Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

That evening, at the charity gala.

It was held at Fairlake’s most luxurious hotel, Gardens Hotel.

The hotel was splendid with opulent decor. Only prominent business tycoons and wealthy scions of Fairlake were invited to attend the gala.

As it was a charity event, Gwendolyn chose a black gown adorned with golden clouds embroidery. Her hair was elegantly combed to one side, giving her a mature and charming appearance that was both sensual and enticing.

Ever since the talent show, everyone knew she was the boss of Angle. So there were far fewer prejudiced gazes when they looked at her.

As soon as she and Joaquin appeared, they became the center of attention. With Joaquin’s popularity in the entertainment industry, the two of them instantly dominated the conversation.

Initially, Gwendolyn was determined to keep a low profile. However, she drew attention as soon as she appeared.

Joaquin saw that she wasn’t too happy and chuckled.

“There’s no helping it. You just look stunning. This gown is very demanding on one’s figure, but it looks like it was tailor-made for you. As expected, attending an event with you never disappoints. I’m so proud!”

Gwendolyn stared at him and whispered, “You’re teasing me already? So it seems the beating you took during the day doesn’t hurt anymore, huh?”

Joaquin’s expression instantly changed, and he looked pitifully at Gwendolyn as he wrapped his arm around hers. “No, it still hurts so much. This afternoon, I shot an action scene, and the pain was unbearable!”

Gwendolyn was amused by him, so she playfully flicked his forehead.

In the meantime, Maverick was observing the interaction of the two from afar.

His eyes were cold, and the scene before him made him feel a sudden tightness in his chest as if his heart was fiercely gripped.

But he knew he had no right to be jealous.

But he just couldn’t shake off the feeling of annoyance.

I’m so pissed!

Samantha, standing beside him, sensed the wrath emanating from his body, especially when she saw the bulging veins on his clenched fists.

“Maverick, shall we say hello to Ms. Shalders and Mr. Zipper?”

Maverick remained silent.

He neither agreed nor refused.

So Samantha decided to leave him there and headed off in Gwendolyn’s direction.

Gwendolyn and Joaquin were having a lively conversation when they were suddenly interrupted by a friendly voice.

“Ms. Shalders, long time no see. You’ve become even more beautiful, and even such heavy makeup can’t hide the foxy charm you possess.”

Joaquin was enraged when he heard the comment. “Everyone knows Gwendolyn’s beauty is unbeatable. She can outshine you even without makeup. And if her makeup is heavy, what do you call that plastered mess on your face?

Besides, not everyone can be a fox. Someone like you can only be a wild boar.”

“You!”

Samantha was infuriated. Did he just call me a wild boar?

How in the world am I that fat and ugly!
