Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 280 She Loved It When He Was Vulnerable

Gwendolyn widened her eyes in shock.

For a sick man like Cedrick, his mind was incredibly sharp.

As Gwendolyn allowed him to lead her back to the master bedroom, she pondered on how to deal with

him.

As soon as they sat down on the edge of the bed, he leaned closer to her and extended his bony fingers toward her

to unzip her jeans.

Staring at him in disbelief, she asked, “Are you planning on undressing me completely to examine my injuries?”

“What do you think? I have to check your calves, thighs, and butt.”

He would not be at ease until he personally confirmed that she was unharmed!

Clutching her pants firmly, Gwendolyn moved her backside away from Cedrick, keeping a distance.

Then, she mustered up her courage and glared at him accusingly. “Cedrick, you pervert! I don’t believe for a

second that you simply want to examine my injuries. I can’t believe you’re not behaving yourself even when you’re

sick!”

On the contrary, Cedrick actually didn’t have other thoughts because his mind was solely focused on whether she

had been hurt when she went back.

“No, it’s not what you think. Besides, I’ve seen every part of your body. What’s wrong with letting me take a look?

Are you feeling guilty about something?” he retorted.

Gwendolyn furrowed her eyebrows. Seems like he’s not going to let this rest until I let him check me.

She bit her lower lip as her eyes filled with resentment, as though his words had hurt her.

“I have nothing to be guilty of! I told you, Asher didn’t make things difficult for me. I can’t believe that you don’t

trust me!”

Gwendolyn’s anger intensified as she argued. In retaliation, she pushed him down onto the bed, straddled his body,

and pinned down his wrists, rendering him unable to move.

Honestly, she quite enjoyed Cedrick in his vulnerable state. He was easy for her to overpower, which made it fun to

tease and bully him.

It allowed her to gain the upper hand instantly.

“How audacious of you to question me! Is your trust in me so fragile? Think about what happened yesterday when

you said so many hurtful words to me. I didn’t leave you out of spite because I believed in you, didn’t I? But what

about you? How dare you suspect me of lying over such a small matter?”

Cedrick was startled by her beratement. If there was any color remaining on his already pale face previously, it

drained away now.

He just didn’t trust Asher.

However, he couldn’t bear to look at Gwendolyn’s wounded expression and listen to her questioning tone.

He felt guilty, especially after yesterday’s incident. Stunned by her rebuttal, he no longer knew how to explain his

insistence on checking her injuries as his train of thought was completely derailed by her

words.

Unable to argue back, he could only purse his lips and pout. His eyelashes quivered as his head hung weakly.

Gwendolyn moved her slender fingers onto his pale face to soothe his sorrow.

Suppressing the urge to laugh, she spoke in a serious tone. “I’m a forgiving person. If you admit your mistakes, I will

reward you with kisses. But if you refuse to acknowledge your wrongdoing, I will punish you accordingly. So, have

you realized your mistake, Ceddy?”

“Yes, I was wrong,” Cedrick replied in an aggrieved manner.

“How so?”

“I doubted you instead of trusting you.”

“Are you still going to take off my pants?”

Cedrick shook his head obediently.

“Good boy.”

Gwendolyn was satisfied. Despite appearing calm on the outside, she was laughing hysterically on the inside.

It’s so fun bullying Ceddy when he’s sick! Gwendolyn loved it.

Then, fulfilling her promise to him just now, she leaned down and kissed his lips.

Their tongues entwined in a passionate kiss.

Unable to resist, Cedrick could feel himself becoming lost in her kiss.

His mind was clouded by her presence, and he couldn’t think straight and figure out whether he was being

manipulated.

As his breathing grew more rapid, he felt aroused.

However, just as his hands began to wander, Gwendolyn promptly ended the kiss before he could go any further.

“Gwenny…”

Cedrick felt unsatisfied.

He wanted her right now, but she wouldn’t allow him to.

What an awful feeling!

Gwendolyn could tell what he was thinking from his gaze. “No! This is for your health. Once you’re better, you can

do whatever you want.”

Cedrick lowered his gaze and didn’t reply.

I will never get better, will I? Does it mean that I have to live the rest of my life in abstinence?

“I’d rather you let me indulge in bodily pleasures before I die. At least that way, I can die of bliss.” Otherwise, I will

have to suffer from abstinence!

Gwendolyn’s expression suddenly turned serious as she pinched Cedrick’s cheeks, though without applying much

force. “You’re not allowed to mention anything about death from now on! As long as I’m here, you’re not allowed to

give up hope. Do you understand me?” she said sternly.

“Okay…” Cedrick replied half–heartedly because he knew his body’s condition most clearly. However, he didn’t want

Gwendolyn to worry about him.

Sensing the lack of sincerity in his voice, she pinched his face harder. “I didn’t hear you clearly. Louder!”

“Okay.”

Only then did Gwendolyn let go of his cheeks before rubbing them gently.

Her mind drifted away as she recalled her earlier encounter with Charles.

While she was unsure of the truthfulness of his words, it was the only breakthrough she had so far. She had no

other option than to believe Charles, at least for now.

However, if he was telling the truth, should I agree to his remaining two conditions?

The more she thought about it, the more complicated she found the situation to be.

Cupping his face with her hands, she spoke seriously, hoping that it could avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings

between her and Cedrick in the future. “Ceddy, we should trust each other the most. -So, from now on, you have to

trust me unconditionally no matter what happens. Believe in my feelings

for you. Can you promise me that?”

Cedrick nodded without hesitation as he locked eyes with her. “I promise.”

Smiling contentedly, she pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Have you taken your medicine tonight?”

Cedrick immediately frowned as he shook his head.

“Be good. Wait for me.”

Gwendolyn disengaged herself from him and got down from the bed. Then, she left the room.

A minute later, she returned with a glass of warm water and Cedrick’s box of medicine.

Cedrick’s eyes darkened. As he watched Gwendolyn popping out more than a dozen colorful pills, the corner of his

mouth twitched with disdain. xo.com fast update

He didn’t like the bitter taste of the medicines, not to mention that they didn’t help much anyway.

“I’m still full and don’t feel like drinking water. How about I eat my medicine later?”

Recognizing his intention to avoid taking the medicine, Gwendolyn stood her ground and extended her hand

forward. With a determined look in her eyes, she coaxed, “Be good and take the medicine.”

Cedrick shook his head and encircled her waist, nuzzling against her chest as he murmured, “I really don’t

want to take them…”

Gwendolyn felt frustrated because Cedrick was disregarding his own health and acting like a child.

“You have to eat them!” Gwendolyn warned sternly.

Cedrick tightened his arms around her waist upon hearing that.

Having been scolded, he lifted his face and stared at her with woeful eyes. His complexion was pale and feeble,

which made him look more vulnerable than ever.

Gwendolyn sighed.

She seemed to be far less skillful in acting pitiful when compared to Cedrick.

Gwendolyn closed her eyes and took a deep breath to suppress the urge to tie him up and stuff the pills into his

mouth.

She had to keep reminding herself that he was a patient now.

Be gentle! Be patient! Let him have his way!

Smiling, she calmed herself down and asked, “How can I get you to take your medicine then, Ceddy?”

Cedrick thought about it for a while. Then, pinning her with an innocent gaze, he replied, “I want you to feed me.”

“Okay, I’m fine with that. Come, I’ll feed you. Let’s start by having a sip of water first.”

However, frowning and shaking his head, Cedrick dodged to the side and refused to drink the water she offered

him.

Gwendolyn gripped the glass tightly and reminded herself again. Patience!

“Still not eating? How do you want me to feed you then?”

Cedrick’s lips curled up in a wicked smile as he replied, “You’re not being sincere. Feed me with your mouth.”

What?
