WOOING MY EX-WIFE - Season 2 Episode 9

If Maverick kept refusing, it would become obvious that something was fishy.

Maverick went to the kitchen with a cold expression on his face and brought out a new set of cutleries.

Ender Gwendolyn’s intense fierce gaze, he picked up a piece of grilled vegetable and stuffed it into his

mouth without hesitation, chewing emotionlessly for a moment before swallowing it.

The whole set of actions went smoothly, like moving clouds and flowing water.

Maverick replied, “It tastes just like regular grilled vegetables. Want to give it a try?”

Gwendolyn propped her chin with one hand and pointed at the plate of vegetables with the other. She

whispered in a devilish tone, “Finish this entire plate.”

Maverick’s expression changed slightly, and then he smiled. “You said that you’re the master here, so

this is made for you. How could I eat it?”

Gwendolyn did not feel like wasting time talking nonsense with him. “If you don’t eat, I’ll getthe

bodyguards to help you with it.”

“You!” Maverick’s dark eyes narrowed, and he stared at her without flinching. “Are you trying to use

your power to suppress me?”

Gwendolyn did not deny it. “Exactly. When dealing with a disobedient servant, one must take firm

measures. So, do you want to cat by yourself, or should I have them come in and feed you?”

Another multiple-choice question without a choice.

Maverick’s face darkened gradually under her gaze.

Maverick’s pride and hostility all these years had been ground by the woman before him four times in

just a few hours this afternoon. How detestable and despicable!

However, just as Gwendolyn was staring at him, she smiled with her eyes curved, which looked

innocent, like there was no such thing as using power to oppress others.

It made his anger seem overly petty.

It was impossible for him to refuse.

Maverick picked up the fork again and reached for the plate of grilled vegetables on the table. He didn’t

even realize that his arm was slightly trembling.

He held his breath and stuffed a large piece of vegetable into his mouth. It was incredibly difficult to

swallow down the food as his entire mouth seemed to reject the bizarre taste.

In order to teach Gwendolyn a lesson and vent his frustration, he almost added a big amount of every

bottle of seasonings with inconspicuous color.

Who would have guessed that she would be so cautious, and not eat a single bite? That half-smile expression on her face seemed to tell him that she had already seen through his trick.

Maverick refused to give up, so he tried to maintain a calm demeanor as he tasted the dish. However,

as soon as he took a bite of the dish, his stomach felt sick.

Unable to hold it in any longer, he rushed to the kitchen and threw up violently.

Gwendolyn laughed while clapping her hands, greatly admiring Maverick’s endurance as he managed

to take three bites of the food before spitting it out. Trying to torture me with this little trick? Just how

childish is this man?

Gwendolyn said, “Mr. Wright, it’s not right to waste food. As a punishment, you’re not allowed to have

dinner tonight.”

Maverick had vomited until his stomach was empty, but he still could not help but continue to retch.

Gwendolyn’s words had reached him, but he did not feel like responding.

Even stomach acid had been vomited out, leaving a burning sensation in Maverick’s throat. If she

doesn’t allow me to eat, then so be it.

He might choose not to eat, but Gwendolyn still needed to.

After the hideous episode, it was already past nine o’clock, and Gwendolyn was indeed feeling a bit

hungry.

With Maverick’s cooking skills, there was no hope for him to prepare dinner for tonight.

Therefore, she decided to cook a simple bowl of pasta for herself.

The pot on the stove was already burned, so Gwendolyn had no choice but to take out another pot

from the cabinet.

She boiled some water and added the pasta. She was apt in what she was doing.

Maverick just stood quietly by the door, watching her.

Seeing her serious and calm figure, Maverick’s mind was in a daze.

If time could rewind to the day we got married three years ago and start over again, would everything

become different? If I hadn’t agreed to divorce her back then, and we just lived a simple and ordinary

life together, things might turn out fine too…

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and he laughed at himself mockingly. If Gwendolyn knew what he

was thinking, given her personality, she would probably say, “You wish, id ot! Do you even deserve to

remarry me?”

He was just a servant who signed a contract and was truly undeserving to do that.

As he was thinking, Gwendolyn had already prepared a delicious bowl of spaghetti Bolognese.

There was only one bowl of spaghetti, with no extra sauce left.

In fact, not a single drop was left in the pot.

What a heartless woman. She really would punish me for not getting dinner ready without any

hesitation. Maverick felt quite awkward, but seeing Gwendolyn enjoying her meal, there was nothing he

could do there. He decided to go upstairs to the guest room on the first floor and tidy up a room for

himself to stay

“Stop right there.” Gwendolyn called out to him, “Come here. Stand in front of me and watch me until I

Maverick, stood in position as she requested with a cold expression on bir face

At first, he did not understand her meaning until the aroma of the pasta invaded his nostrils mercilessly.

The pasta smells so good.

She’s really enjoying her meal too.

Maverick’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, yet his face remained stern, standing there like a doorkeeper.

The impact of the smell was very strong. After he vomited, his stomach was almost completely

emptied.

At this moment, letting him “appreciate” how she was eating was nothing less than cruel torture.

Maverick finally understood the wicked thoughts Gwendolyn had in wanting to torment him.

After finishing the bowl of spaghetti Bolognese, Gwendolyn felt full. She elegantly wiped her mouth with

a napkin and looked at the man standing before her, whose face was as dark as coal.

“Remember to clean the kitchen thoroughly before going to bed It should look exactly as it was before

you started using it, and don’t even think about slacking off.” After she finished speaking, she stood up

and prepared to go upstairs.

However, her gaze caught sight of the man’s unusually white shirt.

Gwendolyn furrowed her eyebrows and walked over, gently lifting up the collar of his shirt. There was a

faint hint of pink on it. Why does it look like bloodstains?

Maverick noticed her eyes narrowing dangerously and quickly explained, “It’s blood from the pork ribs.

It accidentally stuck on my shirt while I was cleaning the ribs.” xo.com fast update

Gwendolyn did not believe it at all. With a forceful twist, her hand felt the wet water stains. She looked

up again, scrutinizing Maverick.

Then, she showed him the water stains on her hands.

Maverick said without blinking an eye, “I washed it because it got dirty.”

Gwendolyn watched him lie with a straight face as she could not understand what was going on.

Why hide it when you’re clearly injured? Does he think that I might not only be unsympathetic but rub

salt in his wounds instead? Haha.

However, it was true that if she were really being pushed to the limit, she could not guarantee that she

would not do that.

Since the man did not want to say more, Gwendolyn also decided not to ask further and turned around

to head upstairs.

As she passed by the cabinet in the living room’partition, she stopped in her tracks and took out the

first- aid kit from the inside, placing it in an obvious spot. Then, she returned to her room without

looking back.

Upon seeing her movements, Maverick’s pupils quivered slightly.

Has she guessed that I am injured, or… she knew all along? Does the group Asher sent to kill me have

anything to do with her? Who is she anyway? How many more secrets about her that I am not aware

of?”

Maverick looked upstairs with his mind filled with doubts and concerns. His deep, dark eyes looked like

they were planning something, but it was unclear what he was pondering.

Gwendolyn went upstairs and took a long shower. Just as she finished, she heard a knock on the door.

Only two people were living in the villa, so it was obvious who that was. Gwendolyn could only quickly

change into her pajamas.

The sound of door knocking continued, and the noise was quite disturbing. Then, Gwendolyn went to

open the door with an unfriendly expression. “What is it?”

Maverick who was standing outside the door was taken aback. It seemed he had not expected her to

change her outfit so quickly.

Gwendolyn was wearing pink cartoon pajamas with her hair wet, and her face without makeup made

her skin appear even more fragile as if it could be broken with just a touch. Her tiny mouth was pinkish,

but her eyes were glaring at him with displeasure.

This scene is surprisingly… a bit adorable? Maverick lowered his gaze and let go of those inexplicable

thoughts that had entered his mind. He said, “All my luggage is at Sky Villa, where I was staying

before, so

Like to go out and get them.”

Gwendolyn frowned almost imperceptibly and subconsciously glanced at the time.

It was already eleven o’clock at night.
