As soon as the words left my mouth, I almost bit my tongue off—not out of regret, but because I felt incredibly foolish.
Sure enough, Joy looked at me with a smile, but I could sense a hint of hostility behind it.
My father broke the tension, "What are you saying? You should go and see him off! Mr. Wilson has had some drinks; he shouldn't be driving."
"Oh!" I responded, standing up. "Alright!"
In the car, he told me, "Drive to Golden Star International."
My heart settled a bit. Golden Star International was much closer than Jingyuan, but I didn't understand why he wasn't going back to Jingyuan.
As if reading my mind, he said, "Jingyuan is too far. I wouldn't be comfortable with you driving back alone."
Hearing his words, I wasn't sure if I should be happy or grateful.
Could I interpret this as him caring about me?
We didn't speak much during the drive. When we arrived at Golden Star Tower, he commanded, "Come up with me."
