Before Rachel could step up onto the bus, Josh pulled her back with a frown.
Rachel looked back at Josh puzzledly. "Baby, are we not going on the bus?! We'll be late if we have to wait for the next one."
Still frowning, Josh answered, "Aren’t there too many people in the car? The air is not great in there. Also, your skirt is a little short, mommy, I don't think it's appropriate to take a car like this, right?"
Rachel became aware of her own outfit upon hearing Josh's words.
She tugged at the slightly-short skirt in distress. "Oh, I forgot I am wearing a short skirt."
A spacey silver car pulled up in front of Rachel and stopped.
Rachel and Josh were confused, but his phone buzzed with a notification.
It was a message from Ziggy. "Mommy is wearing a short skirt, so I ordered a car for you. I'm heading to school right now."
The car door opened as the driver smiled at Rachel and Josh.
"Good morning, please get in the car."
Rachel immediately backed up with Josh cautiously.
"Who are you? Why should we get in? Do you harbor unsavory intentions? Is this a kidnapping?"
Rachel's words made the driver shake his head. "No, you're the lucky people today! I'm doing charity on the streets and sending people whom I pick at random to any place they wanna go, and you two are the lucky ones today."
Rachel was a little dumbfounded because Ziggy's revelation of the lucky draw with prizes of a box full of clothes and shoes just the day before was enough of a surprise.
Now, even car rides were a prize?!
Having received Ziggy's text, Josh did not doubt the legitimacy of it and pulled Rachel's hand.
"Mommy, don't worry, I already recorded his car plate number. If he's playing tricks on us, we'll send this to the police. Mommy, don't worry, aren't you rushing to work today?"
Even with Josh's reassurance, Rachel was still hesitant when she entered the car, clutching onto Josh tightly.
"Um, we need to get to Minnow Nursery School and the Chapman Group."
Rachel told the driver who had already started driving.
Smiling, the driver nodded. "Yes, I know."
Rachel was suddenly on alert. "What did you say?"
The smile on the driver's face stiffened. "Oh, I said 'Yes, ma'am.' "
Rachel thought the driver was incredibly weird.
Just like that, the car zoomed through the streets. When they arrived at Minnow Nursery School, Josh immediately opened the door in preparation to leap off.
However, Rachel pulled Josh's tiny hand and planted a kiss on his forehead.
"Baby, be nice in school."
Seeing Rachel's gentleness, Josh's hands balled up tightly.
So, he turned around and left a kiss on Rachel's forehead before alighting.
"Mother, yesterday and today are the two best days of my life, thank you."
Rachel was a little stupefied as the door closed and the car pulled away from Minnow Nursery School.
Her hand slowly and automatically moved toward her chest as she frowned.
