Chapter 269

I Will Be There Cedrick’s gaze dropped, avoiding Gwendolyn’s eyes as he exuded a cold
and distant demeanor.

Gwendolyn couldn’t comprehend what was going on with him.

She was consumed by fury, fueled by the overwhelming desire to confront him and inflict physical harm
to ensure he would never dare to break up with her again.

Fueled by her anger, she stepped down from the bed, her feet bare as she approached the bedside
table, where a heavy wooden ruler was stored in the first drawer.

However, at that moment, she hesitated, realizing the potential consequences of her impulses.

She was worried about the harm she could inflict on Cedrick with the heavy ruler if he chose to confront
her beatings directly.

On the other hand, the notion of returning empty–handed after her outburst filled Gwendolyn with a
sense of foolishness.

She discreetly turned around to check on Cedrick and found him gazing directly at her.

The mere thought of coming back without anything in her hands caused her to cringe with
embarrassment.

Determined to salvage the situation, she grabbed Cedrick’s black belt from the coat rack, folding it in
half with the buckle firmly in her hand, before sitting back on the bed.

“Do you see this? Don’t push me to the point where I have to resort to violence!” she exclaimed,
attempting to intimidate him.



Cedrick lifted his gaze and glanced at the belt in her hand, his face devoid of emotion.

“I had already given up on you back then, but you were the one who wanted me to give you a second
chance.

Now that I’ve given you that chance and have decided to spend the rest of my life with you, you’re
telling me you want to break up? Why? Give me a logical explanation for this!” Cedrick’s handsome
face glowed under the dim light as he gulped.

He lowered his gaze and remained silent, exuding a cold aura.

To Gwendolyn, his silence felt like a form of silent resistance.

She wondered if he was giving her the silent treatment and bit her lip, feeling hurt.

“Fine.

You need some time to think things through, right? Take all the time you need, then! Talk to me when
you’ve figured things out.

” Frustrated, she threw the belt at him, got off the bed, and stormed out of the room.

The atmosphere of the room turned somber as she forcefully closed the door behind her.

As Gwendolyn entered the next room, she decided she would sleep in separate rooms with Cedrick
from that point forward.

Throughout the night, she tossed and turned, her mind buzzing with thoughts of Cedrick and his distant
attitude.

Frustration mounting, she sat up and checked her phone.



Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw that it was already past two in the morning, and Cedrick
had yet to come and offer any consolation.

It became increasingly evident to her that he was seriouslydering ending their relationship.

Whatever! This is ridiculous! Gwendolyn nestled back into bed and pulled the covers over herself.

I had been a while since she had slept aloneers over herself.

found it somewha difficult to adjust.

Neither she nor Cedrick had an easy time falling asleep that night.

When Gwendolyn woke up the next morning Cedrick’s room door remained tightly shut.

Assuming he might still be asleep, she decided to head to Angle Corporation to avoid any interaction
with Cedrick.

The sky of Salinsburg was shrouded with dark clouds, reflecting the gloomy weather that had persisted
for the past two days.

Gwendolyn sat uneasily at her desk, resting her chin on her hands and gazing absentmindedly at the
drizzle outside the window.

Images of Cedrick’s peculiar behavior from the previous night flashed through her mind, causing her to
lose focus during Joanne’s report.

It suddenly dawned on her that he had let out a groan when she kicked him off the bed.

Knowing Cedrick’s high pain tolerance, it seemed odd that he would react that way unless he was
deliberately exaggerating his misery to gain her sympathy.



Moreover, considering Cedrick’s heavier weight and martial arts background, it seemed implausible
that she could kick him off the bed so easily.

As she dwelled on these thoughts, a realization–struck her.

Something wasn’t right.

All the signs seemed to indicate that Cedrick might be genuinely injured or weakened.

That explained why she could effortlessly kick him off the bed.

She slapped the table out of frustration at those thoughts.

She had been so blinded by rage yesterday night that she had overlooked all those details.

Now that she thought about it, Cedrick had been acting way off.

Joanne jumped in fright at the sudden bang of the table.

“Ms. Harris, did I say anything wrong?” “No.

” Gwendolyn quickly regained her composure, realizing the disruption she had caused.

She swiftly gathered her belongings, stating, “I have some urgent matters to attend to, Please continue
with h your report upon my return.

And if I don’t, you can proceed with it tomorrow.

” The rain intensified in Salinsburgh that day, pouring heavily onto the city streets.

Cedrick sat in his office at Jenson Group, his eyes dull and lifeless.



As he observed the raindrops trickling down the windowpane, his thoughts drifted back to a
conversation he had with Charles in Fairlake.

“The virus in your body will have long–lasting effects.

Eventually, you will be disabled.

She may pity you at first, but what about in the long run? It has been decided that your disabled body
isn’t worthy of her from the moment you were poisoned.

Neither you nor I can have her!” Cedrick’s fists clenched tightly, his face growing pale.

Exhaustion washed over him as his energy slowly seeped away.

Perhaps it was time for him to make a decision.

“He believed it would be better to endure temporary pain rather than prolong the excruciating
experience.

He thought that if Gwendolyn grew tired of him and started to hate him, she could eventually move on
from the sadness and agony they were currently experiencing and find a better life.

Meanwhile, Evelyn, who was sitting on a nearby sofa, was pouring herself a cup of tea.

As the ambassador of Rossi Project, she had come to discuss the terms of her compensation as
outlined in her contract with Cedrick.

However, Cedrick had been mentally absent ever since she entered his office.

He had been silently gazing at the rain outside his floor–to–ceiling window for the past half–hour.

“Mr. Jenson, you seem to be out of sorts today.



It doesn’t appear to be work–related.

Did you and Ms. Harris have a recent disagreement?” Cedrick’s face twisted in displeasure.

“Mind your words.

Who do you think you are to ask me that?” Evelyn smiled and replied tactfully, “Okay, I won’t ask.

But if you ever need my help, I will give it my all!” Cedrick remained unmoved by her affectionate tone.

In fact, he despised it.

“What do you want? Spit it out and leave.

” Evelyn gracefully approached Cedrick as she stood up.

Just as she was about to speak, Nico knocked on the door.

“Mr. Jenson, Ms. Gwendolyn is here.

” Why is she here? In a moment of panic, Cedrick grabbed Evelyn’s hand with his leather–gloved hand.

Evelyn leaned down to his eye level, positioning her ear close to his lips to hear his whispered
instructions.

That was the scene Gwendolyn walked in on when she entered the room.

The sight of them intimately biting each other’s ears sent a sharp pang through her heart.

“Cedrick?” Evelyn feigned surprise when she heard Gwendolyn’s voice.

She pulled away from took a step back.



edrick awkwardly and “Ms. Harris, fancy meeting you here.

What a coincidence.

” The way she was trying to cover up her actions after being exposed deepened Gwendolyn’s frown.

“Did I catch you at a bad time? What were you two doing?” Evelyn stuttered and glanced at Cedrick,
her face flushed with embarrassment.

Cedrick’s eyes darkened as he replied nonchalantly, “We’re doing exactly what you think we’re doing.

” He’s trying to spite me.

Gwendolyn took a deep breath, reminding herself to stay calm and trying her best to suppress her
anger.

“You.

Get out,” she said to Evelyn coldly.

Feeling reluctant, Evelyn called out in a sweet tone.

“Mr. Jenson…” Cedrick, avoiding eye contact, pursed his lips, seemingly agreeing with Gwendolyn’s
decision.

Hence, Evelyn had no choice but to leave the room.

Gwendolyn waited until Evelyn left before approaching Cedrick.

Noticing his pale complexion, she crouched down, placed her hands on his lap, and looked up at him.

“Ceddy, did you hurt yourself during your mission at the border? I’m sorry I kicked you last night.



I didn’t know.

But Ceddy, you’re not alone.

Don’t bear all the pain alone.

I will be by your side, caring for you.

I’m also learning how to show you love and protect you, okay?”
