Chapter 649 Tell Me The Truth

The cemetery?

Gwendolyn’s brows furrowed in skepticism as she stared intently at Cedrick’s handsome face.

Naturally, she knew exactly who was buried in Fairlake Cemetery. Back when she was unaware of Cedrick’s staged death, she had even lingered in Fairlake for six months, all for the sake of that tombstone.

Just when she was deep in thought, the man caressed her soft cheek with his large palm. With a slight smile on his face, he asked, “What’s on your mind, Darling?”

“I was just wondering… Are you planning to visit Maverick? And is there something about the Wright family that you’ve been keeping from me? Something that might be related to me?” Her voice carried a mix of intrigue and apprehension as she voiced her thoughts.

Cedrick gently traced the contours of her check with his slender fingers, his deep gaze obscuring any glimpse of his true thoughts, making it difficult for Gwendolyn to decipher his intentions.

With his usual soft and caring tone, he replied, “I noticed you didn’t eat much breakfast at the Wright residence, and your expression reveals a hint of melancholy. Turns out you’re thinking about this, huh, Gwenny? I suppose I can’t keep anything from my beloved wife. I must apologize for causing you distress and ruining your morning. It’s my fault for not considering how it would affect you,”

Gwendolyn gave his hand a light pat and playfully scolded, “Well, it’s good that you realized that. Honesty is essential in a marriage, you know. Now, be a good husband and confess everything to me.”

Cedrick took her hand and lowered his head with reverence before pressing a tender kiss on her palm.

“I intend to go to Fairlake Cemetery to reveal everything to you, but I hope you won’t be angry with me, Darling,” he said earnestly.

Gwendolyn chuckled, exuding a charming and forgiving demeanor. “It’s been so many years, so there’s no need to dwell on it. Besides, we have our children now, How could I ever abandon you and our little ones” over a petty disagreement?”

Cedrick nodded in agreement. “You’re right, Darling. It seems that I’ve let my thoughts get the better of

me.”

Twenty minutes later, a luxury car came to a stop outside Fairlake Cemetery.

Cedrick stepped out of the car and entered the nearby funeral shop,
