Chapter 428: My Passcode
As they pulled into the rest stop, Olivia let out a sigh of relief. Her muscles were tense from hours of driving, and she needed a break to use the facilities.. Seb glanced at her, a questioning look in his eyes.
"Why are we stopping?" he asked, his voice breaking the silence that had settled between them during the drive. Now he could say something? He’d been as silent as a ghost all these hours.
"I need a break," she replied shortly, unbuckling her seatbelt and opening the car door.
Seb watched her for a moment before offering, "I can drive for a while if you want. Give you a chance to rest."
"No thanks. It’s my car and I don’t need your help. I planned to make the drive alone."
Seb shrugged, not pushing the matter as he watched her leave the car. A glance at the watch showed him that they’d need at least another couple of hours to reach the city at Olivia’s speed. The girl still drove at the speed of an ox cart or she was purposely doing it just to torture him. Thankfully they had rules on the freeway and she was forced to drive at a slightly higher speed.
Maybe he should grab some drinks and energy bars to munch on to pass the time? As he moved to get off, his attention was distracted by the familiar ding of a message notification and he looked around.
Glancing at the screen, he noticed the message preview, and without intending to, he ended up picking the phone and reading it. With a curse, he placed down the phone, hopped out and raced to the store, grabbing a few things urgently. Thankfully, she had not returned by the time he was done with the shopping. Throwing his loot into the backseat of the car, he jumped into the driver’s seat, just as she returned.
As Olivia approached the car, she noticed Seb already seated in the driver’s seat, a slight tension in his posture. She frowned, feeling a surge of annoyance at his sudden change of position.
