Chapter 153: professional driver
Freya’s lips curved into a smile, but her blue eyes softened, her voice gentle. "That’s okay, Kael. It’s just another reason you need me around. I’ll drive you wherever you need to go. No worries."
Kael’s face lifted, his hazel eyes meeting Freya’s, a flicker of relief easing his tension. "That sounds better," he said, his grin returning, softer now. He glanced at Rhea, his tone teasing. "I’ll only ride when Freya’s driving, not you."
"What? Why?" Rhea’s amber eyes flashed, her hands planting on her hips, her crimson hair bouncing with indignation. "I’m a professional driver!"
"Oh, really?" Kael asked, his grin sharpening, his hazel eyes glinting. "You got a license to prove it?"
Rhea’s mouth opened, then snapped shut, her amber eyes darting away as if he’d hit a nerve. "They... don’t give licenses to professional drivers," she said, sticking to her story, her voice defiant but shaky.
"Sure," Kael said, his tone dripping with sarcasm, his grin widening.
"What? I’m being honest!" Rhea insisted, her cheeks flushing, her amber eyes glaring.
Kael and Freya chuckled, exchanging a glance as they left the bedroom, Rhea trailing behind, her scowl half-hearted.
"Let’s have dinner," Kael said, his voice lighter now. "And maybe after, we go for a late-night drive." He looked at Freya, his hazel eyes hopeful. "Will you drive me around?"
Freya’s warm smile lit up her blue eyes, her platinum-cyan hair catching the hallway’s dim light.
"I’d be more than happy to," she said, her voice soft but certain.
