a Jenson family affair.”

Cedrick hurriedly caught up to her and reached for her hand. “I know you and Triss are childhood best friends. That’s why I want to know your thoughts.”

“Is my opinion that important?” Gwendolyn couldn’t understand. “This is a Jenson family affair, and you’re the head of the family. I’ll be crossing the line if I ask too much.”

“Your feelings are the most important to me. How can it be considered crossing the line if my wife meddles in the Jenson family affair?”

Cedrick tightened his grip on her hand, feeling the warmth of their intertwined fingers.

He met her gaze and said earnestly, “I know the punishment Uncle David and his family received was too cruel and that you’re unhappy about it because you think they don’t deserve such a grave punishment. The warning Yael received this time was a firm deterrence for them. I’ll call off the security standing guard outside Uncle David’s house and end his punishment if that’s what you want.”“

Gwendolyn was taken aback as she silently listened to him speak.

After deliberating for a while, she reached up and stroked Cedrick’s forehead to check if he was having a fever.

“Are you not feeling well? You’re not someone who makes such a hasty decision.”

She thought it was absurd that he would decide David’s and his family’s punishment based on her feelings and opinion.

It feels like I married a different person.

Cedrick’s head drooped further at her question. His grip clenched tighter around her hand as he pulled her to his front.

With his arms wrapped around her, he buried his face into the curve of her neck, intentionally obscuring the slightly reddish rims of his eyes from feeling upset. He sucked in a deep breath, inhaling her scent to soothe his forlornness.

“Hubby, what’s wrong?” Gwendolyn felt he was acting weird that day.

Cedrick didn’t lift his head and answered with a deep, muffled voice, “I’m not sick. I think… you’re the only person who cares about me in this whole world. Thus, I want to give you the best part and all my love.”

When his life was in danger after contracting $404, Gwendolyn not only didn’t give up on him but even went all the way to Erihal in her pregnant state to acquire his medication and deal with Charles. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Actually, he was afraid then

He feared Gwendolyn would betray him and even give up on him in the future.

He knew he wouldn’t survive if that day ever came.

In that case, he would come up with every way possible to pamper his wife, so much so that she wouldn’t be able to care for herself once she left him. That way, he could tie her to his side forever.

He was adamant in doing that, and his arms circling her waist tightened. He wanted to hold her close until she was a part of him.

Gwendolyn’s breath began to shorten under his firm grip. However, she didn’t stop him. Instead, she gently patted the back of his head to console him.

Cedrick’s words were shocking to her ears.

She could sense the pain he felt when Valentino condoned Yael’s actions. Even though he didn’t voice it, she knew his love and care for his family was sensitive.

The more Gwendolyn thought about it, the more her heart ached for him. She lightly leaned into his ear and promised, “I’ll give you all my love. She suddenly recalled something in the end and added, “To our babies as well, Benny and Zendy.”

Cedrick’s arms stiffened. It was apparent he was stunned by her promise.

“Exclude Benny and Zendy. I want to monopolize all your love.”

Although he was aware that his thought of monopolizing his wife’s love was childish and selfish, he

couldn’t control it

The corner of Gwendolyn’s mouth twitched.

She caressed his hand on her back before raising her hand and smacking his butt. A loud slap echoed.

It felt nice to slap his butt, given the firmness of it.

The sound wasn’t soft at all and even sounded a little intimate.

She faked a grim expression and admonished, “It looks like you need to learn a lesson for treating your own children as rivals.”

Cedrick released her, bent down, and carried her into his arms in a bridal style. The look in his eyes was so hot that it sent tingles down her body.

“We still have a few hours before returning to work. Let’s head over to Harrick Villa, and you can teach me whatever lesson you want. I’m fine with whatever position you want.”

Even though it wasn’t her first time listening to him talk dirty to her, Gwendolyn still couldn’t help but blush at his teasing.

He’s so charming… bad… and hot.

Gwendolyn gently knocked the side of his head with her fingers and scolded, “Think about your image. We’re not at home yet.”

Hubby And Wifey Time

A look of understanding crossed Cedrick’s face as his long legs strode quickly and steadily, betraying his eagerness to get to Harrick Villa as fast as possible to have a wonderful afternoon break with his wife.

Yael’s case finally came to an end. He was sent back to the lockup at Federal Bureau of Investigation to await trial with the judge.

Ever since Xander’s rescue, Cedrick never asked about the former’s welfare and decided to leave him to his own devices.

Cedrick had removed all the men Valentino had planted in the bureau. Even though Cedrick didn’t say it directly, his intentions were clear-reminding Valentino that he was already retired and to stay out of the younger generation’s affairs.

Ever since the ancestral hall grand assembly, Cedrick never visited Valentino again,

He got his plate full with his work and two babies. He needed to hire someone he could trust to care for them so that he could go traveling with Kieran and Inez.

Since Charles had taken good care of the babies the last time Gwendolyn went to Astoria for a work trip. the burden of being a babysitter fell onto his shoulders once again.

Meanwhile, Cedrick handed over all his work at Jenson Group to Nico. As for his work at Federal Bureau of Investigation, he assigned Neville to assist Nico in handling urgent matters.

Their first stop was the capital of Turlen.

In the first-class cabin, Cedrick attentively covered Gwendolyn with a blanket and acted as a pillow without complaint, allowing her to have a good nap.

Sitting across from them were Inez and Kieran staring wide-eyed at the two,

Kieran watched Cedrick and Gwendolyn for a while before discreetly turning his head to the side to peek at Inez. He noticed the envy in her eyes as she stared at Gwendolyn, sleeping soundly in Cedrick’s embrace.

Cedrick noticed the gaze from the couple across from him and coldly arched a brow at Kieran, hinting the latter about something.

Despite so, Kieran’s temperament was still cool as a cucumber.

Cederick’s attempt at communicating with his eyes failed.

Although Kieran didn’t understand Cedrick’s implication, he asked Inez, “Are you sleepy? I can get a blanket for you.

Inez was briefly taken aback by his question but came back to her senses and shook her head.

Since Gwendolyn was asleep, Inez lowered her voice and whispered, “I had a good rest for the past few days, so I don’t feel sleepy at all. Are you tired, Mr. Kieran?”

“I’m not.”

Kieran dropped the conversation after his offer was turned down.

The space fell silent.

Cedrick stared pointedly at Kieran and shook his head.

Oh, no. He is a blockhead who don’t understand anything. It’s pointless for him to read books or articles on love and relationship since he won’t know how to initiate anything.

With a smile, Cedrick teased Kieran, “I think you still have a lot to learn from me during this trip.”

Kieran’s brows furrowed, noting the implication behind his words. “Are you asking me for tuition fee?”

Cedrick didn’t hide his intention. “Something like that.”

Inez was surprised. “Mr. Jenson is the second richest man in Chanaca. You’re only a spot lower than Gwendolyn. I’m surprised you’re asking Mr. Kieran for that meager tuition fee.”

She lowered her voice further and rebuked, “I’ve heard that you love and pamper your wife a lot and that you’re a hen-pecked husband. Can it be… that your wallet is under your wife’s strict control? Are you planning to earn some pin money from Mr. Kieran behind Gwendolyn’s back?”

Gwendolyn was actually napping lightly, so she could catch a few keywords here and there throughout her sluggish haze despite Inez’s soft voice.

She raised her sleepy face and glanced at Cedrick through half-closed eyes. “I’m curious as to why you’re asking for tuition fee from Kieran too. Are you really planning to earn some pin money?”

Cedrick’s cold mask stiffened at her question.
