Mr. Wright and Mrs. Right by Minerva Sowle

Chapter 232 Allow Me To Do It Tonight

Gwendolyn helped Cedrick to the hospital bed and pulled the blanket over him.

He had just finished surgery and was still weak. He was cold and trembling non-stop after standing in the hallway for over half an hour.

Gwendolyn turned on the heater in the room before sitting beside his bed.

She poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him, saying, “Nico told me everything when you were in the operation theatre, so you don’t have to explain anything to me. However, I do have some questions that I need you to answer.”

Cedrick nodded in response.

“Why did you become Maverick? If you’re Cedrick, then where’s the real Maverick?”

Cedrick reached over to grab her hand, feeling the warmth of her palm. “Do you remember me telling you about the car accident from thirteen years ago?”

“I do.”

“That year, the real Maverick Wright was fifteen years old when he died trying to save my life. Back then, the Jenson family was in chaos. I was young and couldn’t compete for the power of the family with both my uncles. When Maverick was still a child, his grandfather sent him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so his family had never seen his face. Hence, Grandpa let me temporarily take Maverick’s name so I could go into hiding. Thirteen years ago, everyone who escorted me in the car died in that accident. No one knows in Fairlake knows my real identity. Because of that, I became Maverick Wright without much hurdle, helping him to look after his grandfather and mother and aiding in the prosperity of Wright Construction Group.”

“I see.” Gwendolyn lowered her gaze. “What about half a year ago? Was your jar of ashes fake too? Justin watched as they pushed you into the cremation oven. Was that also fake?”

“The ashes are real. They belong to the real Maverick. As for the body, Nico found someone in the warehouse with a similar build to mine. Because of the fire, his face was unrecognizable. That was why Justin did not notice it wasn’t me.”

His voice was deep, and his tone was soft as he spoke. His eyes glistened with tears as he stared at Gwendolyn.

“Gwenny, I didn’t mean to lie to you. After I returned to Salinsburgh to snatch back the power of the Jenson family… It is impossible for me to turn back. However, I was so happy when I found out you were the daughter of the Harris family.”

Gwendolyn was silent as she looked at him.

Cedrick got nervous when faced with such an emotionless stare. “That night at your welcoming party, I was wrong for pretending to not recognize you. I’m also sorry for lying to you and putting on an act in front of you. If you’re still angry, you can continue to punish me. I’m willing to bear everything. Is that okay?”

“No, it’s not okay.”

Cedrick’s heart sank. He did not expect that she would reject him so swiftly.

He looked down and stared at his hands. The disappointment he felt could not be hidden behind his gaze.

While he was not paying any attention to her, Gwendolyn grabbed the chance to lean forward and place gentle kisses on his eyes, forehead, cheeks, and, lastly, his lips. Every one of her kisses was filled with patience and adoration.
