Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 798: Julian Bishop the Supporting Character
Audrey Sutton said confidently, "No way, we started packing yesterday. Everything is basically packed in the suitcases. We can leave anytime after breakfast once everyone is here." ๐ฏ๐ป๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐.๐๐ธ๐ข
Hazel Yates wrapped the pastries in paper and said, "We should wake them up for breakfast, itโs getting late."
Audrey Sutton: "Okay, okay, Iโll go call them."
While a few people were still upstairs getting ready, Scott Sutton came back first. As soon as his car stopped in the yard, Faye Xavier and Morgan Quinn arrived.
The reason these two arrived early was because Shane Warner was struggling to handle three kids on his own, so he called them to help.
Next came Lucian Quinn, carrying Flora Lane and Bear. As a result, the itinerary turned into a few men downstairs watching the kids, and a group of women upstairs doing who knows what, not coming down for a long time.
Not until the servants laid out breakfast on the table did Hazel Yates urge them downstairs, and a few of them finally came down.
After finishing breakfast, Audrey Sutton was spooning porridge into Annaโs mouth and asked Flora Lane, "Why isnโt Brother Seraphina here yet?"
Flora Lane: "I just called; he said heโs on the way and should be here soon."
"By the way." Audrey Sutton looked at Shane Warner holding Anna, "Whereโs Mr. Bishop? Did you call him?"
Shane Warner answered casually, "Heโs almost here."
Just as he was speaking, the sound of a car came from outside the house. Julian Bishopโs car had just parked in the courtyard, and Seraphina Vaughnโs car followed right in.
Not long after, Norman Sutton succeeded in fetching Lana Holloway.
There was still some distance between the two; it was unclear if they communicated in the car, but once she got out, Lana Holloway smiled and joked with those around her, seemingly in a good mood, though she made no eye contact with Norman Sutton, let alone interacting with him.
But it was fortunate enough that Norman Sutton managed to bring her, probably for Hazel Yatesโs sake. Otherwise, with Norman Suttonโs attitude, Lana Holloway wouldnโt have come.
The planned departure at ten oโclock delayed until almost eleven when the group finally set out.
They rented a total of ten vehicles, including RVs for entertainment and rest during the journey, a dedicated dining car, and a small truck for camping gear.
Hazel Yates was most concerned about the pregnant Phoebe King, so she arranged for two servants to accompany them for care along the way, and the team of chefs in the dining car was personally arranged by Hazel Yates, afraid that this group of young people wouldnโt eat properly when traveling.
The itinerary was arranged by Seraphina Vaughn, heading first to cities south of Rivia then looping west, finally returning to Rivia.
No activities were planned for today; itโs mainly travel, with an estimation to reach the first campsite early tomorrow morning.
Everyone stayed in the entertainment compartments, some played Mahjong, some played card games, and others enjoyed video games or watched movies.
Audrey Sutton could play anything, while Shane Warner belonged to those who didnโt enjoy games.
Audrey Sutton noticed that even Vanessa, typically introverted, was chatting and laughing watching a movie with Laura Yates and Lana Holloway, while Shane Warner simply held Anna sitting on the window-side sofa, playing with his phone.
He was the kind who would only take out his phone when bored; if it wasnโt extremely dull, he certainly wouldnโt be touching his phone.
When everyone is out playing, Audrey Sutton naturally couldnโt just focus on her own enjoyment.
She called Scott Sutton, who was studying puzzles nearby, "Fourth brother, come help me play a few rounds."
Scott Sutton put down the puzzle pieces and asked her, "Whatโs wrong? Bad luck?"
Audrey Sutton: "Iโm going to the restroom."
Scott Sutton sat down and said, "If I lose, itโs on you; if I win, itโs on me."
Audrey Sutton snorted: "Provided youโre ruthless enough."
Leaving the Mahjong table behind, Audrey Sutton headed straight for Shane Warner, squeezed onto the single-seater sofa and leaned over to glance at his phone, asking him, "What are you looking at?"
Shane Warner openly let her see, shifted slightly, and gently asked, "Why arenโt you playing?"
Audrey Sutton leaned against him, tugging at Annaโs somewhat crooked hat, "Why donโt you join in to play?"
Shane Warner put away his phone, wrapped an arm around Audrey Sutton, "Isnโt there enough people playing with you?"
Audrey Sutton: "Iโm asking why youโre not playing, just sitting here alone; I thought you were upset or something."
Shane Warner chuckled, explaining, "I was looking at a document Julian Bishop just sent me."
Audrey Sutton: "I knew it; thatโs why youโre sitting here alone. By the way, whereโs Mr. Bishop?"
Shane Warner: "In the computer room next door."
Audrey Sutton sighed, "Mr. Bishop is basically working from a different place. Iโm curious how much salary you pay him a month."
Shane Warner: "Just enough so he isnโt mistreated."
Audrey Sutton: "Iโll take Anna over to play, you focus on work."
Shane Warner: "Not playing cards?"
Audrey Sutton: "Iโm resting for a bit, my fourth brother is covering for me. Iโll go to the next room and watch a movie for a while. When youโre done, pull Mr. Bishop to join us. Since we rarely get out, letโs have him relax a little."
Upon saying that, Audrey Sutton took Anna to the next room.
Barry Barrett is quite the gamer, he admires Norman Sutton, so he pulled Norman to play games in the gaming room. Naturally, Norman Suttonโs thoughts were with Lana Holloway, his mind wandering more often than not, torn between wanting to find Lana Holloway and being uncertain about how to approach her.
On the other hand, Lana Holloway was merrily snacking and chatting with those around her in the neighboring media room.
Audrey Sutton took Anna, entered the room, and settled on the sofa. Anna instantly reached for the items on the coffee table.
Seeing as the floor was carpeted, Audrey Sutton just let him be on the floor and play on his own.
"Whereโs Clary?"
Laura Yates chuckled and said, "Sheโs asleep, we put her in the quiet computer room, with Mr. Bishop watching over her."
Audrey Sutton couldnโt help but laugh. She had meant to urge Julian Bishop to relax, now he was practically a tool rather than playing.
But those with busy jobs canโt toss aside everything to go on a carefree trip like the rest. So traveling while working is already a form of relaxation.
By evening, the cars gathered at the same service area, dinner on the dining car was prepared, and everyone boarded to eat, resting for two hours before setting off again.
After dinner, exhaustion set in, and everyone boarded their designated rest vehicles, hoping for a restful journey overnight.
