He scoffed and barked, “Don’t say such crap.”
I stared out the window and let my mind wander. “John, we’re the only ones left from R Province,” I lamented.
He froze for a second before frowning. “What do you mean?”
At the traffic light, he stopped to stare at me.
My throat hurt slightly, and my eyes were uncomfortably dry. “Macy’s gone!”
“Gone?”
“She’s buried with Grandma in Jadeborough. I wanted to bring them to R Province. But now, we can’t go back to R Province.”
The light turned green.
However, the elderly man was slowly hobbling across the zebra crossing.
The car behind punched their horns ceaselessly, but John did not start driving. Instead, he leaned back and closed his eyes.
The horn persisted. John burst out of the car and slammed the door ferociously. I was stunned by his reaction. When I realized what he was planning on doing, I scrambled after him.
He marched up to the car with the impatient driver and knocked on the window. The driver rolled down his window and snapped, “So what if you drive a Bentley? You…”
The driver shut his mouth after one murderous glare from John.
John pursed his lips, raised his eyebrow, and coldly stared down the man. “Get out!”
The man panicked slightly as he tried to make sense of the situation. He suppressed his anger and replied, “Is there something wrong with you?”
“I told you to get out!” John erupted as he wrenched the car door open and yanked the stout driver out of the vehicle.
The terrified man was scared stiff. He gazed at John’s handsome face in terror and started to plead for mercy.
After expressing some of his furies, John tossed a name card in the man’s face and barked gruffly, “Don’t honk your horn like a madman in the city center next time. Otherwise, you won’t get away with just a beating again.”
John returned to the car and started driving.
I sighed. “You didn’t have to be so… impulsive! Just let him scream for a bit. You only had to wait till the old man was across the road. You didn’t have to cause a scene.”
He pursed his lips but didn’t reply. It was clear that his bad mood stemmed from elsewhere.
“How did she die?”
