Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Everyone directed their gazes at Asher, who had voiced his opposition to the marriage.

He uttered solemnly, “Cedrick, don’t think we will marry her off easily just because you got her pregnant. Even if she never gets married and gives birth to these two children, the Harris family will support them for a lifetime.”

Marcus’ face darkened as he shouted, “Enough!” “Dad, although you are the ultimate decision-maker, I have to remind you that ever since Mom passed away, I have been the one rearing Kiddo like a mother. Regarding her marriage, I hope you can discuss it with me.”

In that aspect, only Asher was capable of controlling Gwendolyn.

Marcus did not agree with him, but he did not directly refuse either. “Let’s eat first. After dinner, you can all have a proper discussion,” was all he said in the end.

“All right,” Asher replied.

The sound of cutleries clanking against each other resumed as they began eating New Year’s Eve dinner in silence.

After the meal, Lorelai took Marcus upstairs to watch the countdown celebration, leaving Asher, Sienna, Kieran, Treyton, Cedrick, and Gwendolyn in the living room.

Gwendolyn knew Asher was still angry, so she dared not sit down and stood obediently on the side. Cedrick also did not take a seat, standing with her.

Asher sat in the middle of the couch, maintaining an upright posture. A terrifying aura enveloped him.

Sienna sat beside him while Treyton and Kieran sat on separate couches on either side.

There was a chilling atmosphere in the air, reminiscent of a trial in a courtroom.

Gwendolyn anxiously lowered her head, feeling suffocated under the tension. Cedrick clutched her sweaty palm to give her a sense of security while urging her to relax.

A few more minutes passed, and Asher began to speak sinisterly. “Gwendolyn, well done! You have decided to give me a huge surprise during the holidays. Do you want me to break your arm or leg? Choose one for yourself.”

Alarmed by the threat, Gwendolyn felt her heart skip a beat. Before she could speak, however, Treyton stood up for her. “Asher, we must be careful with her for the first few months. No hitting is allowed. Plus, she’s carrying twins!”

Kieran chimed in, “Cedrick should take full responsibility. Break his legs first before anything else.”

Sienna nodded in agreement.
