Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757 I Cannot Reach Her

The Newton siblings had been waiting in the dining room at the Newton residence for Whitney for a long while.

Yet, she still hadn't returned for dinner.

Jasmine lightly furrowed her eyebrows. “Did you not pick up Whitney today, Charles? Why hasn't she come back?”

Charles' countenance turned grim. “I had something to take care of today, so I returned home ahead of time.”

“That's where you're wrong. What could be more important than picking up your wife from work?” Lucas was dissatisfied with Charles' answer.

Jasmine added, “It hasn't been long since Whitney joined the Newton family, Charles. She isn't familiar with this area. Maybe she got lost while trying to come back?”

Charles stared at his watch with a grave expression and said nothing.

The siblings waited for another twenty minutes.

Seeing that Whitney still hadn't returned and the sky was turning dark, Jasmine panicked. “You have crossed the line this time, Charles. You didn't pick up your wife from work, and she still isn't back home yet. The food is getting cold, yet you don't seem to be worried at all.”

Once again, Charles looked at his watch quietly.

Jasmine took out her phone and called Whitney. “Charles, her phone is off. I can't reach her. Did something happen to her?”

After glancing at the sky outside, Lucas said, “It's getting dark pretty fast today. Looks like it's about to rain. If it does, Whitney will have an even harder time returning home.”

Unable to sit still any longer, Charles rose to his feet and strode out of the dining room.

Immediately, Jasmine followed him, wanting to search for Whitney with him.

However, Lucas stopped her. “Don't go and make things worse. It looks like they've had an argument. Let them deal with it themselves.”

True. Jasmine sat back down and stared at the rain outside the window worriedly.

The rain was getting heavier by the minute, and the sky was dark.

Holding an umbrella, Charles set off from the Newton residence to search for Whitney.

He didn't drive his car or bring his bodyguards with him. He only had his phone.

During his journey, he hoped Whitney's familiar figure would appear in his sight, but it didn't.

If I can't find Whitney today, I'll have to call the cops.

He looked at his watch, unknowingly walking faster.

He strode along the path away from the Newton residence for ten minutes. Unfortunately, he still didn't see anyone with the help of the streetlights.

This isn't going to work.

He pulled out his phone and called Isaac.

Isaac was stunned. “Mrs. Newton hasn't returned? How can that be? She left the office not long after work.”

“Tell me everything that happened before she left,” Charles demanded.

“I saw Mrs. Newton waiting for you in the underground parking lot, so I approached her and told her you wouldn't be picking her up. Then, I offered her a ride home, but she refused. The last time I saw her was when she left the building on the ground floor.”

If she left from the ground floor, she either took a taxi or bus home. Given her financial situation, she would most likely take the bus. How stupid! Charles was irritated. Why did she have to take the bus when she could've arrived home in a comfortable car? Does she not have a brain?

“Check which bus she took immediately! I want to know the routes she'll most likely take to return to the Newton residence!”

“Understood,” said Isaac before he went to carry out his task.

Minutes later, Charles received Isaac's reply.

Isaac clearly listed the three bus routes connected to the subway Whitney had most likely taken to return home.
