Chapter 330
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 330 Snowy Day Cedrick paid no heed to his grumbles and continued, âHas the snow piled up on the ground?â 69 40+15 Bonus Having been brushed off, Treyton had no outlet to vent his mounting frustration.
He cast an impatient glance at the garden, where heavy snowflakes were falling relentlessly.
âIt just started showing tonight, so the snow hasnât piled up on the ground yet.
But it has piled up on the leaves, though.
â Cedrick listened to him quietly and painted the snowy image in his brain.
A half smile nudged his lips a he asked, âIs it pretty?â Illuminated by the street lamp, the snowy scene in the garden was a pretty sight.
However, Treyton wasnât in the mood to enjoy the scene.
He was nodding off and wanted nothing than to bury himself in his bed.
more Nevertheless, Cedrick seemed enthusiastic and reached out to catch the snowflakes.
âIs it also snowing at Erihal? Is Gwenny enjoying the snow just like me?â Oh, heâs missing Kiddo.
Moved, Treyton let out a sigh without saying anything.
âWeâre gazing at the same sky.
Does she realize Iâm longing for her? I miss her dearly.
Truly, I doâ¦â Cedrickâs voice quivered, weakened by the biting cold.
It was impossible to determine how long he had endured the chilly wind.
However, his eyes which had lost focus seemed to sparkle when he expressed his longing for Gwendolyn.
.
Treyton was a little moved after witnessing Cedrickâs plight, and his tone softened.
âIndeed, itâs the same sky, but it should be morning where she is.
If she learns that you ventured out at night and fell ill, sheâll be upset.
You must prioritize your wellâbeing and seek treatment until she returns.
Let me help you to your room.
Later, Iâll bring you a cup of hot tea to help warm you up.
If you fall ill tomorrow, Kieran and I will have to take care of you.
Kiddo will also worry about you.
â Cedrick was still focused on feeling the snowflake in his palm and continued asking, âYou told me this morning that she wonât marry Charles to get the antidote.
Does that still count?â Well⦠Treyton wasnât sure about that, but he had to lic to placate Cedrick.
.
âAbsolutely.
Kiddo assured me that she has a foolproof plan to acquire the antidote.
She will return within two weeks.
Plus, Nico has gone her.
He has received extensive training from the Federal Bureau of Investigation for many years, so we can trust him.
â Hearing that, Cedrick felt much better.
Nicoâs with Gwenny.
He will risk his life to protect her.
I hope they will make it back safely.
âCome, letâs go back to the bedroom.
â Treyton held his arm and led him back to the bedroom.
After turning downstairs to prepare some ginger tea.
heater on, he then went Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Jadeborough in Erihal, Gwendolyn found it difficult to adjust to the local 1/3 Chapter 330 Snowy Day cuisine and could only manage a few bites of the lunch prepared by the cook, +15 Bonus The temperature took a sudden plunge in the afternoon, and within moments, heavy snowfall blanketed the courtyard, transforming it into a picturesque winter wonderland.
Being on the outskirts provided an unobstructed view, amplifying the beauty of the snowy scene.
Gwendolyn enjoyed the snowy scene by the window and soon spaced out.
Nico approached and handed her a thick cape, then proceeded to close the windows.
âThe temperature here is colder than in Chanaea, so please make sure you layer up, Ms. Gwendolyn.
â Gwendolyn didnât refuse his offer and pulled the cape around her.
She had an important mission to accomplish, so she needed to take good care of herself and couldnât afford to fall sick.
Noticing the sadness in her expression, Nico asked in a gentle tone, âMs. Gwendolyn, do you miss Boss?â Gwendolyn bobbed her head, her eyes fixed on the snowy landscape outside.
âThe view is breathtaking.
I was thinking of taking a photo to show him once weâre back, but then I remembered our phones were confiscated.
Besides, he canât see anything right now.
â Nico felt his heart being squeezed.
He felt a pang of sadness seeing Gwendolynâs disappointed expression.
He could barely imagine how she was coping right now.
A tense atmosphere filled the room after their conversation, accompanied by a subtle undercurrent of sadness.
Nico wanted to console her but had no idea what to say.
Finally, the silence was broken by a knock on the door.
They quickly regained their senses.
Gwendolyn glanced at the listening devices on the table.
Understanding Gwendolynâs silent message, Nico carefully returned the listening devices to their original hiding spots.
He then retreated to his room upstairs, locking the door behind him.
The person outside began pounding on the door anxiously.
Calmly, Gwendolyn got up to open the door.
The door swung open, revealing a man dressed in a luxurious fur coat.
His once wornâout face had regained its refined appearance, no longer bearing the marks of his time in the highâsecurity prison.
His eyes sparkled as he flashed a charming smile, adding to his undeniable charm that surpassed even that of a woman.
His body was covered in snow, and it seemed that he had made his way over hastily.
If Gwendolyn had seen him seven years ago, she would undeniably be in awe of his handsome face.
However, Charlesâ handsome appearance did nothing to diminish the pure disgust she felt for him.
á 2/3 Chapter 330 Snowy Day +15 Bonus âWe last met a week ago, and youâre now all dressed up, huh? Alas, your pretty looks canât conceal your vile heart, you filthy animal,â she sneered.
Charles wasnât mad at all despite getting mocked.
In fact, he was beaming.
âOh Gwen, youâre such a sweet talker.
Itâs been a while since we last met, but youâre still as stunning as ever.
No wonder Iâm head over heels in love with you,â he told her earnestly.
Gwendolynâs expression turned frosty as she turned to stare at the snow outside, paying no heed to his frivolity.
Charles entered the living room with a casual demeanor.
He unbuttoned his coat and casually threw it onto the couch.
âAre you settling in well here? Did you enjoy lunch? If the cookâs cooking style doesnât suit your taste, I can arrange for a different one,â he remarked.
Gwendolyn settled on the couch across from him and poured herself some coffee.
âYouâre the one who disgusts me.
Why donât you end your life with a knife?â âIf I die, how am I going to save you? You also wonât get the antidote for the poison, and Cedrick will die.
Well, my life is quite valuable, isnât it?â Gwendolyn was utterly repelled by Charlesâ statement.
âI now realize that youâre nothing more than a beast.
I should have seen it when you taught me how to shoot.
Back then, I should have aimed and shot you dead,â she declared, her voice filled with anger.
Charles chuckled upon hearing her words.
âOh, Gwen, youâre truly adorable.
My love for you only intensifies with each passing day.
I believe our married life will be incredibly interesting!â he exclaimed with enthusiasm.
He fixed his icy blue eyes upon Gwendolyn.
*** Gwendolyn refused to waste time with him.
âIâm here now.
When will you give me Super Antiviral?â âThereâs no rush.
You should spend a few days getting used to the surroundings.
Weâll register our marriage, then hold our wedding.
On the day we consummate our wedding, Iâll hand the antidote to you personally.
â Hearing that, Gwendolyn balled her fists up beneath her cape.
Consummate our wedding? I think Iâll puke even if he touches my hair.
Iâd rather drag him to hell than sleep with him.
Biting back the urge to kill him immediately, Gwendolyn forced herself to calm down and let out an icy snort.
âIt looks like youâre not confident of getting the antidote.
Before coming here, I asked around and learned that it belongs to the royal family.
There is only one in Erihal.
Why would the king give it to you?â
