The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 307 You Are The Snack

Gwendolyn was left utterly confused by the man’s words.

Cedrick’s anxious but endearing voice almost made her choke out of surprise.

What on earth is he thinking? Didn’t I tell him yesterday night that I only have eyes for him? Has he forgotten about it, or does he not believe me?

Upset, she tried to pry open his arms so she could speak to him properly, but looking at him curled up in a fetal position reminded her of what she had seen the night before.

She caught him in the same position on the floor beside the door in the dark when she had crossed over from her room to his and turned on the lights.

From what she studied previously in psychology, this was a position people assumed when they were nervous and anxious–a sign of an immense lack of a sense of security.

The realization grieved her, for she had noticed that Cedrick had been struggling emotionally and physically since he fell ill and felt inferior around her.

It was as if he was struggling between his fear of losing her and his unworthiness to love her, so much so that Gwendolyn had almost forgotten how he used to be before all that happened.

In the past, he was a proud and forbidding man that everyone in the business sphere recognized as successful and decisive, but despite all his exceptional elegance, he was reduced to a humble man in front of her.

The thought of it hurt Gwendolyn so much that she felt her heart pound by a great weight until she could not breathe.

She took some time to calm down before lying down behind him and putting her arms. around him tightly.

“You’re the snack I was talking about, Ceddy. You are everything I love–you will be everything I love for the rest of my

life.”

The rigidness in her arms slowly dissipated away until Cedrick lowered his arms, revealing his charming face.

“Do you mean that?” he asked in uncertainty.

Gwendolyn hugged him tighter. With her chin resting on his shoulder and her face leaning against his, she hoped everything she did could make him feel her love for him.
