Chapter 4

Seeing this, Mr. Cheyne quickly came over, took the keys, and assumed the driver’s role.

Cynthia opened the passenger door and sat down, not looking at Joshua again for the entire journey.

Mr. Cheyne was apprehensive, fearing that Cynthia might blurt out something shocking later.

He hesitated. “Mrs. Neal, you…”

Cynthia’s voice was light but cold.

Mr. Cheyne glanced at the rearview mirror, and seeing that Mr. Neal had no reaction, he drove out of the parking lot in silence. The atmosphere inside the car was so heavy that Mr. Cheyne felt as if he were being suffocated.
