章節 568: Foot Rub

After dinner, Lucy decided to go home with Tom rather than join the rest of the family as she had done when coming.

Once they got into the car, the tension that had hung between them all day took over the car, and neither of them said a word to each other as Tom drove behind his family.

Lucy said nothing as she tried to compose her thoughts and put her words together so that she wouldn't make any more mistakes, while Tom simply kept mute because he just didn't want to speak.

"I'm sorry," Lucy said after some time.

"It's okay," Tom said simply without taking his attention away from the road.

"I know you're still mad at me. I overreacted. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. And I shouldn't have behaved that way at the company either," Lucy added, but once again Tom did not look at her.

"It's alright," he said dismissively as he kept his attention fixed on the road.
