Chapter 192 With an awkward chuckle, Selina said, "Is this your r usual tactio?" "What?" Gwendolyn furrowed her brows.
Selina steadied her voice as she spoke, "Nothing much. I just upsel Howie tonight, thought I'd call to apologize. There's been too many misunderstandings between us, and I know it's only natural he doesn't want to see me." Gwendolyn stayed allent, offering no comment.
"Gwendolyn, do you think he loves you?" Selina asked, "Or are you two together because of the bonds of matrimony, or does he truly love you?" Selina let out a soft laugh, "Howard's such a catch. Even though he's married, women flock to him like moths to a name. Do you think you can keep him?" Gwendolyn disliked the tone in her voice and said, “Call him after he's done with his shower.

"Right, you didn't want to look," he said with a smirk, "Then helpdry off my back." He handed her a soft, dry towel.
Gwendolyn clutched the towel and slowly moved behind him, gently drying his back. She had done this sort of thing plenty of times before.
This time, she wasn't too embarrassed to function.
"Mr. Chadwick, Ms. Hamilton called for you, she managed to say.
"What did she say?" Howard asked coldly.
"She regretted showing up tonight and upsetting you," Gwendolyn repeated Selina's words.
Howard had no reaction.
"Do you want to call her back?" Gwendolyn peered up at him.
"Do you wantto return the call?" Howard turned around, his pale chest muscles directly in her line of sight.
Gwendolyn found it quite blinding.
"What if she needs you?" she reluctantly said, even though women sometimes said the opposite of what they feel.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "Your right hand isn't healed yet, letdo the scrubbing." Without room for refusal, he pulled her into the bathroom..

He stroked his grizzled beard and said, "Nothing too serious, just need stto recover. Thave a visitor today, someone you know from Elixir Emporium."
Gwendolyn asked curiously, "You're friends with the owner of ElixÍP M Emporium? "Indeed. Next tyou buy herba from him, you'll get a discount." "That's great" The prospect of a discount brought a smile to Gwendolyn Every penny saved is a penny camed.
"Gwendolyn!" Jeannie's voice echoed from the staircase Gwendolyn stood up and buried out, puzzled, "What brings you here so early?" "Gwendole, fm gonna escort you to work!" Jeannie jutted her chin up with a mix of pride and defiance
She had gotten word from Nathan last night and was determined ton shield Gwendolyn from any of Selina's cunning schemes Gwendolyn couldn't help but chuckle.
