The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 769
As the rain continued to pour, the small fleet of technicals sped down the highway.
Cedrick gripped his phone nervously, still trying to get through to Gwendolyn’s phone.
Out of service… Argh! Why is the phone still out of service?
Swain showed Cedrick a screenshot of the GPS location, and the latter couldn’t stop staring at the red dot on the map, wishing he could see his wife soon.

Swain kept a hand on the steering wheel while skillfully tapping his Bluetooth headset with the other to contact the border patrol and relay Cedrick’s orders.

As the fleet of vehicles neared Xanthon Highway, Cedrick glanced at the darkness outside the window and discreetly smelled himself.
“Swain, is the cigarette smell on me obvious?”

Cedrick rolled his eyes. Ugh. Why did I even bother asking him?
The technical was large, and apart from the cache of weapons, there was also a stash of emergency supplies.
