Chapter 662: 662: Don't Play Tricks

“Honey, I’m fine, as long as you’re not getting wet in the rain.”

Daniel Marshall’s deep voice was as charming and entrancing as a cello’s melody, tantalizingly pleasant, stirring an impulse to hear him speak again.

Suddenly, Olivia Jenkins felt a surge of rationality, steadying her cold emotional walls.

She said nothing more and quickened her pace.

Suddenly, a gusty wind blew, turning the umbrella in Daniel’s hand inside out. Instinctively, Daniel raised his long coat above his head to shield Olivia. He then faced the wind and struggled to right the umbrella.

Fortunately, the umbrella quickly regained its shape, and Daniel managed to use it to cover most of Olivia’s body.

Olivia’s expression remained cold, but inside, her heart was quivering slightly. She glanced at Daniel.

Under the dim streetlight, Olivia saw that Daniel’s face was wet and his hair was slightly damp.

Even though a strange warmth welled up within her, Olivia pretended to be nonchalant and continued to stride forward unhurriedly.

Daniel didn’t speak either. He continued to hold Olivia tightly, protecting her from the rain, ensuring she didn’t catch a chill.

…

Once they reached the car, Olivia unlocked it and immediately climbed in, completely ignoring Daniel.

Daniel remained standing by the car, his eyes trained unblinkingly on Olivia’s vehicle.

In the car, Olivia had already buckled her seat belt, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t start the car.

In a moment of frustration, Olivia cursed under her breath, thumping the steering wheel in irritation.

This was so infuriating! Of all times, why did the car have to break down now!

The strong wind was howling, the rain was pouring, the night was deep and quiet – how was she supposed to get home?

So annoying!

Her mood was spoiled, and her temper flared!

Daniel stood by the car for a while. Seeing that Olivia didn’t drive away, he knocked on the car window, “Honey, what’s wrong?”

Olivia faintly heard Daniel’s voice, but she didn’t want to acknowledge him.

Olivia pulled an umbrella from the glove box, opened the car door, took the umbrella, and walked over to lift the car hood.

Immediately, Daniel came over to see, “Honey, did your car break down?”

Using her phone as a flashlight, Olivia looked under the car’s hood, yet she still couldn’t identify what was stopping the car from starting.

Previously, after her car rear-ended Daniel’s Porsche, it had been sent off for repairs.

It had been running fine for a while, yet tonight, of all nights, it was so unlucky that it wouldn’t start.

In utmost irritation, Olivia wore a sullen expression and didn’t bother with Daniel.

Still, Daniel gently said, “Honey, why don’t you drive my car? Tomorrow, I’ll have yours checked. Or, I can buy you a new one.”

Suddenly, Olivia let the car’s hood drop, creating a loud noise.

She didn’t say anything other than giving Daniel a piercing look.

Once back in the car, Olivia tried starting it again, but it still wouldn’t start.

Daniel knocked on the car window again, “Honey, drive my car. It’s late now, go home and get some rest.”

Given it was already late, it was troublesome to call for a car, and besides, her house was quite a distance from here. It would be dangerous for a woman to travel alone at night… After some thought, Olivia got out of the car.

“I’m borrowing your car. Don’t follow me or try any tricks,” she warned.

Daniel nodded earnestly. Then, he asked Simon Howard to get down from the car and gave it to Olivia.

With a warning filled glare at Daniel, Olivia sat in Daniel’s Rolls-Royce and drove away, leaving both Daniel and Simon Howard behind without a second thought.

Indignantly, Simon Howard said, “Couldn’t she have dropped us off downtown? It’s freezing, windy and rainy, and she just leaves us here, heartless! You just got discharged from the hospital, and she doesn’t care. Unfeeling!”
