The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 595 Cedrick Asks To Be Punished

Nico exchanged glances with Cedrick in dismay.

Despite Cedrick’s gentlemanly demeanor, his words sounded like the devil’s whisper.

“You should clean up your own mess. If you fail to do so, I have a hundred ways of doing it for you. Do
you want to try?”

With his knees going weak, Nico turned toward Gwendolyn and explained meekly, “Gwendolyn, I was
being over dramatic just now. It isn’t as bad as it sounds. Cedrick had rescued a female university
student who was kidnapped by terrorists during her travels. No one expected her to end up falling for
him. Although she kept clinging onto him for a couple of days, you can rest assured that Cedrick stayed
away from her, as you’re the only one he cares about. Not only did he firmly reject the girl a few times,
but he also got Neville to take her home after that.”

Nico finished the explanation as if he was pleading for his life.

The accurate recount of the incident brought a sense of relief to Cedrick, as he didn’t feel that he had
done anything wrong in this instance.

In spite of that, he was surprised to see Gwendolyn fall into deep thought after hearing Nico’s words.

A short while later, she regained her senses and asked, “Why didn’t you ever mention it after returning
to

Salinsburgh? Since your conscience is clear, why didn’t you dare let me know?”

Her words caused Cedrick to freeze.

Nico’s expression drastically changed as he continued to explain, “Don’t be angry, Gwendolyn. Cedrick
didn’t tell you because he was worried that you would overreact. I swear that he is absolutely loyal to



you, Regardless of how other girls try to seduce him, he would never succumb to their charms.”

Instead of replying, Gwendolyn maintained her gaze on Cedrick.

Even the smallest of his movements didn’t escape her keen eye. The gulping of his throat was a sign of
his nervousness, while the guilt on his face was unmistakable.

Nonetheless, given the presence of her brothers and sisters-in-law, Gwendolyn broke into a smile
instead. “Don’t worry. Of course, I trust him.”

She then served Cedrick some food with a twinkle in her eye. “Come, Hubby, why don’t you have some
more? You must be tired after preparing so many dishes. In fact, I’ll give you a massage tonight.”

Massage?

Cedrick’s palm froze. It’ll probably be more of a tormenting interrogation. I’m afraid I’ll be seeing the
wooden ruler kept in the drawer soon.

Cedrick let out a quiet sigh as he mourned for himself. His mind began to formulate his defense as he
prepared for the gathering storm at night.

Just like that, Gwendolyn changed the subject skillfully.

Laughter quickly returned to the table with the occasional clinking of glasses ringing out in the air.

Thereafter, the dinner turned out to be a drawn-out affair.

It wasn’t until it was nine-thirty in the evening that it finally ended.

Nico, who was half-drunk, had already started to babble nonsensically.



Once again, he reminisced about the ten years of his life at the border, where he lived like a caveman.
Crying out in tears, he swore that he would forever remember the debt of gratitude he owed Cedrick
and would repay it with his life.

Fortunately, Nico’s villa was nearby. Summer managed to bring him home by coaxing him while
supporting him by the arm.

As for Gwendolyn’s three brothers, they led their other halves into the garage and drove back to their
respective homes.

The messy kitchen was subsequently cleared up by Cedrick once everyone was gone.

Under normal circumstances, Gwendolyn would chat with him while helping to put the cutleries back
where they belonged.

However, she returned to her room after dinner instead, leaving him behind to clean up the huge mess
alone. It was as if she was punishing him for his lack of honesty at the table.

Mired in guilt, Cedrick resigned himself to getting the job done.

Half an hour later, he warily returned to the bedroom.

The door was left slightly ajar, allowing light from the room to spill through a small gap.

Upon gently pushing the door open, Cedrick could see Gwendolyn sitting on the bed and looking at her
phone with her legs crossed.

As there was no sign of the terrifying wooden ruler next to her, Cedrick began to wonder.

Is she letting me off just like that? Does she not plan to question me anymore? Am I really going to get
a massage?



Filled with uncertainty, Cedrick opened the door and walked toward Gwendolyn slowly. He then leaned
in gingerly in an attempt to hug her. “Darling.”

Gwendolyn didn’t dodge but paid him no heed either. The cold shoulder she was giving him couldn’t be
any more obvious.

Detecting the animosity she exuded, Cedrick snuck a glance at her screen.

He could see that she had their WhatsApp chat window open.

Hmm? Is she checking our chat log?

Upon taking a closer look, he saw the messages he sent her while he was still at the border, such as
his telling her about the roasted wild rabbits and their tent.

It looked to him as if she was checking to see if he ever told her about the girl pursuing him.

Holding his breath and fearing the worst, Cedrick turned around and retrieved the long-sealed Lego
pieces from the wardrobe.

Noticing what Cedrick was doing, Gwendolyn threw him a glance and asked in a nonchalant tone,
“What are you doing?”

The submissive look on Cedrick’s face was unmistakable. “It’s my fault for keeping what happened at
the border from you, Gwenny. Therefore, I’m going to punish myself by kneeling on the Lego pieces in
the

corner.”

“Don’t bother.” Gwendolyn gestured at the empty spot beside her with her eyes.



Despite the anger within her, she was worried that Cedrick would hurt his knees from kneeling on the
Lego pieces. After all, she would sometimes get carried away with her emotions and punish him for an
excessively long period.

Acknowledging her instruction, Cedrick made his way to the empty spot beside her and sat there on his
knees.

As they stared into each other’s eyes, Gwendolyn began to question him.

“Please explain why you never told me about the incident at the border?”

“Both of us were just swamped the first few days I returned. We had to deal with Xander and Grandpa
before resolving the matter with Evelyn, I did plan to tell you when things settled down but didn’t expect
Nico to do so ahead of me.”

Brows knitted, Gwendolyn flashed their chat window at him. “Take a look at this yourself. From the first
day you left for the border, you sent me messages almost every day. However, never once did you
mention the girl who was pursuing you. Were you hiding it from me on purpose?”

Cedrick’s jawline tensed up as he replied candidly, “I didn’t dare tell you for fear that you would be
upset. That said, nothing happened between the two of us.”

Gwendolyn couldn’t understand his perspective still. “I wouldn’t have thought much of it if you had told
me back then. But after hearing it from Nico and seeing you fumble your response, I’m actually
outraged that you were trying to hide the fact that you were flirting behind my back.”

Cedrick was infuriated to be accused of flirting, which he felt had gone too far. “Darling, I didn’t flirt at
all. It was the girl who unilaterally came onto me. I kept an appropriate distance and didn’t touch her in
any way. In fact, I don’t even know why she has her eye on me…”



Cedrick regretted feeling lucky back then.

By not being upfront with her, he looked as if he was trying to cover up his indiscretions the more he
explained.

“You’re right that I shouldn’t have kept it from you, but I didn’t do anything to betray you still. Why don’t
you just punish me to vent your anger?”

Gwendolyn responded with a smirk, “I wouldn’t dare. It would be wrong for me to take disciplinary
action against the boss of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the head of the powerful Jenson
family.”

While the nonchalant words left her mouth, Gwendolyn’s right hand reached out abruptly for the
wooden ruler.

Cedrick cussed in his heart.

She was hiding it by her side! Has she been trying to lure me in all this while, hoping that I would
volunteer to be punished?
