Chapter 413


    Asher turned around and shed him a curious nce without saying anything.


    Having recalled what Cedrick had told him via text earlier, Nico continued, “Gwendolyn is a fair person.


    Evelyn has hurt her countless times, so she deserves the punishment that she receives. You shouldn’t


    havee to beg Gwendolyn to spare her.”


    Beg Gwendolyn to spare her?


    Asher’s expression slid into a frown. “The fact that she didn’t manage to kill Evelyn is good enough for


    me. She deserves the punishment she receives, so I am not here to beg for mercy.”


    Having stood out there in the freezing rain all night, his voice sounded somewhat hoarse.


    Surprised that Asher had thought things through, Nico said after a brief pause, “Evelyn was sent to a


    farmhouse in the countryside. Afterpleting some hardbor during the day, she would be whipped


    ten times before being forced to recite the Heagurn Sutra. She would not be allowed to rest until she


    finishes reciting it. I think that scripture is suitable for those who need to repent. What do you think, Mr.


    Asher?”


    It didn’t take Asher long to understand what Nico was trying to say. “Did Cedrick send you? I know I


    messed up big time, so I’m grateful that he is there to help Gwenny build up Harris Group.”


    Asher then turned around and left the Jenson residence after saying that.


    As his legs were numb from all that standing, he struggled a little when walking away.


    Nico let out a silent sigh as he watched Asher leave. I just hope he gets the message so Cedrick’s


    advice won’t go to waste.


    He was snapped out of his train of thought when Summer tugged at his arm and eximed, “Forget


    about him, Nico! Let’s just head on inside! Mr. Jenson won’t make us breakfast if we’rete! Don’t you


    want to enjoy his cooking? His fried eggs are amazing!”


    Then, the two of them then strolled into Harrick Vi and enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast.


    In the afternoon, Gwendolyn was lying in Cedrick’s embrace and using his muscr chest as a


    backrest.


    The two of them then watched a drama series together while Cedrick fed her some oranges.


    As the oranges were particrly sweet and juicy, Gwendolyn found herself unable to stop eating them.


    However, Cedrick knew her limits and stopped peeling them after she had her third orange.


    Gwendolyn turned around and shot him a nce as she protested with a pout, “I haven’t had enough!


    Peel me a few more oranges!”


    “No way. They’re high in sugar content, so pregnant women like you can’t eat too many. It’s bad for


    you.”


    “But I still want more…”


    Gwendolyn had be extra sensitive toward foodtely and would feel nauseous at the smell of


    greasy and spicy food. It wasn’t easy for her toe across a fruit that she liked, so she was not


    happy that Cedrick wouldn’t let her have more.


    Fine! If Cedrick won’t peel them for me, then I’ll just do it myself!


    She then got up from Cedrick’s embrace and reached out to grab an orange from the coffee table, but


    Cedrick was quicker. He snatched the fruit basket away and brought it into the kitchen. He even made


    sure to close the door firmly on his way out.


    “You’ve gone too far! I only had three oranges today! Why are you being so controlling toward me?”


    Gwendolyn eximed.


    “You’ll most likely feel sick tomorrow if you don’t control yourself. Also, did they put some kind of


    addictive substance in these oranges? You’ve been addicted to them since yesterday! This simply


    won’t do! I’ll have them banned across the country tomorrow!”


    Gwendolyn got mad when she heard him threaten to have oranges banned.


    She had been suffering a lot from sleepiness, loss of appetite, and vomiting due to her pregnancy. As if


    that wasn’t bad enough, she couldn’t even have more of her favorite oranges.


    In a fit of rage, she charged at Cedrick, rolled up his sleeve, and bit down hard on his arm.


    Cedrick gasped in pain, but he didn’t try to stop her at all. “If biting me will help you suppress your


    cravings, then it’s worth it,” he said as he sat there and let her bite away.


    Pretending that his arm was an orange, Gwendolyn clenched her jaw and increased the amount of


    force she used.


    Cedrick winced from the increasing amount of pain, but he kept quiet and endured it anyway.


    Blood was dripping from the two bite marks by the time Gwendolyn let go of him.


    “Step aside! I’ll only have three more oranges! I’ll stop for the day after that!” she shouted while ring


    angrily at him.


    However, Cedrick stood his ground and refused to budge.


    “You seriously won’t let me have my oranges? Fine! In that case, I’ll have to bite you again!”


    Gwendolyn threatened while licking her pearly-white teeth.


    Cedrick’s arm was still hurting a lot from her bite earlier.


    There were some tears in his reddened eyes as he grabbed her arm and ced it between his legs.


    “My arm is a really boring ce to bite. You should bite here instead! It’ll cause a lot more pain in a


    single bite!”


    Gwendolyn felt speechless when she heard that.


    Ugh… He sure is a brave one! Fine, I’ll let him win this time!


    “I can’t do that! I won’t be able to pleasure myself ever again if I bite that!”


    She let out a helpless sigh and slumped against the couch as she continued, “Fine! I won’t eat them


    anymore”


    I’ll sneakily have someter tonight!


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    With that in mind, Gwendolyn picked up her tablet from the side and started scrolling through the news.


    To her surprise, the first news article she saw was about Asher.


    The look on Gwendolyn’s face grew solemn as she tapped on it.


    Apparently, Asher had resigned from his positions at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the


    Ministry of Aviation. He didn’t even keep his job as the CEO of Harris Group.


    As Cedrick sat down beside her and nced at the news article, he quickly understood the reason


    behind Asher’s actions.


    “He had way too much power in Chanaea. He’s trying to show you that he has truly repented by giving


    up everything he had that would pose a threat to you. This way, you can punish Evelyn as you see fit


    without having to worry about him taking action against you.”


    Gwendolyn simply closed the news website and put the tablet aside without saying anything.


    Momentster, she received a call from Jared.


    “Ms. Harris, Mr. Asher refuses to sign the inheritance agreement. He says Harris Group would be better


    off in your hands. Will you being over today afternoon to sign the papers?”


    “No. Put the documents into a folder and have them delivered to the Jenson residence. I’ll sign it here.”


    Since Asher had offered to hand thepany over, it would be a waste to not ept it.


    “Sure thing!”


    Cedrick waited until Gwendolyn had ended the call before rolling up his sleeve and holding his arm out


    in front of her.


    “Look, Gwenny, it’s bleeding… It hurts so much… I want you to blow on it…”


    Gwendolyn stared at him with an emotionless look on her face, only to give in and take a look at his


    arm momentster.


    She was genuinely shocked when she saw the severity of his wound. Oh, my goodness! Why did I bite


    him that hard?


    “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have hurt you like this. I don’t know what has gotten into metely. I’ve been


    feeling irritable and losing control of my emotions a lot.”


    For some reason, she had a bad feeling about the changes in her body.


    “We’ll get you examined at the hospital first thing in the morning tomorrow,” Cedrick said with a serious


    expression.


    Gwendolyn nodded and continued blowing at the wound on his arm.


    She hoped that she was simply overthinking things.
