Chapter 299 Asking For It

Gwendolyn felt a lump in her throat.

He had changed his clothes earlier, but at least he was still wearing his underwear.

Gwendolyn could feel her heart pound.

Taking a bath means he will have to be naked! I can’t guarantee that a pervert like myself can holdback!

She was trying to come up with an excuse to refuse when Cedrick said, “It’s just a bath. I’ll feel horribleif you don’t agree, Gwenny. My chest is going to hurt again!”

He appeared melancholy as he spoke, pouting and holding his hand over his chest.

Gwendolyn sighed helplessly. Ever since it became impossible for him to hide his disease, Cedrickbecame more and more at ease playing the pitiful card.

Frustratingly, Gwendolyn would fall for it from time to time.

“Stop acting already. I’ll get the bath ready.”

The man smirked, having gotten his way.

Gwendolyn went into the bathroom and increased the temperature of the heater. She filled the tub withwater and added the body wash to it.

Once everything was warm and prepared, Gwendolyn shouted, “You can come in now! The bath isready.““”

Cedrick strode into the bathroom. He was wearing the new cotton robe Gwendolyn had bought him.

The woman tested the water temperature again, and it was just nice.

Turning back, she saw Cedrick still standing there blankly like a blockhead.

“Why aren’t you taking off your clothes?”

He raised his arm a little, and his fingers hung limply. With a piteous look, he said, “I don’t havestrength in my arms…”

“Oh! Look at how delicate you’re acting!” Gwendolyn’s face darkened, and she stripped him naked thenext instant. “I’ll spoil you now since you’re sick. Go on and continue with your act, then. Just you wait.We’ll see what happens once you’re all well,” she said through gritted teeth.

Cedrick slumped weakly against her when he heard that. With his chin on her shoulder, he said feebly,“You’re being mean to me. I might not get well any time soon…”

“Shut up!”

Gwendolyn glared at him.

The man hissed in pain as he buried his face in her shoulder, quietly swallowing the bitterness he wasfeeling.

Gwendolyn straightened him up and held his face in her hands. “I’m here, Cedrick. You mustn’t haveany thoughts of giving up on your life no matter what!” she emphasized with a serious look in her eyes.

I’ll make sure he lives healthily. I don’t care what I have to do to achieve that.

Cedrick felt dejected.

Sensing his sorrow, Gwendolyn pressed a kiss on his lips and said, “I know how amazing you are. Whydon’t you prove it to me once you’re all better?”

He didn’t say a thing, but at least he felt a little better than before.

Gwendolyn helped him into the tub filled with bubbly water and wet his shoulders and neck, coveringhis honey–colored skin with foam.

“Stay in here for fifteen minutes. I’ll come and scrub your back later.”

She dried her hands with a towel and tried to leave, but Cedrick grabbed hold of her wrist and pulledher toward him.

“It’ll only be warm if we bathe together.”

Gwendolyn was not prepared for his strength and fell behind into the tub.

With Cedrick’s hand acting as a buffer, Gwendolyn didn’t cause a huge splash when she fell into thewater.

However, the water in the tub started to overflow since there were two people in the tub now.

Gwendolyn looked down at her silk robe, now soaking wet. She gritted her teeth and glared at him.

“Cedrick! You’re really asking for it, aren’t you?”

Cedrick leaned backward lazily and rested his hands on the sides of the bathtub, his legs wide open.

He had a look on his face that seemed to say, “I’m waiting for you to teach me a lesson.”

“Being able to be taught a lesson in the bathroom by you is romantic in its own way, Gwenny.”

Cedrick raised a brow and had a sly smirk on his face as he spoke.

However, Gwendolyn merely rolled her eyes at him.

Has he really no shame?

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Cedrick looked down and pinched his abs.

He confirmed that he still had them, and they were eight–pack abs too.

Then why…

Cedrick felt a little aggrieved. “Gwenny, I still taste as good as before. You’ve been abstinent for solong. Don’t you want a taste of it?”

Mist rose from the tub, giving his face a dewy glow.

His firm honey–colored body was covered in bubbles. Water droplets dotted his eyelashes as he staredat Gwendolyn with eyes full of expectation.

Not wanting to look at him, Gwendolyn shut her eyes close and took a deep breath.

I knew he’d start feeling restless the moment he got the chance. I shouldn’t have agreed to help himbathe. I almost fell for his tricks again!

She kept reminding herself about the situation at hand.

Cedrick is sick! He’s sick! He’s sick! I can’t touch him! I must not tarnish him!

Cedrick didn’t stay idle either while she took deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.

His hands that were hidden under the foam slowly made their way toward Gwendolyn, wandering,stroking, and teasing her.

Gwendolyn’s eyelashes quivered. Her ears reddened as he continued to tease her.

She tolerated him as much as she could, and she just couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Cedrick! Should I break those restless hands of yours?”

Gwendolyn turned around and took the wooden bath brush from the shelves. Fury burned in her eyesas she glared at him threateningly.

Ten minutes passed, and the air in the bathroom turned foggy from the hot water. The atmospherearound them had become a little unusual.

Gwendolyn put down the wooden brush and let out a heavy sigh.

She had just given Cedrick a beating, and he was finally behaving. She could finally be at ease.

However, Cedrick did not feel as good as she did.

He stared at his swollen and red palms and carefully blew on them.

Gwendolyn merely took a cold glance at his hands and went back to scrubbing his back.

This was the first time she had not comforted Cedrick after giving him corporal punishment.

Frustration brewed in his chest, making him feel extremely unpleasant.

Refusing to accept his fate, Cedrick raised his arms slightly to show Gwendolyn his palms with anaggrieved look in his eyes.

He was silently complaining that he was in pain.

A scowl appeared on Gwendolyn’s face. She acted as if she didn’t understand him and glared at him.“Did you not have enough? Should I give you another twenty hits?”

With that said, the woman acted as though she was about to grab the brush.

Cedrick instantly retracted his arms and hid them under the water. He then obediently lowered his headand stayed motionless.

A horde of emotions tormented him at that moment.

Why can’t I win against her? Now, of all times?

Gwendolyn had no idea what he was thinking, but she was relieved to see that he wasn’t feelingrestless anymore.

It really is better when he’s acting all obedient like this.

When she was done scrubbing his back, Gwendolyn cast a glance at the shampoo beside them. Shesqueezed some of it into her hands, lathered it, and spread it in Cedrick’s hair.

She was rough with her hands while she shampooed his hair.

“Be gentle,” Cedrick said with a frown.

His words displeased Gwendolyn. “You’re even ordering me around now? This is the only option youhave. Forget it if you don’t like it!”

“All right, all right…”

Cedrick had no choice but to hold back his frustrations and endure her uncomfortable strength,allowing her to
