However, she tried her best to maintain a smile. “Walking to school doesn’t look good. If we drive Lorraine to school, it’ll make a better impression.”

Matthew took out his car keys and pressed a button. Nearby, a Rolls-Royce chirped, its lights flashing three times. He walked toward the Rolls-Royce with Lorraine in his arms. “We have a car.”

Tessa looked at the Rolls-Royce, her eyes filled with astonishment. A new Rolls-Royce! The car alone was worth nearly half Evergreen Group’s value. It was far better than her car!

Tessa’s expression turned sour. Thinking about it, she realized Rachel must have bought the car, as Matthew didn't have the money. This realization shocked her even more. Rachel and Matthew had only been together for a few days, and she had already bought him such a nice car.

Seeing Matthew about to get in, Tessa quickly ran a few steps to catch up. “Matthew, I’ve already admitted my mistakes. What more do you want?”

Matthew opened the rear door and gently placed Lorraine inside. He carefully fastened her seatbelt and closed the door. When he was sure Lorraine couldn’t hear, he said, “You’re asking me what I want from you?” His voice was laced with disappointment and anger. How could Tessa even ask such a question?

Tessa was somewhat exasperated. “Before we divorced, no matter what I did wrong, you always forgave me as long as I apologized. Why are you being so petty this time? What do you want from me?”

Matthew replied coldly, “As you said, that was before we got divorced. Back then, I tolerated you because I was your husband! Now that we’re divorced, we have nothing to do with each other anymore! Why should I forgive you? You want to know what I want? I want you to stay far away!”

With that, he got into the car, started it, and slowly drove away.

Tessa’s face flushed after being scolded. She felt increasingly unsettled watching Matthew drive away in the luxury car. Thinking back, Matthew used to be so obedient to her. He had been willing to do anything for her, even going to prison for her. Why had things changed? Wasn’t he supposed to love her? It must have all been a lie!

The more Tessa thought about it, the more resentful she became. Suddenly, she thought of Lorraine. Matthew adored Lorraine; she was his weakness. Tessa felt like she had found a way to deal with Matthew!

A Rolls-Royce pulled over at the kindergarten entrance. Many parents who had come to drop off their children turned to look.

The car door opened, and Matthew got out. He opened the rear door and helped Lorraine out. He held her hand as they walked to the entrance.

A little boy got out of a car and pointed at his car. “Lori, look! This is my family’s car.”

Lorraine smiled. “Wow, it’s so pretty.”

The little boy proudly boasted, “My dad says this car is very expensive. In our class, no one else can afford one.”

The boy’s father stood nearby and smiled proudly.

Lorraine shook her head. “So what if we can’t afford it? It’s not a big deal. My dad is amazing. He can ride a bicycle, drive a tricycle, and even drive a car. Today, my dad drove me here. It’s that black, shiny car over there.”

The boy’s father was dumbfounded when he saw the Rolls-Royce Lorraine pointed at.

Matthew couldn’t help but laugh and feel touched by Lorraine’s innocent words. She was proud of his ability to drive, not just the car itself. He bent down, picked Lorraine up, and gave her a kiss.

Lorraine wiped her face. “Dad, so many kids are watching. I’m so embarrassed!”

Matthew laughed heartily. He gave her two more kisses before sending her into kindergarten. Then, he drove to Wealthwave Group.

Just as he arrived at Wealthwave Group’s building, Rachel called. She sounded anxious. “I need to go to the hospital. Where are you?”

Matthew noticed Rachel’s voice was hoarse, probably from the night-long meeting she’d had. “I’m at the company’s entrance.”

He hung up, got out of the car, opened the door, and waited for Rachel. In the distance, a car stopped, and a man got out. He was in his twenties, dressed in a suit. One hand was in his pocket as he walked to the main entrance. Jeffrey? Matthew hadn’t expected him to come to Lambda City so quickly. Moreover, the first thing he’d done upon arrival was look for Rachel.
