You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1708: Seems to Like You

Joyce and Darrin left the Ballard Group mansion together.

Darrin started the car, and Joyce sat in the passenger seat as they sped away.

Inside the car, Joyce leaned her head against the window, gazing outside.

The night was pitch black, stretching endlessly into the distance. The moon was unusually large, radiating an eerie yellow glow, while the brilliance of the stars remained hidden. The howling wind whistled through the car windows, creating a hissing sound.

Darrin drove on a small road, and there were a few places without streetlights. Even with the high beams on, they could only illuminate a short distance ahead.

The boundless darkness plunged Joyce into deep thought. Unconsciously, she rubbed her pointed chin, her profile hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to discern her expression.

Darrin glanced at Joyce occasionally while driving.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Warner hasn't returned for almost a week. Don't you know where he went?"

Joyce shook her head, "I didn't ask.”

"Why? It wouldn't be hard to find out. I can inquire for you," Darrin tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
