The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 442

“Inez…” he called out gently, his brows furrowed.

It was Inez’s first time seeing his pained expression, so she was taken aback for a moment. It took her
some time to regain her senses before she closed her eyes.

“Kieran, I’m a fiancée of the Campbell family. We aren’t in a relationship. If you do anything to me
today, my reputation will be ruined.”

Kieran immediately sobered up upon hearing this.

“Sorry for my impertinence.”

He got up and sat on the chair next to her.

The imprints of his teeth were visible on his lower lip, forming a bloody streak. He was trembling, and
his face was flushed crimson. It was obvious he was having a hard time.

The moment Kieran let go of Inez, she ran toward the door without looking back.

Kieran looked at her retreating figure and laughed bitterly to himself.

If only I had realized my feelings sooner. It’s only when I lose her that I feel the pain.

He tried to endure it, but the warmth intensified, setting his skin ablaze with a searing heat that seemed
to ignite his being.

Just as he was on the brink of succumbing, the door was pushed open quickly.

Inez had returned and brought a manager to help him.

Kieran felt touched by Inez’s return.



Over at Harrick Villa, Zoey was puzzled when she noticed Cedrick walking down the stairs while
supporting himself on the banister.

“Mr. Jenson, what happened to your leg? Is it rheumatism?”

Cedrick was burning with anger. As he limped, he replied, “Yes. My knee is hurting.”

Zoey looked at the sunny weather, confused. “But it didn’t rain last night in Salinsburgh. Why would you
get rheumatism?”

He scowled and coughed a few times. Then, he explained with a straight face, “Gwenny took most of
the blanket last night, so I might have caught the cold.”

“Oh, I see.” Zoey sensed something was off but couldn’t pinpoint it. “Then, remember to take medicine.
Don’t get too close to the babies before you recover to avoid spreading your sickness to them.”

“Okay,” he answered without any hesitation.

It would be good to stay away from the kids. If I do something wrong again, I might get beaten up.

As they chatted, the sounds of footsteps sounded from the third floor.

Cedrick immediately instructed Zoey, “Did you come downstairs to prepare the milk bottles for the
babies? Then, you should go and do it, and don’t ask so many questions.”

“Okay, Mr. Jenson.”

Zoey turned to head back into the kitchen.

Gwendolyn had left in a hurry just now. Seeing he was leaning on the banister, she reached out to
support him by holding his arm.



“Does it still hurt? I thought we already applied ointment on it last night?”

Cedrick furrowed his brows aggrievedly and complained softly, “How could applying ointment once
make the swelling disappear after being on the Lego pieces for two hours?” He wrapped his arms
around her waist tightly “When are you going to give me a reward for accepting the punishment?”

Taking in his aggrieved expression, Gwendolyn leaned in and kissed him affectionately.

“There’s a business gala in two days. When I return, I’ll take good care of you at night, okay?”

Cedric was already content with the time cut from a week to two days.

However, he sensed something wrong with her words.

“What do you mean by when you return? Are you planning to go alone and leave me here in the villa?”

Gwendolyn nodded. “I don’t feel at ease if neither of us is here in the villa and only Mdm. Yarde is
taking care of the children.”

“That won’t do! I’m going with you,” he said resolutely.

His wife was too gorgeous. If he wasn’t present at the business gala, he was afraid men would hit on
her.

He couldn’t bear thinking about it because it would only make him upset.

Gwendolyn explained patiently, “Ceddy, what did you promise me last night? You said you would
prioritize the babies as I do. If you really want to go, I’ll stay and take care of the children with Mdm.
Yarde.”

He tried to persuade her. “Why can’t we go together? If you’re worried, I can get a team of soldiers to
guard this place. I promise an ant won’t even be able to enter this villa.”



Gwendolyn was rendered speechless. Did he even get what I’m trying to say?

Cedrick continued, “If you’re still worried, I can call Nico and Summer over so that they can take care of
the kids with Mdm. Yarde.”

Gwendolyn gazed at him in silence.

His eyes were filled with hurt. “Aren’t you afraid some woman will seduce me if I go alone?”

Gwendolyn replied solemnly, “If you’re so easily seduced, I won’t want you anymore even if we already
have children. I will take the children and leave, and you can never find me again.”

Cedrick’s heart clenched in fear. It seems I have gotten myself into trouble.

He raised his fingers and swore, “I used the wrong analogy. I promise I’ll never cheat on you, but you
have to be with me so that I can be at ease. Can you listen to me this time, please?”

Gwendolyn pinched his cheeks and gave in to him in the end.

Cedrick had been very obedient these past few days after his punishment.

He would accompany Gwendolyn to care for their babies, racing to take care of tasks before she did.

On the day of the business gala, Gwendolyn and Cedrick changed into appropriate attire.

Nico and Summer had arrived at Harrick Villa.

They were more than willing to help Zoey in taking care of the babies.

They gathered around the babies, creating a harmonious atmosphere.



As Nico went downstairs to learn how to handle milk bottles with Zoey, Summer held Gwendolyn’s arm
and whispered, “Gwendolyn, do you remember what you told me when you and Mr. Jenson married a
few months ago?”

Gwendolyn shook her head. She had so many conversations every day that there was no reason for
her to remember a specific sentence.

Summer giggled and said, “You said that it’s important to be financially independent. Only then will your
fate be in your hands.”

Gwendolyn remembered. “I think I did say something like that. Is there a problem with what I said?”

Summer giggled melodiously again as a hint of slyness flashed past her eyes.

“I finally thought of a way to take control of finances from Nico! He has to ask me for an allowance now!
It feels so great to be in control of the finances!”

Gwendolyn stared at her curiously. “Oh? What did you do?”

As Cedrick was also there, Summer leaned in mysteriously and whispered in Gwendolyn’s ear, “First,
I…”

The two gossiped for a while before Nico and Zoey returned.

Noticing Summer and Gwendolyn whispering among themselves, Nico smiled and asked, “What are
you talking about with Gwendolyn? Why did you leave Cedrick out of it?”

Cedrick’s expression turned grimmer at that, and he glanced at Nico. “What’s the deal with Summer
coming over to my house and getting so close to my wife? What’s the meaning of this?”

“Yes, yes, I’ll teach her a lesson when we return home.”



Nico chuckled and pulled a reluctant Summer away from Gwendolyn.

Summer pouted unhappily. “Gwendolyn, I’ll tell you more when I’m free! It’s really interesting.”

Gwendolyn smiled. “Okay. I’ll look forward to it.”

The four chatted for a while before Gwendolyn and Cedrick left for the business gala.

Before she left, Gwendolyn checked the security of the entire villa a few times.

To put her mind at ease, Cedrick had instructed Nico to bring four teams of soldiers to surround the
entire villa like an impregnable fortress. It was quite an intimidating sight.
