Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 423

Evelyn looked at Norman Nixon in shock and exclaimed, “Norman?”

Her crisp voice had turned hoarse because of the chanting.

Yet, the way she called out his name melted Norman’s heart.

Even if his mother found out the truth and beat him to death, he would still think that it was worth it.

“I have gone to the town yesterday and bought two packets of drugs as per your instructions. Both William and Ezra have been drugged by me. It’s time for you to go! They have been drugged so heavily that I think they will only wake up tomorrow at noon. By then, you will have reached the town!”

Looking at his silly and honest face, Evelyn was confused.

“Your mother said that I’m a bad and vicious woman. Aren’t you worried that I will return to hurt your mother for revenge?”

Norman looked at her in the eyes and shook his head. “You are so beautiful-looking. Even after being abused, you still have such clear, bright eyes. I believe you are a good person.”

Evelyn was stumped by his words.

What clear, bright eyes? It’s only part of my acting. Fool!

I have been making use of him. Yet, he still thinks so highly of me. Such a stupid guy.

She sighed and gave Norman a hug.

“Thank you. In times of desperation, you are the only person who treats me well. I will always remember you!”

Norman was very happy to hear that from her. “Quick! It’s time to go. Once the rain stops, your track will have been washed away.”

“All right, then. See you!”

Without further ado, Evelyn turned and ran away.

Norman stared at her retreating figure while she was leaving.

In the hut, both William and Ezra had fallen into deep sleep.

Only Margaret’s paralyzed husband was protesting.

His babbling sounded extremely odd against the sound of the falling rain.

Meanwhile, Evelyn put up with the pain in her knee and was running in the woods.

Norman told her not to take the route that she had come from. It would take a lot of time and effort to use that route.

He specifically told her to follow the river and go downward until the next village.

That road was so much more smooth and bright. Once she reached the village, it would be hard to locate her.

She ran along the countryside road.

The further she got away from Margaret’s house, the more excited she became.

The days of abuse was worse than life in the prison. It was hellish.

Now, she could finally escape from the clutches of Gwendolyn!

When she saw the river that Norman was telling her, she burst out laughing. The falling rain sounded like music to her ears. It was as if the rain was celebrating her freedom!

“Gwendolyn, just wait and see. Very soon, I will come back and look for you!” she looked up and yelled at the sky.

Just then, two men appeared behind her. “Stop right there!”

Evelyn turned around in bewilderment.

The two men were holding guns and looking at her in an unfriendly manner. Quite obviously, they knew who she was.

There were not many people who were allowed to own firearms in Chanaea unless they were from the military. Are these men sent by Cedrick to keep an eye on me?

Evelyn started running like crazy.

Cedrick’s men chased after her and said, “Evelyn, you can’t get away! Stop running, or we will shoot!”

Still, Evelyn did not stop. She did not turn around either.

Once again, she had fallen into endless despair.
