My Mom's Second Marriage Gifted Me Seven Brothers Chapter 91 - Stop Avoiding Me

Chapter 91: Stop Avoiding Me

In the afternoon, Adela and the others finally finished working on the generator and provided power to a few of their rooms.

Now that the hotel kitchen was completely on strike, everyone had to take out all the food and supplies they had prepared beforehand.

There were all kinds of beef jerky, bread, and other fast-food items. Although there wasn’t much in terms of variety, however there was enough food for all of them.

Someone suggested, “Now that we have speedboats, we might as well use them to leave this place!”

“Where are we going? Are we going back or forward?”

“Back to New York, of course!”

“That’s too simple! Now that Warren city has been flooded by the rain, the government has not come in to rescue us. Even the governing body of Warren City has not made a sound. Do you know what’s happening outside?”

“Do you think you can go home just by hiding here? Those who don’t know would think that you’re just a coward!”

“I only know how to judge the situation! In order to ensure everyone’s safety, we need to preserve our strength for the time being and make a more detailed plan before we can take action!”

As everyone argued, Mary rubbed her eyebrows. Monroe glanced at her and shouted in a deep voice, “Enough! Don’t you still think that it’s a good enough that you came back alive from the volcano?”

The volcanic eruption had caused a huge loss to the entire country.

Everyone within a 400-mile radius of Hearth National Park was affected by it.

So they were indeed lucky to have escaped death.

Since their boss was annoyed by the arguing, everyone fell silent.

Monroe regained his calm. “No matter what, returning to New York City is the right decision and goal.

“Driving the speedboat out of Warren City is a good idea.

“However, we don’t have a car outside of Warren City. If there’s still no communication, everyone can only rely on their own feet to go to the next city.

“What’s the situation in the next city? Perhaps everything is fine, and everyone can take a plane back. Or it could be the same as here, suffering from a rainstorm!

“Everyone, you can choose what you want to vote!”

Their voting results came out very quickly.

Most of them supported leaving Warren City as soon as possible and it seemed that most still had the spirit of adventure.

Mary was one of them.

Monroe saw her choice and nodded. “Okay. Everyone, get dressed and sleep early today. We’ll set off at five tomorrow morning.”

After dinner, everyone left, and Mary went back to her room early.

She was deliberately avoiding Monroe, and Monroe felt it.

When she came to Mary’s door, Monroe knocked on it. “Hey! Can we talk?”

Mary was packing when she heard Monroe’s voice outside the door. She paused. “Let’s… talk when we get back to New York!”

Monroe asked her, “Why?”

Mary walked behind the door and leaned against it. “I want to give myself more time. Is that okay?”

She wanted to think about it…how to confront him.

If she was going to be brave enough to start a relations.h.i.+p, Mary didn’t want her job to be a problem for them, so, Mary needed more time for something so complicated.

Monroe seemed to be in thought for a long time as he stood outside the door. “Okay, I won’t force you, but you can’t avoid me tomorrow, okay?”

Mary felt Monroe’s gentleness.

He used to be such a hot-tempered person, but now, she felt that he was special to her.

The sweet taste in her heart made Mary laugh. “Well, okay…”

Turning around, the two of them held their hands against the door.

It was as if they only needed to take one more step!

If they could open the door, they could hug each other.

At 12:00 am, a gust of wind caught the rain, making the window open with a bang and woke Mary from her dream.
