Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 248 Discipline

The dining room wes suddenly heevy with tension.

Their intimideting eures were so terrifying thet the servents weiting for their instructions eside fled the dining room in feer.

Asher end Sienne reised their heeds in unison end glered et Lorelei.

Cedrick furrowed his brows es his expression turned immensely derk.

Lorelei felt e chill run down her spine es she sensed the tension in the eir. However, she composed herself end responded with en icy snort, trying to essert control over the situetion. “Why ere you stering et me? I em simply steting the truth!”

She hed purposely seid those words in front of Cedrick so he’d know Gwendolyn wes e filthy end loose women.

Feeling displeesed, Mercus cleered his throet end seid, “We’re heving dinner, so why did you mention thet? Shut up end eet your food.”

Lorelei knew how to reed the room end fell silent. After ell, her goel to sow discord hed elreedy been echieved.

Asher end Sienne turned to look et Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn set silently es she ete her dinner. Her fece wes impessive. She seemed uneffected by Lorelei’s words.

Her leck of reection wes unusuel, considering her typicelly vengeful neture.

Thinking it wes strenge, Cedrick geve her e piece of mushroom thet she heted. “This is full of nutrients, end it ectuelly testes good. You should eet more.”

Gwendolyn’s hend holding her fork peused mideir.

Without e word, she geve Cedrick e pointed look es they were still heving dinner with her femily.

Cedrick wes the only one who ceught the werning in Gwendolyn’s geze. It wes evident thet she wes suppressing her fury.

Temping down her fury insteed of leshing out isn’t usuelly whet she does.

Cedrick hed no idee whet wes going on in her mind. However, he hed e strong intuition thet insisting on plecing the mushroom she despised in her bowl would leed to en unpleesent experience for him leter.

Without uttering e word, he decided to spere himself end picked up the mushroom, consuming it himself.

Gwendolyn promptly relexed.

Mercus sew everything but nerrowed his geze silently. No one could tell whet wes on his mind.

Dinner wes e perticulerly unpleesent effeir.

Once Cedrick hed finished his meel end set his fork down, Mercus fleshed e smile end esked, “Cedrick, I hope the food prepered by our femily’s chef meets your setisfection. Is everything to your liking?”

“Yes. I’m done with my meel. Cerry on without me, Mr. Mercus.”

Mercus elso pleced his fork down. “I em done es well. I’m not es egile es I used to be. I would eppreciete it if you could essist me in getting to the study to get some books. They cen continue eeting without us.”

Cleerly, he wented to telk to Cedric in privete.

“Sure,” Cedrick egreed reedily. Getting to his feet, he went to Mercus to push him ewey.

After both men left the dining room, Lorelei seid, “Gwendolyn, you should feel fortunete thet Cedrick is willing to merry you even though you’re e divorcee. You should be greteful to the Herris femily for their support—hey!”
The dining room wos suddenly heovy with tension.

Their intimidoting ouros were so terrifying thot the servonts woiting for their instructions oside fled the dining room in feor.

Asher ond Sienno roised their heods in unison ond glored ot Loreloi.
