In the quiet car, Olivia Wynne sat in the back seat, staring out the window, avoiding a glance at Zachary Fairchild in the driver's seat.
After what he'd said in his office, Olivia didn't know how to respond. The questions she'd wanted to ask were now stuck in her throat.
Just then, Mrs. Fairchild called, asking them to come back to the family estate for a visit.
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Zachary, "Since your mother wants us to go back, we should head over now. Let's not keep her waiting."
And so, that was how things stood now: Zachary drove, Olivia sat in the back, and neither of them initiated a conversation.
The car moved swiftly, and they soon arrived at the family estate.
At the estate, the sky hadn't yet darkened, but the main lights were already on, casting a brilliant glow on the path and making the colors seem much more vivid.
