Chapter 74

Aveline walked for nearly an hour before she finally managed to flag down a taxi. After giving the address, she stared out the window.

It was late at night, and there wasn't a soul on the road.

The driver glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Miss, why are you walking alone on the street so late? It's not safe."

Aveline snapped back to reality and looked at the driver. He was wearing a hat and a mask, only his eyes were visible, which made her feel uneasy.

"I had a fight with my husband. He'll be here soon," she said.

The driver responded, "Why run out after a fight? It's dangerous if you meet bad people."

Aveline smiled, "You're very kind, driver. I'll be more careful next time."

The driver smiled and didn't say anything more.

Aveline remained alert until the car reached her apartment complex. The driver then asked, "Which building do you live in? I can drop you off right at the entrance so you don't have to walk." Aveline replied, "No need, thank you."
