Gwendolyn reached up to cover her face when she sensed the anger in his tone.
She stopped resisting, allowing him to carry her into the house.
Elven, on the other hand, was stunned. “Ms. Gwendolyn…”
What am I supposed to do? Do I go into the villa to perform my duties as a third–wheeler or do I go to
Angle?
“Go to Angle and get William to see if Nico needs any help.”
“Yes, Ms. Gwendolyn!”
With Elven gone, the alley became silent while Cedrick’s unusual aura hung in the air.
“So, you know about it already?” asked Gwendolyn uneasily.
Cedrick merely walked forward in silence.

Cr*p. He’s really furious. I knew he’d be mad when he learns about the truth. I just didn’t expect him to
find out about it so soon. Geez. I didn’t even have time to prepare myself mentally.
It did not take long for them to arrive at Harrick Villa.
Gwendolyn wanted to get down and walk on her own, but Cedrick had other plans. He proceeded to
carry her upstairs without saying a word.
As they entered the bedroom, Cedrick thought of dumping her fiercely onto the bed like how she had
treated him the last time.
However, he could not bring himself to do so when he felt her slender waist. He feared it would hurt
her.
Finally, he chose to place her upright on the bed.
All the carrying had made him feel hot.
He loosened his tie with one hand and threw his coat on the bed. Rolling his sleeves, he asked, “Are
you going to explain it yourself, or should I do the questioning?”
“I…” Gwendolyn inhaled deeply as she watched his actions.
If he were Asher, that action paired with the same expression meant he was going to beat up someone.
Nonetheless, Gwendolyn was sure Cedrick would never dare to hit her.
I am sure he wouldn’t dare.
Therefore, she quickly regained her confidence and said, “Yes. I was the culprit. It’s your fault for
drinking alone without informing me, though. You were even alone with Evelyn. This is to teach you to
be careful and not get drunk so casually.”
Cedrick looked grim and questioned, “Who’d dare to do anything when I have Nico on guard? I
should’ve known. Nico would never let another woman apart from you doodle on my body.”
Propping her chin up with his slender finger, he growled, “Do you know why I went out to have a drink

alone? It’s because you made a deal with Charles. You were even planning to marry him!”
The thought of that filled him with frustration.
There had been many instances where he wanted to give in during the past two days.

However, the thought of Charles‘ proposal to marry Gwendolyn kept bugging him. In fact, it would keep
bothering Cedrick as long as he did not hear Gwendolyn’s answer.

Avoiding his gaze, Gwendolyn muttered, “Why are you bringing this up again? Are you not going to let
this go?”
“Never! I want you to promise me you’d never agree to his last two conditions!”
Gwendolyn fell silent.
When there was no answer from her, Cedrick gripped her shoulders and said sternly, “Gwenny, you
can marry anyone except Charles if I fail to live past winter.”
Frowning slightly, she decided to compromise, “Okay. I give you my word.” She then glanced at her
shoulders and demanded, “Let go. You’re hurting me.”
Only then did Cedrick quickly loosen his grip and massage her shoulders. At the same time, the look in
his eyes softened.
Gwendolyn chuckled.
He can’t even hide his true feelings. How is he going to counterattack?
Stifling her laugh, she asked, “All right. Weren’t you planning on making me pay back? What do you
have in mind?”
Cedrick’s hands stopped, the stern gaze returning to his eyes.
“Do you admit you worked with Nico to set me up and even let him come up with such a rotten idea to
cuff myself to the bed?”
“I admit it, but I’ll still do it again,” said Gwendolyn with a casual smile.
“You!” Cedrick’s fury was ignited once again. “Looks like you had fun setting me up, eh? Very well. I’ll
make you pay
you pay back for all of it today.”
“Are you going to cuff me?”
Her voice was gentle. At the same time, she placed her delicate wrist before him. “The handcuffs are a
little heavy since they’re made of metal. Please be gentle, Ceddy.”
Cedrick eyed her wrist, which appeared as though it could snap easily because of how skinny it was.
Well, the handcuffs from last night were quite heavy…
Realizing his resolve was weakening before he had even taken action, he steeled himself and
snapped, “I won’t go soft on you this time!”
Gwendolyn merely smiled, indirectly exposing him.

Her stares made him feel awkward. Regaining his stern countenance, he stated, “That’s for another
day. forgot to bring the handcuffs today, but I’m going to make you pay for the times you hit me. Give
me your hand!”
Gwendolyn opened her palms obediently, her eyes twinkling. “Do you need a ruler? There’s one in the
drawer.”
Her teases annoyed him. “Who says I’m going to use a ruler? I’m not going to use that!”
While saying that, he moved his arms to his waist as though he was about to unbuckle his belt.
With her palms still exposed, she said nonchalantly, “Are you really going to hit me? You’d better think
this through. What goes around comes around. You’d better not let me catch you making a mistake
next time.”
Sure enough, Cedrick paused in his tracks.
Gwendolyn smirked mischievously at his reaction. “I’m a petty person. I might make you pay back a
hundred or even a thousand times more when I’m in a bad mood the next time. You’d better prepare
yourself.”
The look on Cedrick’s face did not change, but his hand simply hung by his belt.
Fck! Neither buckling nor unbuckling it seemed appropriate.
Frustration swelled within him as he stared at the mischievous woman. Ugh! This woman knows how to
control me.
“Don’t just stand there, Ceddy. My hands are getting tired. Be quick with it.”
“How dare you hurry me? Who’s the one getting punished now? You should behave like me when I’m
in the wrong!” he hissed.
Gwendolyn’s brows creased into a frown as she glared at him. “I’m already behaving myself! Stop dilly-
dallying and finish this quickly!”
For some reason, Cedrick felt as if he was getting pushed into a corner.
Gwendolyn had already said she would accept the punishment, yet his hand would not move.
However, her arrogant attitude put him on the spot. Nothing he did seemed right.
Amidst the standstill, someone knocked on the door. It was Ezra,
“Ms. Gwendolyn, a deliveryman dropped by just now. Apparently, it’s confidential and urgent, so I took
it for you. Do you need it now?”
Cedrick took advantage of the situation to buckle his belt and cast Gwendolyn a curious look. “A secret
parcel? What did you buy?”
Gwendolyn’s face turned pink instantly.
There was only one thing she had bought recently,
It was originally meant to make Cedrick yield, but she had forgotten to track the parcel’s delivery status.
What bad luck! Why does it have to arrive now?
“Uh… You can just leave it in my room next door. I don’t need it now.”
“Wait.”
Her flushed cheeks and even ears caught Cedrick’s attention. Why is she so flustered?
That only fueled his suspicion. Hence, he opened the door and accepted the exquisite–looking box
from Ezra.
“Don’t open it!”
