Stella glanced at Matthew, feeling embarrassed.
Slater raised an eyebrow, continuing, “No need to worry. I’ll ride with Matthew.”

His natural tone surprised Stella.

The impact reverberated throughout the vehicle.

The vehicle continued on its course smoothly.
Stella gradually regained her composure.
She glanced over at Matthew, who was seated in the driver’s seat, and couldn’t help but express her concern.
“Mr. Clark, please be careful. We’re not in a hurry.”
Matthew’s response was curt and unfriendly.
“Sorry.”
Sensing his foul mood, Stella wisely refrained from saying more.
In the back seat, Slater was still rubbing his head where it had hit the window during the abrupt turn. Stella turned to him with concern.
“Are you alright?”
