How awkwardly did he have to fall to end up hitting the corner of his lips in the process?
Everyone present knew what had actually happened, but they tactfully kept silent as they lifted their utensils and dug in.
After the meal, Gwendolyn went to help Megan with the dishes.
As the men were going to discuss some matters, they grabbed a kerosene lamp and headed out.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense as they walked along the quiet village path.
The three of them walked in complete silence. It wasn’t until they could no longer see the house that Cedrick, who was leading the way, came to a stop.
He then turned around abruptly, his dark eyes shooting Charles a hostile glare.
Charles stuffed his hands in his pocket, calm and casual as ever.
The very sight of his face made Cedrick’s blood boil, and he called out grimly, “Nico.”
Nico instantly understood what Cedrick wanted without needing the latter to spell things out. He took two quick steps forward to grab Charles’ collar and clenched his fist, ready to punch Charles’ face.
Cedrick gave Nico a glance and reminded him, “Don’t hit me in the face. It’ll be too obvious.”
Nico’s fist halted midair and soon changed direction to hit Charles’ stomach.
He swung his fist several times, each time increasing in intensity.
Charles offered no defense or resistance. He remained silent, tightly furrowing his brows, enduring the immense pain inflicted upon him. Only when a metallic scent rushed up his throat did he finally turn his head to the side, coughing out a mouthful of blood.
Nico stopped and let go of his collar. Still not satisfied, he shoved the latter.
Charles stumbled back, leaning heavily against the tree behind him. With one hand pressed against the tree trunk for support, he coughed violently, trying to regain his breath.
Blood seeped out from the corner of his lips, and his face paled. He was in terrible pain.
The sight of Charles’ miserable expression lightened Cedrick’s mood. “I can’t believe you had the audacity to pretend to be Gwenny’s husband. If Gwenny believed you, you would’ve fled with her, right?”
Charles wiped the blood from his lips and licked his teeth. A flippant smile appeared on his face.
“No way, Mr. Jenson. I was just teasing Gwen. Who would’ve thought that even without her memories, she’d still be so sharp?”
Cedrick knitted his brows and gritted his teeth. “You’re asking for it.”
With that, Nico took another step forward and pinned Charles against the tree before punching him several times in the stomach again.
The pain was agonizing, and Charles coughed uncontrollably, but he clenched his jaw and didn’t make a sound.
Cedrick glanced at him coldly. “Why aren’t you dodging?”
“Two big shots of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are trying to hit me. Do you think I could dodge?”
