Chapter 1077: A family of three

'Ugh... goddammit!' Angel screamed inwardly, but on the outside, he could only sigh in frustration. Driving Patricia home, he glanced at the rearview mirror to where she sat. 'This woman... I hate her.'

Not long ago, Angel received a call from the safe house. It was the butler, telling him that Patricia was going to call the police if he didn't let her go home. As if he wanted to keep her at his place! He was just being nice and sympathizing with her because she'd obviously been through a lot.

His face soured. 'Seriously. Once I drop her off, I'll ask Penny to replace me. If not with Mark, then with Mylo! That lunatic - why did she even send him to Sir Zoren? He's a menace. He's better suited to look after this crazy woman! They're both a menace!'

Another deep exhale escaped him, knowing that even if he kept complaining, he would still have to drive Patricia home. Besides, she already had the gall to threaten him.

Meanwhile, Patricia kept her eyes on the window quietly. She would glance at the driver's seat every once in a while, pressing her lips into a thin line. Whenever her mouth opened, her voice wouldn't come out of her throat. So, she'd end up looking away and staring out the window.

"Just so you know, I'm not going to protect you in your home," Angel's voice broke the silence after a while. "Once I drop you off, that's it."

Patricia gazed at the driver's seat and scoffed. "Are you threatening me?"

"If I threatened you, you'd know it," he replied, maintaining a calm tone despite his frustration. "I'm reminding you so you don't do anything reckless anymore."

"..." She pursed her lips as her shoulders lowered.

"Like I told you, those guys were already captured. So, they won't be able to do anything to you. Even so, there are many people like them in this world. People who would hurt others for their own gain, people who have no conscience, and people who are worse than animals," he continued solemnly. "Don't invite those kinds of people into your life, Miss Miller."

Patricia's eyes softened briefly, but she quickly looked away. She didn't say anything anymore, letting the silence settle in the car. Angel also didn't speak again until they reached a familiar subdivision.

Soon after, Angel slowed down and pulled over a few blocks from the Miller estate. He glanced at the rearview mirror, only to catch her staring out the window.
