Chapter 258 Playing The Pity Card

Before she could finish, Gwendolyn felt Cedrick’s lips pushed against hers in just a nick of time.

Initially, she played along because many were watching them, but as the kiss dragged out, she was drawn into it and slowly closed her eyes as their breaths intertwined.

entrance.

The journalists who had come to the gala graced by celebrities also jumped on the opportunity and snapped photos of the epic moment, which left many socialites green with envy.

“They’re so sweet! Mr. Jenson is so manly!”

“That’s so romantic. I wished I had a fiancé like Mr. Jenson!”

“Argh! I’m so jealous! I want a boyfriend like that!”
