When people are busy, it always feels like time goes by so fast.

Mia's learning to drive at home harder than ever these days. Whenever Leo was too tired to resist, Mia would always push him to go to sleep. "Aren't you going to sleep?" Leo would ask. Mia shook her head, "I'll go in a bit."

At first, Leo actually believed her. One night, he got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and saw the car lights on in the yard. It freaked him out so much he thought he was seeing ghosts. He ran downstairs to find out that Mia was still practicing her driving.

"Mia, it's already three in the morning! Are you planning on surprising Andre with your dark circles when he gets back?"

Mia was having a hard time with reverse parking. Leo just ended up being her punching bag.

Then Leo was beaten up by Mia.

Mia pulled two all-nighters. She would sleep during the day in class and practice driving at home at night.

She even took the car out on the road to sharpen her driving skills.

Finally, Friday arrived. Mia thought back on her driving progress and cheerfully said, "My husband is coming back soon."

Jade was also excited, "I'm going to my grandparents' house. My brother promised to drive me there."

Leo was the only one not excited. "Jade, can you take me too?"

"Sorry. Face the reality."

Leo turned to Mia, "Can you help me out?"

Considering all the help Leo had given her with her driving, Mia decided to help. "I'll do my best to protect you, but Andre still has the final say."

Jade joked, "What's Leo's life worth? I bet even if Mia wanted Andre's life, he'd be willing to give it to you."

Mia shyly played around with Jade.

Another day passed just like that.

At the school gate, Chad was already waiting for Jade.

His trunk was filled with gifts. They brought them home for their grandparents. On the way home, Jade insisted on driving. Chad had no choice but to give in. When they reached a less crowded area, he handed the wheel over to her. He switched on the hazard lights when he sat in the passenger seat.
