Cordy stood on the bleak street, feeling no disappointment at all.
Lucas had every reason to leave her out here, but it was just a little awkward for her since her phone was out of juice.
She had no way to call for help or a taxi, and she was standing on a street in the quiet outskirts of North City in the wee hours of the morning.
There was no car in sight, let alone people.
She did not even know where she was or where she should be going.
She shuddered as a cool breeze billowed—it was really cold.
She hugged herself, but just as she hesitated between leaving or waiting, a familiar car returned and stopped beside her.
While Cordy frowned, the car window wound downward, revealing Lucas’ smug face. “Get in!”
To be honest, she was surprised that he turned around.
“Get in!’ he snapped impatiently then-anyone who did not know better would be convinced that they had a blood feud.
Still, Cordy gritted her teeth and got in.
The night was dark and cold, and she had to prioritize personal safety over childish tantrums.
Who knew what terror awaited on that quiet street.
Even as she got in the car, Lucas threw a warm coat at her and snapped,” Putthat on!”
While Cordy glared at him, he snapped in annoyance, “Don’t blame me when you get sick!”
Cordy was speechless, but she put it on anyway.
She could not help tightening her grasp over it as she picked up the familiar scent.
“Don’t get any funny ideas,” Lucas said icily, keeping the back of her head to him. “I only came back because I have a conscience.”
Cordy did not reply. novelbin
Right now, she just wanted to go home-anything else was not worth considering.
However, her lack of response prompted Lucas to suddenly turn at her and yell on top of his lungs, “Don’t you hear me?! I don’t have feelings for you!”
Up front, the driver flinched, just as a bike streaked toward the car from the opposite direction at breakneck speed.
The driver jammed his foot on the brake and the car shook.
“Ah!” Cordy exclaimed in surprise and fell toward Lucas.
Lucas finally realized then that was holding Cordy tightly in his arms, and she realized that too.
They promptly pulled away from each other, their confrontation a moment ago reduced to sheer awkwardness.
Somehow, it was starting to get unbearably hot and stuffy in the car, and Lucas wound down the window.
As a cool breeze gushed inside, Cordy’s head cleared considerably.
She was definitely drunk tonight, which was why her emotions were stirring so bizarrely.
She would never feel this way toward anyone or anything, and an occasional racing of the heart did not prove a thing.
