The Favorite

Charles stopped sipping on his coffee abruptly. His long lashes concealed his eyes and emotions.

Gwendolyn pretended not to notice his displeasure and continued provoking him. “In Chanaea, you’re
just the fourth son of the influential Newton family. But here, who are you? Why should I trust that you
can get me the antidote?”

Charles sipped on his coffee calmly before putting his coffee cup down. “I’m nothing here, but my
mother is the crown princess of the country.”

Gwendolyn was startled to hear his answer. She assumed he would hide his identity instead of
revealing it to her honestly.

He continued, “You’ve just arrived, so you don’t know the situation in Erihal well. My mother is the only
elder sister of the king, and she’s well–respected here. As she had never participated in my upbringing,
she feels guilty and promises to fulfill a wish of mine. It is pretty easy for me to get the antidote.”

Gwendolyn analyzed the situation calmly. “Your mother refused to return to Chanaca with your father
and marry him. Was it because she was the crown princess and couldn’t leave?”

Charles‘ expression grew stern. “No, she was already engaged to marry someone else back then.”

Realization dawned on Gwendolyn. “If that’s the case, your mother must have been married and had
children with her husband. She can make you a promise, but I doubt her husband would agree to it if
he found out.”



Charles scowled unhappily. “I told you my identity because you’ll marry me one day, so I want to be
honest with you. If you insist on questioning me further and intend to sow discord, I don’t think we
should continue talking about it.”

He got mad already?

Gwendolyn was surprised to hear that.

It looks like Charles isn’t on good terms with the crown princess‘ husband. Perhaps there is where I
should start.

“If you refuse to answer me, forget it.”

Gwendolyn quickly changed the topic. “I’ve never been to a real Epean–style palace. I’m curious to see
what it’s like. It’s quite boring to stay here, so when will you be available to show me around?”

“No problem,” Charles agreed. “You must be tired after the plane ride, so get some rest. Tomorrow, I’ll
arrange for you to visit the palace and meet my mother. Ever since she learned about our upcoming
marriage, she’s been eager to meet you.”

Feeling repulsed by his constant talk about marriage, Gwendolyn abruptly asked him to leave.

“It’s late, and I think you should be off. I won’t ask you to stay for dinner.”

“Yes, I do need to leave. You know me well, Gwen!”

Charles smirked and picked up his coat. “Have a good rest tonight, and I’ll see you tomorrow. Oh, by
the way, remember to call me Vidar Lund here.”

Gwendolyn didn’t bother to reply or get up to see him out.

Charles wasn’t expecting her to do so. He spun on his heels and headed to the door.

Suddenly, he recalled something and turned over his shoulder curiously. “Jonah told me you brought a
bodyguard with you. We’ve been chatting for a while, but he hasn’t shown up. Where is he?”

“He’s not accustomed to the climate here, being his first trip overseas. He’s been experiencing
symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea all day, so he’s currently resting in his room,” she explained.

Charles nodded as he thought of something.

Gwendolyn poured herself some coffee and looked up to realize Charles was still around.

In fact, he was standing right in front of her.

Confused, Gwendolyn asked, “Do you want some coffee?”

Charles chuckled aloud and pointed at his left cheek. “Before leaving, I’d like to get a kiss from you.”

Gwendolyn pinned him with a withering stare as fury blazed in her chest.

Without hesitation, she flung the contents of her coffee cup onto his face..

“Does that wake you up? I have a whole pot of coffee here if that isn’t enough! I can also boil a pot of
hot water to wash your face!” she snapped.



Instead of getting furious, Charles seemed to be enjoying it. “The coffee you drank smells great
instead!”

Gwendolyn’s last shred of sanity was about to break under his constant frivolous words. She dug her
nails into her palms and hollered, “Scram!”

“All right. I’ll take my leave now.”

Charles quickly grabbed some napkins to wipe away the coffee from his face before walking away,
appearing somewhat satisfied.

“Gwen, you’re a hot–tempered beauty, huh? My love for you only intensifies with each passing day!” he
proclaimed with a haughty laugh. After he opened the door, he strode out of the house.

“Charles Newton, you’re nothing but a p*rvert!” Gwendolyn growled between gritted teeth./

She tossed her coffee cup at the door, but Charles happened to close the door and didn’t get hit.

The cup crashed onto the door and broke into pieces upon impact.

Soon, the sound of the car engine was heard, and Charles‘ laughter faded away

Gwendolyn summoned the maid Charles assigned to her.

“Replace the couch covers and the coffee set. Clean every nook and cranny of the living room
thoroughly. I want you to get rid of the disgusting stench belonging to your Mr. Lund!”

The maid was taken aback by the request, as she hadn’t anticipated that the reason for cleaning the
house was due to Gwendolyn’s dislike for her employer.

After giving that order, Gwendolyn didn’t feel like staying in the living room. She zoomed upstairs and
knocked on Nico’s door.

The maid was downstairs, so she deliberately said loudly, “It’s me. Are you feeling better? Let me
check on you since you can’t get used to the climate here.”

The door was opened.

A man’s weak voice rang out. “Come in, Ms. Gwendolyn. I puked twice a while ago.”

“That won’t do. I’m heading to the palace with Mr. Lund tomorrow. If you’re ill, how are you going to
protect me?”

Their conversation cut off abruptly as the door was shut.

Turning around, the maid focused on clearing the broken cup pieces and cleaning the living room.

Upstairs, Nico gestured for Gwendolyn to remain quiet as he locked the door carefully and switched off
the listening devices beneath his bed.

After doing that, he asked softly, “You’re going to the palace tomorrow? Do you have a plan in mind?”

Gwendolyn nodded. “We’ll go check the palace out. You will have to…”

They began dividing their workload for tomorrow.

The following day, a hacking cough could be heard from the master bedroom at Harrick Villa.

Despite drinking ginger tea last night, Cedrick still caught a cold.



Sitting on the edge of the bed, Treyton applied a cooling patch to his forehead while complaining,
“Cedrick, you’re such a delicate person. The Harris boys are here to take care of you when you’re sick.
It seems like you’re our favorite, huh?”

Clenching his jaw in frustration, Treyton glared at the man standing at the end of the bed. There were
dark circles around his eyes, showing that he didn’t sleep well last night.

Asher was leaning on the wall at the end of the bed, his expression dark. There was a dangerous air
about him.

Kieran stood with his back to the bed, facing Gwendolyn’s dressing table. He had removed her makeup
products and replaced them with his drugs.

He was focused on formulating the medicine, his face devoid of emotions.

The room resonated with Asher’s anger, accompanied by Cedrick’s incessant coughs.

Asher soon broke the silence. “Cedrick, you’re getting more annoying by the day. If it wasn’t for Kiddo, I
would’ve killed you ages ago!”

As Cedrick coughed, he chuckled aloud. “Do you need me to hand you a knife? You can kill me now.
Do you have the guts to do that?” he sneered.

Fury tore through Asher when he heard Cedrick’s provoking words. He spun on his heels and strode
out of the room looking angry.

Thinking he had departed in a fit of anger, Treyton muttered under his breath, “Why did you have to say
that? Do you want your brother–in–law to turn against your relationship?”

Cedrick continued coughing and said nothing.

Barely two minutes later, Asher returned with a feather duster which he got from the living room.

His eyes flared with anger as he declared, “I can’t kill you, but that won’t stop me from beating you up
to vent my fury!”
