"It's okay. By the way, the scenery here looks nice." The man looked outside the window while speaking.
Verena was stunned as she didn't expect that this man seemed to be good-tempered. And he didn't intend to blame her for it. So she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
She turned around gratefully. When she looked at him, she was rendered a bit distracted.
He was a charming man in blue plaid shirt, black double-breasted coat and black pants. He just casually looked outside the window just like an elegant royal prince.
She had never expected that this man looked so perfect!
The man named Eden Lawson then shifted his gaze to look at Verena. He pointed at the driver's seat, "May I drive my own car?"
When hearing that, Verena hurried to stand up awkwardly, "Sorry! I am really sorry!"
"It's okay. I accept your apology." Eden sat down on the driver's seat and looked at her to say softly, "Sit tight. Let me drive you home!"
"No thanks. I can go by myself. Thank you so much!"
While speaking, she opened the door and was about to get off. However, she seemed to forget that her ankle was sprained. As soon as she touched the ground, she felt a bang of pain down her ankle. She couldn't help gasping and stumbled on the ground awkwardly. Tears welled up in her eyes out of pain.
Verena couldn't help exclaiming because of the sharp pain. When seeing that the man squatted down to massage her ankle, she felt so warm in her heart.
She had never been cared by someone else before except for her grandma, who loved her most.
"I am fine!" she looked grateful and moved a bit to take back her foot. His hand felt so warm as it clung to her foot. Her face turned to be blushed bashfully.
However, Eden suddenly gave a hard push on her foot and then her ankle sounded. Verena felt so pain that she bit her lips hard, on the surface of which a tooth print was left. She couldn't help curling up her body.
It felt deadly pain. She kept gasping for air while biting her bleeding lips. Though the blood started to spread all over her mouth, she still managed to keep her mouth shut.
Eden frowned and put a chewing gum into her mouth. Then he said softly, "As a girl, you don't need to be tough. You can cry whenever you need to. And smile whenever you want to."
Verena paused and looked at him. Then she smiled sincerely, "Thank you. I will keep your words in mind!"
"Don't mention it." Eden smiled politely and continued, "Where shall I take you to?"
"Don't bother…"
However, before she could finish, Eden interrupted, "But it's too remote here."
"Just take me to the bus stop there."
Eden then drove forward. Both of them didn't say anything. The car fell into silence.
Verena kept her head down. But she sometimes took a few glimpses at Eden, who was driving attentively. Then she hurried to shift her eyes off him. Her heart started to beat faster.
A moment later, the car stopped under a streetlight. Verena got off the car and smiled, "Thank you so much! Bye!"
Seeing that the car gradually faded away from her sight, she smiled and got on a bus.
Sammy still stayed awake while sitting on the sofa to watch cartoon. He giggled from time to time while watching.
