Without even opening his eyes, Lucas replied coolly, "I have so many cars. I'll sit in whichever one I want."

Aveline was speechless.

She decided not to say anything more. Closing the car door, the vehicle started and drove away from the nursing home.

At that moment, Lucas's phone rang. He pulled it out to see that it was a call from Aaron.

Aaron snickered. "What's going on? You're so grumpy just because I didn't go with you?"
