Chapter 707: Chapter 445: Thrilling Journey!

After Wendy had eaten, she carefully gathered the garbage and went to check on the black mother and son.

"Lincoln, bring these Self-heating Food as a gift for Wendy’s colleagues," Sean Knight said, holding a package of food from the car: "See if there is anything else they need. By the way, Wendy, is it crowded in that car? Why not sit in Lincoln’s car?"

Wendy was obviously tempted, and she looked at Lincoln.

"Yes." Lincoln’s face was slightly red, and he nodded.

He could naturally see that Sean was intentionally creating opportunities for him and Wendy to be together.

He had some feelings for Wendy, but he was introverted and didn’t know how to get along.

So he naturally accepted the opportunity created by Sean.

"Is it really possible? Won’t it affect you guys?" Wendy obviously agreed too.

"What’s not possible?" Sean laughed, "Our car has plenty of space anyway."

Wendy and Lincoln picked up their things and left. Watching their backs, Douglas Cooper came over and said:

"Boss, should I squeeze in with you guys?"

"Well, you are pretty smart and know yourself," Elijah Hastings, putting his arm around Sean ’s shoulder and laughing, said before Sean could speak:

"Not being a light bulb, good, good. Good consciousness."

"Of course!" Douglas was smug.

Walking side by side, Wendy spoke softly:

"Your boss is really nice!"

"Yes, our boss is a great person," Lincoln nodded seriously, "And he treats us well."

"I can see that." Wendy smiled, her eyes curved into small crescents, still looking like a student with her glasses, "Your boss really cares about you guys. So, when did you retire? Did you follow your boss right after?"

Lincoln briefly told her about his experiences, but was vague about Sean’s work. He remembered very clearly that Sean had told Christopher Hughes that they were on a tour.

Although he had a good relationship with Wendy now, there were still some boundaries they could not cross.

"It seems that your boss is quite rich and wise, traveling to this place in this day and age..." Wendy felt a little strange but did not pursue it further.

She had great trust in Lincoln as a person.

However, someone else didn’t.

The two went to see the black mother and son with their Self-heating Food. After dropping off the food, they went to find Christopher Hughes.

"So this is your classmate? That’s quite a coincidence!" Christopher Hughes laughed, "The world is both big and small... Lincoln, is it? How many years have you been a soldier? How many years since you retired? Don’t misunderstand, I’m merely curious; I never served, but I have a fondness for soldiers!"

"Two years." Lincoln said, "I joined the army when Wendy was in university."

"He could have gone to university too, but he didn’t..." Wendy explained on behalf of Lincoln, "He was determined to serve."

"Alright. Since you know each other and have a history, it’s fine to go to their car," said Christopher Hughes after some thought:

"However, if there happens to be a roadblock or something, you still have to stick to your duties, Wendy."

"No problem!" Wendy said happily.

"Wendy, this isn’t right, is it?" A young man with glasses suddenly said:

"Although he’s your classmate, you haven’t seen him for so many years. Do you know what they do now? When you’re out, you should focus on safety and protect yourself... Besides, you’re one girl, and they’re four guys. There are some things I can’t say..."

"What are you saying, Zhao?" Christopher Hughes stopped the young man as he saw that his words were upsetting Lincoln:

"Just because Sean gave Jessica’s child rice paste earlier proves they’re not bad people!

Besides, Lincoln and the others were soldiers. Would they be bad people?

Now that we are all away from home, we should be vigilant, but since Lincoln and Wendy know each other and they aren’t strangers, you shouldn’t worry about it!"

Then he explained to Lincoln:

"Zhao and Wendy are colleagues, and he’s mainly concerned about Wendy’s safety."

"I understand." Lincoln glanced at Zhao and turned to Wendy with a blank face:

"Let’s go then."

Wendy was annoyed by Zhao’s words, but she didn’t know how to argue.

"Come on, let’s go," Lincoln said, touching her arm, "Why think so much? It’s a waste of energy."

Wendy followed Lincoln grumpily.

"Zhao, pay attention to your words in the future." only after Lincoln and Wendy left, Christopher Hughes said seriously to Zhao :

"I know you have feelings for Wendy, but there should be a mutual understanding between a man and a woman. Your words just now, aren’t they causing conflict?"

"I didn’t say anything wrong..." Zhao was a little unconvinced, "It’s been so many years since they met. Who knows what Lincoln is like now?"

"That has nothing to do with you." Christopher Hughes said: "Wendy is an adult and has her own judgment!

Acting like this will only make her dislike you more! Alright, since they brought this Self-heating Food, let’s divide it up, eat, and get on the road quickly!"

Though Zhao had spoken negatively about

Lincoln and his friends, he did not hesitate to pick up the Self-heating Food Lincoln had brought and start eating.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy set off again.

The car with the replaced tire was also running, but it did not dare to go fast. It stopped and went, and in two hours, it hadn’t covered more than fifty kilometers.
