The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 274 She Is His Savior

Sensing that she was about to punish him again, Cedrick quickly pushed against her with both hands to keep her at bay.

Having found out that his body was degenerating, however, Gwendolyn did not fear his resistance at all.

To her, he was nothing but a weak and sickly man with an attitude.

Gwendolyn effortlessly pinned his arms down once again and licked her lips with a mischievous grin.

“Oh my! Are you having trouble breaking free, Mr. Jenson? Since I have you completely at my mercy, shouldn’t you behave yourself a little bit more?” she asked in a teasing tone.

Gedrick felt really conflicted when he heard that. His ego as a man forbade him from giving in, but there was nothing he could do due to his weakened physical state.

After struggling for a bit, Cedrick snorted defiantly and turned his head aside.

The fact that there was nothing he could do about the situation left him feeling really frustrated.

Seeing as he still refused to submit, Gwendolyn grabbed him by the chin and forced him to look at her. “Seems that punishment wasn’t enough. Do you want to see some blood, Ceddy?”

Those words had barely left Gwendolyn’s mouth when she leaned forward and pretended to bite Cedrick on his swollen lips.

“No, don’t…”

Gwendolyn couldn’t bring herself to follow through with her bite when she heard him pleading for mercy. In the end, she simply gave him a gentle kiss to help relieve some of that pain.

They could feel each other’s breaths as their tongues intertwined passionately.

After kissing for what felt like forever, Gwendolyn took a moment to catch her breath before cradling his face in her hands.

“I will only say this once, so listen to me very carefully, Cedrick. I am not a woman who would date just about anyone. I have tons of ways to compensate you if guilt is all that I feel. There is no need for me to dedicate my heart and my life to someone I don’t love. Also, I am not sympathizing with you. It hurts me to see you in pain, so I want to stay by your side no matter how hard things get in the future. I want to help you

share that burden as I walk alongside you, and I will do everything I can to cure you. I’m not about to just sit by and watch you die. Oh, and I’m not as weak as you think I am, so please have some faith in me! We will surely be together for a lot more than just five months. We are going to stay together for a very long time and live a beautiful life together. Think of it as a future that I will create for you, if you will,” Gwendolyn said sternly.

Whoa… I’ve never seen Gwendolyn this serious!

Cedrick’s face was filled with shock as the two of them stared deeply into each other’s eyes.

The part where she said she would create a future for the both of them got him fantasizing about their future together.
