Chapter 628

Chapter 628 The First Day Of The Trip Facing the gaze of the three individuals, Cedrick leaned close to Gwendolyn’s ear and whispered, “I’m just thinking of helping Kieran gain some experience in pursuing a woman.”“

Gwendolyn stifled a laugh and caressed the man’s handsome face affectionately, explaining to Kieran and Inez, “Ceddy doesn’t have secret savings, and I’ve never managed his finances, Well, he might surprise me with small gifts from time to time, but he’s very responsible and never spends recklessly. I think he’s just joking around with you, Kieran.”

Cedrick’s dark eyes were filled with satisfaction as he playfully nuzzled her nose. “My wife knows me best.”

Kieran and Inez both cringed from Cedrick and Gwendolyn’s 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 Kieran’s 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.

“There are too many people here. Should we eat at the hotel?” Kieran suggested.

Gwendolyn disagreed. “The 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 we’re here, we should experience Tulen’s local culture.”

Cedrick tightened his grip on Gwendolyn’s hand. “She’s right.”

Inez, too, agreed. “The 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.”

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, didn’t 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 Kieran’s expectations, they seemed to have transformed into the women’s 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 couldn’t help but gasp in admiration. The women’s 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 women’s changing room, walking side by side like close confidantes, Gwendolyn’s 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 Kieran’s and Cedrick’s 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.

Gwendolyn’s 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.

Kieran’s 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, “Loosen your grip a bit! I can hardly breathe. We haven’t even gotten in the water, yet you’ve wrapped me up like this. What’s wrong with you?”

Kieran’s face darkened. “You’re showing too much skin. It’s not attractive.”

Inez stared at him in shock, as if struck by lightning, feeling deeply hurt. “I thought I looked good. Do you really not like how I look?”

Sensing Inez’s emotional distress, Gwendolyn swiftly reproached her brother. “Kieran, you shouldn’t have said that. What do you mean when you said she’s 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.”

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. “My 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.

I’ll feel jealous if any other men dare to lay eyes on her.

Having listened attentively to Cedrick’s words, Kieran instantly grasped the implied meaning. He looked at Inez apologetically and spoke sincerely. “Inez, I apologize for my thoughtless words earlier. That’s not what I intended to convey.

Inez suppressed her anger, refusing to accept his explanation. “I think you meant what you said, Mr.

Kieran. I understand what you meant when you said I’m unattractive.”

Kieran lowered his head. “But that’s not what I meant. You misunderstood me “What do you actually mean then?”

Cedrick and Gwendolyn’s lips twitched as they listened to the conversation.

Gwendolyn could not help but intervene. “What 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. “Kieran is not exactly good with words. When he said ‘unattractive, he actually meant that he didn’t want other men to lay eyes on you.”

Kieran nodded in agreement. “Yes. That’s exactly what I meant.”

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.

“Since that’s what you meant, why couldn’t you express it yourself? Why did Mr. Jenson have to explain your intentions for you?” she expressed her dissatisfaction, feeling a bit hurt. “It’s my first time swimming with you, and I chose a swimsuit that I really liked, thinking you would appreciate it.”

Kieran froze for a moment. “Of course, I appreciate it, but what I meant earlier…”

Inez’s anger was on the verge of erupting as she interjected, saying, “If you appreciate it, why is there still “but’? Are you trying to give me praise and then undermine it?”

Kieran defended himself. “That’s not what I meant.”

“What do you mean then? If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t. What’s with all the “buts?” she retorted.

“Inez, L” 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?
