The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 526 Kinky Dresses

“Are you not feeling well? Do you want to visit a doctor tomorrow and do a full body checkup?” Cedrick immediately replied with a solemn look on his face.

Gwendolyn rejected at once, saying. “Never mind. Didn’t Joshua do a checkup for me when I bit you last time? He said I was very healthy and there was nothing serious. The reason why I don’t seem to be able to control my emotions is due to my excessive worrying and lack of sleep during my pregnancy days. I don’t think it will help even if we go for another checkup. I could just be overthinking.”

Even with the woman’s reassurance, Cedrick was still worried.

“I think it’s better to go for another checkup. Although it could be just a minor problem, if we don’t get it treated, it could become serious later on.”

“There’s really no need for that. After all, Joshua is one of the best medical professors in the country. If he couldn’t find the cause of the problem. I don’t think any other doctors would be able to come up with a diagnosis. If that’s the case, why should we waste time and energy?” Rubbing the man’s bruise gently. Gwendolyn continued, “Let me ask the hotel staff to get us an anti-inflammatory cream. I’ll apply it for you later.”

“No! This hotel belongs to Neal. If he knows that you asked his staff to buy anti-inflammatory cream, he will know that I got beaten up.”

Gwendolyn gave it some thought and agreed that it made sense.

“How about you stay in bed and I go get it myself?”

Just as she turned around and was about to stand up. Cedrick wrapped his arms around her waist and stopped her from leaving.

“Have you forgotten that I was from the military? I’m not that weak. It’s just a minor wound and would take me at most two days to heal. Darling, if you really care about me, you should cancel the flight tomorrow morning and accompany me to Astoria’s largest mall to shop instead, just like we planned. What do you say?”

Gwendolyn said nothing in response.

“Let’s return to Chanaea two days later after we are done with our shopping. If you’re worried about our babies, you can video call Charles before we sleep and check on them every day,” the man continued.

Gwendolyn looked down at Cedrick, who was still hugging her waist, and asked curiously. “Are you not jealous anymore? I wonder who it was who threw a fit earlier just because I had a video call with Charles.”

Cedrick tightened his hold on the woman as if he was staking his claim on her. “Anything can be discussed as long as you accompany me shopping tomorrow and wear the dress I like.”

Gwendolyn let out an amused giggle and caressed her husband’s cheeks as she replied, “Sure. Let’s go shopping tomorrow, then. What’s so special about this dress?”

A mysterious smile appeared on Cedrick’s face before he leaned in and whispered something in Gwendolyn’s car.
