Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 566 Business Trip

As contentment surged within Gwendolyn, Sienna continued, “I don’t like this Annie either. Don’t worry, Gwen. I’ll definitely think of a way to help you, but…”

Sienna paused as a troubled expression spread across her face.

After hesitating for a few moments, she held Gwendolyn’s hands and persuaded the latter solemnly, “Gwen, ever since Evelyn’s incident was exposed, Asher handed over all his authority and truly stopped meddling in Evelyn’s matters. He has been repenting all this while. After all this is over, can you forgive

him?”

Gwendolyn lowered her head and silently retracted her hands from Sienna’s grip.

“Sienna, I don’t want to lie to comfort you. Let’s discuss this again after everything has really ended. At the very least, I can’t see his changes for now.”

Sienna nodded in understanding, not planning to force her.

The two changed the topic and chatted for a while longer before Sienna got out of Gwendolyn’s luxury car and left.

As for the situation at Mount Tranquil, they could only wait and observe further. Gwendolyn glanced at the clock and realized it was about time to get off work. The regular meeting in the afternoon was forced to be postponed until tomorrow due to unforeseen circumstances at Mount Tranquil. Hence, she chose to turn around and drive back to Harrick Villa.

When she got home, Nico was also there. Cedrick was packing his luggage upstairs.

Gwendolyn was puzzled. “Nico, are you guys going on a business trip?”

Nico nodded and replied with all seriousness, “Something came up at the border. It’s a pretty tricky situation to handle, so we must go there at once to check it out. We have to leave tonight.

Gwendolyn could understand since it was an official business matter for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“How long will you be gone, then?”

Nico thought for a moment before shaking his head honestly. “I’m not sure. If the situation over there is handled well, we might be back in two days. Otherwise, we might not even be back in a week.”

In other words, she and Cedrick would be separated for at least two days to one week.

While the two were talking, Cedrick came downstairs carrying his packed suitcase.

Seeing that, Nico immediately stepped forward to help him carry the bags.

Cedrick glanced at Gwendolyn in the living room and instructed Nico, “You go ahead and take the suitcase out first and wait for me outside. I want to talk to Gwenny alone.”

“Okay.” Nico obediently carried the suitcase out and waited patiently in the garden.

Once he left, Cedrick strode toward Gwendolyn, pulling her into his arms and holding her tight.
