After getting into the car, I checked the time and it was already ten o'clock at night. It was still raining heavily outside.
I thought about the divorce agreement in the drawer and felt a little upset. Although I was reluctant to go back, this was Whaldorf City, not Salt City. I had nowhere to go. What was more, I did not have any money in my pocket.
I could not help but look out the window and daydream. The world was such a big place yet there was not a single place I could go when I was in a bad mood. It was sad just thinking about it.
After driving for some time, I realized that the route was wrong. Although I was not familiar with Whaldorf City, I knew that this was not the right way home.
I had no choice but to turn to look at Matthew.
He fixed his gaze ahead. "It's too dark now, so it'll be inconvenient for me to send you back. Go to the Zimmers' place to spend the night!”
He looked calm, and his tone was indifferent. I was surprised that he knew what I was thinking about.
Before I could say anything, the car had arrived at the Zimmers' villa.
Left with no other choice, I followed him out of the car. As soon as I entered the house, I bumped into Quinn who was walking downstairs while putting on her clothes. She looked a little nervous.
When she saw me, her anxious expression instantly relaxed. Then, she asked with a puzzled expression," What are you doing with Matthew, Wanda?"
"It was a coincidence," Matthew said and turned around to go upstairs.
Quinn glanced curiously at him, then turned to me and asked, "Why did you come here without bringing anything? Theo is anxious to death.”
I smiled faintly. "I forgot."
She did not ask any more questions and merely took out her phone to call Theo.
Not knowing what to say, I sat on the sofa in silence.
After hanging up, Quinn did not say another word and merely poured me a glass of warm water. She sat on the couch and looked at me pensively.
I did not want to explain to her but this was really awkward. Fortunately, Theo rushed over in no time at all.
He was panting and sweating. He rarely lost his composure like this. His countenance did not look so good.
Quinn went over when she saw him while muttering under her breath, "Talk it out. She's pregnant. Don't scare her away.”
