NovelEndChapter 1605 Sophie hugged Colby, as if seeking sstrength from his embrace.
In the afternoon, the Aldridge family's escort vehicles made their way toward the valley.
The place was overrun with dense forests, without even a clear path in sight.
The only sound in the thick woods was the chirping of birds.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarold had the car stopped, and everyone got out only to find there was no way to continue on foot.
"What place did Reece find, exactly?" Jenna looked around, noting that such undeveloped areas were prone to accidents, and the terrain was unclear on the map.
Who knew where the meeting point was? Moreover, if there were cliffs ahead, they would have no choice but to take a detour.
The dense forest not only blocked signals but also made it easy to get lost. "If even a compass doesn't work here, then who's to blif we get lost?" "Let's just wait here for me," Sophie said, taking out a hiking backpack.
She had anticipated this possibility before coming, just not that they would have to stop three kilometers away from their destination because the car couldn't go any further.
"Sophie, be careful. This isn't a joke. Even if it's just three kilometers in a straight line, without a map, it could take you three or four hours to reach the place." Jenna walked over to Sophie, worriedly saying, "Maybe I should cwith you. I've been on more adventures and might be able to get us there faster." "No!" Adler immediately stepped forward, pulling Jenna aside and saying, "Don't make things worse. I can't let you put yourself in danger." "And what if I don't? Are you going to go?" Jenna glared at Adler.
If Adler went along, they'd surely get lost within half an hour.
"Please rest assured, I have ample experience to take good care of Ms. Sophie." Jonah knew what everyone was concerned about.
Sophie also knew that, having done all sorts of jobs before teaming up with Odie, Jonah was more than capable of taking care of her.
"Let's not argue," Sophie said. "Everyone knows the meeting place. If something really happens, I'll set off fireworks as a signal. If too many of us go, Reece might get suspicious, and it would all be for nothing." "But I..." Jenna wanted to say more, but Adler quickly said, "I think Sophie is right. Jonah is a professional; he's the best choice to take care of Sophie. Plus, Colby can cover our rear. Let's just stay here and keep the base secure, so Sophie doesn't have to worry." Hearing this, Jenna took a deep breath and said, "Alright, but you all need to be very careful and make sure nothing happens." "Don't worry, Jenna. I'll take good care of myself," Sophie said with a slight nod.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, Jenna didn't say anything more.
Sophie and Jonah got their gear ready.
During this time, Sophie dared not meet Colby's eyes.
She knew Colby was worried about her but didn't voice his concerns.
He was never one for words.
It was only when it was tto head into the mountains that Sophie finally looked at Colby and said, "Colby, I'm En going now." "Okay."
Colby seemed to have a lot to say, but when it cdown to it, he only ve managed a single word.
Sophie smiled slightly, took Colby's hand, and disregarding everyone else, kissed him lightly on the lips.
