My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 1069

Nelson thought that he needed to have a long talk with Monique in order to persuade her to let him drive.

However, she simply agreed to it without consideration for too long. It was probably due to the fact that they were running out of time.

Soon, the group of people quickly got into the car and left.

It was Rosaville City's annual international marathon. As early as a few months ago, people in Rosaville City had already begun to prepare for it.

The route of the marathon included the main roads of Rosaville City, from the center of the city to some famous tourist attractions in Rosaville City.

Even if no obstacles were being set on the roads, there were still many people.

There were a lot of tourists, spectators, participants and their families along the way.

Their car gradually was unable to move anymore because of the congestion caused by the crowd.

Nelson was forbearing, but the rest of the people in the car were impatient.

"D*mn it, these roads are not even in the route for the marathon! Why are there so many people here? If it goes on like this, when can we arrive at the airport?"

Nelson remained silent while Frida was explaining it to them.

"Such an amount of crowds is actually quite normal whenever there's a grand event in the city."

Nelson gave a suggestion, "How about we make a detour?"

Monique, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned her head to look at him after hearing what he said.

"Which way to go?"

Not replying immediately, he pretended to think for a while.

Then, he answered, "There should be a way for us to pass at East Fortune Road."

"Fortune Road? Isn't that the route for this marathon? There are a lot of police officers over there. Are you planning to kill us?"

One of Monique's subordinates at the back seat, Jim, reprimanded Nelson angrily.

Upon hearing that, the rest of the people in the car were also staring at him with hostility, saying, "What are you trying to do?"

He replied calmly, "Of course I know that. In actual fact, South Fortune Road is the starting point of the marathon. East Fortune Road happens to be in the opposite direction, and it's excluded in the marathon route."

"That should be the best way for us to escape."

Before he finished his words, an objection had been raised by the person sitting behind him, Jim.

"Even if that's the case, it's still very dangerous. What if we get caught?"

Monique furrowed her brow. Meanwhile, Frida agreed with Nelson by saying, "In fact, I think Mr. Luther's words may be right!"

"You know nothing! You two are in this together, aren't you?"

After being scolded, she immediately shut up.

"Stop quarreling!" Monique interrupted them.

"I think what Nelson said makes sense. Now that there's such a crowd here, it's hard to say if we'll be able to get out before night. We must get to the airport no matter what."

As Monique had made her decision, Jim no longer dared to retort again.

Only then did Monique turn around and speak to

Nelson.

"Let's go!"

He nodded, made a turn, and headed towards East Fortune Road.

At the same time, Naomi arrived at the building of Inchee Group.

The whole company had been closed down, and no one could be seen there.

"Could it be that we guessed wrong?"

Charlie wondered so.

Naomi walked around. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and said, "Let's have a look at the basement!"

She once heard a legendary story of Rosaville City. In fact, it was the story of her parents. When Amos had been missing, Eudora had searched for him for a long time but still failed to find him.

In the end, she had discovered that he was just near her.

He was in the company's basement.

They made a dart for the basement. The security door of the basement was unlocked and there were traces of lock-picking on it.

Everyone instantly exchanged looks and separated from each other to have a look around the area inside the basement.

The children were arranged by the teachers to stand on both sides of the road and be the cheerleaders.

Nelson had failed to consider the children in his previous plan. It was not until he saw them that he realized the possibility that they might get hurt if a conflict happened.

Nelson began to hesitate.

He was thinking whether he should think of other ways.

As he was deep in thought, he did not notice that a student was suddenly dashing towards their car for no reason.

When the student came close, he hurriedly turned the steering wheel in response.

With a sizzle, the car made a big turn and careered into the guard rail.

Several of Monique's subordinates were shocked. If the car hit the guardrail, it was likely that they couldn't go forward anymore.

Jim stood up right away.

He shouted, "Quick, turn to the right!"

When Nelson looked to the right, he saw that there was a group of students being led across the road by a teacher. If he were to swerve over, there would definitely be casualties.

He didn't say a word, and the people behind him grew anxious.

Jim said furiously, "You want to kill us, don't you? I'm telling you to turn right, now!"

As he instructed Nelson, he got up and grabbed the steering wheel from behind.

Obviously, Nelson wouldn't allow him to do so. The two of them began to fight over it soon.

Consequently, the car made another turn in the middle of the road, and then hurtled towards a little boy.

The little boy seemed to be three or four years old, a kindergarten student. His eyes were big and he looked incredibly pure.

At that time, he was walking forward alone with his short legs adorably.

At the sight of that, Nelson's heart skipped a beat. He desperately tried to break free from Jim, but he failed to do so.

He couldn't help but swear, "F*ck! Let me go!"

At that critical moment, a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from the side to push Jim away.
