Lora, standing at the door, is about to open the door. She glances at a car that starts to drive away quickly. She thinks, “It seems… maybe I am wrong.”
“What's the matter?”
“Nothing. Let's go in.”
In the car, Kevin Quinn is retelling half of the diary he just read to Sunny Ellen.
“He didn't take down anything important, just something trivial. I roughly look through the beginning and the end. The content is finished until your mother leaves.”
“It seems that we have also found an ‘antique cultural relic...’”
Sunny Ellen murmurs and thinks of the two rings in her pocket.
“Let me have a look at the account book…”
Sunny Ellen wants to take it as she says. But Kevin Quinn grads her hand.
“You believe in me. I'm afraid that if something is written there, you will not be able to bear it. So don’t hurry to read.”
Sunny Ellen thinks for a while. Maybe Kevin Quinn is right, so she takes back her hand obediently.
“But I am so curious…”
“I will let you have a read after going back. Don’t read it in the car, it is easy to get carsick.”
Kevin Quinn speeds up again after saying, “It is almost there.”
Sunny Ellen looks at the strange and familiar road around, “Wait. Why do you take me here?”
She actually returns to the villa in the western suburbs again.
“There's no one here. It's convenient to talk.” Kevin Quinn stops the car before the door after saying it.
It seems that in order to prove what Kevin Quinn said, someone stands and waits at the door.
When she looks at the person, Sunny Ellen feels that she has been deceived.
“That's what you mean?”
Kevin Quinn looks at Bella, who is not far away from him. He also has a headache and doesn’t know why she is here.
At that moment, Bella also saw him. She is about to come over.
“Kevin Quinn, go and solve it. I wait in the car.” She feels that she is caught in an affair, which makes her embarrassed, so she asks Kevin Quinn to go off first.
Kevin Quinn has no choice but to ask Sunny Ellen to stay in the car and he gets out of the car.
“Why are you here?
“Why do you come back so late?”
They say it at the same time and then are stunned.
“Lady first.”
“Where did you drive just now? I seem to have seen you on the road...”
Kevin Quinn is nervous. But he pretends to be calm, “I just went for a ride, and then went to the shopping mall.”
Where he stopped his car is a shopping mall.
Kevin Quinn moves a few steps to the front of the car to block Bella’s view of the car while saying it.
“I thought I was wrong.”
“Well, what can I do for you? You didn't come to see me especially, did you?”
Bella looks unnatural after hearing what Kevin Quinn said, “No, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know what you're busy with recently. So come and have a visit.”
Kevin Quinn says, “You can come to my house in the center of the city. I don't usually live here. Today I come back to get things.”
Bella nods and is about to say something while her phone is ringing suddenly.
She looks different when she kooks at the caller ID.
“What is going on?” Kevin Quinn asks with concern.
“There's something wrong with my work. You know I've just came back recently and I'm busy looking for a job.”
After saying, Bella raises her phone and walks away to answer the phone.
Sunny Ellen hides herself in the car seat, staring at Bella.
She feels that there is something wrong with Bella.
Then she sees that Bella looks different after hearing something on her phone.
But Bella has a quick look at Kevin Quinn who turns his back to her and adjusts her look and then hangs up the phone.
“Kevin, I'm really sorry. I planned to ask you to have dinner, but now I'm afraid I have to go.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Something is wrong with my work. And I am asked to go…”
“Need me to send you there?”
“No, I drove by myself.”
After saying, Bella shakes her car key and hurries to her car.
Sunny Ellen opens the car and gets off after seeing Bella’s car disappearing, “It is so thrilling.”
“Don't ask me to do that again.” This is Kevin Quinn’s first time doing that. He sweats and doesn’t know why he is so nervous.
