Victoria paused and glanced at him, unwilling to give up.
But if she went to get her car at this time, it was obviously too late. This man was so strong that he would definitely not let her leave.
She finally made up her mind. Just to let him drive her home. It was no big deal.
Then she got into his car.
She didn't refuse anymore. Charlie's face softened and then he sat on the driver's seat.
In the middle of the night, the car sped silently on the quiet road of Eqitin. With the bustling night view on the road, the two sat in the car without saying anything.
It was late at night. In fact, Victoria was a little tired. After all, she had just given birth and her physical strength was not as good as that of a normal person, so she felt sleepy as soon as she got in the car.
But it was winter now and the temperature was low at night. Even if the heating was on in the car, it was still a little cold for Victoria, who had a weak body after giving birth.
She gathered her coat and tried to wrap herself tighter.
However, someone moved faster than her. He threw a coat to her.
Victoria was stunned.
The coat was Charlie's. There was a faint aura that only belonged to this man on it.
He held the steering wheel and didn't look at her. There was still a cold expression on his face.
However, Victoria only felt warm. Her heart, which had been cold because of the cold war for several months, gradually warmed up.
She coughed awkwardly but didn't refuse. She wrapped his coat and said vaguely, "Thank you."
Charlie didn't answer her.
But his cold face softened a lot.
The atmosphere in the car was a little strange.
Although the two of them still didn't speak, it was obvious that the atmosphere was not as cold as it was when they first had got in the car.
Actually, Victoria didn't like this feeling.
This feeling made her feel out of control. She had tried something before, and she had thought that courage would bring her unexpected gains, but what had waited for her were losses and pains.
So she didn't want to touch it again. All she wanted in her life was to live a quiet life with Joy.
The youth and excitement had been buried in that desperate night more than half a year ago.
She turned her head to look out of the window. Just then, Charlie's phone rang.
She glanced at him. Charlie frowned and picked up the phone impatiently.
He didn't say much but nodded twice with a very cold attitude.
Therefore, Victoria couldn't figure out who it was from his words, but she didn't care. No matter who it was, it had nothing to do with her.
Charlie hung up the phone soon.
After a moment's silence, he suddenly said, "Get ready to take Joy with me to the Stevenson family."
Victoria's eyelids twitched.
All her sleepiness was gone.
She looked at Charlie vigilantly and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
Charlie frowned and seemed to be making an excuse. After a while, he answered, "There's a call from home. They want to see the child."
"No way!"
Victoria refused without hesitation.
The atmosphere in the car became cold and silent again.
Charlie's face darkened.
Victoria held her arms and turned to look out of the window. Her face was gloomy and she didn't say anything more.
After a while, Charlie said, "I've agreed on it. I have to do it."
"Why?"
Victoria was pissed off.
