Chapter 399.
But it was peak rush hour. After she ordered a ride, the app showed over 200 people ahead of her.
Plus, it was the first day of school, so there were tons of parents dropping off their kids, making traffic super jammed up around there.
Seeing that, Ashley stopped walking.
Chase noticed she wasn’t keeping up, so he turned back.”What’s up?”
Ashley:…Nothing.”
In the end, Ashley got into Chase’s car anyway.
Once she was in, he turned his head, seemingly about to talk to her, but before he could, a call came in.
Chase said, “Sorry, I need to take this.”
Ashley: “Whatever.”
The call seemed to be from overseas; Chase spoke in a foreign language the whole time.

From their conversation, it sounded like Chase had a trip to LA planned for the next couple of days. But he told them he had an important matter to attend to first and would go two days later.
He talked on the phone for quite a while.
It wasn’t until the car was almost at Eternal that he finally hung up.
Chase was about to say something, but Ashley, seeing they were close to the company, suddenly cut in,”Just pull over up ahead. I can walk the rest of the way.”
Chase got it. He glanced at her, said nothing, and told the driver to pull over as Ashley requested.
The car stopped about two or three hundred yards from Eternal.
Ashley got out. Before closing the door, she politely told Chase, “Thanks.”
Chase just gave a slight smile.”No problem.”
Ashley eyed his smile, said nothing more, and turned to walk away.
Meanwhile.
Not long after Chase and Ashley got in the car and left the school, Sam’s smartwatch rang.
It was Tanya calling.
Sam was super happy today. Seeing her call, he sweetly chirped,”Auntie Tanya!”
“It’s me.” On the other end, Tanya asked with concern,”Did Sam make it to school?”
“Yeah, yeah, we’re here!”
Tanya also picked up on Sam’s joyful mood.”First day of school got you this excited, huh, Sam?”
After that, Tanya paused for half a second before getting to the real reason for her call.”Oh, by the way, Sam, did your dad drop you off at school with your mom today?”
“He did!”
“Oh, really?” Tanya’s smile instantly faded a bit.”Auntie thought since your mom was taking you, your dad wouldn’t need to go too.”
“I didn’t even want Dad to take me, but last night after dinner, when I was about to pack up and go to my great-grandma’s house, Dad suddenly told me he wanted to personally drop me off at school on the first day. So Dad made me stay home last night, and this morning he was going to come with me to my great-grandma’s house to pick up Mom.”
“Oh, so that’s what happened.”
“So, your mom rode with your dad to school today?”
Yeah!”
