Gwendolyn remained silent. Her expression was somber with worry.

Cedrick continued, “I’ve already been recovering at home for the last two weeks. People will start to get suspicious if I don’t get out soon.”

“All right, fine,” Gwendolyn said grudgingly. “You’re not allowed to drink any liquor during the party. If I find out you drank anything other than fruit juice, you’re never going to hear the end of it from me!”

She glared at him fiercely while letting out a cute snort.

Cedrick threaded his long fingers through her silky raven hair and tilted her head slightly upward before bending down to kiss her gently.

After a long, drawn–out kiss, he pressed his lips together and reveled in the sensation of her soft lips. “Neither juice nor wine tastes as sweet as you, Gwenny.”

Gwendolyn put his mask on him and hit his shoulder gently as she cooed, “What a flirt!”

The two of them left the house amidst playful flirting. They then set out to the Ferguson residence in their black Shelby Supercar.

Eloise’s birthday party was scheduled to start at seven in the evening.

Gwendolyn and Cedrick showed up half an hour carly.

There weren’t that many guests around since the party hadn’t technically started yet.

Eloise rolled her eyes at the sight of them holding hands before walking over with a falsely bright smile. “Hi, Ms. Harris! Aren’t you and Mr. Jenson early today!”

Gwendolyn simply smiled in response.

Cedrick, on the other hand, didn’t even glance at Eloise. His dark irises maintained their icy gaze under his mask, which added an extra layer of mystery to his appearance.

Eloise was clearly ruffled at the lack of a response and couldn’t be bothered to put on a front any longer. Turning away, she struck up a conversation with the socialites standing nearby.

Sherman was sitting alone and had been broodily sipping at some liquor. When he heard that Gwendolyn had arrived, he was instantly delighted.
