    Chapter 628 The First Day Of The Trip


    Facing the gaze of the three individuals, Cedrick leaned close to Gwendolyn’s ear and whispered, “I’m


    just thinking of helping Kieran gain some experience in pursuing a woman.”“


    Gwendolyn stifled augh and caressed the man’s handsome face affectionately, exining to Kieran


    and Inez, “Ceddy doesn’t have secret savings, and I’ve never managed his finances, Well, he might


    surprise me with small gifts from time to time, but he’s very responsible and never spends recklessly. I


    think he’s just joking around with you, Kieran.”


    Cedrick’s dark eyes were filled with satisfaction as he yfully nuzzled her nose. “My wife knows me


    best.”


    Kieran and Inez both cringed from Cedrick and Gwendolyn’s tant disy of affection, even though


    they themselves were also a couple.


    Kieran knitted his brows, feeling slightly displeased.


    He regretted asking Gwendolyn and Cedrick to tag along, for he was unsure how to react. Who knows


    they could be so lovey-dovey with each other?


    Unaware of Kieran’s thoughts, Inez looked at Gwendolyn and Cedrick and could not help but feel a hint


    of envy toward their rtionship.


    After several hours of flying, the four of them finally arrived at the airport in the capital city of Turlen.


    Turien was renowned as thend of sweet treats, particrly known for its love of sweet curry sauce.

    Cedrick, Kieran, and the others went straight to thergest food center in the afternoon.


    “There are too many people here. Should we eat at the hotel?” Kieran suggested.


    Gwendolyn disagreed. “The most popr shops are often found in the bustling streets and alleys,


    offering the most delicious vors. While five-star hotels excel in cleanliness and presentation, they


    oftenck that authentic taste. Since we’re here, we should experience Tulen’s local culture.”


    Cedrick tightened his grip on Gwendolyn’s hand. “She’s right.”


    Inez, too, agreed. “The streets have such a lively and vibrant atmosphere. Eating in a hotel would be


    too dull. I think indulging in street food would be a better choice. We can also take some unique photos


    to capture our memories.”


    Since everyone agreed with Gwendolyn, Kieran had nothing more to say and could only ept their


    suggestion.


    Gwendolyn ordered two servings of pineapple fried rice from a street vendor, while Inez opted for the


    signature hot and sour lemongrass soup and curry noodles.


    Cedrick and Kieran, on the other hand, didn’t even go through the menu and went along with the two


    women, eating whatever they ordered.


    If Inez and Gwendolyn could not finish their meals, they would dly help finish up the remaining food


    to avoid wastage.


    The entire shopping experience in the afternoon was delightfully harmonious.


    However, contrary to Cedrick and Kieran’s expectations, they seemed to have transformed into the


    women’s bag carriers, trailing behind them.


    The two women appeared to have clicked with each other as their trip progressed, bing great


    friends and developing a bond. Walking side by side, they chatted andughed while indulging in their


    shopping


    sprees.


    Meanwhile, Cedrick and Kieran remained silent, dutifully following behind and carrying the things their


    respective partners bought.


    For Gwendolyn and Inez, the three hours they spent shopping were enjoyable, but, for Kieran and


    Cedrick, it proved to be a rather uneventful experience.


    At around four in the afternoon, as the weather grew unexpectedly hot, the group made the decision to


    visit a swimming pool for a refreshing swim.


    Kieran and Cedrick had well-toned bodies that appeared lean when they disrobed.


    As they emerged from the changing room, they were dressed in nothing but swim trunks.


    With their broad shoulders, narrow waists, well-defined abs, and a perfectly sculpted V-line, they


    exuded an undeniable sex appeal.


    They appeared like male models fresh off the pages of an international fashion magazine as they


    emerged. from the changing room.


    Their striking looks elicited awe from local women, who couldn’t help but gasp in admiration. The


    women’s jaws dropped, and some were even on the verge of drooling.


    Under the weight of all those stares, the two men stood by the poolside.


    While one remained calm andposed, the other had a dark and intense gaze.


    Both harbored a hint of displeasure as they silently waited for thedies to finish changing.


    After a brief few minutes, Gwendolyn and Inez emerged from the women’s changing room, walking


    side by side like close confidantes,


    Gwendolyn’s swimsuit, an emerald green piece meticulously selected by Cedrick, offered the perfect


    bnce of coverage, enhancing her exquisite figure.


    The lower half featured a delicate, translucent green skirt that added a touch of elegance to her slim


    waist and fair skin, making her look like a fairy, radiating purity and grace.


    Inez opted for a dark red swimsuit that left little to the imagination, showcasing her alluring and


    voluptuous curves. It was a rare moment for her to embrace her feminine side.


    Standing side by side, they created a perfect colorbination of red and green thatplemented


    each other beautifully.


    There was no hint of discord or tackiness. Instead, theyplemented each other harmoniously, like a


    pair of sisters.


    As they emerged, not only Cedrick and Kieran were momentarily stunned, but the men in the pool


    behind them also perked up, with many even whistling in an attempt to catch the attention of the two


    beauties.


    The expressions on Kieran’s and Cedrick’s faces turned grim.


    They believed the most sensual and alluring aspects of their women should be exclusively reserved for


    them. How dare those lowly meny eyes on them?


    Driven by possessiveness, Cedrick and Kieran simultaneously grabbed a towel and approached their


    respective partners, draping the towels over them.


    Gwendolyn’s swimsuit, personally selected by Cedrick, had a more conservative design, but it was not


    the case for Inez.


    The swimsuit Inez put on entuated her seductive figure.


    Kieran’s expression grew stern as he wished he could wrap his fiancée up like a mummy, covering her


    from head to toe.


    Feeling constricted by the tightly wrapped towel, Inez protested, “Loosen your grip a bit! I can hardly


    breathe. We haven’t even gotten in the water, yet you’ve wrapped me up like this. What’s wrong with


    you?”


    Kieran’s face darkened. “You’re showing too much skin. It’s not attractive.”


    Inez stared at him in shock, as if struck by lightning, feeling deeply hurt. “I thought I looked good. Do


    you really not like how I look?”


    Sensing Inez’s emotional distress, Gwendolyn swiftly reproached her brother. “Kieran, you shouldn’t


    have said that. What do you mean when you said she’s not attractive when she shows too much skin?


    Be mindful of your words. If you offend my future sister-inw, you might lose her for good.”


    Cedrick carefully draped the towel around his wife, ensuring her modesty below the neck. With a


    knowing look, he directly gave Kieran a piece of advice. “My wife is undeniably stunning, and I can


    hardly contain myself when I see her in this swimsuit. However, her beauty is meant for my eyes only.


    I’ll feel jealous if any other men dare toy eyes on her.


    Having listened attentively to Cedrick’s words, Kieran instantly grasped the implied meaning. He looked


    at Inez apologetically and spoke sincerely. “Inez, I apologize for my thoughtless words earlier. That’s


    not what I intended to convey.


    Inez suppressed her anger, refusing to ept his exnation. “I think you meant what you said, Mr.


    Kieran. I understand what you meant when you said I’m unattractive.”


    Kieran lowered his head. “But that’s not what I meant. You misunderstood me


    “What do you actually mean then?”


    Cedrick and Gwendolyn’s lips twitched as they listened to the conversation.


    Gwendolyn could not help but intervene. “What are you two going on about? Just tell her what you


    think. Kieran


    Kieran struggled to express himself and got caught up in the topic, feeling overwhelmed.


    Cedrick gently patted his shoulder and swiftly came to his rescue. “Kieran is not exactly good with


    words. When he said ‘unattractive, he actually meant that he didn’t want other men toy eyes on you.”


    Kieran nodded in agreement. “Yes. That’s exactly what I meant.”


    ncing at Cedrick, who was eloquent and had high emotional intelligence, Inez could not help but


    feel frustrated whenparing him to her own fiancé.


    “Since that’s what you meant, why couldn’t you express it yourself? Why did Mr. Jenson have to


    exin your intentions for you?” she expressed her dissatisfaction, feeling a bit hurt. “It’s my first time


    swimming with you, and I chose a swimsuit that I really liked, thinking you would appreciate it.”


    Kieran froze for a moment. “Of course, I appreciate it, but what I meant earlier…”


    Inez’s anger was on the verge of erupting as she interjected, saying, “If you appreciate it, why is there


    still “but’? Are you trying to give me praise and then undermine it?”


    Kieran defended himself. “That’s not what I meant.”


    “What do you mean then? If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t. What’s with all the “buts?” she


    retorted.


    “Inez, L” Kieran was at a loss for words.


    On the sidelines, Gwendolyn and Cedrick, too, were rendered speechless. Are they going to continue


    arguing about this topic all day long?
