Chapter 147 Sudden Change Of Route
*Alexander always wanted to find Mr. Joseph,” Julian told Annalise. “It’s not just him, everyone in Jadeborough also wants to know.” He guessed as much that Alexander had his suspicions about Annalise’s identity, so he followed her. How smart! Annalise looked at Julian and said, “Let’s go somewhere else to have fun.”
Mr. Joseph Quigley would personally be attending the medical conference next month. When the time comes, his days would no longer be peaceful. It would not be easy to live in seclusion again. However, before Mr. Joseph Quigley attended the conference, she would never allow his whereabouts to be revealed. If Alexander Parks and Abigail Barton wanted to find out Mr. Joseph Quigley’s whereabouts through her, then they must be dreaming.
Julian Parks happily agreed and handed his phone to Annalise Barton. “There’s a strawberry garden here, a farmhouse. Why don’t we head there?” He had been well-prepared to accompany Annalise wherever. “Sure!” Annalise Barton agreed.
It had been a long time since they picked strawberries. Julian Parks pointed to another dot on the phone map and said, “After picking strawberries, let’s head here to watch the sunrise.” “Okay.” Annalise Barton was looking forward to it. Back when she returned to the mountains to pick herbs, the longest she stayed was half a month.
During that stay of half a month, she caught the sunrise almost every morning from the mountains. However, there was no one by her side at that time. The two of them changed their route at the last minute. They didn’t go to the market and went straight to the strawberry garden instead.
Abigail Barton flew for a few hours yesterday to rush back to Horington. Earlier in the morning today. Alexander Parks brought her to contact the person in charge of the big malls. They had been running around the whole morning without stopping to rest.
The next mall was more than half an hour away by car. Just the car ride alone was exhausting enough for her. She rubbed her waist and said, “It’s finally over. We get to rest well tonight.” It was already past one in the afternoon. They hadn’t even eaten lunch.
Her phone rang. It was her mother, Bethany Langdon. She said in a coquettish tone, “Mom, we’re almost there. You can start cooking. We are going to rest after eating and taking a shower. It’s been exhausting.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Bethany Langdon said on the phone, “Okay, okay. Baby, you’ve worked hard. I called you to ask where you are. I’ll get started on cooking now.” Alexander Parks sat beside Abigail Barton and listened to her tone while she was on the phone with her mother. He felt a chill and goosebumps all over his body.
He clearly liked it when some girls wheedled to their parents. Why was he so disgusted with Abigail Barton now? His face was dark. He could not be bothered to say a word to Abigail Barton.
His phone rang, and the spy reported, “Young Master, Julian Parks and Annalise Barton bought a lot of things in the mall and loaded them into the trunk. They’re heading towards the countryside now.” “Follow them. Keep in touch with me at all times. Don’t let your movements be exposed,” Alexander Parks instructed.
“Yes, Young Master, don’t worry.” Alexander Parks turned to look at Abigail Barton and asked indifferently, “What car do you drive in Horington?” “Me? A Ferrari!” Abigail Barton looked proud. She felt that even if she was just a daughter of a rich family from Horington, she was not inferior in any aspect.
“Forget it.” Alexander Parks said unhappily. He said to the driver who came to pick them up, “Uncle Wallace, turn around and head to the nearest car rental shop.” How ostentatious was a Ferrari? Wouldn’t they be found out immediately once they’re in the countryside?
The car he had in Horington was too luxurious. It was best to rent an ordinary pickup truck from a car rental shop. Its small frame and high chassis make it suitable for traveling on rural roads. “Alexander, why are we going to the car rental shop?” Abigail Barton asked. Alexander Parks glanced at Abigail Barton as if he was looking at a retard.
Abigail Barton was taken aback. She was speechless. If it weren’t for the fact that he had a chance to rise to the top, she wouldn’t have had to tolerate his temperament. Enough is enough.
Taking a deep breath, she said calmly, “Alexander, let’s go home and have lunch first.” She was so exhausted. “If you don’t want to go, you can get off now,” Alexander Parks said. Abigail Barton was fuming! Did he think she was stupid enough not to know what he meant?
Getting out of the car now also meant that she would be getting out of this marriage at the same time. Getting a divorce with nothing to gain after all the trouble she had been through? Absolutely not!
Endure, she would endure! She thoughtfully said, “Alexander, I’m worried you’ll go hungry. I’m fine.” When Alexander Parks saw Abigail Barton’s obsequious look, he closed his eyes to rest and could not be bothered with her.
When they arrived at the rental car shop, Alexander Parks chose a black pickup truck and asked the driver to park their car at the shop and drive them to the countryside in the truck. He had already experienced how bad the roads were previously.
The last time he had asked Abigail Barton to drive, but the jolting made him uncomfortable. This time, it would be better for the professional driver to drive instead. He had thought about getting Abigail Barton to drive again but he was afraid that she would only delay things. He wouldn’t want her to be idle. The black pickup truck headed toward the countryside.
Alexander Parks called the watcher to provide directions. The watcher shared the location with Alexander Parks. He received another message. [Young Master, I’m thirty meters away from their car.] Alexander Parks replied, [Don’t get caught.]
He checked the GPS. They were quite close, about four kilometers away. They could catch up in a moment. He felt a little excited that they were getting closer. He felt that this time, he would definitely be able to find. Joseph Quigley.
Abigail Barton was hungry, but she did not dare to say anything. Julian Parks drove for an hour and a half to the strawberry garden. This strawberry garden was also a farmhouse with food and accommodation. It was 3:30 p.m. when they arrived, which was perfect for picking strawberries.
After picking strawberries, they would have dinner and rest there for the night. They would start their day in the morning, climb the mountain in the afternoon, and camp in the mountains at night. At dawn, they would watch the sunrise.
The staff prepared baskets for Annalise Barton and Julian Parks. The two of them went straight for the strawberry garden. Annalise Barton was very excited. She ran to a less crowded place in the strawberry garden and assembled at selfie stick at the entrance.
Then, she pulled Julian Parks and ran. She turned on the video function on her phone to start recording the entire process of strawberry picking today. Julian Parks could not help but smile lovingly. No matter what she liked to do, he felt happy.
He thought that Annalise Barton was playing around by recording their happy moments. Besides enjoying the process of strawberry picking, Annalise Barton was mainly thinking about boosting his sales performance. Therefore, after she had recorded the video, she had to edit it and post it on her official account for marketing. Happy and beautiful moments could always attract more views.
