Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 854

Isaac hesitated, then sent someone to deliver Whitney’s belongings to her room before he explained the whole story to her.

When Charles jumped into the sea, all Isaac heard was the sound. He had no idea when Charles had jumped, let alone where Charles had been shot.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Newton. I was under anesthesia at that time. As for Mr. Newton… I’m not. sure about his condition.” Isaac lowered his head in frustration.

If he had been able to save Charles in time, everything would’ve been fine.

Whitney sat dazedly in the chair, completely at a loss.

She had thought that coming there would allow her to see the person she had been longing. for. Yet, reality dealt her a harsh blow. Not only did she not meet him, but his fate remained unknown to that day.

“Isaac, I want to go find him,” she said.

Seeing the red veins in Whitney’s eyes, Isaac knew she hadn’t been resting well the days.

“Mrs. Newton, now that Mr. Newton has gone missing, please stay here and rest. If you were to collapse again, I truly wouldn’t have the energy to cope.”

“All right.”

To avoid causing trouble for Isaac, Whitney had no choice but to sit down.

Nightfall came late in Muprary. The local time showed nine o’clock, yet it was only just getting dark.

Whitney sat by the window, remaining there for a full three hours.

Her phone suddenly vibrated. She quickly unlocked the screen, only to find out that the message was just an entertainment news update.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, she tossed her phone aside. Suddenly, it occurred to her that she could reach out to her friends there.

Even a dragon would find it hard to control a snake in its old haunt. Whitney had a friend working there whom she hadn’t contacted in a long time. Although she was not sure if they still remembered her, it was worth giving it a try

After all, having someone familiar with Muprary assisting in the investigation would simplify things considerably.

Whitney quickly grabbed the phone she had tossed aside, found the person’s name, and dialed their number.

Surprisingly, the call connected quickly. “How rare for you to call me. What’s up?”

Whitney’s voice was tinged with unmistakable urgency as she said, “Lenny, can I ask a favor?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I… I’m currently in Muprary, and my… A friend of mine has gone missing in these waters. Can I ask for your help to find him?”

Lenny spoke softly to comfort. “All right, send me his name and photo. I’ll have someone keep an eye out for him. Don’t worry.”

The two of them chatted a little longer but Whitney really wasn’t in the mood for further conversation, so she ended the call.

The wait was always the hardest part.

Three days passed, and It was as if Charles had evaporated into thin air without a trace.

Isaac had already mobilized all of the Newton family’s resources, conducting a thorough search of that sea area, but still came up empty-handed. Even Lenny had no new news.

Without any news about Charles, Whitney lost all her appetite. She had noticeably slimmed down over the past few days.

The housekeepers delivered the food to the door, but she couldn’t eat it.

Isaac looked at the worryingly thin Whitney and pleaded, “Mrs. Newton, you really should eat something. If Mr. Newton returns and sees you like this, he will be worried.”

Whitney shook her head. “You go ahead with your work, Isaac. Don’t worry about me. Finding him is what matters.”

With every minute that passed, the anxiety in Whitney’s heart increased. She couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened. “Isaac, can I be left alone, please?”

Seeing Whitney in that state, Isaac sighed. It didn’t feel right for him to stay any longer, so he turned around and left

The moment the door closed, Jasmine’s video call came in unexpectedly Whitney quickly straightened up and switched the video call to voice answer.

She didn’t want Jasmine to also worry about Charles’ disappearance.
