Chapter 492 He Could Not Afford to Lose His Dignity

Sitting in the vehicle, Christopher took another look at his phone. Neither missed calls nor texts were present. It was the third day of the deadline he had set for Fanny, and she had still not made an effort to get in touch with him.

Christopher’s knuckles became white as he clenched his mobile phone in a restless grasp. The sky was still dark and had poor vision when the automobile entered the villa neighborhood and came to a stop outside of Christopher’s house.

“We have arrived,” the driver informed Christopher, who had not yet got out of the vehicle.

It was at that moment that Christopher snapped out of his reverie, unlocked the car, quickly got out.

“Hey, you haven’t paid!” The taxi driver gave a frantie call.

Christopher stepped back, frowning, and looked in his pockets, but they were empty. He felt**** in his jeans pocket, but there was nothing there. He carried nothing but his clothing and his cell phone. Christopher remembered he still needed to bring money, recalling that the night before he had hurriedly picked up a jacket and headed out. He had not driven his car back after drinking, so it was still parked close to the pub.

The driver chose to park the car and approach Christopher after observing him looking about in vain and being worried that he could drive off without paying.

Trying to keep his cool in the face of his situation, Christopher assured the driver, “I will go inside to get the money.”

The driver kept glancing at him, as though attempting to cast doubt on his sincerity.

“You have no money on you?” the driver questioned sceptically as Christopher put up the awkward interrogation.
