After a while, Tristan saw that she was quiet and glanced at her, "Are you cold?"
"Huh?" The girl came back to her senses, turned her eyes to meet his gaze, and then quickly regained her composure. "I'm not cold, really."
So what was she thinking about?
Tristan could sense her slight panic. The corners of his lips lifted, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. Monica averted her gaze. She didn't know if it was because of the warmth in the car or something else, but she felt her cheeks getting hot.
"Monica, I have some good news for you," Tristan said softly as he drove, looking forward to seeing her overjoyed.
The girl turned her eyes towards him again, and he looked at her too, "What good news?" Are you asking me to be in a relationship with you?
That was the first thought that crossed Monica's mind.
But on second thought, that wasn't good news.
Shouldn't he ask if she was willing to be in a relationship? It couldn't be that he would just bring her this news directly, right?
So she didn't know and waited for his answer.
Tristan's right hand left the steering wheel and unexpectedly held her hand. This action startled the girl, and she looked at him with a dazed expression.
"Your hands are a bit cold, would you like to use a heating pad?" he asked with concern.
Monica shook her head. Their fingers intertwined, and she didn't dare to look at him, "What's the good news?" She didn't pull her hand away.
Tristan didn't let go of her hand either, instead holding it even tighter. "I went to see your father last night."
Monica was startled, and she looked at him, "Why did you look for him?" She almost forgot that her hand was still in his palm.
