"Sister Mia didn't tell me anything. After you left, she said she wanted some quiet time and asked me to go ahead, so I left."
Annie Hunt answered truthfully.
"Didn't I ask you to keep her company?"
"But Sister Mia told me to leave!" Annie Hunt replied with an innocent look.
The red light turned green.
Ann Chapman stuffed a cigarette into her mouth, took hold of the steering wheel with both hands, and started the car.
After passing the intersection, she pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Get out."
"?" Annie Hunt looked confused, "Uncle, we haven't reached my house yet."
Ann Chapman didn't look at her and repeated, "Take a taxi home by yourself."
Annie Hunt keenly sensed that her usually gentle uncle was angry with her, "Uncle, are you... are you angry?"
She couldn't think of anything she'd done to make him angry.
Ann Chapman spoke while extinguishing the cigarette butt against the car door: "Your uncle has other things to do, you should go back on your own."
