Cedrick’s expression became stern all of a sudden. “Are you saying you nearly drowned when you
were fifteen, and someone might’ve pushed you?”
Gwendolyn nodded. “I lost my memory until the night I married you. You intentionally worked overtime
at the office and didn’t come back. Natasha came looking for me that night and said a lot of things to
hurt my feelings. She caught me off guard and pushed me into the pond from behind. I hit my head on
the corals and regained my memory.”
Cedrick’s heart broke when she mentioned the events from three years ago. Overwhelmed by guilt, he
hugged her tighter.
Gwendolyn didn’t notice the change in his mood, so she continued, “However, I can’t remember
anything about what happened to me. Occasionally, fragments of my memory would pop up in my mind
when I get triggered. That being said, I could never connect those fragments of memory together.”
Cedrick mulled over it for a while and came up with a theory. “Gwenny, could you have lost your
memory because you were injected with some substance?”
“That’s possible.” She put her hand over her chest and felt her heartbeat before burying her head in
Cedrick’s chest. “Ceddy, I’ve been feeling uneasy since I started having nightmares. I keep feeling as
though something bad is going to happen.”
Cedrick couldn’t help feeling anxious upon hearing that. “Maybe it’s because you’ve been too tired from
work recently, and you’re under too much pressure. Don’t overthink. Why don’t you just take a few days
off and relax?” he consoled her.
Gwendolyn gave it some thought and replied, “Forget about it. I have too many things on my hands. If I
don’t finish my work, I’ll feel agitated.”
With that, she got out of Cedrick’s embrace and sprawled on his cross-legged lap. She then brushed
her hair aside, revealing her back and fair neck, folded her arms, and rested her head lazily on her
arms.
In a weary tone, she uttered, “Ceddy, I had a nightmare, and I’m feeling weak all over. Please give me
a massage.”
Cedrick froze momentarily when he laid eyes on her posture and saw how plump her bottom was.
While feasting his eyes on her, he gulped and felt his body heating up.
Therefore, he bent forward and whispered in Gwendolyn’s ear, “Do you have any idea how sexy you
look right now?”
Gwendolyn turned around and asked with an arched brow, “Are you losing control of yourself?”
Cedrick tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear and murmured, “The woman on my lap is my
future wife. Do you think I should hold myself back?”
“Focus on massaging me. If I’m not satisfied with your service, I’ll spank you with a rod!” She scoffed
and shut her eyes.
Cedrick stared at her side profile and grumbled inwardly. She seduced me, but she’s preventing me
from doing anything about my urge! This is so frustrating! How am I supposed to suppress my urge?
With that in mind, he gritted his teeth silently.
Right then, Gwendolyn urged, “Get on with it. I’m going to sleep after the massage.”
Cedrick immediately concealed his frustration and massaged her shoulders and acupoints.
Ever since Gwendolyn got pregnant, she had been weaker than usual. Since she often felt tired and
sore all over her body, Cedrick took a messaging lesson a few days prior.
His massaging skills were so good that Gwendolyn dozed off on his lap in no time.
“Gwenny?” he called out softly.
Upon ensuring she was asleep, he reached out his hand to pat and rub her bottom. I’ll treat this as a
reward for the half an hour massage I’ve given her!
Suddenly, Gwendolyn moved and groaned.
Cedrick retracted his hand at once and pulled her into his embrace carefully, pulled the blanket over
her, and fell asleep.
Gwendolyn woke up early the following day for the opening ceremony.
Eloise disrupted the plan for the opening ceremony the other day, so after having a discussion with the
film crew, the opening ceremony was rescheduled.
By using cosmetics suitable for pregnant women, she put on a layer of light makeup and hurried out
after breakfast.
Without Eloise messing things up, the opening ceremony went smoothly, and it was completed within
two hours.
Around noon, Gwendolyn returned to Angle Corporation and thought about taking a nap.
Unfortunately for Gwendolyn, Joanne came knocking on her door frantically a few minutes after
Gwendolyn dozed off.
“Ms. Harris, did you see the news? Something serious has happened!” Joanne uttered.
Gwendolyn became alert when she saw how anxious Joanne was. Upon checking her iPad,
Gwendolyn saw that Joaquin had made headlines. This is serious! If this isn’t dealt with carefully, it’ll
ruin Joaquin’s future and cause Angle Corporation’s stocks to plummet.
Explicit photos of Joaquin were all over the internet. The photos showed Joaquin sleeping half-naked in
bed with a blurred image of a woman beside him. More importantly, it seemed like there were different
women in each photo.
An uproar broke out on the internet as soon as those photos were leaked.
Needless to say, the netizens were all in shock.
Joaquin was only nineteen. If he were to be labeled as a promiscuous artist at such a young age, his
career could end prematurely.
Seeing that the photos were only published an hour ago, there was still a chance to turn things around.
“Ms. Harris, what should we do now? The company’s public relations department had already tried to
soften the blow, but the netizens are asking Mr. Zipper to make a public statement. Moments earlier, I
called his manager, who said the agency could no longer contact Mr. Zipper. They have no idea where
Mr. Zipper is at this moment. Hence, we don’t even know if the photos online are legit. Gosh! Mr. Zipper
is Angle Corporation’s best male artist. If he gets taken down, it’ll affect our company badly!” Joanne
was on pins and needles and on the verge of a mental breakdown.
On the contrary, Gwendolyn was still reading the trending topics silently.
“Say something, Ms. Harris!” Joanne urged.
Gwendolyn replied in a calm and collected tone, “The Zipper family is very strict. Although Joaquin is a
mischievous man who invites trouble, I don’t think he’s promiscuous. I believe in him.”
“Well, I’ve already asked someone to investigate the photos found online. Those photos aren’t edited.
It’s impossible he was forced to do it, right?”
Hearing that, Gwendolyn lifted her gaze toward Joanne and instructed, “Make an announcement in the
company’s name and say that I believe in Joaquin. No matter what, Angle Corporation will have his
back! Tell the netizens to be patient because things will turn around.”
“Uh…” Joanne didn’t dare to do as she was told. “Please think it through, Ms. Harris. If we make an
announcement like that, Angle Corporation will cease to exist when things go south!”
Gwendolyn wasn’t fazed because she had already made up her mind. “Just do as I say. I know what
I’m doing.”
Since Joanne couldn’t convince Gwendolyn otherwise, Joanne had no choice but to leave Gwendolyn’s
office reluctantly and inform the public relations department about Gwendolyn’s instruction.
A few minutes after Joanne left, she returned and reported, “Ms. Harris, some people from the Zipper
family in Fairlake are here to see you.”
