Chapter 460
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Noticing Cedrickâs darkened expression, Nico hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Summer away.
He even pretended to be solemn and lectured Summer, âHow many times have I told you? Gwendolyn is Cedrickâs precious, only to be admired and not touched. If you infuriate him, heâll have me discipline you.â
Summer puffed her cheeks in anger, sulking silently.
Gwendolynâs face turned red when she heard Nico saying she was Cedrickâs precious.
She waved Summer over to her side and said to Cedrick, âYou can start preparing the meal now. Let Nico and Treyton assist you. Iâll bring Summer upstairs to meet the babies.â
Summer instantly brightened up, cheerily jogging back to Gwendolynâs side. Subsequently, the two went upstairs together.
The three men in the living room exchanged glances. Nico and Treyton didnât know how to cook at all, clueless even about how to clean the vegetables, let alone anything else.
The atmosphere swiftly turned a little awkward.
In the end, Treyton and Nico stood by the kitchen door, watching Cedrick prepare the food in a practiced manner.
Cedrickâs proportion was perfect. He had long legs and a lean waist. He rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong and muscular arms. As he meticulously prepped the ingredients, his exquisite facial features were arranged into an exceptionally serious expression.
After observing him silently for a while, Treyton sincerely exclaimed, âKiddo is truly amazing. When we were in Fairlake, I never imagined she could train you so well. If this scene is broadcast live, I believe those executives and directors of Jenson Group will be shocked to see their usually stern and aloof CEO put on a black apron and cook in the kitchen.â
Nico stifled a laugh with his fist. âIâm also curious about when your cooking skills improve so much, Cedrick. I guess Gwendolyn mustâve helped a lot in honing your skill.â
They were all men and closely acquainted with one another, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Recalling the past, Cedrick smiled in resignation. âThe first meal I cooked for Gwenny was charred pork ribs and overly-seasoned bacon.â
Treytonâs expression changed at once. âDid she actually eat that disaster of a meal?â
Cedrick laughed even more helplessly. âAs astute as Gwenny is, how could she have possibly eaten it?
She forced me to finish the food, almost making me vomit out my gastric acid.â
Nico and Treyton burst into a fit of unrestrained laughter.
Treyton said, âKiddo inherited Kieranâs cunningness. Her mind is filled with all kinds of trickery.â
Nico also chimed in, âIf Gwendolyn were to publish a training manual, I reckon it would become a bestseller!â
The trio laughed, filling the kitchen with a harmonious atmosphere.
Sometimes, menâs happiness is simple like that. Once they shared some embarrassing stories, they could hit it off in no time.
Once the fragrant barbeque supper was ready, Cedrick called Gwendolyn and Summer downstairs, and the five shared a warm meal.
An hour later, it was past midnight.
The sky turned pitch black, and the entire city was tranquil. Only the ambiance in Harrick Villa remained lively.
Treyton, harboring pent-up frustrations, drank a lot of alcohol and quickly got dead drunk.
He clung to Cedrickâs arm and his eyes were red as he mumbled continuously, âJennifer, I was wrong.
It was all my fault. Please forgive me. Come backâ¦â
Cedrick grimaced, placing his hand on Treytonâs forehead and mercilessly pushing him away.
Intoxicated, Treyton looked heartbroken, as though he had been refused an apology. Sorrow and despair filled his countenance.
Cedrick had no choice but to knock Treyton out. Then, he instructed Nico, âItâs getting late. When you leave, remember to arrange for Elven outside the door to send Mr. Treyton home.â
âOkay. Rest assured, Cedrick.â
After everyone left, the late-night gathering finally came to an end.
Gwendolyn leaned on the table with one hand propping her chin and appeared lost in thought.
She hadnât consumed much alcohol earlier, but a blush adorned her face at that moment, making her look exceedingly beautiful and alluring.
Looking at her captivating appearance, Cedrick felt his throat dry and his heart fluttering.
He gently moved closer to her, caressed her flushed cheeks, and asked softly, âAre you thinking about Treyton and Jenniferâs situation?â
Gwendolyn hummed and uttered somberly, âIâll head to the Newton residence tomorrow morning to try and meet with Jenniferâhey, watch your hands!â
She was interrupted halfway through while discussing the serious topic because Cedrick had mischievously slid his hand freely on the back of her waist.
Not only did he not stop, but he also became more audacious, blowing air enticingly at her ear.
âDarling, now that weâve finished our supper, I want to eat some dessert. Will you indulge me?â
Gwendolynâs expression darkened. âI satisfied you this morning, and now youâre back at it again?â
Cedrick rubbed her neck with his nose and thin lips, unabashedly acting spoiled. âAre there any rules that we can only engage in this activity once a day? Even our meals have to be taken three times a day. Having dessert will be a nice touch to brighten up our lives.â
Ever since she gave birth and finished her confinement period, Cedrick had been uncontrollably carnal, relentlessly seeking to be intimate with her.
Gwendolynâs face turned a few shades darker. âI think I cannot keep condoning your behavior like this.â
My waist wonât be able to hold up if this continues!
Cedrick whispered aggrievedly, âIn that case, you can just satisfy me tonight. I wonât randomly ask you to gratify me from tomorrow onward.â
Gwendolyn snorted. âIn that case, shall I indulge you with a ruler tonight for dessert?â
He furrowed his brows, looking more discontented. âIf I can have my desires fulfilled after enduring a little punishment, that wonât be such a bad idea either. Weâll just consider it a form of foreplay.â
Gwendolyn was rendered speechless. Heâs truly a lustful man, relating everything to his lewd thoughts.
She didnât agree, but before she could reject, Cedrick had scooped her up and carried her away from the dining chair.
Soon, the two returned to their cozy bedroom and got intimate. The amorous atmosphere inside the room escalated and spiraled out of control.
The next morning, Gwendolyn was finally able to get out of bed after Cedrick massaged her until his hands were sore.
She quickly freshened up and had Ezra drive her to the Newton residence.
At that moment, the Newtons were having breakfast at the dining table.
Craig didnât return. Only Lucas and Jasmine were sitting around the table.
Hearing that Gwendolyn had come, Jasmine put down her spoon and went out to greet Gwendolyn at once.
âGwen, did you come here to see me on purpose?â She happily took Gwendolynâs hand.
Gwendolyn pursed her lips and smiled. âThatâs right. I had some free time, so I thought Iâd come over and see you. Is it convenient for me to go in for a chat?â
âOf course.â
Jasmine led Gwendolyn into the house with alacrity, but they were stopped by Craigâs bodyguard stationed outside the door.
âMs. Jasmine, Mr. Craig ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter the house during this time.â
Jasmine pouted in displeasure and snapped, âGo away! Gwendolyn is not an outsider.â
The bodyguard remained unyielding. âMr. Craig said that anyone whose family name is not Newton is considered an outsider. Please donât make things difficult for us. Otherwise, weâll have to report this to Mr. Craig.â
âYou!â Jasmine was beside herself with rage. âAre you threatening me?â
The bodyguard lowered his head, not refuting. He was making his intention clear with his silence.
Jasmine was furious, but there was nothing she could do. If Craig were informed of that, he would definitely unleash his wrath on her and punish her.
Gwendolyn tactfully grabbed Jasmineâs wrist and asked in an undertone, âWhatâs going on? Why is the security at the Newton residence suddenly so tight and no one is allowed to enter?â
Jasmineâs anger intensified at the mention of that. âItâs all because of that Jennifer who returned a few days ago!â
Gwendolyn frowned warily. âWhat happened to her?â
