Chapter 682: Chapter 674: A Certain Smell

Shirley Lockwood quickly lowered the car window, stuck her little head out, and waved, shouting, "Pretty Lady! Over here, over here!"

When Tiana Grayson saw Rory, she was very happy too.

She walked over to the side of the car and called out with a smile, "Rory."

Rory opened the car door with a wide grin. "Pretty Lady, come sit with me."

With the door open, Tiana Grayson immediately saw Archie Lockwood sitting next to Rory. She nodded nervously, "Mr. Lockwood."

"Mm, you sit in the passenger seat," Archie Lockwood said coolly, nodding with a stern expression.

"Oh, okay." ’It’s all the same to me where I sit,’ she thought. ’I’ll be just as nervous and scared either way.’

’The icy aura coming off Archie Lockwood is probably enough to suffocate someone just by sharing the same space.’

’She couldn’t understand how a man as cold as Mr. Lockwood could have a daughter as adorable as Rory.’

When Rory heard Tiana was going to sit in the passenger seat, she pouted unhappily but didn’t say anything more.

Leo Joyce’s heart had been in turmoil ever since he saw Tiana, and now, his hands gripped the steering wheel even tighter.

’To think that he, Leo Joyce, who feared nothing and no one, was now actually afraid of Tiana Grayson.’

Tiana reached out to open the car door, but just as she was about to get in, she froze.

She stared at the man in the driver’s seat. His hands were clenched around the steering wheel, and he was looking straight ahead as if he hadn’t even seen her. A wave of sorrow washed over her. She couldn’t quite describe the feeling—it was just an incredibly deep ache.

"Pretty Lady, why aren’t you getting in?" Seeing Tiana staring at Leo Joyce, Rory stood up, holding onto the seat for balance. She tilted her head and asked with a smile.

"Oh, right away." At the sound of Rory’s voice, Tiana frantically tore her gaze away.

After she got in and shut the door, a dark figure suddenly leaned over her. Tiana’s heart leaped into her throat. She looked up in a panic at Leo Joyce, who was looming over her, completely unsure of what he was about to do.

Just as she nervously opened her mouth to ask what he was doing, Leo reached past her, grabbed the seatbelt, and buckled it for her. Then, as if nothing had happened, he settled back into his seat and started the car, pulling away from the curb.

She nervously glanced over at Leo Joyce, but just as she was about to look away, he happened to turn toward her. She hastily averted her gaze and lowered her head, but her heart still shamelessly started to pound...

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became inexplicably oppressive.

Rory pouted, fanning the air with her small hand. She looked at Tiana with a teasing smile. "Pretty Lady, do you smell something?"

"Hm?" ’A smell?’

Seeing that Tiana didn’t understand, Rory said with theatrical exaggeration, "Whoa, the smell is so strong, I can barely breathe!"p>"Rory, that’s enough nonsense!" Archie Lockwood took one look at the girl and knew exactly what she was up to. He snapped in a cold, stern voice.

"But I’m not! I really do smell it. Don’t you, Pretty Lady?"

Tiana looked at Rory, completely baffled. "What smell?"

"The smell of a secret affair! Do you smell it, Pretty Lady? It’s really strong, isn’t it?"

Tiana’s face flushed red. She turned her head away in embarrassment, sat up straight, and didn’t dare let her eyes wander anymore.

Seeing Tiana’s reaction, Rory couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. "Pretty Lady, are you blushing?"
