The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 594 Romantic Entanglements

The longer Nico remained quiet, the more disappointed Summer felt.

Treyton immediately chimed in, “A man should have the courage to admit if he likes a woman, Nico. If you don’t answer the question properly tonight, you’ll be the one suffering and regretting it in the future.”“”

That was something Cedrick and Kieran had both experienced before.

“Back then, I, too, failed to notice I had already fallen for Inez long ago,” said Kieran.

“Think carefully before you speak, Nico. I was only able to obtain forgiveness after I narrowly escaped death from the fire previously,” advised Cedrick. “In fact, you personally witnessed my journey. While there aren’t many complications between you and Summer, if you answer the question erroneously, you’re certainly gonna have a hard time groveling on your knees.”

Nico was struck dumb. “L…”

Gwendolyn also reminded. “How about this? Imagine a future where Summer’s dating another man. What do you feel when that image is in your mind?”

Nico had been furious when he heard that. It was like watching a plant he’d spent time and effort in taking care of being eaten by an animal before it could blossom.

At that time, he thought if Charles truly dared to do that, he would beat the latter to a pulp.

Upon wrapping up his thoughts, Nico answered. “I’ll be very hurt and piqued. If her future boyfriend mistreats her, I may even butcher him.”

When everyone heard that, they laughed, which confounded him.

“Thank you, Nico! I knew I had a place in your heart. Don’t worry. You’ll be my
