Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 333 Asking About Cedrick

The bitterness in Cedrick’s mouth was so thick that he could not even speak. He downed a whole glass of water before the bitterness subsided.

After taking the medicine, he felt drained. He collapsed against the bed frame. His eyelashes fluttered as his entire body trembled. He felt weak.

Treyton tucked the quilt around him. He rolled up his own sleeves to show Cedrick the red marks on his

arm.

“Look at this! I suffered on your behalf! My arm is all swollen.”

Then, he remembered that Cedrick’s eyes could not see. So, he grabbed Cedrick’s hand and ran his fingers along his arm for him to feel the bumps and cuts.

“Feel it! My arm is so swollen! So, please feel sorry for me, and stop causing any more trouble!”

Without any hesitation, Cedrick withdrew his hand swiftly and declared, “I’m not in the habit of touching

men.”

Treyton laughed and countered in a teasing tone, “So, you’re in the habit of touching women?”

“I will not touch any woman other than Gwenny.”

There was no doubt in his voice, and his jaw was stubbornly set. It was a serious proclamation.

Treyton nodded, satisfied with Cedrick’s answer. “I’m glad to hear that. You must remember that Gwendolyn is the treasure of our family. If you upset her or make her sad in any way, her two other brothers and I will not let you get away with it!”

Cedrick pursed his lips and smiled at Treyton’s impassioned proclamation,

Any mention of Gwendolyn invoked a great joy in him.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the men from the Federal Bureau of Investigation were halted by the guards outside the gates of the villa. They were surprised to see Asher appear.

“Why is Mr. Asher here? Where is Mr. Jenson?”

“He is down with flu and fever. I’m taking care of him on behalf of my sister. You can deal with me directly,” replied Asher with a rather bored expression.

“Uh…”

The men exchanged awkward looks with each other. “Mr. Asher, it has always been Mr. Jenson who makes the decisions regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Besides, this is a top–secret matter. Just let us come in and meet Mr. Jenson.”

Asher’s expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the documents in the men’s hands and held out his hand for them. “Give me those documents. I’ll pass it over to him personally.”

It’s not just about these documents. We
