Yvonne stared at his hesitant look and frowned. She thought, "Wasn’t he quite arrogant just now?"

She looked at the two traffic policemen and asked, "May I ask... "

"He ran the red light, but he refused to admit his fault. Are you his girlfriend?"

Yvonne was about to say "no", but the traffic police did not give her a chance.

"Pay the fine and sign here. In addition, take him to do volunteer work for a week. Then this matter is over, and hope it won’t happen again."

As the traffic policeman spoke, he handed over the statement.

Yvonne hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it. She felt embarrassed, her cheeks burning.

After leaving the traffic police office, Yvonne did not say a word. She walked in front alone, completely ignoring James who followed her.

"Yvonne, wait for me!"

James trotted after her. Seeing that she was ignoring him, he blocked her way.

Although Yvonne stopped, she still ignored him and turned her face to the side, not even bothering to look at him.

"What’s wrong? Are you angry?" When James saw her serious face, he asked in hindsight.

Yvonne was speechless. <I am not angry. You are not my boyfriend. I just feel ashamed. When I paid the fine just now, everyone inside looked at me as if I was a monster. I have never been so embarrassed in my life.>

"I paid the fine for you, and now you are free. My task is completed, so don’t follow me."

After that, she walked past him.

James continued to follow her.

"My car has been deducted and my license has been revoked. My phone has not been charged and I am penniless. Where do you want me to go?"

"Go to the place where you should go."

"No, Christopher asked you to pick me up, so you must be responsible for me."

He strode forward and blocked her way.

Yvonne was speechless.

If Christopher had told her earlier that she was here to redeem this guy, she would

not have come here at all.

"If so, then follow me."

She walked to the road and stopped a taxi. She got in, only to see James just standing there and not intending to get in the car. She frowned. "Are you going to get in or not? If not, then I am leaving."

"I’m in." Only then did James quickly open the door and get in.

Neither of them spoke along the way.

James sat there and kept glancing at her face.

Yvonne ignored him, pretending not to see him.

Finally, James couldn’t help asking, "I heard that you came here with Chris’s wife to experience life. How do you feel?"

"Not bad." Yvonne said with an expressionless face.

James said, "I knew it. In such a remote place, how could you have the mood to enjoy? Only Chris’s wife likes to make trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yvonne rolled her eyes at him.

"What are you talking about? If you speak ill of Janice again, get out of the car."

Seeing that she was angry, James hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I won’t say it."

He coughed awkwardly and shut his mouth.

Not long after, the car stopped at the hotel.

"Janice and her husband are in the hotel. You can go in." Yvonne said.

Just as James was about to open the car door, he saw that she did not move at all. He asked in confusion, "Why don’t you go with me?"

Yvonne replied, "I still have something to do."

James thought for a moment and said, "No, you have to accompany me to meet them. What if they are not here?"

...

Yvonne was speechless.

"You’re a man, but you don’t even have this ability to deal with it?"

"I don’t care. Anyway, I’m penniless now, and I’m in an unfamiliar place. You have to be responsible for me."

James sat still, looking as if he would not get out of the car until she agreed.

Yvonne didn’t know what to say.

In the end, she could only follow him in.

However, when they entered the room, both Janice and Christopher were not there. She had sent Janice a message before, and Janice had said that she was in the hotel. "Look, I told you. That’s why I need you to accompany me."

James shrugged. As soon as he finished speaking, Yvonne gave him a cold look.

He instantly fell silent.

Yvonne was extremely depressed. She picked up the phone and walked to the side to call Janice.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Janice had already been put on the car to Tomaville by Christopher.

She sat in the car and received a call from Yvonne. She felt a little guilty.

<After all, it was me who asked Yvonne to come there with me. But now I leave first.>

Janice hesitated for a moment and then answered the call.

"Hey, Yvonne."

"Janice, where have you been? Didn’t you say you were in the hotel?" Janice felt very embarrassed.

"I’m sorry. I’m on my way back to Tomaville."

"Huh?" Yvonne was surprised. "Why aren’t you waiting for me? What should I do?"

Janice glanced at Christopher sitting in the driver’s seat and whispered, "I’m sorry. I have no choice. Why don’t you come back with Lucy and the others?"

Yvonne thought to herself, "I’m not familiar with Lucy."

She frowned and answered, "Forget it. I will think of a way myself." After that, she hung up the phone and turned to meet James’s eyes.

He looked away guiltily in a hurry.

Yvonne knew that he had been eavesdropping on her phone just now, and she was a little speechless.

"They go back. You can stay here alone." As she spoke, she walked past him and into the bedroom.

James followed her. When he saw her taking her luggage, he hurried forward and said, "Where are you going?"

"It’s none of your business."

Yvonne walked out of the bedroom with her luggage.

James hurried to catch up with her.

When Yvonne saw that he was following her, she frowned and asked, "Why are you following me?"

James said, "You promised to be responsible to me." The corners of Yvonne’s mouth twitched. "Why should I be responsible to you?"

James was awkward, but he still argued, "You... Didn’t you sign the responsibility certificate in the traffic police office? You promised to take me to do voluntary activity. Have you forgotten?"

"I did that to redeem you."

"I don’t care. Anyway, you are the one who signed the statement. If you dare to leave, I won’t do the work. Then the police will contact you."

"How dare you!" Yvonne said angrily.

James seemed not care at all.

Yvonne gritted her teeth in hatred and thought of the responsibility document she had signed.

She said, "Okay, I’ll stay here and wait for you to finish your work."

She returned to her bedroom angrily and slammed the door shut.

Although James was shut out, he wiped his nose and smiled.

On the other side, when Janice thought of the fact that she had left Yvonne alone, her heart was filled with guilt.

Seeing her troubled expression, Christopher asked, "What’s wrong?"

...

Janice snapped, "It’s all because of you. You insisted on pulling me away and leaving Yvonne there alone."

Hearing Janice’s complaint, Christopher chuckled.

"She’s not alone."

Janice, however, was confused. "Is there anyone else?"

"James."

Janice was amazed. "James? He’s here too?"

Christopher nodded.

Janice seemed to think of something at that moment. "So you sent her to the traffic police brigade just to meet James?"

Christopher nodded.

A lightbulb suddenly lit up in Janice’s head.

"You’re not trying to set them up, are you?" she asked.

Christopher said, "Am I that kind of nosy person?"

After thinking about it, Janice thought it would it be very out of character for him to do something like that.

"James requested it himself," Christopher explained.

Janice blanked for a moment as if realization had dawned on her.

"Is he harboring evil intentions towards Yvonne? No, I have to call Yvonne and tell her about it."

As she spoke, she was about to make a call.

Christopher reached out to stop her. "Given your friend’s personality, what do you think James can do to her?"

Hearing Christopher’s words, Janice felt that it was true. Yvonne had always been a strong and opinionated woman, so James would not be able to take advantage of her.

Thinking of this, she felt more assured.

"But I still have to remind you not to get involved in such things in the future. James is not a good match for Yvonne."

Christopher frowned, but he didn’t say anything. He thought to himself, "Only they know if they’re a good match."

Just like back then, he felt that it was impossible for him to fall for Janice.

But in the end, he went back on his own words.

As he drove the car, he freed up a hand to hold her hand. "I’ll listen to you. And I won’t interfere."

When Janice heard him say this, she did not continue. As their fingers intertwined, her heart was filled with happiness.

At the same time, in the hotel.

Yvonne walked out of the elevator and went straight to the front desk of the hotel.

James followed her behind.

"I’d like to book a room."

Yvonne handed over her ID card.

The receptionist took the ID card and returned it quickly.

"Sorry, your ID card has been registered for a room already. You can’t book another room."

Yvonne was speechless. She thought, "What kind of stupid rule is this?"

She turned to look at James behind her. "Where’s your ID card?"

James shrugged his shoulders as he said. "I don’t have it with me."

Yvonne was exasperated.

She thought to herself, " Did he do it on purpose? How could he not bring his ID card when he goes out? "

"Then go to sleep on the streets tonight."

As she spoke, she took her ID card and turned to walk towards the elevator.

"Don’t do that!"

James followed behind Yvonne. "I only know you here. What should I do if you leave me alone?"

Hearing that, Yvonne became furious. She stopped walking and looked at him.

"First, I have no obligation to take you in. Second, your mobile phone is fully charged and can be turned on. Plus, last I checked, you’re gainfully employed. If you’re so rich, you can surely afford somewhere nice to stay."

After saying that, Yvonne turned around and was about to leave. James reached out and grabbed her arm. "But I just want to stay with you."

Yvonne was stunned, and her face flushed instantly. It took her a while to squeeze out a few words.

"You... Are you crazy?"

James said seriously, "I’m sick. I drove too fast. And my head hurts." As he spoke, he leaned against Yvonne as if he had no bones at all.

Yvonne was shocked. She quickly pushed him away, but she couldn’t. She was a little annoyed.

"James, are you done now?"
