Chapter 1032 Car Break Down
Sierra and Robert sat in a car while Clarissa and her family took the car behind theirs.
Just now, she clearly saw that Sierra's car had driven away.
So, the car that stopped in front of hers right now should not be Sierra's.
Who was that?
She was curious as the car looked similar to Sierra's car except for the license plate.
And because of that, she also mistook that Sierra's car was stopping there.
When her car passed beside that car, Anne suddenly exclaimed.
"It's him! It's that handsome man!"
Stunned, Clarissa looked outside. Indeed, it was the same man they had met in the theater.
Starring at him, Clarissa was surprised. At the same time, the man turned to them as if he could hear Anne's exclamation.
Nevertheless, the car windows were specially tinted. In the car, they could see outside clearly while people outside of the car couldn't see them. Therefore, the man didn't know who was screaming.
"Stop! Stop!" Anne shouted.
Hearing that, the driver turned to look at Anderson. After Anderson nodded, he stopped the car on the side of the road.
As soon as the car stopped, Anne wanted to open the door, but Clarissa stopped her.
"Hey, wait a minute."
As she spoke, she grabbed Anne and warned, "Don't be too rash. You are still a kid, so you should follow the adults, understand?"
Obediently, Anne nodded.
Only then, Clarissa got off the car with peace of mind and brought Anne to that car.
In fact, Clarissa had her reason for being oversensitive. Due to she and Anderson's status, many people would approach them with ulterior motives. Hence, as their daughter, Anne should be cautious.
Otherwise, if the enemies came to her, she would fall into their trap easily.
Anderson also got out of the car and went to that man with Clarissa, Anne, and Marf.
At this time, the man also recognized Clarissa and Anne. With a smile, he stood up straight and said, "Oh, it's the both of you. I thought your voice was familiar, and we meet again. What a coincidence."
As Clarissa had warned Anne just now, Anne was much more obedient than before.
Like a small adult, she straightened her body and nodded.
"Yeah, I also think it's a coincidence. Why are you here alone? Is there a problem with your car?"
Hearing that, the man looked back at his car and smiled helplessly. "Yes, I don't know why. It broke down halfway, but I have called the insurance company. Their people should be here soon."
Meanwhile, Anderson looked at him and secretly sized him up.
This man dressed neatly, and he seemed gentle like a lamb. Besides, his eyes were smiling, and he had the temperament of an ancient nobleman as if he came straight out of a painting.
In other words, he was a person who could leave a deep impression on others at first sight.
Anderson thought to himself.
On the other hand, Clarissa also had the same thought. Staring at the man's car, she uttered, "Since it's late now, I believe you will have to wait for them for a long time."
Upon listening to her words, he shrugged helplessly.
"I can't help it. I'm not a local, so I rented this car to travel around, and I don't have any friends here. Just now, I contacted the rental company, and they asked me to call the insurance company instead."
Clarissa nodded.
"Did they say when they will arrive?"
"No, they just told me to wait for them, and they'll come as soon as possible."
As he spoke, his brows slightly puckered. Obviously, he felt that the insurance company was being perfunctory.
Then, Anderson asked in a deep voice, "Are you from Ascijan?"
The man's eyes lit up.
"Yes, how did you know that?"
"Because we're from Ascijan too."
Before that, they were conversing using a foreign language. Now that Anderson switched to English, the man was elated.
"I see. It seems that we are predestined to meet each other. I always thought that there were not many Ascijanese here."
Then, Anderson suggested, "It seems like you'll have to wait for a long time. If you don't mind, get in the car. We'll give you a ride."
Hearing that, the man hesitated.
"Is... is this really okay? Besides, this car..."
"The security here is good, and there are surveillance cameras along this road. So, your car will be fine. Get in."
After Anderson finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car with Marf in his arms.
Seeing this, Clarissa also kindly persuaded, "I have to thank you for helping my daughter. So, allow us to give you a ride."
When the man heard that, he finally nodded in agreement.
After getting in the car, he told them his address, and Clarissa noticed that they were in the same direction. Indeed, fate was amazing.
"My name is Anne Jordan, what's yours?"
During their trip back, Anne began to strike a conversation with that man.
With a smile, he replied, "Nice name. My name is Coby. By the way, is A-n-n the spelling of your name?"
"No, there's an e in my name, so it's A-n-n-e. How about yours? Coby with a y or Cobie with an ie?
"With a y. C-o-b-y."
When Clarissa heard his name, her heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, the name of the mysterious person from the Marsh Family—Coby Marsh—came into her mind.
Coby... Coby Marsh...
Was there really such a coincidence in this world?
Thinking about that, she turned her head and looked at Coby.
This car was five seated, so if there was one more person, they couldn't fit the car.
Hence, the driver was sitting at the driver's seat, Marf was sitting on Anderson's lap, and Anderson was sitting at the back with Anne and Clarissa.
As for Coby, he sat in the front passenger seat.
From Clarissa's point of view, she could only see his side profile. At that moment, he was still wearing that gentle smile that was amicable.
Seeing that, she tried to persuade herself inwardly.
Maybe she was too sensitive. After all, in this world, there were plenty of people with the name of Coby.
Having the same first name didn't mean that he is Coby Marsh.
Besides, he didn't say that his surname was Marsh.
Hence, why would she assume that he was Coby Marsh?
With this in mind, Clarissa gradually calmed down.
Actually, it was normal for her to be suspicious. After all, she and Anderson had never personally seen Coby Marsh's before.
They had only heard Emmeline and Jara describe him.
According to the description, they only knew that the cunning and shrewd Coby Marsh had managed the Marsh Family for many years. Moreover, he was a scary person that managed to control the wily Rowan Marsh despite his young age.
