Chapter 595 Cedrick Asks To Be Punished

Nico exchanged glances with Cedrick in dismay.

Despite Cedrick’s gentlemanly demeanor, his words sounded like the devil’s whisper.

“You should clean up your own mess. If you fail to do so, I have a hundred ways of doing it for you. Do you want to try?”

With his knees going weak, Nico turned toward Gwendolyn and explained meekly, “Gwendolyn, I was being over dramatic just now. It isn’t as bad as it sounds. Cedrick had rescued a female university student who was kidnapped by terrorists during her travels. No one expected her to end up falling for him. Although she kept clinging onto him for a couple of days, you can rest assured that Cedrick stayed away from her, as you’re the only one he cares about. Not only did he firmly reject the girl a few times, but he also got Neville/to take her home after that.”

Nico finished the explanation as if he was pleading for his life.

The accurate recount of the incident brought a sense of relief to Cedrick, as he didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong in this instance.

In spite of that, he was surprised to see Gwendolyn fall into deep thought after hearing Nico’s words.

A short while later, she regained her senses and asked, “Why didn’t you ever mention it after returning to

Salinsburgh? Since your conscience is clear, why didn’t you dare let me know?”

Her words caused Cedrick to freeze.

Nico’s expression drastically changed as he continued to explain, “Don’t be angry, Gwendolyn. Cedrick didn’t tell you because he was worried that you would overreact. I swear that he is absolutely loyal to you, Regardless of how other girls try to seduce him, he would never succumb to their charms.”

Instead of replying, Gwendolyn maintained her gaze on Cedrick.

Even the smallest of his movements didn’t escape her keen eye. The gulping of his throat was a sign of his nervousness, while the guilt on his face was unmistakable.

Nonetheless, given the presence of her brothers and sisters–in–law, Gwendolyn broke into a smile instead. “Don’t worry. Of course, I trust him.”

She then served Cedrick some food with a twinkle in her eye. “Come, Hubby, why don’t you have some more? You must be tired after preparing so many dishes. In fact, I’ll give you a massage tonight.”
