Chapter 629 Clearing The Area
Gwendolyn observed the ongoing dispute between the two and sighed in resignation. “How about this?
Why don’t you two settle it with a fight? Whoever wins will have their viewpoint acknowledged and
followed.
A fight? No way.
Kieran sighed, shooting his sister a reproachful look. “I could never bring myself to bully her. All I can
do is submit defeat and let her beat me up!”
“Then you should just let her do so! After all, it was your fault for saying what you shouldn’t have. Just
let her hit you to vent her anger.”
Heeding his sister’s words, Kieran gracefully inclined his body and drew his face closer to Inez. “It was
my fault for upsetting you with my poor choice of words. If it helps you feel better, go ahead and hit
me.”
Inez looked at the handsome face mere inches away from hers, finding it hard to bring herself to hit
him. She hesitated for a moment, but the lingering frustration within her demanded some form of
release.
In the end, she pinched the man’s cheek indignantly and said, “You should really pay Mr. Jenson for
some lessons on emotional intelligence, Mr. Kieran, Inez suggested, her words carrying a subtle hint of
jest and exasperation.
“Understood,” he said submissively.
As Inez’s anger dissipated, she released her grip on his cheek.
A faint reddish mark lingered on his initially pale skin, surprising her and stirring a tinge of regret within
her.
“Does it hurt? I didn’t use much force, yet it turned red.
A grin tugged at the corner of Kieran’s lips as he stated, “It’s because my skin is rather delicate.”
Just as he was about to speak honestly and im it didn’t hurt, Cedrick leaned in unexpectedly,
whispering
something into his ear. The words that had been on the tip of Kieran’s tongue were abruptly swallowed
back.
“It hurts, it really does,” he said instead.
Feeling sorry for the man, Inez tenderly caressed his cheek with the palm of her hand, offering a gentle
massage to alleviate his difort.
Kieran gripped her delicate hand, and following Cedrick’s guidance, bit the bullet and said. “The more
you rub, the redder it bes. If you’re willing to give it a kiss, I’m sure the pain will vanish.” He tried
so hard to sound natural as she said that.
Inez was taken aback, her face instantly flushing red. In the presence of Gwendolyn and Cedrick, she
found it hard to disy her affection. “There are people watching. It’s embarrassing,” she stammered.
feeling a sense of self-consciousness.
In response, Gwendolyn shook her head. “We didn’t see a thing
As Inez turned her head to listen to Gwendolyn, Kieran bent down once more, bringing his face closer
and silently requesting a kiss,
The fiery blush on his earlobes served as a testament to his inner shyness, hidden beneath a
seemingly confident exterior.
Unable to resist, Inez leaned in and swiftly nted a kiss on his face.
At that very moment, Cedrick enveloped his wife’s slender waist with his arm, boldly bringing his lips to
hers, sealing the moment with a passionate kiss,
Inez and Kieran did not see a thing since it happened simultaneously.
However, Gwendolyn’s heart raced faster as a result.
Being stolen a kiss like that… it’s quite exhrating. Cedrick certainly knows how to make a move!
Behind them, there were plenty of attractive men and women in the pool.
The men’s eyes were fixed on Gwendolyn and Inez, while the women couldn’t help but admire Kieran
and Cedrick’s well-built physiques.
The gaze of the entire group remained fixated on them, unable to be diverted elsewhere as if
captivated by their presence.
Cedrick gathered the towel around Gwendolyn’s body, annoyed by the intrusive gazes around them,
“Gwenny, I don’t want those prying eyes to see your captivating allure in the water. Perhaps I should
clear the ce out.”
Gwendolyn was momentarily taken aback. “This is Turlen, not Chanaea. It’s best not to be too arrogant.
If needed, we can always move to the smaller pool nearby, she suggested, offering a practical
alternative.
The man did not respond but merely fished out his phone and beganposing a text message.
“What are you up to? Are you really nning to clear the area?”
As Gwendolyn leaned in to take a look, he had just hit the send button and locked his phone.
“I’m not even allowed to read the message?” Gwendolyn asked.
Wearing a tender smile on his countenance, Cedrick gracefully scooped the woman up and settled her
on afortable lounge chair.
He promptly requested a waiter to bring a refreshing ss of juice and a tter of freshly cut chilled
fruits. Taking a seat by her side, he attentively served her, tending to her every need.
“All you need to do is wait for ten minutes. It will be over before you know it, Gwenny, he assured her.
The man executed a graceful sequence of movements as if part of a choreographed dance,
His actions flowed with natural ease, leaving both Kieran and Inez momentarily speechless.
“Mr. Jenson is undoubtedly a seasoned expert in matters of the heart. Witnessing the proficiency with
which he dotes on his wife, it’s no wonder that Gwendolyn finds him irresistible. Few women in this
world can withstand the charm of such a remarkable and devoted husband,” Inez remarked.
Kieran discerned a hint of envy in her voice.
The indomitable spirit within the manpelled him to gently grasp Inez’s hand and affirm, “In due
time, you will also find yourself with a remarkable husband, possessing all the qualities of an
exceptional partner.”
Kieran guided her to a lounge chair, ensuring herfort before assuming his position beside her. He
then delicately peeled grapes, mirroring Cedrick’s attentiveness to his beloved while asionally
stealing nces at the other couple.
As Inez observed his clumsy yet earnest gestures, she was enraptured by the genuine sincerity with
which Kieran treated her. It was a moment that touched her deeply, and her heart brimmed with a
profound sense of appreciation and affection for the man beside her.
Indeed, he had resolved to learn how to properly pamper his significant other.
Seizing the opportunity while Kieran was focused on peeling the grapes, she leaned forward and
nted a gentle kiss on his forehead.
“Mr. Kieran, you know, I feel like… I can’t wait a whole year anymore. This trip has made me realize
that I want to…” Take our rtionship to the next level when we return.
Kieran interrupted her before she couldplete the rest of her sentence. His gaze fixed on her in
astonishment as he uttered righteously, “I’m sorry, but that’s not an option. We made a pact that I would
pursue you for a year, and I can’t back down now. It’s important for me to keep my word and show you
that I’m a man of integrity. The same goes for you. You promised me a chance, and I intend to honor
that.”
Inez’s enthusiasm was instantly deted, and a look of frustration crossed her face.
“You…” Can’t you see the sincerity dripping from my words? Is it that difficult to consider advancing our
rtionship Can’t we fast-track this rtionship upgrade?
s, Kieran had misunderstood Inez’s intentions, thinking she was dissatisfied with his recent
performance and wouldn’t let him pursue her anymore, abandoning him altogether.
“A promise is a promise. You can’t go back on your word now, Inez. We agreed on a year of pursuit,
and not a day less. I intend to make the most of this time,” said the man.
Thereafter, he sheepishly extended the peel grape toward her, “It’s sweet. Why don’t you give it a try.
Inez?”
Inez felt a surge of exasperation as if her breath had been caught in her chest.
“No, thank you. Please go ahead and enjoy the grapes on your own, Mr. Kieran. Grapes are beneficial
for
the mind!”
Upon finishing her sentence, Inez brushed his hand away and turned around, pouting as shey on the
lounge chair. With closed eyes, she feigned sleep, clearly expressing her displeasure.
“Inez?” Kieran looked puzzled but quickly sensed that something was amiss with her demeanor. “Why
are you upset? Is it because you don’t like grapes?”
The man’s obliviousness left her speechless.
In contrast to the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, Cedrick and Gwendolyn were in
perfect harmony.
However, after she swallowed the fifth piece of watermelon, Cedrick set the fruit tter aside, signaling
an end to their yful feeding ritual.
“Eating too much cold food isn’t good for the stomach. Let’s take a break from eating chilled foods,
Gwenny, and give your stomach some time to rest,” he said.
“All right. Hubby, do you happen to have any massage services avable?”

Gwendolyn shifted her position,zily resting on the lounge chair. She gracefully swept her long hair to
one side, exposing the beautiful curve of her back. It was a subtle indication, suggesting that Cedrick
could offer her a soothing back massage.
Cedrick’s gaze lingered on her, the desire burning in his eyes bing more intense with each
passing
moment.
In this posture, her body was captivating, with every inch of her skin exuding an irresistible charm,
especially her beautifully sculpted backside.
The pool area ham’t been cleared yet. Why is she lying down already?
Cedrick frowned, almost tempted to give her a yful swat on her behind, just to remind her of the
boundaries of wearing a swimsuit in public.
Just as he was grinding his teeth in contemtion, Gwendolyn’s voice reached his ears. “Well? What
are you waiting for?”
“All right, all right. Here Ie.”
In an instant, Cedrick snapped out of his wandering thoughts and discreetly grabbed a towel, carefully
covering Gwendolyn’s waist and below. He made sure to wrap her up securely before asserting with
confidence, “We wouldn’t want you catching a cold, Darling”
Confused, Gwendolyn felt the warmth radiating from the ground and shifted her gaze toward the
zing sunset in the distance.
