Charles kept his lips tight and stared straight ahead. His focused and serious expression left Noelleno time to think about anything else.

She gripped the handle with both hands as Charles accelerated again, overtaking another car at thenext bend.

Noelle felt the wind rushing past her ears. It was an indescribable sensation. Her heart pounded inher throat, and she felt like she might scream at any moment.

As Charles overtook another car, Noelle heard someone outside curse in awe, “Holy crap! Thislegend!”

Noelle bit her pale lip, glancing at Charles under the dim interior light. The man outside was right–Charles really was something else.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Noelle bit her lip and asked, “Were you a race car driver?”

Charles raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into a smile, “Scared now?”

Noelle shook her head. Seeing that Charles could still talk to her, she could not help but worry. “I’dbetter not distract you. Just focus on driving!” Then, she added, “Actually, you just need to avoidbeing overtaken by the last car to win, you know!”

Charles smiled. From her angle, Noelle found his thin lips quite appealing. He replied, “Don’tworry.”

“I’m not worried. Just focus on driving!”

“I’m not,” said Charles.

“Huh?” Noelle was confused by his seemingly unrelated comment. “Not what?”

“I’m not a race car driver.” He chuckled. “I just liked playing with cars when I was younger.”

Noelle’s mouth twitched. If this was his idea of playing around, the professional drivers from earlierwould be furious to hear it!

“Hold on,” Charles said. As he spoke, a bright yellow car sped past them. The driver wavedmockingly at Charles. “See you later, buddy!”

Charles pressed his lips together and gripped the steering wheel, then floored the accelerator.

As they went up the mountain, everything around them fell silent except for the sound of speedingcars. Noelle kept her eyes on Charles. Despite racing, he appeared calm and collected. If not forthe increasing speed, Noelle might have thought Charles was just taking a leisurely drive.

“Talk to me,” Charles‘ cool voice broke the silence.

“Talk about what?” Noelle asked, puzzled.

“Anything.” Charles smiled. “Don’t forget why we started this.”

Noelle furrowed her brows, remembering that they had started racing to lift her spirits. She glaredat Charles. “Could you stop reminding me?”

“We need to resolve this. Is your mood better now?”

Charles maintained a steady speed, neither overtaking the cars ahead nor allowing those behind topass. He chatted leisurely with Noelle, “Hmm?”

“No, but if you can overtake everyone, I might feel better!” Noelle teased. “I doubt you can, though!”

“Is that so?” Charles smiled. “If my wife says so, then I must come in first to meet herexpectations.”

He glanced at Noelle and said, “Hold tight!” He overtook several cars at the next bend in an instant.
