The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 258 Playing The Pity Card

The burning passion in the masked man’s eyes was conspicuous to Gwendolyn, making her heart skip a beat when she sensed the threatening vibe from him.

Disregarding the onlookers, Cedrick rubbed her nose with his nose tip endearingly and whispered to her, “Forgive me, Gwenny, but this is the only thing I can do. You refused to give me a chance to explain myself.”

“Are you se-”

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.

Just like that, the two shared a steamy kiss with Gwendolyn in Cedrick’s arms right in front of the venue

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!”

“They look so good together. I can’t take this anymore. I’m blind.”

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

Meanwhile, having waited at the lounge for Gwendolyn to come out of the restroom for some time, Joaquin decided to go out to look for her and saw her kissing Cedrick.

He almost fainted as he stared at Gwendolyn’s lips being ravaged by the man.
