Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick)
Chapter 433

When Treyton noticed that Elisha was constantly stealing glances at the rearview mirror, he cut a sharp gaze over. Immediately intimidated, Elisha lowered the partition between the front and back seats.

Whoa! I didn't see anything, nothing at all!

As soon as the partition was fully lowered, Treyton swung his hand and struck Jennifer twice more with the same force.

Ouch, it hurts so badly!

Tears welled in Jennifer's eyes. Her upper body was pinned against his lap with his hand restraining her waist, locking her in place.

She was stumped for two seconds before she belatedly snapped back to her senses. Instantly, the tears in her eyes threatened to overflow, and devastation slammed into her.

"How could you hit me, Treyton?"

Sighing, Treyton explained solemnly, "I was merely disciplining my disobedient girlfriend. It was grounded on the basis of my love for you. Since you were being unreasonable, I could only punish you in such a manner to wake you up."

"But what right do you have to punish me?" Jennifer bit her lower lip hard, her eyes stinging hotly.

Catching the hint of tears in her voice, Treyton placed his palm on her butt and gently massaged it.

"I've got the right to do so because you wanted to break up with me. But I haven't agreed to it, and you're still staying at my place now, not to mention we're still a couple." Jennifer promptly wilted. She was both mortified and irked that he was touching her in such a manner, but he had a tight grip on her waist, and she could not move an inch. At her silence, Treyton asked softly while massaging her butt, "What exactly is wrong with you, Jennifer? What have I done wrong recently that you want to break up with me?" Jennifer's eyes turned increasingly redder, an aggrieved look gradually filling them.

"Several times, you urged me to return to the Newton residence because only then can you marry me without being mocked and ridiculed by anyone as I'll have a matching family background. Treyton, do you love me or my identity as the daughter of the Newton family?"

Hearing that, Treyton was slightly taken aback.

Oh, it's because of this. Indeed, I've persuaded her about the matter multiple times previously, hoping that she'd return to the fold of the Newton family earlier and change her family name to reflect it. Because of that, we've even argued several times. Perhaps the way I spoke wasn't quite right.

He somberly mulled it over before questioning in a low voice, "Why do you hate the Newton family so much when they're your family, Jennifer?"

At that, Jennifer gave a derisive bark of laughter. "Is a cage without love a home? And are siblings without any affection for each other family? In my eyes, they can't even compare to Gwendolyn."

Some people are more than family despite being unrelated by blood. But some are even more indifferent than strangers, albeit having the same blood flowing through our veins.

She then asserted, "I don't want to return to the Newton residence in the least. I'm not happy there."

Jasmine has never welcomed me. Instead, she fervently hopes that I'll never return to the family. Craig appears to be the brother who cares most about me, but he's also the most hard-hearted and apathetic among the lot of them. He treats his family no differently from his subordinates, perpetually barking orders. Worse still, there's the secret at the top floor of the Newton residence. To me, it's a sinister and terrifying place capable of swallowing me whole.

Corralling her thoughts, she demanded, "So, we can never get married so long as I don't return to the Newton residence and announce my identity as part of the family?"

In response, Treyton heaved a sigh. "Jennifer, I don't care whether you're an orphan or the daughter of the Newton family. As long as you want to get married, I'm ready anytime. I don't care even if I become the laughingstock of the elite circles."

Helping her up, he lifted her butt and placed her astride his lap.

He cradled her face with both hands, clarifying seriously, "I kept persuading you to return to the Newton residence because I hoped you could get out of your comfort zone and try accepting your family. I know that while you appear indifferent, the matter of the Newton family is actually never far from your mind. You've never experienced familial love since young, and you were elated upon learning that you were part of the Newton family. But after you spent a few days at the Newton residence, you found it different from the family you had envisioned. You felt that you couldn't fit into the family, so you have been avoiding them. In truth, Jennifer, I hope you can face all this head-on and be truly happy. I'll also help you talk to them."

Lowering her eyes, Jennifer plunged into silent contemplation, saying nothing for a long time.

Treyton cradled the back of her head lightly, seemingly in preparation for kissing her in comfort.

Regretfully, she pushed him away.

"You're still mad at me, Jennifer?"

Nodding, Jennifer scowled at him with displeasure etched across her features. "I'll consider the matter about the Newton family, but don't mention it again before I've made up my mind." "Okay." Treyton flashed her an indulgent smile. He again cradled the back of her head to kiss her.

Once more, Jennifer shoved him away.

"What's wrong? Are you still displeased? Haven't I agreed to your terms already?" Treyton was bewildered, looking all innocent.

Snorting, Jennifer huffed with an icy expression on her face, "How dare you spank me? You went overboard. The mere thought of it spikes my temper."

Treyton's expression stiffened for a moment. Having no other choice, he could only coax gently, "What do you want, then? You can punish me as you see fit."

For once, a wicked gleam glinted in Jennifer's limpid and innocent eyes.

"I'll only be appeased if you let me hit you back!"

Treyton immediately went silent.

After wavering for two seconds, he finally relented. Grasping her hand, he brought it to his face. "I hit you thrice earlier, but you can hit me ten times if you want to." Unexpectedly, Jennifer declined haughtily, "I've got no interest in your face. I want to hit you where you hit me earlier!"

This time, words eluded Treyton.

In the front seat, Elisha's eyes went wide in shock.

Good Lord! What kind of scandalous conversation am I having a front-row seat to? Would Mr. Treyton really consent to a girl spanking him?

For some inexplicable reason, a sense of anticipation flooded him.

As he drove, he perked his ears up for movement from the back seat.

In truth, Treyton was strongly against the idea.

Moreover, someone was eavesdropping on them. As a man who had great power and authority in the entertainment industry, he could not possibly allow himself to be spanked by his own girlfriend.

He cajoled softly, "Be good, Darling. When we get home later, you can punish me differently, okay? I'll let you have your way with me."

In consideration of Elisha in the front seat, Jennifer decided to remain silent and ignore him.

In no time, the vehicle came to a stop in front of the villa. Swinging open the car door, Treyton carried her into the house. He decided to use the most direct method to placate her.

What am I to do when my girlfriend is throwing a tantrum? Bed her. If that doesn't work, I'll do it twice!

Late at night, the welcome baby party at Harrick Villa started drawing to an end.

The twins were already sound asleep. Zoey had taken them into the nursery while Cedrick was ordered to keep them company.

As Gwendolyn entertained the guests, she seized the opportunity to secure a multinational collaboration for Harris Group.

The collaboration was a huge undertaking that spanned a long time. It was a recommendation by a close acquaintance, but subsequent negotiations were still needed to seal the deal. Smiling gracefully, she negotiated with the other party.

Cedrick walked out of the villa and took her hand from the back. Interlocking his fingers with hers, he entertained the remaining guests with her. Gwendolyn did not comment on that. Thanks to his presence, the negotiation with the big shots in the business industry went even smoother.

It was only when they had all left that she abruptly remembered a problem.

"Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the twins with Mdm. Yarde?" Cedrick
