Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 879: Chapter 436: Unable to Extricate Oneself (Second Update)

"Of course! I grew up in Chinatown!" The woman was even more delighted, "See, we have such a connection!"

Kenneth Osborne: ...

What kind of connection is that!

He pressed his lips together, saying nothing more.

The woman, noticing his interest in Chinatown, enthusiastically described the local customs, hotels, restaurants, and various entertainment venues.

Finally, as they walked out of the cabin, the woman said, "The best restaurant in Chinatown is ’Gilbert Family Cuisine,’ and the best hotel is the Half Moon Hotel. Mr. Osborne, if you need accommodation or dining, remember to visit those two places."

When Kenneth checked for hotels, he did find the Half Moon Hotel, and he had booked a room there.

Because it’s the only five-star hotel in Chinatown.

He hadn’t heard about "Gilbert Family Cuisine," but if there’s time, he could go there for a meal.

If it’s good, he would take Nora to eat there too.

She loves good food the most.

Kenneth thought to himself as he followed the crowd upon disembarkation towards customs.

The woman, holding a passport of this country, could clear customs automatically.

Kenneth had a visa, so he had to be personally interviewed and stamped by customs officials before he could leave the airport.

The woman quickly passed through customs, waved to him, and then walked away cheerfully.

After handling all procedures, Kenneth went to retrieve the car he had rented and drove out of the parking lot.

Using the navigation, he easily found the way to Chinatown’s Half Moon Hotel.

After checking in, he freshened up in the bathroom, just like Lawrence Winters had done when he first arrived, then also went out to find something to eat.

Although the hotel had a dining area, he didn’t like it.

Thinking about the "Gilbert Family Cuisine" the woman mentioned, Kenneth opened his phone and found the address.

It was only two blocks away from the hotel, just a twenty-minute walk.

Driving there would be even faster, and he reached his destination in less than five minutes.

Looking at the restaurant’s facade, which clearly had the decor of the eighties, Kenneth’s lips twitched slightly.

After parking, he went into the restaurant and casually ordered a few home-style dishes, including steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce, salted fish and chicken tofu pot, and mushrooms with greens.

Once the dishes were served, he realized these were all dishes that Lawrence loved.

They grew up together, so he knew her tastes too well.

And the longer they were together, the more similarities they developed, even their tastes became alike.

These were also dishes he loved.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a tender, melt-in-the-mouth rib, and savored it slowly.

During the meal, he occasionally glanced at his phone, wondering when to call Lawrence.

Looking at her number, he hesitated.

They were divorced; what had compelled him to fly thousands of miles over here?

He wasn’t usually this impulsive...

Kenneth stroked his phone, and after a while, he dialed Lawrence’s number.

As expected, she had blocked him.

Kenneth sighed and sent Lawrence a WeChat message: Nora, I’m in New York, staying at the Half Moon Hotel. Where are you?

Fortunately, Lawrence hadn’t blocked him on WeChat.

The message was sent, but after a long wait, there was no reply.

Kenneth didn’t know what she was doing, feeling a bit anxious.

Thinking about the reports in the Chinatown local papers, he even impulsively thought about calling the local police station to inquire.

Of course, he didn’t call.

Without any specific information, how could he make the call?

Would he just blurt out and ask if they had arrested a woman named "Lawrence Winters"?

He doubted whether the police would even understand the name "Lawrence Winters."

He looked at his phone again and sent Lawrence another WeChat message: I’m really worried about you, respond as soon as you can if it’s convenient. Don’t be afraid of anything—I’ll help you.

He stared at his phone screen for a full three minutes, but there was still no reply.

Kenneth checked the time; it was already noon, maybe she was having lunch?

If she wasn’t in trouble, that is?

If something had happened, wouldn’t she be unable to even access her phone? Hence the lack of reply?

Kenneth felt increasingly uneasy, becoming more worried.

Unable to control himself, he sent Lawrence another WeChat message: Which hotel are you staying at? How are things going? I saw in the paper that you’re involved in a case.

He initially wanted to say he came specifically to find her, but when the image of her resolute and unfeeling manner when asking for a divorce flashed in his mind, he didn’t want to say it anymore.
