Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 241 Sheer Worry For His Employer

Nico had his back to Gwendolyn. He did not turn around immediately but surreptitiously exchanged a look with Cedrick.

Gwendolyn wore a blank expression and look entirely bewildered.

She had overheard the two men’s conversation from afar when she came upstairs after concluding her phone call. Due to the distance, however, she did not manage to make out everything, merely catching a somewhat unfamiliar keyword.

“Well?”

Receiving no response from either man, she alternated her gaze between them both.

Nico whirled around. Seeing that her expression seemed genuinely calm, he reckoned that she did not hear much and fibbed with a smile, “A suppressant is a type of drug found in laboratories. But Mr. Jenson and I were discussing a Federal Bureau of Investigation’s confidential mission just now, so I might not be able to disclose much to you, Ms. Gwendolyn.”

“Really?” Gwendolyn cast her gaze at Cedrick, tilting her head a fraction.

Cedrick nodded without any change in expression. “You want to know, Gwenny? If you really want to know, I don’t mind telling you.”

Gwendolyn pondered for a moment. “Never mind. Since it’s confidential, you’d best not tell me about it. I’m not that interested in knowing anyway.”

Nico and Cedrick furtively breathed a sigh of relief at that.

“I’ll leave you two to talk, then, Ms. Gwendolyn. Please excuse me.”

Gwendolyn dipped her head in acknowledgment. Once Nico left, she sat down on the edge of Cedrick’s bed and checked his chest wound. After two days, it had healed significantly.

In truth, she had not been mad at him for real for the past two days. She had merely used it as an excuse to sleep in a different room for fear that he would misbehave at night and employ everything in his arsenal to entice her into being intimate with him.

I can’t touch him to ensure that he recovers as soon as possible! But why are the hickeys on him still so distinct? How strange.

A frown marred her countenance. Unbidden, she swung her gaze at Cedrick, only to notice the shifty and peculiar look in his eyes.

“It’s been a few days. Why haven’t the hickeys on you faded at all? Did you pinch yourself for the effect?”

“Of course not! How could I possibly do such a strange thing? But it was the first time you initiated things. Isn’t it nice to have them as a token of remembrance?” Cedrick denied it to the bitter end.

Gwendolyn’s brows furrowed, making it evident that she was still skeptical.

“I want to have a shower, Gwenny.”
