Joseph’s face clouded over and shook off her hand.
“What are you doing? You scared me out of my wits.” Hayden gave him a disgruntled look.
“Didn’t you say that we broke up? Then why are you still touching me?” Joseph’s voice was cold and full of resentment.
Hayden seemed to have taken it for granted, “Otherwise, how do I unlock it? Don’t be so fussy about it, okay?”
“You can just ask for the password.”
There wasn’t only a method for unlocking the phone.
Hayden was a bit speechless as she turned off the phone and asked him, “Alright. Tell me. What’s the password?”
He paused for a second and said in the cab, “Your birthday.”
Hayden was stunned.
She thought that they were pretty sensible and not even having much romantic for their loved ones. She didn’t even check her boyfriend’s phone or email like other ordinary girls.
They needed to have some personal space too.
So this was the first time she knew that the password of Joseph’s phone was actually her birthday date.
The cab quieted down, and they could even hear the sound of waves lapping on the reef outside as well as the evening breeze whistling through the hills. She was disbelieving as she typed her birthday.
It fitted perfectly.
And so inevitably, she called to mind the time when Joseph celebrated her birthday together with her this year. They left the cemetery after paying tribute to her mother. And he was still holding her hand that time and being so confident in front of Scarlett.
What did he say to Scarlett back then?
There was once she had a doubt about it in her mind, but the two of them clammed up about it. And she had no answers from them.
“Going where?”
Joseph’s clear voice sounded as if nothing was wrong.
“Oh. To Sea View Town.” Hayden came back to her senses, looking at him, and she just remembered to call Alayna Cole.
The sound of the engine overshadowed the sound of the wind. Hayden examined the phone and rolled her eyes at Joseph, “Your phone doesn’t have a signal too, isn’t it? How am I supposed to make a call with it?”
Joseph frowned, “When did I say that my phone got signal?”
“Aren’t you rich and have GPS on your phone, which is different from us?”
Joseph was speechless for Hayden’s argument.
“Ms. Downey, in your eyes, does the rich have to drive his own?”
At this moment, wasn’t that the rich driving and bringing her to find the way?
As they were bickering, the car chugged suddenly, and they were slowing down.
Soon, Joseph stopped the car by the roadside. They just moved on for less than a minute, and Hayden’s Audi still could be seen parked right behind them.
“What’s wrong?”
Hayden was puzzled, and Joseph pointed at the fuel gauge, “We’re out of fuel.”
The fuel level warning light had already come on, and it was empty now.
“Oh my gosh. What kind of person are you?” Hayden couldn’t believe it, “The fuel level was low already and why didn’t you refuel?”
Joseph was melancholy, but he changed his face after hearing her words, “Wasn’t it because of you?”
There was a gas station after he went to the rest area on the highway. But he turned back after receiving the call from Kevin Jackman. He rushed all the way and had no time to refuel.
Hayden calmed down after he roared.
