Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 776

Chapter 776 First Love Or Wife

To test his theory, Charles drove in the opposite direction according to the result he obtained.

Despite having the utmost trust in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's investigation skills and Cedrick's discoveries, Charles wanted to test the reliability of Dark Netz's information.

Moreover, the person who sold him the information provided detailed insight into Gwendolyn's situation, compelling Charles to seriously consider its validity.

He yearned for a chance to be with her, if only once.

On the road, Charles couldn't shake the thought of Gwendolyn's smile. Despite the risks, he was determined to give it a try, even if it meant jeopardizing his own safety on this journey.

Charles' heart raced, and he felt inexplicably nervous.

At the height of his sensitivity, his phone rang.

It was a call from Whitney.

After Gwendolyn's disappearance, Charles had not returned to the Newton residence for many days.

Despite Whitney's efforts to reach out through texts and calls, Charles never responded to any of them.

After the phone call ended, Charles' scattered thoughts settled, and his determination to find Gwendolyn only intensified.

However, he received a call from Jasmine immediately after.

He chose not to answer the call either. Once the phone stopped ringing, the Bluetooth system in his car automatically played the voicemail.

Jasmine's voice played through the voicemail, scolding, “Charles, where have you been? You just got married, but you left your wife alone at home and won't return. No husband should behave like you.”

Her criticisms annoyed Charles slightly.

As Charles was about to reject the call, Jasmine continued, “Whitney is ill. She had stomach flu and was in loads of pain. Lucas and I sent her to the hospital for emergency treatment. She hasn't been discharged yet and is still receiving an IV drip. Are you not going to visit her, Charles?”

She's fallen ill? How did fall sick when she's only been at home?

Charles stared ahead silently, but Jasmine's words began to make him waver.

In the voicemail, Jasmine sighed heavily. “Charles, I'm running out of excuses for your absence. It's fine if you don't care about sending your sick wife to the hospital, but you've been away for days and won't reply to messages. What could possibly be more important than your wife's health?”

Charles immediately tightened his grip on the steering wheel and slowly pressed the brake. The luxury car slowed down on the road, but he didn't come to a complete stop.

Undeniably, he hesitated.

He considered the possibility that Cedrick had already found Gwendolyn and apprehended the culprit in Quawak. Perhaps his trip would be in vain, and the person who sold him the information could have deceived him with false details.

Amidst his doubts, Charles couldn't ignore the chance that the information might be true. It presented a perfect opportunity for him to save Gwendolyn if he acted on it.

Charles couldn't ignore the chance to rescue Gwendolyn and possess her as his own. The possibility, no matter how slight, compelled him to try.

Overwhelmed by his dilemma, Charles found it hard to breathe. He pulled over to the side of the road, giving himself a moment of respite, and fell into deep contemplation.

Charles considered the possibility of continuing forward and silently finding Gwendolyn. Even if it ended in failure, he believed it would provide closure to the decade of feelings he held for her.

Nevertheless, he couldn't ignore the responsibility he had toward his arranged marriage with Whitney. Her illness made it all the more crucial for him to be there for her as a husband.

As dusk approached, the red sky reflected off Charles' conflicted blue eyes.

Time was running out.

Charles clenched the steering wheel firmly, then loosened his grip before tightening them again, the repetitive motion mirroring the turmoil inside him.

In the end, Charles took a deep breath and made a resolute decision. He slammed on the accelerator, his gaze filled with determination and obsession.

Upon arriving in Quawak, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's team wasted no time. They immediately launched a large-scale search operation in the area, meticulously conducting a census and registering the identity of every resident.

Cedrick refused to remain idle and decided to search for the old fisherman at the creek bank.
