Waid, Nico. I’ll give you a raise when

Sherman’s eyes were bloodshot with rage as he watched the two disappear into the distance, but all he could do was punch at the ground to vent his frustration.

Cedrick went back to his usual self upon returning to Harrick Villa. “Nico, I want you to continue pressuring Ferguson Group and make them go bankrupt within three days! Make sure to acquire everything they own! I want the Ferguson family to stay down for good!”
“Understood.”
“Eloise did a lot of bad things in the past. It was the Ferguson family that helped clean up after her messes. Put up an ad with a huge reward on the dark web for evidence of her crimes. I want to help Gwenny send Eloise to prison!” Cedrick continued.
Given how the Ferguson family had taken a huge hit, there would surely be others who. would strike them while they were down.
After all, being able to kick an enemy, who had been a thorn in their side for years, was not an opportunity that came by often.
“Leave it to me, Boss!” Nico rea*sured him.
Having made the arrangements, Cedrick glanced at the sky outside the window.
The sky had gotten dark rather early lately due to the rainy weather and winter being just around the corner.
Cedrick lowered his gaze as he felt a little lonely on the inside.
Gwendolyn would spend the entire day outside whenever she left the house, and she wouldn’t even call him throughout the day.
Ah… It’s already seven in the evening, and Gwendolyn still isn’t home yet…
Cedrick slumped weakly against the couch and looked as dejected as a person who had lost the will to live.
Nico let out a sigh when he saw that. “Are you missing Ms. Gwendolyn again, Boss?”

Cedrick ignored him and stared at the empty road outside the window.
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn’s car was parked about two hundred rs a

stened to Elven’s:
“I’m sorry, Ms. Harris. He managed to shake us off shortly after discover
us, so we were unable to tail him.” When he noticed the increasingly gloomy look in Gwendolyn’s eyes, Elven’s voice grew even softer as he continued, “I’m truly sorry…”

“It’s all right. He was trained by elites, so he’s highly capable in every aspect. He’s also very smart. Shaking you guys off his tail would be a piece of cake anyway.” Gwendolyn then looked at the phone number that Charles had written down on the paper. “What about this phone number? Did you manage to find anything about it?”
“It is indeed a Chanaean number. While it isn’t registered to anyone in particular, we managed to track down the location of its user. It’s currently in Erihal.”
Erihal?
Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes as she went into deep thought.
If I recall correctly, Charles‘ mother is from Erihal. However, I’ve never heard Charles mention his mother when I was little. In fact, he never said a word about Erihal at all. Apart from those blue eyes of his, he is practically no different from your average Chanaean. Could it be that he is in contact with people from Erihal? Does he have some kind of secret that no one knows about?
“Go investigate Charles‘ mother. I want detailed information on her and all individuals from Erihal who have entered Chanaea up to six months ago.”
“Six months is too big of a range, Ms. Harris. There are far too many individuals for us to screen through, which would make it even more time–consuming. Even Mr. Asher would have a hard time conducting this investigation,” Elven replied with a conflicted look on his face.
“That’s fine. I’m in no rush, so you can take your time with this one.”
Their conversation was interrupted when Gwendolyn’s phone rang all of a sudden.
A glance at the caller ID revealed that it was a call from Cedrick.
Oh, my! I got so carried away that I ended up staying out until eight in the evening! I bet he must be missing me dearly!
A sweet smile spread across Gwendolyn’s face at the thought of that.

Instead of answering the call, however, she put her phone on silent and said to Ezra, “Turn the car around. We’ll drop by Grand Essence Restaurant before heading back to the Jenson residence.”
Right as Cedrick was on the verge of breaking down from depression, he heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
He ran toward the door as quickly as his legs could carry him and pounced on Gwendolyn the moment he saw her.
His arms were trembling as he wrapped them tightly around her waist.
Waiting for her was such an excruciating process that he felt as though he would die if she kept him waiting any longer.
Gwendolyn was so caught off guard that she had to take a few steps backward before steadying herself.
Fearing that he would cause her to spill the soup she had bought, she held it far
away from him as she said, “It’s winter today. According to tradition, we need to have some hot soup to warm ourselves up. I didn’t have time to make us soup, so I bought some from a restaurant on the way back from work. That’s why I took so long to get home.”
Cedrick buried his face in her neck and sniffed hard to take in her fragrant scent. “I don’t need soup!”
All I want is you!
Gwendolyn let out a silent sigh in response. She wanted to pat him on the back of his head, but she had both hands occupied with carrying the soup she bought.
She had no choice but to comfort him verbally instead. “All right, are you hungry? Let’s go inside and have dinner. I’ll be able to keep you company every day once I’m done with my work.”
“How much longer will you need?”
“About a few more days, I guess.”
“What is going on at Angle Corporation? Why are things so busy that you need to work this hard?” Cedrick exclaimed with displeasure written all over his face.
Gwendolyn froze for a few seconds before replying, “I recently hired a new batch of artists. We’re in the process of breaking them in at the moment. Because they’re newbies, I need to personally supervise them. On top of that, we’re also planning some new collaborations, so things are indeed pretty hectic there,”

Cedrick rested his head against her shoulder and let out a depressed sigh.
He knew that Gwendolyn valued her career very much, but he wished she would spend more time with him since he didn’t have much time left to live.
Of course, Cedrick would never voice those feelings of his out to Gwendolyn.
He would always support her no matter what her decision was.
Even if she wanted to leave him right then and there, he would not do anything to stop her from leaving.
Gwendolyn, too, was distracted thinking about Charles.
It wasn’t until she felt her back start to ache from the position they were in that she snapped out of it. “Come on, let’s go have some soup.”
Both of them were lost in their own thoughts during dinner.
After having dinner, Gwendolyn went to keep him company in his bedroom. She would always stay with him for a few hours until he fell asleep before going to bed in the next
room.
This time, however, she noticed something was off the moment she sat down on his bed. Huh? Nico would usually let me know if Cedrick has been taking his medication on time. Why haven’t I heard anything from him tonight?
“Have you taken your medication for the night?”
Cedrick tensed up briefly before replying with an awkward chuckle, “N–No…”
Those medications were bitter and barely did anything to help with his condition, so he didn’t want to take them.
“Wait here. I’ll get it ready for you.”
Gwendolyn returned a few minutes later with a gla*s of warm water and a box of pills.
“You came back really late tonight. Could you at least reward my patience by feeding me the medication?” Cedrick asked weakly,
“Sure thing.”
She sat down beside him and held the back of his head affectionately as she fed him two tablets orally,
Despite how smooth her movement was, Cedrick noticed it and frowned immediately after

swallowing the pills.
“Hey! That’s cheating, Gwenny! You need to feed me the pills one at a time!”
As Gwendolyn had been busy with work throughout the entire day, she barely had any time to rest and was hoping to get it over with sooner.
“I’d have to give you over a dozen kisses if I fed you one pill at a time! Don’t you ever get sick of that?” she snapped at him impatiently.
Cedrick’s face went pale almost instantly. “H–Have you gotten sick of it already?”
Those who are sick would often get paranoid, so I need to be more careful with
my
words…
Having noticed the change in his expression, Gwendolyn said, “Of course not! You’re so tasty that I could never get tired of kissing you, Ceddy! Come on, let’s keep those kisses going!”
She was about to give him another kiss when her phone started ringing on the nightstand.
Gwendolyn glanced at the screen and saw that it was an unknown number.
Her eyes grew cold when she realized that the number belonged to Charles.
What? Why is Charles calling me right now?
Cedrick turned around and looked at the phone.
“Who’s calling you this late at night?”
