The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 582

Gwyneth wasn’t really paying attention, but she pretended to care as she dangled the keys in her hand. “Alright, I’ll give you a ride.”

Chris glared at her, fuming, and muttered under his breath that she was hopelessly naïve.

Men—never any good. He was just about to say something when Victoria quickly reached over and clamped a hand over her son’s mouth. “Go on, have fun,” she said with a sunny smile.

Chris rolled his eyes so hard they nearly stuck, and Celia huffed in indignation. What was the big deal anyway? It was just a fitted dress—so what if Great-Grandpa hadn’t seen one before? Now the two of them were bought off, utterly shameless.

Gwyneth let go of Hawthorne’s hand and said softly, “I’ll go change clothes and bring the car around. Wait here for me.”

Hawthorne’s reply was calm. “Alright.”

He was used to being driven around Greenvale by chauffeurs, but he’d never been in a car with a woman at the wheel—let alone in the passenger seat beside Gwyneth. Not even Leonie had sat there before.

He waited on the front steps for a few minutes, then the sound of a sports car engine tore through the evening quiet, drawing nearer.

Hawthorne glanced up, his dark eyes instantly drawn to the woman in the driver’s seat.

Gwyneth rested one hand casually on the steering wheel, the other tucking a wind-blown strand of hair behind her ear. The sun caught her bare arm, turning her skin almost luminous. The sunset splashed vibrant red and gold across her, and with her naturally wavy hair and the tiny beauty mark at the corner of her upturned eye, she looked irresistibly wild and alluring.

Hawthorne’s breath caught. Gwyneth always seemed more mature and composed than Leonie, even though they were the same age, but he hadn’t expected this daring, untamed side of her.

He’d watched Victoria race in Formula One back in the day, but drivers then were always hidden beneath layers of gear—their faces impossible to see. Gwyneth, on the other hand, was dazzling and untamed, impossible to ignore.
