Chapter 628
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 628 The First Day Of The Trip Facing the gaze of the three individuals, Cedrick leaned close to Gwendolynâs ear and whispered, âIâm just thinking of helping Kieran gain some experience in pursuing a woman.ââ
Gwendolyn stifled a laugh and caressed the manâs handsome face affectionately, explaining to Kieran and Inez, âCeddy doesnât have secret savings, and Iâve never managed his finances, Well, he might surprise me with small gifts from time to time, but heâs very responsible and never spends recklessly. I think heâs just joking around with you, Kieran.â
Cedrickâs dark eyes were filled with satisfaction as he playfully nuzzled her nose. âMy wife knows me best.â
Kieran and Inez both cringed from Cedrick and Gwendolynâs blatant display of affection, even though they themselves were also a couple.
Kieran knitted his brows, feeling slightly displeased.
He regretted asking Gwendolyn and Cedrick to tag along, for he was unsure how to react. Who knows they could be so lovey-dovey with each other?
Unaware of Kieranâs thoughts, Inez looked at Gwendolyn and Cedrick and could not help but feel a hint of envy toward their relationship.
After several hours of flying, the four of them finally arrived at the airport in the capital city of Turlen.
Turien was renowned as the land of sweet treats, particularly known for its love of sweet curry sauce.
Cedrick, Kieran, and the others went straight to the largest food center in the afternoon.
âThere are too many people here. Should we eat at the hotel?â Kieran suggested.
Gwendolyn disagreed. âThe most popular shops are often found in the bustling streets and alleys, offering the most delicious flavors. While five-star hotels excel in cleanliness and presentation, they often lack that authentic taste. Since weâre here, we should experience Tulenâs local culture.â
Cedrick tightened his grip on Gwendolynâs hand. âSheâs right.â
Inez, too, agreed. âThe streets have such a lively and vibrant atmosphere. Eating in a hotel would be too dull. I think indulging in street food would be a better choice. We can also take some unique photos to capture our memories.â
Since everyone agreed with Gwendolyn, Kieran had nothing more to say and could only accept their suggestion.
Gwendolyn ordered two servings of pineapple fried rice from a street vendor, while Inez opted for the signature hot and sour lemongrass soup and curry noodles.
Cedrick and Kieran, on the other hand, didnât even go through the menu and went along with the two women, eating whatever they ordered.
If Inez and Gwendolyn could not finish their meals, they would gladly help finish up the remaining food to avoid wastage.
The entire shopping experience in the afternoon was delightfully harmonious.
However, contrary to Cedrick and Kieranâs expectations, they seemed to have transformed into the womenâs bag carriers, trailing behind them.
The two women appeared to have clicked with each other as their trip progressed, becoming great friends and developing a bond. Walking side by side, they chatted and laughed while indulging in their shopping sprees.
Meanwhile, Cedrick and Kieran remained silent, dutifully following behind and carrying the things their respective partners bought.
For Gwendolyn and Inez, the three hours they spent shopping were enjoyable, but, for Kieran and Cedrick, it proved to be a rather uneventful experience.
At around four in the afternoon, as the weather grew unexpectedly hot, the group made the decision to visit a swimming pool for a refreshing swim.
Kieran and Cedrick had well-toned bodies that appeared lean when they disrobed.
As they emerged from the changing room, they were dressed in nothing but swim trunks.
With their broad shoulders, narrow waists, well-defined abs, and a perfectly sculpted V-line, they exuded an undeniable sex appeal.
They appeared like male models fresh off the pages of an international fashion magazine as they emerged. from the changing room.
Their striking looks elicited awe from local women, who couldnât help but gasp in admiration. The womenâs jaws dropped, and some were even on the verge of drooling.
Under the weight of all those stares, the two men stood by the poolside.
While one remained calm and composed, the other had a dark and intense gaze.
Both harbored a hint of displeasure as they silently waited for the ladies to finish changing.
After a brief few minutes, Gwendolyn and Inez emerged from the womenâs changing room, walking side by side like close confidantes, Gwendolynâs swimsuit, an emerald green piece meticulously selected by Cedrick, offered the perfect balance of coverage, enhancing her exquisite figure.
The lower half featured a delicate, translucent green skirt that added a touch of elegance to her slim waist and fair skin, making her look like a fairy, radiating purity and grace.
Inez opted for a dark red swimsuit that left little to the imagination, showcasing her alluring and voluptuous curves. It was a rare moment for her to embrace her feminine side.
Standing side by side, they created a perfect color combination of red and green that complemented each other beautifully.
There was no hint of discord or tackiness. Instead, they complemented each other harmoniously, like a pair of sisters.
As they emerged, not only Cedrick and Kieran were momentarily stunned, but the men in the pool behind them also perked up, with many even whistling in an attempt to catch the attention of the two beauties.
The expressions on Kieranâs and Cedrickâs faces turned grim.
They believed the most sensual and alluring aspects of their women should be exclusively reserved for them. How dare those lowly men lay eyes on them?
Driven by possessiveness, Cedrick and Kieran simultaneously grabbed a towel and approached their respective partners, draping the towels over them.
Gwendolynâs swimsuit, personally selected by Cedrick, had a more conservative design, but it was not the case for Inez.
The swimsuit Inez put on accentuated her seductive figure.
Kieranâs expression grew stern as he wished he could wrap his fiancée up like a mummy, covering her from head to toe.
Feeling constricted by the tightly wrapped towel, Inez protested, âLoosen your grip a bit! I can hardly breathe. We havenât even gotten in the water, yet youâve wrapped me up like this. Whatâs wrong with you?â
Kieranâs face darkened. âYouâre showing too much skin. Itâs not attractive.â
Inez stared at him in shock, as if struck by lightning, feeling deeply hurt. âI thought I looked good. Do you really not like how I look?â
Sensing Inezâs emotional distress, Gwendolyn swiftly reproached her brother. âKieran, you shouldnât have said that. What do you mean when you said sheâs not attractive when she shows too much skin?
Be mindful of your words. If you offend my future sister-in-law, you might lose her for good.â
Cedrick carefully draped the towel around his wife, ensuring her modesty below the neck. With a knowing look, he directly gave Kieran a piece of advice. âMy wife is undeniably stunning, and I can hardly contain myself when I see her in this swimsuit. However, her beauty is meant for my eyes only.
Iâll feel jealous if any other men dare to lay eyes on her.
Having listened attentively to Cedrickâs words, Kieran instantly grasped the implied meaning. He looked at Inez apologetically and spoke sincerely. âInez, I apologize for my thoughtless words earlier. Thatâs not what I intended to convey.
Inez suppressed her anger, refusing to accept his explanation. âI think you meant what you said, Mr.
Kieran. I understand what you meant when you said Iâm unattractive.â
Kieran lowered his head. âBut thatâs not what I meant. You misunderstood me âWhat do you actually mean then?â
Cedrick and Gwendolynâs lips twitched as they listened to the conversation.
Gwendolyn could not help but intervene. âWhat are you two going on about? Just tell her what you think. Kieran Kieran struggled to express himself and got caught up in the topic, feeling overwhelmed.
Cedrick gently patted his shoulder and swiftly came to his rescue. âKieran is not exactly good with words. When he said âunattractive, he actually meant that he didnât want other men to lay eyes on you.â
Kieran nodded in agreement. âYes. Thatâs exactly what I meant.â
Glancing at Cedrick, who was eloquent and had high emotional intelligence, Inez could not help but feel frustrated when comparing him to her own fiancé.
âSince thatâs what you meant, why couldnât you express it yourself? Why did Mr. Jenson have to explain your intentions for you?â she expressed her dissatisfaction, feeling a bit hurt. âItâs my first time swimming with you, and I chose a swimsuit that I really liked, thinking you would appreciate it.â
Kieran froze for a moment. âOf course, I appreciate it, but what I meant earlierâ¦â
Inezâs anger was on the verge of erupting as she interjected, saying, âIf you appreciate it, why is there still âbutâ? Are you trying to give me praise and then undermine it?â
Kieran defended himself. âThatâs not what I meant.â
âWhat do you mean then? If you like it, you like it. If you donât, you donât. Whatâs with all the âbuts?â she retorted.
âInez, Lâ Kieran was at a loss for words.
On the sidelines, Gwendolyn and Cedrick, too, were rendered speechless. Are they going to continue arguing about this topic all day long?
