Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 502 Punishment For Breaking The Family Rules

“Understood. Don’t worry, Cedrick.”

After returning together to the Jenson residence, they parted ways in the back alleys.

Nico made his way back to his own villa. Summer had probably prepared dinner already and was waiting for him to

return home.

Cedrick returned to Harrick Villa. He had already made it a habit to prepare a warm meal before Gwendolyn

arrived home, so they could enjoy it together.

Gwendolyn was busy managing matters at Harris Group and helping Treyton care for Jennifer.

Knowing the specific poison that Jennifer had succumbed to, the laboratory could tailor the treatment more

effectively. However, the healing process would be lengthy since it was a neural condition.

Gwendolyn returned home half an hour later.

Cedrick, who was mindful of the time, had just placed the final dish on the table.

The couple enjoyed dinner together happily.

-Before bedtime, Cedrick went to the bathroom for a shower.

When Gwendolyn noticed his shirt that was carelessly tossed in the corner of the bed, she walked over to place it in

the laundry basket for him.

However, as she picked up the shirt, a faint and unfamiliar scent wafted into her nostrils.

It was the smell of cigarette.

She was a non-smoker. For her children’s health, she had explicitly forbidden Cedrick from smoking. Hence, she

was very sensitive to the smell of cigarettes.

Did Cedrick smoke behind my back today?

The sound of water in the bathroom eased. Cedrick emerged from the bathroom with a white towel draped around

his waist. He raised his muscular arms and gently wiped his hair as he walked out.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was extremely chilly.

Confused, he turned around and found Gwendolyn seated on the edge of the bed. Grasping the shirt that he had

just taken off, she sat there in silent fury.

“Darling?” he called out cautiously.

Gwendolyn lifted the shirt with her fingers and demanded, “Care to explain this?”

Cedrick remained puzzled. “Explain what?”

“Still putting up an act, huh? Are you lying to me?”

She spun around and grabbed the ruler on the bedside table.

It had been ages since she last used it. As she held it in her palm, she noticed that it was quite heavy.

Cedrick’s breath hitched. She even took out the ruler. What did I do wrong?

Left with no time to think, he flung the towel onto the table and strode toward Gwendolyn. He unwrapped the towel

that was tied tightly around his waist and knelt on the bed, naked.

A chillgust of air brushed against him, causing a slight shiver. Feeling a tinge of embarrassment, he hastily covered

himself with the towel again. A sincere look crossed his face.

“Darling. I’ve been good the entire day. I didn’t do anything wrong, nor did I lie to you. Don’t frame me for

something I didn’t do!”

Gwendolyn sat cross-legged on the bed in front of him. She pointed at his arm, gesturing for him to extend it.

“There isn’t anything wrong with my sense of smell. I’m not framing you. If you can’t remember, let the pain jog

your memory.”

Trying his best to understand what she was trying to say, Cedrick stretched out his arm slowly.

Gwendolyn’s eyes blazed with anger as she brandished the ruler.

Before it descended, Cedrick swiftly retracted his hand. “I remember now. Are you saying that you smell cigarette

smoke on me?”

Gwendolyn’s lips curled into a scornful smirk. “It seems like your mind is still functional. Your fear of the punishment

is making you think quickly.”

Cedrick furrowed his brow, feeling wronged. “Darling, 1 felt really frustrated from the investigation today. so I lit a

cigarette out of habit. However, I didn’t even take a single puff. I passed it to Nico and instructed him to smoke in a

corner. Perhaps, the smell of smoke clung to me because we were in the same room. Trust me, Darling. I’m not

lying to you.”

Gwendolyn’s stern countenance remained unyielding. She was quick to detect the loophole in his explanation.

“So, you willingly lit the cigarette. However, your conscience kicked in at the most critical moment. Afraid that I’ll

find out, you gave the cigarette to Nico, right?”

Cedrick was at a loss for words. So this is the notorious reasoning that women have!

He frowned even further as a wave of indignance swept over him. He stretched his hands out toward her sulkily.

“Well, if you think that I’m wrong, punish me harshly. In fact, just break my hands so that I can’t even hold a pen or

a fork. That way, everyone in the Federal Bureau of Investigation would find out tomorrow that I’ve been punished.”

Gwendolyn raised an eyebrow. She used the end of the ruler to lift his sharp chin. “It looks like aren’t even

apologetic. How dare you threaten me?”

After learning the truth, she had only intended to tease him, not actually punish him. She did not expect him to take

it seriously.

Cedrick suppressed the gloomy look in his eyes. “I wouldn’t dare to do that. If my wife says I’m wrong, then I am

truly wrong.”

She stifled a laugh, her gaze shifting from his handsome face to his body covered beneath the towel.

Mischievous thoughts started brewing in her mind as the used the ruler to flick the towel away.

“Why cover up? I’ve seen every inch of your body”

Cedrick lowered his gaze, his face slightly flushed.

As he had just finished showering, he was completely naked. Now that she was staring at him unabashedly while

being fully clothed, he felt a bit embarrassed.

Usually, he was the one seducing her. Since it was rare for Gwendolyn to witness him feeling so shy, a teasing look

appeared in her eyes.

She raised the ruler.

With a soft smack, a faint pink mark surfaced on Cedrick’s thigh.

She poked it with the ruler and smirked playfully. “How does it feel? Enjoyable?”

Judging from her expression and tone, Cedrick knew that she wasn’t angry.

He replied compliantly. “Since it’s a gift from my wife, I’m naturally happy.”

Gwendolyn smiled and tossed the ruler back onto the bedside table.

Seeing that she had put it aside, Cedrick was about to retract his hand when Gwendolyn reacted swiftly. She quickly

tied his hands together with his shirt and pushed him down.

She pounced on him, her eyes gleaming with a cunning look. It was as if she was looking at disobedient.

prey.

She pinned his hands over his head and held his chin.

“Since you’ve violated the family rules and been so disobedient, you deserve to be punished.”

Cedrick nodded. “I agree.”

Gwendolyn chuckled lightly and continued, “Well, I see that you’ve come to your senses and corrected yourself in

time. Nevertheless, I’ll give you the harshest punishment tonight!”

Cedrick sighed silently and looked down in resignation. “I accept it.”

She suppressed her laughter. “Good. Since you’re being obedient, I’ll be forceful with you tonight. I want to be on

top.

Cedrick woke up the next day feeling refreshed and invigorated, relishing the previous night.

He glanced at Gwendolyn, who was still asleep and exhausted. He bent down carefully and kissed her forehead.

After savoring the sweet kiss, he quickly got out of bed and freshened up. Then, he changed his clothes.

and left Harrick Villa.

Nico, making an effort to keep up with his pace, arrived at the Jenson residence’s garage at the same time

as him.

Once Cedrick was inside the car, the look in his eyes resumed their normal coldness and sternness.

“To the Newton residence.”

After half an hour, the luxurious car finally pulled up at the entrance of the Newton residence.

Cedrick was not wearing his military uniform. Instead, he was conducting the investigation in his casual

attire.

Neville’s well-trained soldiers were standing beside the door orderly, having been waiting there for quite some time.

Cedrick strode forward with his gaze fixed ahead. He instructed, “Search every room in the Newton residence.

Leave no corner untouched, especially the top floor, Craig’s room, and Charles’ room.

“Understood”.

Without wasting a moment, the team swiftly entered the Newton mansion and started searching carefully.

Nico, still feeling worried, decided to join the search on the top floor.

Following Nico’s instructions, Karl gathered all the housekeepers and guards in the garden so that they would not

disrupt the investigation.

After an intense search that lasted for over ten minutes, Nico returned ahead of the others.

He approached Cedrick with a solemn expression. Leaning in close, he whispered, “Cedrick, we can’t even find a

single suspicious iron chain or shackle on the top floor. It looks like Craig had already cleaned up the scene

beforehand. I’m afraid we might have to go back without finding out anything. There isn’t any progress.”
