The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 299 Asking For It

Gwendolyn felt a lump in her throat.

He had changed his clothes earlier, but at least he was still wearing his underwear.

Gwendolyn could feel her heart pound.

Taking a bath means he will have to be naked! I can’t guarantee that a pervert like myself can hold back!

She was trying to come up with an excuse to refuse when Cedrick said, “It’s just a bath. I’ll feel horrible if you don’t agree, Gwenny. My chest is going to hurt again!”

He appeared melancholy as he spoke, pouting and holding his hand over his chest.

Gwendolyn sighed helplessly. Ever since it became impossible for him to hide his disease, Cedrick became more and more at ease playing the pitiful card.

Frustratingly, Gwendolyn would fall for it from time to time.

“Stop acting already. I’ll get the bath ready.”

The man smirked, having gotten his way.

Gwendolyn went into the bathroom and increased the temperature of the heater. She filled the tub with water and added the body wash to it.

Once everything was warm and prepared, Gwendolyn shouted, “You can come in now! The bath is ready.““”

Cedrick strode into the bathroom. He was wearing the new cotton robe Gwendolyn had bought him.

The woman tested the water temperature again, and it was just nice.

Turning back, she saw Cedrick still standing there blankly like a blockhead.

“Why aren’t you taking off your clothes?”

He raised his arm a little, and his fingers hung limply. With a piteous look, he said, “I don’t have strength in my arms…”

“Oh! Look at how delicate you’re acting!” Gwendolyn’s face darkened, and she stripped him naked the next instant. “I’ll spoil you now since you’re sick. Go on and continue with your act, then. Just you wait. We’ll see what happens once you’re all well,” she said through gritted teeth.

Cedrick slumped weakly against her when he heard that. With his chin on her shoulder, he said feebly, “You’re being mean to me. I might not get well any time soon…”

“Shut up!”

Gwendolyn glared at him.

The man hissed in pain as he buried his face in her shoulder, quietly swallowing the bitterness he was feeling.

Gwendolyn straightened him up and held his face in her hands. “I’m here, Cedrick. You mustn’t have any thoughts of giving up on your life no matter what!” she emphasized with a serious look in her eyes.
