"It's Dr. Yonng."
The driver (Albert) recognized Pearl. He once met her at the hospital. "Mr. Zellweger, should we give her a ride?"
Sitting on the back seat, Richard didn't say a word. When the light turned green, he moved his vision away from her and said resolutely. "No."
Albert shivered. He kept quiet and immediately stepped on the accelerator, driving away.
It was raining cats and dogs. The thunder roared across the city. It seems that the rain was trying to wash away everything in the city.
Richard's brows was drawing together.
Inside the car, it was so quiet that there they could only hear the rain pattering on the window. The car was approaching a turn and the thunder rumbled again. Richard's temple suddenly throbbed and ordered abruptly, "Albert, turn round."
At the bus stop, Pearl was checking at an e-hailing app on phone. She sighed for she saw the long waiting list. She took out some tissue from the bag and wiped away the rainwater on her neck.
Her clothes were drenched so that they all stuck to her body. She was starting to think she would definitely catch a cold.
She was quivering. All of a sudden, a black car stopped in front of her.
Pearl was confused. The window rolled down; it was a very familiar face.
Richard glanced at her coldly, "Get in."
Pearl was surprised. Maybe because Richard's tone was very forceful or she was too cold to resist the temptation of a shelter, so she got into the car absentmindedly.
When she got into the car, Richard asked "Where do you live?"
"Huh?" Pearl suddenly realized there was a problem.
The twins were at home now. And if Richard saw them...
"I live quite far. I think I'll go back on my own." Pearl tried to open the door hurriedly.
However, the door was locked when she got in. It was impossible for her to open manually. "The door..."
Before she finished her words, Richard ordered, "Albert, Zellweger Mansion."
Richard was now staying in Zellweger Mansion.
After saying that, he watched at Pearl from the corner of his eyes and said, "I don't mind bringing you back home."
Pearl's shocked. "No, thanks. Please just let me get off. I'll hail a cab."
