The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 721 Charles Is Unhappy

Charles noticed her staring at him, and he ed hareyes

Cough Cough!

He proposely cleared his throat a couple of times,

Whitney got a fright and returned to her senses. She looked embarrassed, as if dlse was caught doin something

wrong

Her hand that was holding the cup of water could not help but tremble.

“I’m sorry!”

A droplet of water oozed out from Charles’ mouth and rolled all the way from his chin down to his throat and

collarbones

That sparkling water droplet moved according to his breathing, making him look even more sexy and enticing

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. Let me wipe it off for you.”

Whitney felt guilty and crazy. In fact, she felt like a horny beast.

Charles was already in that state. His handsome face was covered with bruises. Yet, she still let her fmagination run

wild while he had a drink of water.

The tips of her ears reddened completely. Out of panie, she grabbed a piece of tissue and began to wipe the water

off Charles

At the same time, she could feel the soft and warm skin of his neck.

She looked up and met those observant eyes of Charles. Once again. Whitney was embarrassed and quickly

retracted her hand.

“T-There. It’s gone now.”

Charles stared at her with those blue eyes of his. “From now on, you don’t have to do all these. We have

housekeepers at home. Treat the Newton residence as your own home and do as you please. I won’t interfere with

your activities during the day.”

Whitney looked down. “Manuel told me that I’m your personal maid. As your maid, I should look after you when you

are injured. Otherwise, the rest of the family will start to have their suspicions.”

Charles nearly forgot about that.

Previously, Jasmine had questioned him Back then, his relationship with Whitney was still unclear, so he old Its sister

that Whitney was his personal maid.

At present, they were married.

Even though the marriage was only to last for a year. Whimney was still his legal wife during this period

“That’s my bad. Our marriage happened too suddenly, and I had no time to inform my family After a buffer period,

I’ll disclose our marriage to my family News

Unloppy this maner Just leave home see. a

Since he was adamant, Whitney did not say anything die Insead she too

Charles needed to rest because both his left leg and right hand were broken. Hence, full Naco had to be postponed

to a week later

During those seven days, Charles really did not get down from the bed in order to achieve recovery

Whitney insisted on taking care of him. As his wife and personal maid in name, she had to do in Them was no

reason for Charles to turn her away.

Whimey cleaned him, fed him his meals and medications, and even relieved his boredom. She was a very caring

caregiver.

As such, there was a slight change in their relationship during this period.

One afternoon, the bedroom was quiet and peaceful after Whitney had fed Charles his medicine

She sat on the couch and looked at her phone, seemingly focused on something. There was a booklet on the coffee

table, and she began writing in it.

Charles was playing with his phone on the bed. Once in a while, he would glance at her When he saw how serious

and focused she was, he could not help but ask, “What are you writing?”

“I’m looking for a job. You’re aware that I lost my job, no?”

Charles stared at her and said, “I’m aware, but didn’t I tell you that you can continue to be the manager at the

oceanarium? As for the days when you threatened to quit, just treat it as your leave. Why don’t you go back

Whitney replied as she continued doing whatever she was doing. “Salinsburgh is an expensive city. After sending

some money back to Tayhaven, my salary is only enough to cover my daily expenses and rental There’s basically

nothing left. This won’t do I intend to find a job that allows me to earn money faster Once I have a certain amount

of money in hand, I can rent a shop in Salinsburgh and run a small business. This way, I can secure my footing in

the long run.”

Charles frowned when he heard that. In fact, his face darkened. “What kind of job do you intend to find Like the one

that got you into trouble at the bar the last timer Selling your body?

Whitey smiled sweetly before saying “Of course, I’m talking about being a sales representative. It will be best if I

can find a real estate company with high capital. That way, the commission will be very lucrative

With a grim expression. Charles complained. The commission may be high, but the basic salary is very low. You

have neither experience nor contacts For the first two years, you can only depend on your basic salary Even though

you’re staying at the Newton residence rent-free, your basic salary won’t even be sufficient to cover your daily

expenses

He cast a glance at his phone and continued. “I did say that I will provide you with a monthly allow that will be no

less than your salary. If you aren’t willing to spend the money, you can always save it. Onc year later, you will have

more than enough to rent a shop lot.”

Whitney shook her head. “That’s your money, Mr. Newton. I didn’t earn it. If I use it. I’ll feel goalry it. It’s better to

use money that I have earned through my own hard work. It’s more meanin

Charles frowned when he heard what she said

In this day and age, there are women who don’t want free money? about dat way

“Whitney, have you lost your mind? You don’t want free money? Then again. I won’t consider is free money. Now

that you have married me, my family will no longer nag me to get married. You have also taken care of me,

especially during the past few days. From now on. I’ll give you a hundred thousand every month as your

remuneration. It isn’t an allowance.”

A hundred thousand every month?

Whitney opened up the calculator app and began to calculate her monthly expenses.

If she kept a lid on her expenditure, she would be able to save more than a million in a years time. Also, if she found

herself a high-paying job, she might be able to save another two to three hundred thousand.

Her start-up capital would be secure.

“Since you say it’s my remuneration. I’ll gladly accept it. From now on. I’ll be your personal maid I’ll de whatever

you want me to do, Mr. Newton. Otherwise, I won’t feel good taking the money”

Charles burst out laughing.

He knew what she was thinking, but that did not annoy him. On the contrary, he found her adorable

“Fine. At least when I order you around, I’ll feel more at ease.” He chuckled and lifted up his left hand “Come and

give me a massage.”

“Please hold on for a while. Let me answer a call.”

With that, Whitney went to the balcony to answer her phone call.

Charles was speechless. How dare she say she will do whatever I want when she does something else second if she

really was a maid, she would be hauled to the ancestral hall for a beating

He was starting to get annoyed because his left arm was itching badly.

Unfortunately, his right arm was in a plaster cast. He had no choice but to wait for Whitney

After an excruciating diree minutes, Whitney came back to the room happily

She was darkfounded when she saw Charles darkened expression. He looked as if he wanted to eat her up alee “Mi

Newton, what’s wrong? Are you having campe? Should I call for the docto

Through gritted teeth, Charles said, “No need fun cote bew Cave me a massa Just and relieve my in
