Chapter 299

Taken aback, Edward whipped his head around to look at Erin. He immediately understood when he saw the beads of sweat on her forehead and the goosebumps all over her arms. Lips pursed, he headed back to her side.

Time had never felt this slow to Erin before. Things already felt like they had been dragging on for a while, but Edward’s slow pacing made things worse for her. She glared daggers at him when he stopped to cast one last glance at the group of youngsters before finally running back to the car.

Erin’s gaze was equally as frosty as her voice by then. She was quick to bark at him, "Get in."

That was the first time Edward had seen the icy side of Erin. However, he knew why she was upset, so he kept quiet and obediently got into the driver's seat. Edward took longer than expected, not knowing how to respond to the group of youngsters that caused him so much trouble.

He could tell some of the teenagers in the group were genuinely sorry but had to stick up for Maurice since they were friends.

Edward had not interacted with other people for some time, so he did not know what to say except cast a deadpan stare at the group. He pondered how to react suitably while returning to the driver's seat.
