Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1699

Not wanting to say a single word to him, Sylvia bypassed him and kept walking forward. Steve turned around and shouted at her stubborn back, "The car is parked back here. There are a lot of people around, so it is going to be hard to hail a cab. If you are done walking around, I will drive you back."

Treating his words like thin air, Sylvia kept walking without looking back. Once she reached the road, she raised her hand to flag down a taxi. But on such a freezing cold day, there were very few cars on the street to begin with, and the occasional one that drove by was already full. She stood in the biting wind for a long time without seeing a single car slow down. Her fingers grew stiff from the cold, leaving her no choice but to pull out her phone and open a ride-hailing app. However, the screen displayed a notification stating that due to high demand, the estimated wait time was one hour. Sylvia bit her lip in deep annoyance.

Right at that moment, the Cullinan coasted over and stopped right in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Steve's face. "Get in. I promise to take you straight home this time."

Sylvia stood rooted to the spot. But the freezing wind kept blowing down her collar, and she had a flight to catch that afternoon. If she kept stalling out here, she would definitely miss it. Weighing her options, she ultimately compromised and reached out to pull the handle of the rear door. She gave it a tug, but it didn't open. She pulled it again, but it wouldn't budge.

Resting one arm on the edge of the window, Steve let a wicked smile pull at the corner of his mouth. "The back door lock is broken. Sit in the front."

There was no way Sylvia believed his nonsense. A multi-million-dollar Cullinan just happened to have a broken back door right at this exact moment? It was obvious he had locked it on purpose. Her irritation grew heavier, making Steve look even more insufferable to her. But right now, she had no other choice. Suppressing the weird feeling in her chest, she walked around to the passenger side, pulled the door open, and got in with a cold face.

The car merged smoothly onto the main road, heading toward the park Sylvia had specified earlier. The heater was running in the cabin, instantly chasing away the chill from her body. But because of the enclosed space, the scent of cedar and tobacco rolling off Steve became far more prominent. They didn't speak the entire way, allowing an agonizing silence to fill the car. Seeing that they were getting close to the park, Steve finally couldn't hold back anymore. He tapped his fingers irritably on the steering wheel twice and turned to look at her. "Are you sure you do not want me to drop you off at your apartment building? It might not be snowing anymore, but it is definitely colder now than it was this morning."

"I do not need it," Sylvia replied stiffly.
