Chapter 174 You Were Too Rash

Josephine was stunned. Then, she immediately opened the door, hopped in, and put on her

Lewis didn’t say anything as he reversed the car.

The window was open. The breeze brought along a faint hint of alcohol.

Josephine was worried. Lewis drank alcohol, yet he was driving.
