Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 368

So he was worried about that, huh?

Gwendolyn’s lips curved into a grin as she reached up to caress Cedrick’s face. “Are you jealous?”

“Mm. Just a little unhappy.”

A frown made its way onto his lips as he looked away. The expression on his face seemed to convey a sense of sadness, silently pleading for consolation.

Gwendolyn stifled her laughter. Standing on her tiptoes, she gave him a peck on his lips before comforting him, “Ceddy, you look so cute when you’re jealous! Be a good boy. I remember what you like, too. I’ll only focus on you in the future and forget about everyone else. Is that okay?”

Cedrick’s frown vanished as he stared at her. “You’d better keep your word.”

Gwendolyn hastily nodded. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him as they watched the plane that Charles was on depart Chanaea.

Meanwhile, inside the car parked outside the airport, Nico retrieved a packet of cigarettes from his pocket. As he listened to the sound of an airplane ascending into the sky, he placed a cigarette between his lips and ignited it, taking a deep inhale.

Gray smoke enveloped him, creating a tense aura. With a single glance, Nicole could tell he was in a rather foul mood.

“Nico, do you not want that Mr. Newton to leave?”

Nico took a long drag of his cigarette before saying, “I received a hundred and thirteen lashes from him when I was imprisoned in Erihal.”

I can’t quell the discomfort in my heart if I don’t get revenge for the beating he gave me.

Nicole grinned at the man’s words. “I heard that you assisted Mr. Jenson in punishing Mr. Newton many times. Surely, it’s not just a hundred and thirteen lashes, right?”

The cigarette between his lips moved as he uttered in a magnanimous tone, “You have a point. Now that I think about it, it seems like a win for me. I guess I’ll let him go then.”

Nicole cupped her hand over her lips and chuckled discreetly, thinking, Although ruthless in carrying out his orders, he’s soft at heart. He’s not the bad person that others make him out to be.

The smell of tobacco intensified in the car, causing her nose to feel a tad uncomfortable. Nico did not seem to realize it as he continued smoking.

Nicole pouted her lips, and her mood soured in that instant.
