When Charlie agreed to keep the car, Jacob and Elaine almost burst into tears of excitement.
Elaine was elated and kept clapping. She then ordered Jacob, "Jacob! Hurry up and open the door for me! Let me try the car, too! I've never been in a Rolls-Royce before in my whole life!"
Jacob was in a great mood, so he did not turn Elaine down and hurriedly took out the car key to unlock the car. Then, he opened the passenger's door for Elaine and invited her in.
"Come over here. You should sit inside. I'll show you the Rolls-Royce Star roof!"
Elaine asked in surprise, "What's a Star roof?"
Jacob beckoned to her. "Oh, you'll know once you come in and see it!”
Elaine hurriedly climbed to the front passenger seat. She was astonished when she looked up. "Goodness! There are so many stars on the roof!"
Jacob chuckled. "Look carefully. There's also shooting stars from time to time!"
Elaine was fascinated with the car and exclaimed in delight, "Oh, dear! Oh, goodness! That's too beautiful! Why don’t I just sleep in the car tonight?"
Elaine suddenly sat upright and told Jacob, "Hurry up
and get in. I want to go on a ride!"
Jacob just drove home, but now, he wanted to drive more. He wasn't done enjoying the car yet. He didn't expect Elaine to bring up the suggestion first, for he was thinking of taking the car out for another quick ride.
He agreed to Elaine without hesitation, laughing happily. "Sure, sure. I'll take you on a ride for a few rounds!"
After that, he turned to Charlie and Claire, and invited them as well. "Claire, Charlie! Why don't you both come in too? Let's go for a drive!"
