Wooing My Ex-Wife Novel novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552 You Should Feel Guilty Instead 

It was Jennifer’s first time seeing Treyton in such a crestfallen state since she regained consciousness. 

Recalling that she was indeed at fault in the matter, she gentled her tone. “Never mind, I’ll forgive you this once. I was wrong to secretly leave without informing you today, making you worry. I apologize.” 

Following her apology. Treyton forced a smile. “What a good girl, Jennifer. You can’t do it again next time. Take two bodyguards with you and text me, okay?” 

Jennifer said nothing. 

If I were to take two bodyguards with me, they’d dog my every step, and there’d always been two pairs of eyes watching me. Such a feeling is awful, making me uneasy all over. 

Nonetheless, she relented upon glimpsing the man’s eyes that dimmed once more. “I’ll definitely text you and inform you about where I’m going. But as for the bodyguards… can that depend on the situation? In an instance like today whereby I went gaming with Gwendolyn, I’d be perturbed to have two people watching at the side.” 

In other words, she conceded to one of the requests and declined the other. 

That would necessitate them both compromising. 

To Treyton, he was already satisfied that she agreed to text him. “Okay, whatever you say, Jennifer.” 

When they had reached a consensus, Jennifer remained standing at the side. She felt somewhat unsettled by his intent stare. 

Remembering the matter they had yet to do that night, she cautiously asked, “Are you still going to test me tonight, Mr. Treyton?” 

Treyton held her gaze. Clocking the discomfiture and trepidation in her eyes, he countered. “Do you want me to do so, Jennifer?” 

Jennifer wavered for a moment before ultimately choosing to speak her mind. “I hadn’t been in the mood the entire day, so I wasn’t concentrating much when I studied. Little stuck to my mind. If you were to test me, I’d undoubtedly flop.” 

All of a sudden, Treyton recalled Gwendolyn saying that Jennifer’s academic foundation was weak and urging him to be more patient. 

Thus, he understandingly pulled her over to him. 

“Then, I won’t test you tonight. Consider it as your day off, Jennifer.” 

Hearing that, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a heavy weight had been lifted off her. She beamed at him. “Thank you, Mr. Treyton. I’ll try my best to memorize everything tomorrow.” 

Treyton turned the matter over in his mind briefly. “How about this? Starting tomorrow, I won’t test you right upon returning home from work at night. I’ll tutor you for half an hour before doing so. What do you think?” 

“You already have your plate full in the morning, Mr. Treyton. Would it be too tiring for you to tutor me in my graduate studies when you come home at night?” 

Treyton held her hands tightly. “If you feel bad that I’m too tiring myself out, don’t resist sleeping on the same bed with me at night. Let me hug you and have a restful sleep every night. Is that okay?” 

Uh… 

From Jennifer’s perspective, it had only been a little over a month since she regained consciousness. That was to say that she had only been acquainted with the man for the same amount of time. 

Hence, he was considered a friend she did not know that well. 

Never mind that I’m living under the same roof with him despite only having known him for a handful of days, but he even wants to hug me to sleep every night now. The mere thought of it is strange and gives me goosebumps! 

Although Treyton was incredibly handsome, and she was irrefutably tempted in the face of a perfect specimen of a man right before her, she could not get over the fact that they were practically strangers. 

At her prolonged silence, Treyton knew that she was opposed to the idea inwardly. Smiling bitterly, he coaxed, “Sorry, that was overly presumptuous of me. I asked for too much, too fast. Never mind if you don’t want it. Forget I ever said that.” 

Jennifer swiftly went along with it. “Thank you, Mr. Treyton. I’m truly grateful. I’ll definitely repay your kindness to me when I’m financially independent.” 

That startled Treyton. 

Does she mean repaying me with money? How could I possibly be strapped for cash when I hold half of the entertainment industry in the palm of my hand and am a son of the Harris family, the wealthiest family in the city? 

“Forget about repaying me with money, Jennifer. I much prefer…” You repaying me with your body. 

He did not finish his utterance, merely fantasizing about it fleetingly for fear of scaring her. 

“All right, it’s late now. Shall we wash up and sleep?” 

It was the middle of the night, but sounds of a fight drifted out of the basement in Harrick Villa ceaselessly. 

Cedrick and Gwendolyn had dueled for no less than fifty or sixty rounds. 

More than an hour passed, and they were both close to being drained of all energy before Gwendolyn finally crashed out in exhaustion. 

With sweat coating his entire body, Cedrick lay flat on the ground, his chest heaving violently. 

Shifting his gaze to Gwendolyn, who lay sleeping beside him with her hand in his, he griped in vexation, “This amount of physical exercise is even more draining than the workout throughout the night previously. Sure enough, my wife tortures me in all aspects.” 

After resting for a few minutes, he scooped her up and left the basement, going to the bathroom to

shower. 

Then, he repeated the same routine he had been following the past few days, 

That was already the best solution at present, and he was elated deep within. 

For the following two days, the couple went with the same pattern. 

It had about become their way of life. 

As they knew that Gwendolyn might have manic episodes at night and moving into the basement could resolve that issue perfectly, they went to Valentino’s villa together and brought Benedict and Zendaya back to Harrick Villa. 

Other than Gwendolyn’s manic episodes at night, their life was seemingly back on track. 

In the afternoon, Gwendolyn went to Harris Group to work as usual. 

Mere moments after she had taken a seat in the CEO’s office, she heard a commotion outside the door. 

Ignoring it, she turned on her computer and prepared to devote herself to work. 

Alas, the person outside the door seemed determined to give her no opportunity to avoid a meeting.
