Chapter 287


    Chapter 287 Jealous Cedrick Jenson Gwendolyn remained silent.


    Her expression was somber with worry.


    +15 Bonus Cedrick continued, “I’ve already been recovering at home for thest two weeks.


    People will start to get suspicious if I don’t get out soon.


    ” “All right, fine,” Gwendolyn said grudgingly.


    “You’re not allowed to drink any liquor during the party.


    If I find out you drank anything other than fruit juice, you’re never going to hear the end of it from me!”


    She red at him fiercely while letting out a cute snort.


    Cedrick threaded his long fingers through her silky raven hair and tilted her head slightly upward before


    bending down to kiss her gently.


    After a long, drawn–out kiss, he pressed his lips together and reveled in the sensation of her soft lips.


    “Neither juice nor wine tastes as sweet as you, Gwenny.


    ” Gwendolyn put his mask on him and hit his shoulder gently as she cooed, “What a flirt!” The two of


    them left the house amidst yful flirting.


    They then set out to the Ferguson residence in their ck Shelby Supercar.


    Eloise’s birthday party was scheduled to start at seven in the evening.


    Gwendolyn and Cedrick showed up half an hour carly.


    There weren’t that many guests around since the party hadn’t technically started yet.


    Eloise rolled her eyes at the sight of them holding hands before walking over with a falsely bright smile.


    “Hi, Ms. Harris! Aren’t you and Mr. Jenson early today!” Gwendolyn simply smiled in response.


    Cedrick, on the other hand, didn’t even nce at Eloise.


    His dark irises maintained their icy gaze under his mask, which added an extrayer of mystery to his


    appearance.


    Eloise was clearly ruffled at theck of a response and couldn’t be bothered to put on a front any


    longer.


    Turning away, she struck up a conversation with the socialites standing nearby.


    Sherman was sitting alone and had been broodily sipping at some liquor.


    When he heard that Gwendolyn had arrived, he was instantly delighted.


    However, she didn’y even look in his direction.


    After going through the formalities with Wyatt Ferguson and Emma Tovack, Sherman’s parents, she


    continued hanging around Cedrick as if they had been joined at the hip.


    Feeling upset, Sherman quickly approached and greeted her in an attempt to start a conversation.


    “Hi, Gwendolyn! Long time no see.


    How have you been?” Gwendolyn replied mildly, “Good evening, Mr. Ferguson.


    I’m well.


    ” Sherman visibly sagged with disappointment.


    “Why can’t you call me by my name like you used to? What happened between us?” Gwendolyn


    frowned at his usation.


    He was making it seem like they had been very close before, which 1/3 43% Chapter 287 Jealous


    Cedrick Jenson led her to wonder if he was purposely trying to agitate Cedrick.


    As expected, Cedrick’s gaze underneath the mask was starting to darken with anger.


    +15 Bonus Gwendolyn quickly reached out to straighten his cor and ran her fingertips across the


    back of his neck tenderly as she spoke to Sherman.


    “You must have misunderstood, Mr. Ferguson.


    We’ve always been friends and nothing more.


    Also, my fiancé is quite the jealous type.


    Please don’t say such misleading words that he might misunderstand.


    ” Cedrick finally seemed to cool down under herforting touch and reached out to wrap an arm


    around her slender waist.


    Sherman felt like he had been plunged into icy–cold waters.


    The persistent Maverick was gone, but an equally formidable opponent named Cedrick had appeared.


    He especially couldn’t believe that Gwendolyn had fallen for Cedrick so soon, even to the point of


    moving in with him.


    As someone who had been in love with Gwendolyn for over ten years, he had always thought he was


    her best match and the one who loved her the most.


    He couldn’t swallow the fact that he no longer stood a chance.


    “Gwendolyn, I have something I would like to say to you in private.


    I won’t bother you anymore after that.


    On behalf of our friendship, can you do that?” Gwendolyn turned him down without a second thought.


    “You should know that Mr. Jenson and I were recently on the news.


    We got crowned the sweetest engaged aristocratic couple.


    I believe that there will be several press members attending since Ms. Eloise has invited quite a few


    celebrities.


    It will be a hassle to exin things if any reporters catch sight of us, don’t you think? I think you should


    say anything you have to say here.


    There’s nothing I wouldn’t want Mr. Jenson to hear, anyway.


    ” At her words, Cedrick was slowly starting to be less agitated.

    He interlocked his and Gwendolyn’s fingers tightly.


    The two of them nced at each other, smiling so sweetly it would have given anyone a cavity, The


    sight severely ticked off Sherman.


    “I wasn’t afraid to go against the Jenson family for you, Gwendolyn.


    Did you know that every single woman that Old Mr. Jenson finds for Cedrick ends up beaten and has to


    be carried out while covered in injuries? He’s violent and treats women like punching bags.


    There are countless rumors about him torturing women for fun.


    He may be pretending to be nice now, or he may also just be worried about the Harris family’s


    reputation.


    Either way, if you marry him, your life will be a living hell! I’ve known you since we were kids.


    I wouldn’t hurt you.


    ” Cedrick remained expressionless despite everything Sherman had been spouting about him.


    However, he was a little bit curious about how quiet Gwendolyn had been about the rumors despite his


    apparent notoriety.


    Both men looked at Gwendolyn, who chuckled gracefully.


    “At the end of the day, they’re rumors, after all.


    You really shouldn’t be so gullible, Mr. Ferguson.


    Besides, knowing Mr. Jenson, he might have spread those rumors deliberately to protect himself from


    anyone with bad intentions.


    I’m sure I’m the only woman for him, anyway.


    ” 2/8 15:30 Fd 2Jun Chapter 287 Jealous Cedrick Jenson Sherman’s expression soured.


    He had been rendered speechless by Gwendolyn’s smooth rebuttal.


    +15 Bonus She politely said, “The party is almost starting.


    I’d like to have a little private time with Mr. Jenson before it begins.


    See youter.


    ” She walked away with Cedrick hand–in–hand and left Sherman standing there lookingpletely


    beaten down.


    Eloise looked at Sherman with pity from a balcony on the second floor.


    Her gaze was tinged with hatred as she turned to look at Gwendolyn’s retreating figure.


    “B*tch!” she hissed.


    Evelyn was standing right next to her with a perfectly made–up face.


    She patted Eloise on the shoulder gently as she looked at Cedrick and Gwendolyn as well.


    An ambiguous smile was beginning to form on her lips.


    “Don’t worry.


    You have a lot of events lined up forter.


    Take a deep breath and calm down.


    ” Gwendolyn and Cedrick were walking around the vinguidly.


    Suddenly, Cedrick asked, “Gwenny, do you really have that much faith in me? Aren’t you afraid that I


    really did do all those cruel things to other women in the six months before we reunited?” Since there


    was no one around them, Gwendolyn pinched his ear tightly as she said coldly, “So, you’ve thought


    about it before, have you?” “Ouch! No, I’m just kidding! Watch out for cameras.


    Tomorrow’s headlines are going to be about you abusing me,” Cedrick wailed.


    Despite his supposedints, he had naturally leaned down so that Gwendolyn wouldn’t have to


    keep stretching her arm.


    Gwendolyn let go with a smile and gently massaged his ear.


    “If it really does get on the news, then you’re going to have to admit how much you love and listen to


    me.


    I don’t think I’m getting the short end of the stick.


    ” Cedrick retorted, “No way! I’ll make sure to get revenge if that happens.


    ” “Nice try,” Gwendolyn said with a sassy eye roll.


    She knew what he meant by ‘revenge‘ and began walking further ahead.


    Cedrick immediately caught up with her and held her hand tightly as if he were afraid that he would


    lose her.


    Even though Gwendolyn didn’t ask about the rumors, Cedrick still felt the need to exin as they


    continued strolling.


    “Well, Grandpa did send a woman right into my bed once.


    I made Nico dress up like a ghost and scare her.


    She fainted and had to be carried out on a stretcher, which is where the rumors came from.


    Yael purposely spread them in an attempt to ruin my reputation.


    However, as all rumors do, they grew more exaggerated as they spread further.


    ” The two of them were in the middle of their conversation when Papilio Girls‘ assistant suddenly


    appeared.


    “Ms. Harris! I’ve been looking for you.


    Something happened to Jennifer and the girls backstage.


    Pleasee with me!” 粉粒
