One Night Surprise

Chapter 494 I Used to Be Like Her

Angie and Zeke had to alight a few vehicles before they could finally board a janky bus that headed straight for Silvercreek District’s fishing village.

They’ve spent nearly an entire day traveling, yet they still hadn’t reached the fishing village when the sky turned dark. Exhausted, Angie leaned against the horrifically dusty window. The beautiful afterglow outside shone on her face, making her alluring features even more gorgeous.

Silvercreek District used to be a janky old fishing village that only got prosperous in recent years because of its tourism culture. Now, the locals had become relatively well off. However, where Angie and Zeke were heading was a more remote village.

Zeke mentioned that Walter had been hiding in this village after resigning and had become a fisherman.

Later, the bus pulled over at the Silvercreek District’s bus stop, and a bunch of middle-aged women with pricing signs surrounded Angie right as she got off the bus. Having zero patience to entertain them, Zeke pulled Angie out from the crowd.

“I’ve asked around. All the vehicles that can take us to the village have stopped operating for the day. And I bet we won’t be able to find Walter even if we get a cab and go there now. It’s better that we crash here for the night and head over tomorrow.”

Angie nodded at that, agreeing with his suggestion.

Silvercreek District wasn’t big, so after the two checked-in into a relatively clean hotel and roughly sorted things out, Zeke took Angie to the restaurant below the hotel for dinner.

After the food was served, Zeke dug in immediately while Angie barely had an appetite, distracted by the thoughts in her mind. After a couple of forceful bites, a young girl—looking to be fifteen or sixteen—next to their table caught her attention.

The young girl was dressed in punk fashion from head to toe, and her colorful dreadlocks were exceptionally showy. When Angie looked over, the young girl was sitting with her legs crossed on the restaurant’s bench, chugging a stein of beer without a care for the world.

Sitting across her was a middle-aged man. He looked like a decent guy with his white dress shirt and briefcase next to him. Right then, he said nothing but snatched the stein glass from the girl.
