The Wedding Mission

8. Find Gwen.

There were already several neighbors gathered in the courtyard of the house, when Maxim arrived there. They immediately asked Gwen who seemed to be leaving in a hurry.

"I'm sure, Gwen's fine. Maybe he's playing in the harbor. I'm going to look for him there" Maxim said, trying to give him the most plausible explanation he could think of.

Though doubts lingered on the faces of the neighbors, considering that Gwen left the house with the door open, but they still tried to trust Maxim's confidence.

"In that case, quickly pick him up, Max! Your wife doesn't know this place well. I'm afraid he'll be lost." Hanna opened her voice. The middle-aged woman continued to give him a basket of peaches and fish, which he had always wanted to give.

Maxim accepted and thanked him. The man entered the house, after the neighbors took the initiative to disperse.

The first thing Maxim found once inside was the condition of the house that was quite messy. Because, Gwen did not clean up their food marks.

As a result, Maxim put all the dirty dishes into the kitchen sink first, before then going to their room.

There, Maxim finds Gwen's closet in the open. However, all the clothes belonging to the girl were still neatly arranged there. Only one was missing, Gwen's little bag.

Gwen's only goal that comes to Maxim's head right now is her own parents' home.

Not wanting to waste any time, the tall, burly man went straight out to his car. He doesn't mind Gwen's goals, he's just worried about her safety.

...**********...

Gwen wiped away the sweat that began to flood her body. The girl stopped at an unused stop to rest.

Armed with a bottle of mineral water, Gwen desperately walked on foot following the instructions of the road to the nearest bus terminal. However, instead of the terminal he found, Gwen instead found an empty bus stop on this deserted street.

"Haha ... you idiot!" Gwen laughed at her now lost self somewhere. Wanting to go back, it feels like it no longer has energy.

The only hope he had was to wait for anyone passing by, to be asked for a ride to the stop.

However, apparently it is not easy to find one or two vehicles there. Fifteen minutes passed and no vehicles passed.

Gwen tries to open her phone to call Ronny. If only with his tragic story, the man would come to pick you up. But poor cannot be denied. His phone ran out of battery.

"Arghh! Maxim siaalaan!" maki Gwen hard. She cursed the man who had become her husband. Were it not for marrying Maxim, Gwen's life would not have been this sad.

As Gwen was busy wailing, suddenly a yellow pick-up car backed off and stopped right in front of her. Gwen apparently did not realize, that the car had moved past her earlier.

Seeing there was a beautiful girl who was standing alone at an empty stop, making Jack and Allan, two men who are famous for making troublemakers, exclaiming for joy.

They also agreed to approach the girl to be given a ride.

"Hi, pretty girl, why are you in this lonely place alone?" jack asked with a face as gracious as possible, while Allan focused on watching Gwen from top to bottom. From the looks of it, he was sure, Gwen was not this person.

Gwen grimaces. His face that was originally cloudy, was now bright for a moment. "I'm strayed. Can you give me a ride to the terminal?" ask the girl with a face.

Jack and Allan exchanged glances for a moment, while throwing a thin and suspicious smile.

"Alright, it just so happens that our destination is not far from the stop."

Hearing the answer, Gwen was happy not to be upset. Regardless of the identity of the two strangers, Gwen got into their car.

"Where are you going, Gwen?" jack asked, after they met.

"Hmm, I was visiting your sister's house in Wengberland, and decided to go home alone." Gwen chooses not to tell the truth, because she doesn't want the two to recognize Maxim. Understandably, Wengberland is not a big place, so anyone can get to know each other.

"Oh, so it seems," said Allan with a face sumringah. The two of them secretly exchanged glances, like they were planning something.

While on the other hand, Maxim speeds up the jeep car he drives. It just so happened that he got a loan from a military camp not far from there.

"If he follows the instructions of this path, it will surely be lost" muttered Maxim.

The man also decided to go to the road that corresponds to the signboard.

There was not a single passing vehicle along the eye of the beholder. In the past, the streets were actually very crowded. Moreover, it was the only road leading to the terminal. However, since the construction of two large factories five years ago, the road was finally closed and diverted to other places.

That is why, this road is now rarely passed by public transportation.

When the man was busy turning his head to and fro, he accidentally saw a yellow pick-up car moving in the opposite direction.

Maxim suddenly frowned, when he found the figure of Gwen sitting between the two men in the car.

Without a second thought, Maxim immediately turned back the car he was driving to catch up with them.

"Revelation!"

Jack who was exchanging glances with Allan, behind Gwen's back, was suddenly shocked by the girl's screaming voice.

When looking ahead, the two men were surprised, when they found a jeep suddenly stopped. Luckily, Jack was able to quickly step on the brake pedal in time.

"Jack, isn't that a military Jeep?" ask Allan in panic.

"Hey, did you just do something?" point Jack at Allan.

Allan gasped and shook his head violently. "Just kid! Don't-don't you!" the man did not accept.

While the two were busy arguing, Gwen was grimacing almost in tears. The reason, the girl found a very familiar man, got off the jeep car.

"Destroyed is my plan!"

Hearing Gwen's words, both Jack and Allan immediately turned their eyes forward.

Their faces were instantly deathly pale, when they found Maxim's figure there.

The man was standing right in front of the car door. With just one index finger, they knew Maxim was asking them to get down from there.

"E—eh, hello, Mr. Maxim Eginhard!" hello Jack and Allan excited.

"Where are you taking the girl?" maxim asked coldly, without further ado.

Jack and Allan turned to Gwen, who was still sitting in the car with her face down, before looking back at Maxim.

"Anu, we just gave the girl a ride, Mr. Maxs. You don't have to worry. Right, right, bro!" Jack elbowed Allan's rib hard, seeking approval.

Allan reflexes nodded while grimacing. "We just want to take the girl to the terminal, Mr. Max!" shouts affirm.

Maxim tilted his head, in order to see Gwen more clearly. "Down!" tell the man.

Finding Maxim's cold voice that he had never heard, Gwen timidly finally got out of the car.

"Anu, sorry, Mr. Max, you're scaring this girl. Let us take him, you don't have to bother meddling in our affairs" Jack said. As much as possible, he did not show a look of annoyance on his face.

"Surely I must intervene, if it concerns my wife's safety!" maxim exclaimed with a sharp eye.

Hearing these words, Jack and Allan were surprised instead of playing. Their faces turned as pale as cotton. Because, they were just about to prank the wife, of the most feared man in Wengberland.
