Chapter 3(2)

The car stopped in front of Anya. Anya looked at the car that just stopped and was about to step away when she heard Daniel’s voice.

“Get in, I will drop you off,” he said.

Anya saw that he sat in the back with Selene.

The only space left was in front of the driver.

“It’s fine,” she rejected.

Looking at those in the car, she felt ashamed, as though she was the outsider.

“Get in!” Daniel practically scolded her.

Selene was bothered by his temper.

The Daniel she knew was very calm. His temper never flared this way.

She saw this as Anya being special and her eyes went cold.

Anya swallowed her protest and got in the car.

She opened the front door and sat.

When the door closed, Daniel finally realized their sitting position was odd.

His wife was seated in front, where his security or secretary would sit, while Selene, his assistant, sat beside him in the back.

The moment the door closed, before the car could pull away, a nurse came running out.

She knocked on the back seat window and it rolled down.

“Mrs. Shaw, the pharmacy left this for you. You forgot it when checking out,” the nurse said and the car froze.

It was clear the nurse was talking to Selene seated at the back with Daniel.

Anya suppressed the shame she felt at this moment as the nurse just handed it over and rushed away.

Anya turned to the back and stretched her hand out for the medicine and Selene passed it to her before she sat comfortably and wore her seat belt without saying a word.

“Could you drop me at the bus station?” she asked the driver.

The driver looked at Daniel through the rear view mirror to find that he was staring at Anya.

When he got no response from his boss, he nodded to Anya.

“Yes, ma’am,” he answered and drove off.

The car was quiet. Daniel was severely uncomfortable.

Seeing Anya saying nothing made the entire situation uncomfortable for him.

He was not sure why, but he could not relax.

Anya put on her earpiece and kept her eyes on the road.

There was nothing she could honestly say.

She had been embarrassed enough.

Saying anything would only embarrass her more. She was obviously the legally married wife, but she had no right to get angry or demand anything of her husband.

She felt like a joke. When the car approached the bus stop, Anya told the driver to stop. Daniel seemed to realize she was getting off and frowned.

“There is no need, I am on my way back home. Just stay in the car,” Daniel said.

“I am fine here,” Anya said, getting out of the car and heading for the bus stop.

Luckily, the bus arrived just as she got there and she got on.

Only when she sat down did she release a breath.

Today has been the most embarrassing day of her life. Since she had married Daniel , she had been shamed by his family, while his mother and father ignored it.

Still, she did not feel as embarrassed as she did today. The way Daniel treated her was out there for the world to see. She felt as though she had been publicly shamed.

Daniel was not sure why she insisted on leaving on her own when they were going to the same place.

“The penthouse or the mansion, sir?” The driver asked Daniel where to take him.

“The mansion, then you drop Selena off,” Daniel instructed and returned to work on his tablet.

He noted as they were driving that the bus Anya had taken had diverted in a different direction than their home.

The road the bus entered was one way to another side of the city. He frowned. Did Anya not check the bus’s route before entering?

He held back from calling her. He decided to let her learn the hard way.

He did not understand her stubborn character. What was she trying to prove?

Was she angry because the Nurse mistook someone else for her?

He could not wrap his head around what she was thinking.

Forget it. Since she was stubborn, it was best to let her suffer a bit.
