On the way back, Fade was the one behind the wheel.
Initially, Fade chatted with Quin for a while. But later, Quin barely spoke. Fade knew that his wife was not in a good mood, so he played some calming music quietly and then released a bit of his positive energy to help settle Quin's nerves.
Recently, Quin had been utterly exhausted. With a little of Fade's help, she leaned in her seat and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Fade's heart ached for her. He stopped the car by the road so he could carefully put his jacket over his wife. Then, he slowed down the speed of the car and drove as smoothly as possible.
Three hours later, the car finally reached Bay City at dusk.
The city was noisy, so Quin, who was sleeping soundly, woke up gradually.
She rubbed her eyes and looked out of the car window in a daze. Then, she muttered, "Have we arrived?"
Glancing at his wife's sleepy look, Fade couldn't help but feel that his wife was more adorable than usual. Smirking, he said, "We have just arrived at Bay City, and we'll reach downtown in about half an hour. You can take a nap first!"
Quin shook her head gently, pushing hair behind her ears. When she caught sight of the smile on Fade's face, she uttered, "Why are you smiling? Is there something on my face?"
Fade shook his head as he explained, "My dear, there's nothing on your face..."
"Then what are you smiling at?" Quin asked, pursing her lips in confusion.
Fade deliberately said, "I didn't expect you to drool like a child while you were sleeping."
"Ah! What? That's impossible!" Quin gasped. She was surprised when she heard this, so she quickly covered her face with her hands.
Even though Quin usually looked like an icy-cold aloof woman, she was after all a young lady who cared about her image very much. When she heard that she was drooling while she slept, she was alarmed.
"Darling, didn't you know that? Look, there is still saliva at the corner of your mouth," Fade replied as he pointed at the corner of Quin's mouth.
No, that's impossible!" Quin shook her head firmly, but she looked nervous. She still took a glance at the rearview mirror.
As a result, Quin could not help but sigh with relief after she saw herself in the mirror. She glared at Fade and scolded, "It's obvious that I didn't drool. Stop your nonsense!"
Fade chuckled when he looked at his wife's angry face. He reached out his hand and gently pinched Quin's cheek. Smilingly, he said, "Dear, I was joking with you. You really took it seriously."
"My wife is so beautiful. How could she possibly drool in her sleep?" Fade teased.
"Just joking with me?" Quin uttered when she heard what he said. She immediately glared at Fade with her dark eyes.
Then, she grabbed Fade's hand and bit it!
In an instant, Fade cried, "Dear, how could you bite me?"
"You lied to me!" Quin gave Fade a glare. Then, she put his hand down and folded her arms across her chest, as she was irked.
Seeing this, Fade could only apologise, "My good wife, I was wrong. I shouldn't have joked about this kind of thing. Please! Please forgive me!"
"No!" Quin grunted, turning her gaze towards the car window angrily.
Fade continued to plead, "Dear, if you are still angry, then bite me! You can bite me as much as you want."
Fortunately, he had just started to speed up, so his speed was not very high. In the end, the car managed to stop a meter away from the Harley Davidson motorcycle.
However, with such violent braking, Quin was caught off guard, and she fell forward. Fortunately, Quin had her seat belt on so she did not hit the window in front of her. However, it did not feel good.
When he saw this, Fade couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and his expression darkened.
He unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, confronting the rider of the Harley
Davidson bike.
But before he got out of the car, the rider of the Harley Davidson bike had already got off his motorcycle. He took off his helmet, revealing a head of messy hair. It was a young man in his mid-twenties. His name was Chuck.
Chuck walked angrily to stand by Fade's car, tapping the window a few times while he shouted, "Did you not see the traffic police just now? You almost hit me!"
Hearing this, Fade was even angrier. He opened the door and walked out of the car. He stared at Chuck and clarified, "Of course I saw the traffic police. I was slowing down."
"But then you suddenly rushed over. Don't you know that it's very dangerous?" Fade questioned.
Upon hearing this, Chuck was enraged so he yelled, "You almost hit me, boy. And now you're questioning me? Are you sick of living?"
Fade was unmoved by this threat. Firmly, he said, "Even if I hit you, it was because you violated traffic regulations."
"D*mn it, you're stubborn," Chuck cursed. He was furious and was about to hit Fade with his fist.
