The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 233 Giving Gwenny A Massage

Cedrick sounded proud when he said that. It seemed like he was in a good mood.

He made himself seem like a piece of artwork that Gwendolyn had carefully and attentively completed.

Nico stared at him in shock. Cedrick’s gaze seemed to be saying… Look! My wife did this! Isn’t she amazing?

Khaff! Khaff! “It looks wonderful!” Nico gulped before nodding and complimenting Cedrick. “Ms. Harris is indeed

impressive!”

Satisfied, Cedrick buttoned his gown to cover the love bites.

Seeing that Cedrick was in a good mood, Nico hurriedly tried to claim credit. “Boss, shouldn’t I get some credit

since you were able to enjoy yourself? Ms. Harris must’ve been touched by everything that I told her. Is that enough

for me to redeem myself?”

Nico was nervous. Previously, he was deducted two years’ worth of salary.

“You did well.”

Cedrick’s lips curved into a smile. He emanated an elegant yet arrogant aura as he said, “I’ll return the previously

deducted salary. On top of that, I’ll also give you a six-month bonus.”

Nico cheered inwardly. Ahhhh! Boss is the best! He’s the world’s kindest leader!

However, Nico was still worried about Cedrick’s condition.

“But, Boss, please don’t use such a dirty trick in the future. Although you knew beforehand that you weren’t shot in

the heart, your life will be in danger from losing so much blood.”

Cedrick’s eyes darkened as he shot a look at Nico. “Are you saying there will be a next time? Are you hoping that

Gwenny and I will argue again?”

Nico turned pale with fear.

“Touch wood! I was just spouting nonsense. Boss, please don’t deduct my salary. You haven’t even banked in the

money…”

Sh*t! I take back what I said about the boss being the world’s kindest man! He’s so unpredictable, temperamental,

and unreasonable!

Cedrick could not see through Nico to discover the rage and curses the latter was thinking in his mind. His

expression turned hostile as he said, “Let’s get to business.”

Nico quickly regained his composure and straightened his back. “Tonight, Ms. Harris secretly brought me to the

Jenson residence and claimed some benefits from Mr. Xander for you.”

After knowing that Gwendolyn had not left, Cedrick’s expression softened. “What did she do?”

“She…” Nico paused momentarily as he tried to find the right words to say. “She stabbed a knife through Mr.

Xander’s chest and tied him up before pouring itching powder all over him. She was quite vicious with her act!”

Cedrick furrowed his brows into a frown. His tone was icy as he replied, “She even poured the powder onto his

private parts?”

“No! Of course not! I helped her do that!”

Nico hurried to wave his hand, denying Cedrick’s claim. He tried to please the latter by buttering up to him and said,

“Boss, you have such a nice figure. How could Ms. Harris lay her eyes on a skinny man like Mr. Xander?”

Cedrick scoffed but lost the frown on his lips when he heard that.

Nico continued, “However, this isn’t a small matter since Mr. Yael is not one to back down from a threat. He

definitely won’t let this slide. I’m sure he’ll throw a fit tomorrow morning.”

“What are you afraid of? Let them cause trouble if that’s what they want, but allow them to only do it in the

ancestral hall at the Jenson residence. Send some people to stand guard. Don’t allow any of them to make a scene

at the Harris residence.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“All right. Run along now. I’ll go back and accompany Gwenny.”

Cedrick waved his hand to dismiss Nico. Without waiting for the latter to respond, he returned to the room.

Nico stared at Cedrick’s retreating figure and tutted.

My, my… Boss is in such a good mood after he got laid.

Cedrick disliked having a female nurse change his IV drip. Hence, a male nurse entered the room the next morning

with a stainless-steel medical tray.

When the nurse pushed open the door, he was greeted by a shocking scene.

Cedrick, who wore a hospital gown, was sitting beside the bed and carefully feeding Gwendolyn. She had just woken

up and was still in bed.

The nurse was confused.

Who the heck is the actual patient?

He stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. He stared at Cedrick’s large and muscular back and was impressed

by the latter’s adoration for Gwendolyn.

This is a master class level of spoiling one’s wife!

Cedrick could not be bothered if anyone saw them. The only thing on his mind was that Gwendolyn was tired from

their activities at night and needed to replenish her energy.

Besides, it had taken him much effort to win back his sweetheart. It was only natural that he would spoil her.

He was going to pour all his love and attention onto her so that she would never leave him. He wanted to make sure

he spoiled her so much that she would not be able to handle her daily affairs.

On the other hand, Gwendolyn thought differently. She stopped Cedrick from continuing to feed her when she

noticed the male nurse standing at the door. “Are you here to change his IV drip? Come over.”

The nurse carefully brought the tray over. Cedrick instinctively held out his left hand to let the nurse insert the

needle.

Gwendolyn was about to get out of bed and let Cedrick sit in a more comfortable position to receive the IV drip.

As soon as she got up, Cedrick placed a hand on her shoulder and pushed her back down. He fondly said, “You

worked hard last night. Lie down a little longer. Is your waist sore? I’ll help you massage it later.”

Gwendolyn immediately flushed a bright red.

There’s still an outsider here! How can he say something so shameless and misleading?

“B*gger off!”

Gwendolyn gently pushed his chest as her face got redder in embarrassment. In the end, she pulled the blanket

over her head and hid herself.

How cute. Cedrick’s lips tugged into a grin as he stared at her.

In the next second, his gaze shifted to the thousand-watt “light bulb” beside him.

He glared at the male nurse and coldly said, “Hurry up.”

“Y-Yes, Mr. Jenson.”

The nurse quickly changed the IV drip and left the room. Cedrick glanced at Gwendolyn, who was still under the

blanket. His right hand disobediently reached into the blanket and gently massaged her slender waist.

“Are you feeling better from the massage? Now you know how hard it is to be a man.”

His deep voice was magnetic.

Still hidden under the blanket, she remained silent yet inwardly agreed to Cedrick’s words. Those few hours last

night almost broke her waist. Until now, her legs were still trembling from how weak she was.

However, women who sought sexual pleasure could not lose to their male other halves.

Gwendolyn lifted the blanket and struggled to sit up. Not admitting defeat, she pouted and exclaimed, “Oh, hush!

Wait until you get better! I’ll make sure you beg me to stop! Besides, I was very fierce last night!”

Cedrick’s smile widened as he reached out to pull her close to him. He lightly rubbed his nose against hers and

acted coy.

“Well, then… If you’re that fierce, why don’t you finish breakfast, and we can have some dessert? I want more…”

Gwendolyn reached up and pushed his face away. “You shameless b*stard! Can’t you be more aware of the

surroundings?”

Cedrick was unfazed by her cursing as he leaned forward and snuggled against her chest.

If I were shameful, I wouldn’t have been able to chase after you. I would’ve been brutally murdered and burned to

ashes instead!

Gwendolyn could not help thinking that he was really pushing his luck. She grumpily ruffled his hair before

smoothing it down. She repeated her actions and laughed as she had her fun.

The two were messing around when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

In walked Yael’s bodyguard, Charlie Yandell. He solemnly said, “Mr. Jenson, Mr. Xander was injured last night. Ms.

Harris seems to be involved in that xo.com fast updateincident. She’s your fiancée, so naturally, you’re

deemed her accomplice. I’ll have to ask you to please make a trip to the ancestral hall.”

Cedrick did not reply. As though he had not heard what Charlie said, he remained silent in Gwendolyn’s arms.

On the other hand, Gwendolyn’s expression turned grim as she glared at Charlie. “Are you blind? Can’t you see that

Ceddy is injured badly? How dare Xander sends his lackey to invite Ceddy to the ancestral hall? Is he courting

death? Besides, who’s the leader of the Jenson family right now? Is this the attitude a subordinate should have

when talking to the head of the family?”
