Although there were three people in the car, it was so quiet that they could hear the sound of air flowing through the air conditioner.
Julia sat on the right back seat and could clearly see the driver sucking in his belly as if he was guilty of even breathing loudly.
She could not help but turn her face toward the window because of the sweet smell of pine needles in the car.
She comforted herself that it was nothing but a hitchhiking.
However...
It did not seem to be her way home. The car drove more and more remote instead.
Does he want to drag her to some desolate outskirts and bury her on the spot?
Wasn't it just a slap?
Was it necessary to rise to the level of life—and—death?
The more Julia thought about it, the more panicked she became. Her fingertips trembled slightly. How could she ignore the fact that Ford was so vindictive?
Not to mention those who tried to touch him, the last person who scolded Ford probably already vanished into the air.
Nevertheless, not only did she curse, she also beat him up.
Although she felt that she was awesome just now, she couldn't bear to make such a big ruckus.
Her principle was that as long as she didn't provoke the protagonist, she could practically run wild in this metropolitan love drama.
It was colloquially known as the big bug in the drama.
Ahhh!
How could she be so silly.
She personally buried the rest of her life.
When she was nervous, she would play with her thumb. Now, her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her hands were knitted back and forth.
Ford glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Why are you blushing?"
"Ah?" Julia's nerves tensed up as she touched her burning cheeks, thinking that she was frightened by him.
'I am not having a butterfly effects okay!'
'You better not think of something else!'
She really want to beat him to death!
However, she was in his territory now. She did not dare to speak openly anymore and casually said, "It's too hot."
Ford took a deep look at her blushing cheeks, crossed his legs, and instructed in a low voice, "Open the window."
The weather in late autumn was of changing uncertainty. Julia wore a thin trench coat for the sake of looking good today.
After the car window was rolled down, a violent cold wind blew on Julia's face like a knife, and a chill penetrated through her thin coat into every part of her body.
It was so fucking cold.
Julia felt helpless. What the hell.
Can't you just turn on the air conditioner?
Even though she was trembling a little, she had to endure and could not slap herself in the face.
"Well..." She hesitated. She had to find out where she was going.
Ford raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing his inquiries. Julia didn't dare to look him, her eyes rolling around.
"Well... I wasn't sure if I had closed the windows when I came out this morning. It looks like it's going to rain..."
After saying that, she looked at him anxiously and said seriously, "I want to go back and collect my clothes."
But she heard him say, "As far as I know, there is no place to dry clothes in Cloud Bay Apartment, and the windows are automatically sensed."
"..."
She completely forgot that she had moved to a luxurious mansion.
Cloud Bay Apartment's humanized service was simply so good. The windows could recognize the water vapor and be automatically closed. There was no place to dry clothes indeed. Every house was equipped with a light dryer.
She scratched her head and added, "I forgot to turn the tap off in the morning. If it spreads out, I'll get complained."
Ford's gaze flicked around her face, and he lightly lifted the corner of his mouth. Then, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Julia was scared by him and didn't know what he was going to do.
"Contact the butler of Cloud Bay Apartment 3302." He said, his eyes sweeping through Julia's face, "The owner said the tap is not turned off.
"No need, no need." Julia hurriedly interrupted, "I remembered that there was someone at my home, so I can make a call."
Then, under Ford's sparkling gaze, Julia slowly took out her phone and dialed Lily's number.
At this moment, Lily was lying on the bed in Cloud Bay Apartment, her legs shaking the bed with excitement.
Andrew had just followed her in Facebook and said that he would come to see her tonight.
Just when she couldn't find anyone to share her joy, Julia's phone call came and she instantly answered.
"Julia, I have a good news."
On the phone, Lily's voice was deafening, and she was brimming over with joy.
However, the driver was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hear clearly, so he closed the window thoughtfully.
Julia uneasily tilted her body slightly. She placed her phone by the window, afraid that Ford would notice a flaw.
"Darling, help me see if the tap at home is turned off."
She then heard Lily replied, "You know he will come to see me."
"Turn if off?..."
Lily continued, "I'm so happy. I need to get up and get dressed."
"Yes, I have something to do now."
Lily added, "You can come back late tonight. Don't ruin our atmosphere."
"Ok, I will go back early."
Lily was confused.
"What did you say? I'm not——"
"I'm hanging up. Bye—bye."
Lily was left speechless.
After Julia finished speaking, she quickly cut off the phone, afraid that Lily's shout would come out again.
"Darling?" Ford's lips curled into a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Just a friend." Julia replied casually, her words unclear and ambiguous.
It didn't matter even if he found out. After all, she didn't mention if this darling was a man or a woman.
The question was where were you going with your ex—wife?
She then, "Where are we going now?"
Ford swept his gaze over her with an unknown meaning. After two seconds, he said in a low voice, "You'll know when we arrive."
Then, he leaned against the back of his seat and closed his eyes to recover his spirit, not saying anything else.
Julia was about to go crazy. Why was she still being manipulated by her ex—husband after she got divorced?
However, the damn man looked really calm.
It seemed that he didn't want to kill her.
Forget it. Just this one last time.
After comforting herself, Julia obediently took off her shoes and closed her eyes to rest. Her posture was not graceful.
In the past, she was Mrs. Ainsworth And she always maintained her elegance and grace in front of Ford and the Ainsworth family.
But now she wasn't, anyway. She was already vulgar in the eyes of those upper—class people, and there was no need to conceal herself in the future.
The car stopped steadily at a magnificent base. Ford had already opened his eyes, and there was no movement beside him.
He tilted his head and saw Julia leaning against the window, sleeping soundly.
There were still uncovered ankles under her long skirt, and her shoes were tossed under the seat.
No matter how one looked at it, it formed an unsightly scene.
Ford was a person who valued words and deeds very much. Anyone in the company who was not dressed properly would definitely be fired immediately if he saw them.
However, at this moment, he actually felt she was somewhat adorable.
Seeing her sleeping peacefully, he had a sudden aspiration to stay with her forever.
It seems good.
The trembling phone woke Julia up. She was still a little confused and picked it up.
As she spoke, Ford got out of the car. The driver opened the other door and asked Julia to get off.
Julia then tried to stretched her feet into her shoes. But after a few tries, she still couldn't get her feet in.
She lowered her head to take a look.
Oops...
It turned out she wore them wrongly.
Just as she was about to bend over and change her shoes, her slender white ankle was suddenly held in his hand.
His fingers were cold and she trembled consequently.
