Soon, a car sped toward him from afar before coming to a halt before him.
Kenneth immediately narrowed his eyes when he saw the person inside the car after the door opened.
“My savior,” Alexia greeted.
Kenneth swept a glance across her expressionlessly and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Hearing that, Alexia answered, “Mike couldn't leave because he's keeping an eye on the situation at the scene. He didn't feel comfortable asking someone else to come over, so he sent me.”
Although she knew Kenneth wasn't fond of her, all she wanted was a chance to see and repay him.
Besides, she deeply believed that the person who saved her back then was kind to her.
Therefore, her eyes lit up when she looked at Kenneth.
On the other hand, Kenneth was deep in thought when he gazed at her.
Seeing that he wasn't getting into the car, Alexia said, “My savior, we don't have much time. Are you not coming in?”
Kenneth was giving her a deadpan look, and his displeasure turned into a complicated feeling. Despite wanting to throw a tantrum, he knew it would be a waste of time to ask someone else to fetch him. At that moment, he couldn't afford to waste time.
Hence, he shot her another look before opening the door to the back seat and hopping in.
Alexia saw that and pursed her lips. “My savior, sit tight. I'm going to start driving.”
Kenneth said nothing in response.
Alexia then started the car and drove.
She drove extremely steadily, and she would occasionally raise her gaze toward the rearview mirror to glance at Kenneth behind her. Whenever she looked at him, he was staring down at his phone. Although he was frowning, he still couldn't conceal the handsome facial features he had.
Alexia recalled the first time she saw him, and he looked exactly the same then. After so many years, his handsome facial features remain. However, the aura he's exuding is a lot more intense now. Compared to before, he appears more mature. Furthermore, he's even more alluring than I expected.
With that in mind, Alexia curled her lips into a faint smile. We've never spent time alone together. Could time move slower? Even better, could it just freeze? That would be nice.
Right when she had those thoughts in her mind, Kenneth suddenly raised his gaze and looked in front. Their gazes met.
Alexia's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.
On the contrary, Kenneth instantly frowned.
He then glanced outside and shifted his gaze back toward Alexia. “Stop the car!”
Alexia didn't know what was going on, but she did as she was told.
Upon stopping the car, Alexia looked behind and asked, “What is it, my savior?”
Saying nary a word, Kenneth swung open the car door, climbed out, and went to the side of the driver's seat to motion her to exit the vehicle.
Seeing that, Alexia got out of the car.
“I'm driving,” Kenneth said before climbing into the driver's seat.
It was a jeep, so Kenneth immediately adjusted the seat after he got in.
Alexia saw what he was doing, so she quickly climbed into the car and sat behind him.
After she had gotten into her seat, Kenneth immediately started the car engine and drove.
His movements were cool, and the car sped away after screeching sounds were heard from the tires.
Alexia was looking at Kenneth intently from behind. For some reason, even if it's just a side profile, a back view, or even a strand of hair, he still looks so captivating. I've seen a lot of guys in my life, but he's just in a different league compared to the others. Heck, even his aloofness is attractive!
Alexia just kept staring at him and couldn't help losing herself in his handsomeness.
