The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Learning To Use Him

The soft glow of the table lamp filled the bedroom with an enchanting ambiance.

Gwendolyn was trying her best to get her mind back. Once the opportunity presented itself, she nimbly turned over to put her elbows against his collarbones and stopped him from coming any closer to her.

She was still heaving from his earlier punishment, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

When Cedrick received her icy glare, he frowned as his eyes reddened. He looked miserable as he said, “Gwenny, are you trying to suffocate me to death?”

It was Gwendolyn’s first time seeing him so helpless, and her heart skipped a beat.

“Gwenny…”

After a few seconds of hesitation, Gwendolyn was defeated by his meticulous acting and whining. “Turn off the lights! And you’re not allowed to leave hickeys on my neck!”

Cedrick grinned in delight and swiftly turned off the light on the bedside table.

The moonlight filtered through the curtains and cast a soft blanket of silver on the bed, concealing the traces of love left in the room.

It was a night of passion.

Soon, the sun rose.

Gwendolyn was in a deep slumber that night, and she woke from Cedrick’s kissing.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of a certain man beside her. His head was resting on his hand as he propped himself up with his elbow. His seductive lips were curled into a smile as he stared at her with his dark eyes.

“How was your sleep last night?”

Gwendolyn gave him a glance before turning around to continue sleeping. “I’m exhausted. Sleepy.”

Cedrick then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer until her head was resting on the crook of his elbow.

She did not struggle out of his grasp and soon dozed off.

He drank in the sight of her as he trailed his bony finger down her button nose.

Her being in his life brought him bliss, and he would never forget the days he had with her.

Even if he were to sacrifice himself in the future, he would die without regrets.

Tickled by his touch, Gwendolyn frowned and muttered, “What are you doing?”
