The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 809 Many Kids With My Wife

“But, Cedrick, just to be safe, I will review it once more and we can discuss it then.”

“Sure.”

After giving an affirmative response, Cedrick rose and left the ward.

Upon arriving outside Benedict’s hospital room, Gwendolyn was waiting for him at the door.

Upon seeing him, Gwendolyn embraced him. “Promise me you won’t take such risks in the future, okay?”

Cradling her head in his arms, Cedrick gently kissed her forehead and responded, “Okay, my dear wife. How are

our two little ones doing?”

In the car, he could hear the sound of Zendaya crying. His leave this time had really scared the two children.

Gwendolyn took his hand and led him into the ward.

The two children were sound asleep. Zendaya held Benedict’s hand tightly, deeply reliant on the warmth of her

older brother.

Gwendolyn couldn’t help but say. “I wonder if they also slept like this when they were in my belly.”

She felt incredibly fortunate to have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

A look of happiness appeared on Cedrick’s face, his dark eyes filled with desire. In a teasing voice that was hard to

resist, he said, “Gwenny, how about we give them a little brother or sister? Our two babies are growing up, it’s the

perfect time for them to have more playmates.”

Gwendolyn gave him a glance. “With the two of them. I’m already very content.”

Cedrick pulled her into his arms, whispering in her ear. “Honey, I’m serious. With our family wealth, we can easily

support another ten or eight children.”

Eight or ten of them!

Was she a baby-birthing machine?

As a punishment, Gwendolyn gave his face a hard pinch, pretending to be angry. She then lay down. beside the two

children, joining them for a nap.

A heartwarming scene of one big and two small figures unfolded before his eyes, filling Cedrick’s heart with

immense satisfaction.

No matter what, he was determined to protect his entire world.

At the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Through a series of advanced data recovery features, Neville finally found someone to successfully restore the

surveillance footage from within the Cloud family’s home. She also obtained the surrounding surveillance from the

day of the incident at the Cloud residence.

On the day of the incident, a group of fully armed individuals appeared at the Cloud family’s residence. They got

into a heated argument with Ignatius. Soon after, the surveillance was sabotaged, and then the

tragic incident at the Cloud family’s home took place.

The mastermind behind the Cloud family tragedy used such intricate methods that it reminded Neville of Joe, whom

they had just managed to capture.

Following Joe’s line of thought, Neville discovered that among the fingerprints collected from the scene, one set of

prints highly matched those of Joe.

Neville presented these pieces of evidence to Joe and began the customary interrogation.

At this moment, Joe’s hands and feet were bound, yet a trace of a peculiar smile still lingered on his face.

He looked at Neville and asked, “Why isn’t your boss the one interrogating me? Why is it a lackey like you? Do you

think you’re worthy of getting information from me?”

Beside Neville was a newcomer who had just assumed his position. Seeing Joe’s arrogance, he couldn’t. help but

curse under his breath. “Even on the brink of death, you’re still acting tough.”

Judging from the evidence of his crimes that had been collected, even without considering the tragedy of the Cloud

family, his sins were enough to warrant his death ten or eight times over. What audacity did he have to act so

arrogantly?

Swain gestured for him to stop talking recklessly, simply laying out the evidence collected so far in front of Joe.

“On the night of the incident at the Cloud family, you had a big argument with Ignatius. Do you have anything to say

about that?”

Joe raised an eyebrow. “What’s the difference between speaking and not speaking? Doesn’t Cedrick just want me

dead? Let him come over, I’ll tell him myself!”

Seeing his nonchalant demeanos, Neville slammed the table and warned. “My boss doesn’t have time to listen to

your nonsense, Joe. You better confess honestly, or we won’t hesitate to use special measures against you.”

Joe laughed arrogantly, staring straight at Neville, and said dismissively, “Isn’t forcing a confession the usual trick

from the Federal Bureau of Investigation? I’ve weathered bigger storms, do you think I’d be scared of your little

tactics?”

Seeing his uncooperative demeanor, Neville knew that he wouldn’t get much out of him. So, he had him sent back

to the holding room and informed Cedrick of the situation.

As expected, Joe wouldn’t admit his guilt so easily. Cedrick said in a deep voice over the phone, “Continue the

investigation into the Cloud family’s affairs. We must find evidence strong enough to nail him.”

People like Joe wouldn’t shed a tear until they saw the coffin. Only by finding irrefutable evidence could he truly be

cast into the abyss, unable to stir up any more trouble.

“Yes, Boss.”

After hanging up the phone with Neville, the darkness in Cedrick’s eyes intensified. It seemed that he was inevitably

going to meet Joe once again.

Night fell.

In another room of the laboratory, Cedrick was half-leaning against the window, lost in thought.

2/4

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Gwendolyn walked in, carrying a cup of milk.

Noticing that Cedrick’s expression was rather grim, she put down her milk and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?

Is it because Joe refuses to confess, or are you in too much pain? Do you want me to call Joshua over?”

The only tricky issue now was Joe. That cunning fellow was surely trying to buy more time so that the forces behind

him could figure out a way to get him out

In front of his own wife, Cedrick wore a look of sorrow on his face, deliberately putting on a pained expression. He

furrowed his brows and said, “Darling, you have no idea how brutally Joe beat me up last night. It hurts here, and

here too. I want you to give me a massage.”

As Gwendolyn walked over, she gently rubbed the spot he had just touched, playfully chiding with patience. “Our

child is already five years old. If our little babies heard what you just said, they would surely laugh at you.”

Cedrick raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with me being affectionate with my wife? Who dares to laugh?”

After he finished speaking, he buried his head in her embrace, inhaling the scent that was uniquely hers. His only

sense of unease seemed to be healed in an instant.

The two sat by the window for a while.

They could perfectly see the stars outside from the window.

“People often say that when a loved one passes away, they become the brightest star in the sky. Hubby, what do

you think about us…”

“Gwenny, we will both live to a ripe old age, so don’t let your mind wander to unnecessary worries.”

Cedrick kissed her lips, effectively silencing the words she was about to speak.

He, along with Gwenny and their babies, would all have a long and prosperous life, with everything going smoothly.

Just as the two were sharing a tender moment, the sound of Joshua knocking on the door echoed from outside.

“Cedrick, the results are out.”

Cedrick immediately left Gwendolyn’s soft lips, decisively stood up, and said, “Gwenny, you and the children should

rest first. I will go to the Federal Bureau of Investigation later to deal with Joe’s matter.”

“You’re working overtime at the Federal Bureau of Investigation this late? Are you hiding something from me?”

Gwendolyn was doubtful.

It was almost ten o’clock. Couldn’t whatever it was wait until early tomorrow?

Did he really have to go over in the middle of the night?

Could it be that Joe was up to his old tricks again?

Cedrick looked into her worried eyes and comforted her with a smile. “It’s nothing to worry about. Neville called me

this afternoon, saying that Joe wants to see me. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

He made too many promises, each time with a bold heart. Gwendolyn still felt uneasy. She tightly wrapped her

arms around his neck, issuing a stern warning. “You better come back safe and sound. If you dare to return with

injuries again, you’ll have to go to the Jenson family ancestral hall and accept punishment from Logan. I’m serious!”

“As you wish.”

Cedrick stepped out. The gentle smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. He followed

Joshua to the inspection room.

Joshua pulled out the test report, “Cedrick, I can assure you that there are no viral factors in your body. Joe must

have deceived you.”
