Chapter 1629

Sherry stared at the passing scenery outside the window and broke the silence at last, “Carl, I thought you went back to Coastrock. Why are you here and how did you know I was here?”

Carl smacked his lips and answered, “You just suddenly disappeared for so many days. Even your assistant could not get in touch with you. That made me curious and worried, so I decided to investigate what was going on. You might have mercilessly dumped me, but I will always remember what you’ve done for me, so I came back for you.”

He continued to drive and suddenly mentioned, “As for how I found you, well, let’s just say I’m smarter than I look.”

“Heh.” Sherry chuckled.

Carl relaxed when he saw how he had made Sherry laugh, then he said, “Well, it wasn’t so hard actually. I heard about Madam Stockton getting into an accident and figured that you had to be involved somehow, so I went from there and figured out that John must have had you locked up again. I did some digging and got a list of all the properties he owned and went through them one by one until I found you at last.”

After that, he began boring an underground tunnel to get her out of there.

Things happened to work out for them since he managed to rescue her just as the forest fire started. Fortunately, he came just in time.

Sherry’s lips quivered. She muttered softly. “Thank you, Carl.”

“No need to be so formal with me. Besides, you’ve helped me out many times too.”

Sherry tucked her lips and stayed silent.
