After getting in the car, Alice Turner didn't dare stay there any longer. She immediately started the engine and drove back onto the road. Only when she saw they were far away from the traffic officer did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thomas Fisher! If you can't keep your mouth shut next time, I'll tear it off!" Thinking about how the man beside her had just spewed nonsense to the officer, Alice wished she could kick him out of the car.
"I'm afraid you won't have the heart to do it then."
Thomas leaned over, tilted his head, and smiled at the woman driving. To Alice, his smile was so punchable and infuriating.
Alice glared indignantly at the man leaning toward her. If she could, she really wanted to abandon him by the roadside and leave.
She was starting to regret it now, regretting that she had volunteered to drive him home. Why should she care about him? He's not her anything.
