Chapter 303
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 303 Serum +15 Bonus Gwendolynâs eyes darted around, and she couldnât stop blinking.
âMaybe someone called by mistake.
Ignore it.
Letâs take the medicine first.
â âBy mistake?â Cedrick perceptively noticed the panic in her gaze.
Doubts rose in his heart.
The phone kept ringing as if it wouldnât stop until someone picked up the call.
Cedrickâs face darkened as he stood up to grab her phone.
âIâll answer it for you.
â âNo, itâs okay!â Gwendolyn grabbed his hand tightly.
Her action aroused Cedrickâs suspicion.
Why is she so flustered? ** Gwendolyn realized she had overreacted.
She hurriedly pulled him to sit down.
âI remember now.
It must be the business partner from earlier calling.
I forgot to save his number.
â Cedrickâs doubts didnât diminish the slightest.
âItâs half past nine at night.
Who would call to talk about business at this hour?â âHow would I know? Iâll answer it and ask.
â Gwendolyn put down the glass of water and calmed her beating heart before answering the call and lowering the volume to the minimum.
âHello.
How can I help you?â On the other end of the phone, Charles was taken aback, but he immediately understood the situation.
âGwen, is Cedrick with you now? Oh my, did I call at the wrong time and interrupt your coupleâs quality time?â â After taking a deep breath, Gwendolyn looked at Cedrick, who was staring at her.
She stood up, walked to the balcony, and muttered coldly, âJust get straight to the point.
â Charles chuckled playfully and said.
âSure.
Letâs talk business.
Come to the abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs of Salinsburgh before eleven tonight.
You can bring bodyguards with you, but remember this; only you can enter Room 302 on the fifth floor!â
Gwendolyn didnât answer immediately.
She turned around and glanced at the bedroom.
Cedrick was sitting perfectly still beside the bed with his back facing her, seemingly lost in O 1/4 Chapter 303 Serum thoughts and not paying attention to her phone call.
Covering the phone, she uttered in a low voice, âI canât go right now.
Weâll talk again tomorrow.
â +15 Bonus the âTomorrow?â Charles was disgruntled.
âDo you know how much I went through to get medicine? There wonât be another chance like this after tonight.
I canât give it to you again even if you put me in a highâsecurity prison!â She could tell he was not lying on purpose from his tone.
After pondering for a while, she said, âOkay.
I know what to do.
â She hung up and strode over to Cedrick hesitantly.
âCeddy, Iâve got something urgent to do and must go out for a while.
I will probably come home late.
Rest early, and donât wait for me.
â Cedrickâs expression was as cold as ice as he grabbed her arm.
âItâs cold outside.
Besides, itâs dangerous for a young woman to go out late at night.
Why donât I go with you?â âHave you forgotten that I know jiuâjitsu? Itâs not easy for anyone to get close to me.
Besides, itâs more dangerous for you to go out at night.
Donât worry.
I will be back soon.
â Cupping his face, she leaned over to place a peck on his forehead.
âPromise me youâll take your medicine and sleep early.
â âAll right.
â His expression remained solemn.
After Gwendolyn rewarded him with another kiss, she turned around, took the jacket from the coat rack, put it on, and quickly left.
Cedrick stood on the balcony and watched.
After her silhouette disappeared from the courtyard walls, he turned around, walked to the bed, sat down, and tilted his head to look at the box of medicine containing ten pills on the bedside table.
What is so important that she has to leave in a rush before helping me take my medicine? Besides, sheâs been acting weird today, like sheâs lying.
I think I heard a manâs voice on the phone earlier.
His suspicion drove him to call Nico.
âFind out what Gwendolyn has been doing latelyâwhere she went during the day, what did ||| O 2/4 Chapter 303 Serum +15 Bonus she do, andâ¦â He went silent briefly before continuing, âI bet she is driving the Maserati MC77 from the garage tonight.
The plate number is A04551.
Check the surveillance footage, find out where the car is going, and have someone follow her.
â On the other end of the line, Nico was stunned and didnât say anything for a long time.
âNico?â âBoss, did I hear you wrong? You want to investigate Ms. Gwendolyn?â Countless questions rose in Nicoâs heart.
âBoss, are you sure you want to do this? If Ms. Gwendolyn finds out, will she think you donât trust her and get mad?â Cedrick fell into silence.
Nico added, âYou know how smart Ms. Gwendolyn is.
Itâs impossible to keep your investigation on her a secret.
I bet this will cause a rift in your relationship.
Boss, are you sure you want to do it?â Cedrick hesitated.
Iâm not sure⦠Gwendolyn said before that she hoped I could trust her forever no matter what and have faith in her feelings for me.
I should trust her! Although he had such thoughts, Gwendolynâs every flustered gesture tonight kept replaying in his mind, indicating she was lying, keeping secrets, and hiding something from him.
âBoss?â After being in a dilemma for a few minutes, Cedrick sighed and said, âForget it.
You donât have to investigate.
I trust her.
â He hung up the call.
His gaze shifted back to the pile of pills.
After taking them obediently, he went to wash up in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, a Maserati MC77 pulled up steadily at an abandoned factory entrance in the eastern suburbs late at night.
Elven helped Gwendolyn open the car door.
Clutching her jacket, Gwendolyn turned around and ordered, âIâm going in alone.
You guys guard the door.
If something goes wrong, listen closely to the sound of my movements.
â âUnderstood.
â Without wasting more time, she hurriedly entered the factory and went to Room 802 on the fifth floor.
||| 3/4 Chapter 303 Serum +15 Bonus Just when she was about to knock on the door, her gaze shifted to the corridor, and she was met with a suspiciousâlooking black figure approaching her.
She hurriedly took out her gun and quickly pointed the frigid muzzle at the figure.
Facing a threat, the figure stopped in his tracks immediately and took off his black cap, mask, and sunglasses, revealing Charlesâ beautiful sapphireâlike blue eyes.
âGwen, itâs me.
â Gwendolyn didnât put her gun away.
She cut to the chase and asked, âWhere is the serum?â Charles was slightly displeased.
âGwen, do you really have nothing else to say except this? Why canât be thoughtful and ask if I was in danger today or if I get hurt?â you She didnât want to know any of that and would have stabbed him if it wasnât for him bringing her the serum.
âEnough nonsense.
Give it to me!â âAll right, all right, Iâll give it to you.
Youâre indeed cruel to me, Gwen.
â As he grumbled while smirking, he straightened his back, pulled the black zipper on his shirt, took out a blue ice box, and handed it to her.
Gwendolyn took it, opened it, and examined it.
A syringe the size of a thumb containing a blue liquid was inside.
âWhat serum is this?â âGwendolyn, youâre so smart.
Why donât you find out yourself?â Gwendolyn remained silent.
She closed the ice box, turned around, and left.
Charles called out to her, âGwen, when will you agree to my last two conditions?â Narrowing her eyes, she said coldly, âWeâll talk after I verify the serum.
You better make sure this is real, or elseâ¦â Her words were clearly a veiled threat.
Charles, who was not intimidated by her investigation, stared at her back and reminded warily, âGwen, you better think fast.
The serum can only relieve the disease.
Only I know which serum can cure Cedrick!â If you take a long time to consider and cause any problems later on, donât blame me for it!
