Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 773

Cedrick lowered his gaze and stroked his son’s head while saying seriously, “Keep Gwenny’s disappearance a secret for now. I don’t want it to cause panic in Salinsburgh. Besides, I’ve arranged for Swain to conduct a comprehensive investigation on this matter. So far, there are two phones found, and their data are getting recovered. We’ll be getting some results tomorrow.”

Even though he was feeling conflicted, he still did a great job in planning all of that.

Charles listened silently and mulled over it before saying, “So you’re planning to wait until tomorrow morning? For the results?”

Cedrick said nothing, but his silence was a tacit agreement to Charles’ words.

It had been a long night, and investigation results needed time to be produced. Not to mention the other party had many tricks up their sleeves and were familiar with Salinsburgh. They could hide themselves perfectly without making any mistakes.

Waiting was all he could do.

Charles’ expression grew more solemn when he saw Cedrick falling silent.

The paper in his hands was getting crumpled as he endured his emotions in silence.

He could not remain there without doing anything when there was a possibility of Gwendolyn already hurt.

Charles was not as patient as Cedrick.

At that, Charles stood up, put down the report, and turned around to leave.

Puzzled by Charles’ sudden actions, Nico called out, “Charles! It’s midnight, and there isn’t much that can be done. What are you trying to do?”

Charles halted and said in a determined tone without turning around, “To have one more person involved means we’ll have one more solution. Since Cedrick wants to investigate the matter lawfully, I’ll do it the other way.”

With that, he marched out of the room, leaving the door to close behind him with a thud.

Just like that, the office fell into complete silence.

Cedrick focused on watching over the children, his gaze dark and inscrutable.

Although Cedrick did not blame himself in public, Nico, who had been working with the former for over ten years, knew him well to understand what he was feeling.

Having no intent of exposing his superior, Nico got up, straightened his clothes, and said seriously, “Cedrick, you’ve had a long night and have been drinking. You should get some rest and not burn yourself out. You’re still needed to take care of the children. I’ll go look for Swain and work with him to speed up the investigation.”
