The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Gwendolyn’s expression turned awkward when she heard the question.

Upon giving it some thought, she furrowed her brows and held her forehead to indicate having a headache. “Hubby, I obviously remember our vows. You’ll always be in my heart, so that’s something I’ll remember forever. However, my head is thumping. Could you please let me rest for a while?” she responded casually.

Cedrick’s expression became increasingly grim, and his lowered gaze was filled with disappointment. At that moment, he felt as though he had a boulder on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. True enough, she’s not Gwenny. Back then, we got married because I begged Grandpa for it. In order to get Gwenny to forgive me and proceed with the marriage arrangement, I did everything I could to earn her forgiveness. I could never ask her for a vow. Yet, this woman before me doesn’t seem to know that. Although she looks like her and acts as elegantly as her, she’s not Gwenny.

Cedrick’s eyes were bloodshot, and his clenched fists were trembling.

He thought he had found his wife, but as it turned out, all he found was a mere imposter.

Indeed, he was in even more pain because he felt as though he had lost Gwendolyn all over again.

The woman noticed how gloomy he was and realized something was off. “What’s the matter with you, Hubby? Are you sad because I said something wrong?”

“I’m fine. You’re having a headache, aren’t you? Well, my heart is broken.” Cedrick suppressed his emotions and kept his gaze lowered.

The woman heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed Cedrick’s sleeve anxiously. “By the way, Hubby, where are Benny and Zendy? I haven’t seen them in so many days. I want to see them.”

Cedrick hung his head low as his gaze turned ever so frosty. “There’s no hurry. Once you get discharged in a few days’ time, I’ll bring you to them.”

“All right.” The woman flashed a smile. “I’ll listen to you, Hubby.”

Cedrick retracted his arm in disgust to stop the woman from grabbing his sleeve. After that, he lifted his left wrist to glance at his watch. It’s late. I should head back to the laboratory to keep Benny and Zendy company.

At that thought, he rose to his feet and uttered flatly, “It’s late. Rest well, Gwenny. I’ll be back early tomorrow morning.”

The woman froze momentarily. “Are you not staying with me at the hospital?”
