I did not get much sleep the entire night.
It was dawn when I finally lightly fell asleep.
There was the sound of the door opening, which woke me up. I got up. Matthew had entered the room. "You have five minutes to wash up. I’ll come over later."
He immediately ordered me to wash up in five minutes. After yesterday, his attitude toward me had completely changed.
I cleaned myself up as quickly as possible. Matthew was really punctual. He immediately entered my room five minutes later as if he knew for sure I was done washing up. He cut to the chase without hesitation.
"We’re leaving."
I followed him out of the courtyard and into the car.
We were driving smoothly on the road. I looked out the window. It was only dawn, and many of the shops were not open yet. Only a few were. To be honest, I still felt a little sad given Aunt Nessa was a kind person.
"Did you not tell Aunt Nessa anything before leaving like this?"
"We have to leave as soon as possible after you exposed yourself like that. It’s not like you two were familiar anyway." Matthew's tone was cold. He did not even look at me.
I did not speak anymore and swallowed all my words into my stomach.
There were fewer and fewer shops on both sides. It looked like we were about to leave the village.
Suddenly, Matthew stopped the car.
In front of the car, I could see Theo taking the lead. Behind him were rows of cars, including the police.
He really came!
I was delighted. Without waiting for Matthew to speak, I unbuckled my seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car. Just as I got off, however, Matthew also reached for me at the fastest speed possible and prevented me from moving forward.
