The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 214 Curious About The Man

Upon ending her train of thought, Gwendolyn unknowingly emptied a whole bottle of red wine.

When Elven saw she was about to open another, he stopped her. “The doctor said you can only drink a little wine after you hurt your stomach last time by drinking too much, Ms. Harris.”“It’s only two bottles. Besides, I don’t get drunk that easily,” she replied.

Sighing, he reminded, “Did you forget you can’t hold your liquor as well as you could ever since that incident, Ms. Harris?”

After being stopped twice, Gwendolyn felt frustrated. Abruptly, she shoved the wine bottle and glass away. “Fine, I won’t drink anymore! Take these away!”

Folding her arms grumpily, she closed her eyes to nap.

Elven placated her with a smile and shot a meaningful glance at his colleagues. Soon, Gwendolyn’s table was cleared.

By the time they arrived in Salinsburgh, it was already night.

Just as Gwendolyn wondered if she should return to the Harris residence, she received a call from Jasmine.

Jasmine was overjoyed to learn the announcement of Gwendolyn’s background and arrival in Salinsburgh. “You’re finally back, Gwendolyn! How about we spend some time in The Honey Bee together? Many of your old friends are eager to meet you! Did you miss them?”

It has been years since I met my childhood friends, and I don’t want to return to the Harris residence anyway, so why not? “Sure,” answered Gwendolyn.

She only brought Elven with her.

As for Ezra and William, she requested them to book a hotel room as that was where they would be staying for the night. Meanwhile, Quinton was sent off to tell Marcus of their arrival.

By the time Gwendolyn reached the bar, the others had already arrived.

More than a dozen people were gathered there, including Jasmine, Sherman, Triss Jenson, David Jenson’s daughter, and her old friends.
