Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 306 I Am Not Afraid Of You

Cedrick’s frown deepened when she did not speak. “Gwenny?”

Snapping back to her senses, she explained firmly, “My gut feeling tells me he’s hiding something and that there is more to this than meets the eye. I sent the

“What did he ask in return when he gave you the cure?”

“Bail him out. He wants his freedom back.”

“That’s all?” Cedrick was suspicious.

“You’re right, but I don’t know his ulterior motive. Regardless, he has no one to help him out now, so I guess there’s nothing substantial he can do.”

Here, Gwendolyn clenched her fists and changed the topic. “Anyway, it’s getting late, Ceddy. Get some rest first. We’ll think about this tomorrow.”

Despite her trying to digress from the subject, Cedrick was adamant about getting to the bottom of it. “If he knew S404 was the antidote, I am at his mercy. He has too big of a bargaining chip to ask for just this.”

“I mean…” Gwendolyn hesitated, forcing a smile to hide her uneasiness. “How would I know what he’s thinking? He probably has a plan cooked up but didn’t tell me about it.”

She had already decided to keep the other two terms she agreed to from Cedrick, for if the latter found out about it, he would utterly knock back the idea of injecting the cure Charles

gave.

Moreover, she needed more time to consider her strategy moving forward regarding dealing with Charles and planned on drawing more helpful information from the man to get hold of the antidote.

When Cedrick was bent on finding out more, she rubbed her tense shoulders and looked at him with tired eyes, saying, “Why don’t we leave this for some other time, Ceddy? I’m so tired. It’s been a long day.”

“But, Gwenny…”

Looking at the persistent man, Gwendolyn held his face and kissed his thin lips, a gesture that happened to be their bedtime ritual.

“Goodnight, Ceddy.”
