Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 437

Kieran found a closed shop with shelter by the roadside and took shelter from the heavy rain.

He roughly estimated the distance to the Mossey residence and the distance back to the hotel and realized that the time required for both routes was almost the same.

He decided to go all out and dashed into the rain.

After running for an hour in the rain, he still hadn’t reached the Mossey residence.

He had checked the navigation twice before heading out, but he ended up relying on his memory because the sky was too dark. In the end, he got lost, not knowing which street he had taken the wrong turn on.

It was three or four in the morning, and there wasn’t a single car or person on the street.

He could neither go back to the hotel nor find the Mossey residence.

He stood alone in the rain helplessly.

Ironically, he was actually miserable now because his plan to play the victim didn’t turn out as he wanted.

Salinsburgh was as peaceful as any other day the next morning. The sun was shining brightly in the sky.

After finishing breakfast, Jennifer called Craig nervously.

The moment the call connected, Craig spoke before she could say anything. “Have you thought it through?”

Jennifer took a deep breath. “Yes. I’m willing to move back to the Newton residence.”

Craig chuckled lightly, seemingly in a good mood. “It’s good that you’ve come to your senses. Send me your address. I’ll have the driver come pick you up.”

“It’s okay. No need to trouble yourself. Treyton will drive me there.”

Craig’s voice turned cold on the other end of the phone. “You are a member of the Newton family. It’s only natural to take the Newton family’s car, not Treyton’s.”

Jennifer was puzzled. “What’s wrong with that? Treyton is my boyfriend now. It’s only right for him to drive me there.”

Craig fell silent for a moment. “Listen to me, Jennifer. Pack up and wait obediently. I’ll send the driver to pick you up.”

Jennifer didn’t respond.

She was in a daze when Treyton took her phone from her side.

“No one will dare to say anything if I drive Jennifer there, Mr. Craig. Although she’s a celebrity, no one will dare to report us even if we’re caught on camera given my influence in the entertainment industry.” His deep voice sounded colder than before. “Or do you look down on me, Mr. Craig? Do you look down on the Harris family?”

Craig snorted. “Of course not.”

In the end, Craig gave in and allowed Treyton to send Jennifer to the Newton residence.

When they hung up the phone, both Jennifer’s and Treyton’s expressions turned grim.

“Craig has strong control tendencies, and he’s a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Try not to let him lead you by the nose when you’re with him,” Treyton said. “But don’t be too confrontational either. After all, he’s the one in control of the Newton family. Gwendolyn and I have no say in matters concerning the Newton family.”

Just as he finished speaking, he realized something from the pensive expression on Jennifer’s face.

“Um… Is it inappropriate for me to badmouth your brother to your face?”

Jennifer was amused by his slow reaction. “Regardless of whether it’s appropriate or not, you’ve already said it. You can’t take back your words, can you?”

“You’re right.” Treyton felt a little awkward, but he quickly regained his composure. “But I know you won’t mind.”

Jennifer pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. “Yes, I don’t mind.”

After packing a few belongings, they left the villa together, got into a car, and headed to the Newton residence.

The closer they got to the Newton residence, the more uneasy Treyton felt. He gripped Jennifer’s hand.

“Jennifer, you mustn’t be too hasty even if you want to investigate the incident on the top floor. Craig will definitely be on guard since you’ve been there once. You should obey his rules for a few days first until he let down his guard a little before making any plans.”

Jennifer nodded. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

Still concerned, Treyton reminded, “If anything happens, just shout for help. The people that I arrange to stand guard outside the Newton residence will rush in to find you no matter what. I will come right away too.”
