Chapter 153 "There's no need to go to such trouble, Mrs. Lewis Senior. You can just dropoff at a bus station. I'll take the bus home," Teresa said.
"That won't do!" Anna said. Then, something occurred to her. "I remember you cwith your husband, right? Where is he? Why did he leave you alone here? There aren't any bus stations nearby or anything." Teresa felt a little awkward at the mention of Eric. Still, it wasn't appropriate to talk about her problems to an outsider. "He had something urgent to attend to at work, so I told him to leave without me," she explained.
Anna had enough life experience to tell something was amiss. Despite Teresa's words, she could tell Eric didn't treat her well.

They would probably get into a bigger fight if she were to send Teresa hnow. After sconsideration, Anna said, "I have a request to make of you, Teri. I hope you'll agree." "What is it?" "I'm a pretty picky eater. Vincent hired a few nutritionists for me, but none of their cooking is to my liking. Seeing you today remindedof your cooking. If it's convenient for you, could you cover to my place to cook my dinner? "It doesn't need to be too fancy or complicated. I just want to have sregular, home-cooked food. At least it'll satisfy my cravings." Anna sounded earnest, but Teresa still glanced at Kelly hesitantly. "Well... wouldn't it be too much trouble?" Kelly was about to say something, but Anna beat her to it. "Of course not! What's so troublesabout it? It's fine as long as you're okay with it." "Alright, then." Teresa figured she wouldn't be able to do anything about her and Eric's argument if she were to head hat this hour. She agreed to cook for Anna.
Soon, night fell. The sky had already turned dark after the meal with Henry. He'd had a few drinks, so.Alex had taken him home. Vincent had also had a few drinks, so it was up to Tiffany to drive him.
She drove while he rode in the passenger seat. His eyes were half-shut as he rested.
The night breeze blew in through the open window, bringing with it a cooling sensation. After a few seconds, it started raining.
The rain chard and fast. It was as if someone had splashed buckets of water into the car-it only took several seconds for Tiffany's arm to get wet.
She hastily tried to shut the window but accidentally made the dashboard light up because she wasn't familiar with the car's buttons.
"Press the green one," Vincent suddenly said. Tiffany turned to see him leaning close to her.

After a moment, white smoke started seeping out from underneath the hood Tiffany held the wheel tightly, still looking shell-shocked. On the other hand, Vincent was calm. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "See whether you can still start the car." She was so stunned that it took her a few seconds to process his words. When she returned to her senses, she tried and failed to start the car.
The rain was getting heavier. The raindrops pattered against the roof of the car. Vincent took his suit jacket off. "I'll go check on things."
Before Tiffany could say anything, he got out of the car and circled to the front to check the situation. It was dark outside, and the car's headlights had gone out from the crash. Tiffany was worried about him, so
she got out after turning on her phone's flashlight. Then, she walked over to Vincent and stood behind him. She illuminated the car's hood with her phone. He was taken aback. "What are you doing here?" She didn't respond to that. Instead, she asked, "How is it?"
"It's stuck. We're gonna have to get a tow truck." He straightened up. "Let's wait in the car.
