Chapter 314
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 314 His Queen Nico panicked upon hearing Gwendolynâs voice.
âBoss, itâs Ms. Gwendolyn.
â +25 Bonus âBlock the door and donât let her in!â ordered Cedrick as he wiped the scarlet marks on his body away with wet tissue paper from the table.
He scrubbed his skin violently, wishing he could peel it off.
Again, Gwendolyn shouted outside of the room.
âOpen up, Ceddy!â Nico pressed his back on the door with a troubled look.
âI canât hold it much longer, Boss!â âYou have to, even if you canât!â Dread flooded Cedrickâs heart.
âGodd*mn it! Why canât I wipe this away?â If Gwenny sees me like this, what will she think of me? Will she believe my innocence when the evidence is stamped all over my body? I really doubt it.
Gwenny wonât want me anymore now that Iâm soiled! He was becoming increasingly frantic as his eyes reddened.
My condolences, Boss, thought Nico as he watched Cedrick teetering on the verge of breaking down from anger.
âI canât hold it any longer, Boss!â He stumbled forward as someone kicked the door open.
In that instant, Cedrick blanked out for a second before turning his anxious gaze to the restroom in the private room.
Like a whirlwind, he leaped from the couch and scampered to his destination before locking the door.
He moved so fast that Gwendolyn only saw an afterimage when she stepped in.
Even though she was amused, she pretended as if she didnât see anything.
âWhereâs Ceddy?â Nico scratched his head, acting dumb.
âEh? He was just here a moment ago.
I think my eyes were playing tricks on me and maybe he had already left.
â âOh? Why didnât I see him on my way here?â questioned Gwendolyn at a higher pitch.
âMaybe he went to the restroom, which is in the opposite direction.
â âIsnât there a restroom in the private room?â At that moment, Cedrick, who was hiding in that restroom, held his breath.
He pressed his back against the door while silently scrubbing the kiss marks on his body away.
Even though he rubbed his skin until it turned red, he only erased the kiss marks slightly, D*mmit! What brand is this stupid lipstick? I canât remove it! Tomorrow, Iâm going to bankrupt this- Without warning, he heard the handle turning, followed by a knocking on the door.
âItâs locked.
Are you inside, Ceddy?â inquired Gwendolyn.
Cedrick remained silent and ceased his movements, fearing he would be discovered.
As Gwendolyn pressed her hand on the thin glass door, she felt his heavy breathing, which was so intense 1/4 Chapter 314 His Queen that it caused the door to tremble.
Is he that jittery? She silently snorted and composed herself before speaking.
âDid Ceddy drink a lot tonight, Nico? Is it possible he passed out in the restroom?â âThatâsâ¦â Nico was unsure how to reply.
+25 Bonus With a grave expression, Gwendolyn stated, âSome time ago, I saw the news on the internet about a drunk man pressing his head into the toilet bowl to drink water! Ceddyâs head is pretty big.
He didnât get it stuck in the toilet bowl and drowned in the, water, did he?â Nico almost couldnât resist snickering.
Hence, he had to cover his mouth to prevent the laughter from slipping out of his mouth.
Ms. Gwendolyn has such a vicious tongue! Thereâs no way Boss would do such a thing, but itâs certainly an amusing scene to imagine.
In response, he gave Gwendolyn a thumbs up.
She shot him a look that meant, âItâs nothing special.
â Then she continued to speak anxiously.
âCall a staff member here to unlock the door.
Ceddyâs life may be in danger if weâre late for even a minute!â Before Nico could answer, the person inside the restroom coughed.
Cedrick composed himself, pressed his Adamâs apple, and replied in the frigid tone he used two days ago.
âIâm fine.
Iâm not drunk, but Iâll return a little later.
No need to wait for me.
â âI came here to drive you back to Harrick Villa, so why arenât you willing to meet me? Are you this ungrateful?â questioned Gwendolyn.
The response she received was a long silence, as though he admitted she was right.
She smiled indifferently.
âFine.
Iâll leave.
â Upon hearing that, Cedrick released a sigh of relief.
Minutes later, he heard the sound of the private roomâs door closing.
Another period of quietness ensued outside the restroom before he asked in a small voice, âIs Gwenny gone?â âYes,â answered Nico assuredly.
Despite that, Cedrick opened the door slowly.
He lowered his guard completely when he saw only Nico outside the restroom.
Just as he stepped out, a figure hiding in the corner pinned him to the wall Gwendolyn clutched his chin and swept her gaze past the kiss marks on his neck, teasing, âNo wonder you donât want to meet me.
Look at how many kiss marks are on your body! Wow, they look so pretty too.
I bet the meetingâ must be lovely, Cedrick.
â Gwenny, Iâ¦â Cedrick went pale and couldnât squeeze a word out.
Initially, Gwendolyn planned to tear his shirt away and mocked him further.
However, she didnât as she was afraid she would push him too far.
= ||| 2/4 +25 Bonus Thus, she left the room without saying a word.
Just as Cedrick was about to chase after her, Nico stopped him.
âDonât worry, Boss! Iâll help you talk to Ms. Gwendolyn!â Without delay, Nico bolted out of the room and caught up to Gwendolyn.
They nearly couldnât hold back their giggles earlier.
Therefore, when they arrived at an empty emergency exit, they guffawed.
Their laughter echoed in the emergency exit.
Nico laughed so intensely that he pressed his abdomen, which was on the verge of cramping.
That was the first time I pranked Cedrick, and it was so much fun! However, as entertaining as that was, Iâm still a little worried about him.
âHow are you planning to resolve the issue, Ms. Gwendolyn? Mr. Jensonâs a stubborn man.
If you donât handle this well, heâll become so furious that heâll lose his rationality and do something extreme.
â Gwendolyn knew she shouldnât take things too far, but she still wanted to punish Cedrick after recalling the trouble she took browsing the internet trying to jazz up their love life earlier.
Since Iâm not planning to let anyone use those things on me, I think theyâre suitable for teaching Cedrick a lesson! Iâm going to be his queen! Thereâs no way Iâll be the first to relent! The edges of her red lips curved upward mischievously as she gestured for Nico to come closer.
âWhen you return, tell him thisâ¦â After listening to her plan, Nico took a few deep breaths.
He raised his thumbs at her with respect.
âYouâre indeed an expert, Ms. Gwendolyn!â When Nico returned to the room, he saw Cedrick slumping on the couch with a dejected look.
Even though the latterâs countenance was pale as ash, he was still handsome.
Cedrick turned his lifeless eyes to Nico.
âI doubt sheâll forgive me, which is fair.
I canât forgive myself for having my body tainted, too.
â âYouâre not tainted.
â Expeditiously, Nico sat by Cedrickâs side.
He removed a bag of makeup remover wipes from his pocket and scrubbed the kiss marks on the latterâs body.
âMs. Gwendolyn handed this to me.
Youâll be clean again once these marks are removed.
â Cedrick remained unmoved.
A dead look dominated his eyes.
Softening his tone, Nico continued, âI did everything I could to explain the situation to Ms. Gwendolyn.
Thanks to my efforts, she believes you didnât betray her and were set up.
â That elicited a response from Cedrick.
âReally?â âOf course! Although, sheâs still furious because you didnât tell her you had a meeting.
She also said itâs your fault for getting taken advantage of by staying with another woman alone in a room after getting yourself drunk,â Pursing his lips, Cedrick silently reevaluated Gwendolynâs criticism.
The sight of Cedrick reflecting on his mistake amused Nico.
The latter continued earnestly, âWhat did I tell you? If you had relented, this wouldnât have happened.
In the end, she has an even better reason to give you a cold shoulder.
You shouldnât have let a womanâs anger simmer overnight!â ||| O 3/4 **** Chapter 314 His Queen âDo you have any good idea?â Cedrick lifted his eyes.
+25 Bonus Patting his chest, Nico assured him, âOf course! I have many quirky ideas, and I promise one of them will quell Ms. Gwendolynâs rage!â 15 注: 4/4
