Chapter 665: New Car

Helen’s POV:

The next morning, while I was brushing my teeth, I received a call from the car dealership.

They were asking me to pick up the car that morning.

Of course, I would not dare to drive on my own.

At this moment, I took a stealthy glance at George through the half–open bathroom door and
contemplated whether or not I should ask him for help.

However, I was worried he would make a big deal out of this as I had already bought a car and did not
even mention it to him..

While I was in a deep thought, George called out to me from the living room.

"Helen, are you ready? We should go now."

"I‘m ready."

We took the elevator to the underground garage.George took my hand, led me to his car, and pointed
at the BMW not far away.

"From now on, you can drive this car."

This car cost about 150 thousand dollars.It was about the same price as Anya‘s car.It was flashy to
drive such a car to work.Not wanting to be the object of discussion at the law firm, I refused George‘s
offer at once.

"No, thanks.But I don‘t want it."



"Didn‘t you decide to buy a car yesterday? This car suits you."

George put the car key into my hand as he spoke.I looked at the key and felt a little guilty.

"Uh, well, Lucy and I went to a car dealership yesterday and bought a car.We‘ve already paid the
deposit.I‘m going there today to pick the car up," I confessed.

George‘s face darkened.

"You‘ve already bought it?" he asked in disbelief.

I looked into his deep–set eyes and answered guiltily, "Yes."

George drove me to the car dealership.And when he finally saw that car I had bought, his expression
darkened even more.

"Helen, are you trying to piss me off?"

The saleswoman, who was standing next to the car, hurriedly explained, "Sir, this car has a good
performance.How about I discuss to you its specifications in detail?"

"There‘s no need.We won‘t buy it anyway."

George put his arm around my shoulder and tried to lead me away.His face was so serious that it
scared the saleswoman.But before we could reach the door, the saleswoman walked up to us and
stopped us from leaving.

"Sir, Miss Dewar has paid the deposit.I‘m afraid it can‘t be refunded.Miss Dewar is a lawyer.Don‘t you
think it‘s necessary for her to have her own car? The car she chose is the most bought in our shop, and
she bought it at a bargain.Surely, you wouldn‘t want her to settle for less, would you? She certainly
deserves better than those cheap cars.For such a car doesn‘t match her status at all."



The saleswoman looked at George with disdain.She probably thought that he did not want me to buy
the car because he thought it was too expensive.

Honestly, I was still mad at George for his overbearing attitude.

However, when I heard the saleswoman‘s remark about him, I broke into laughter.I stood beside the
saleswoman and said to George, "I make my own money, and I can buy whatever I want.It‘s none of
your business."

To my surprise, George chuckled and, instead of leaving the shop, sat on the sofa leisurely.

"Fine.Go ahead and buy it if that‘s what you want."

His attitude changed so suddenly that I somehow panicked a little.What was going on here? Was this a
trick?

"Do you really want this car, which you believe matches your status, Mrs.Affleck?" George asked,
intentionally stressing the last few words.

I nodded seriously.

"Yes."

After a long period of silence, George made a concession.He stood up, walked over to the car, and
gazed at it.

"Why do I always end up helpless when it comes to you?"

The saleswoman‘s face lit up with delight.With a beaming smile, she ushered us to the payment
counter.



"This way, please.Please go to our financial department to complete the procedure for the loan.You‘ll
be paying in 36 months installment, right?"

"Yes."

"Pay in full."

Before I could process what George had just said, he took out his card and handed it to the
saleswoman.

For a moment, the saleswoman was stunned.

But once she came to her senses, she took the card from George and praised him.

"Sir, you‘re so kind to your wife! She‘s so lucky to have married you." I grabbed the card and returned it
to George.

"I don‘t need your money.I can handle it myself," I protested in a low voice.

George stared at me with his deep–set eyes.

Obviously, what I had just said upset him yet again.

Just when I thought he was going to leave in a huff, he pointed at the car I had bought and then at
another car in the exhibition hall.

"Buy this or that one.".

I followed the direction where he was pointing at.

When I saw it, my eyes widened in shock.



The car was of the same brand as the one I had bought, but it was the most expensive model.

With my salary, I would not be able to afford it, even if I worked nonstop for ten years.I refused to give
in, so we were at stalemate once again.

But this time, he did not seem to have plans of giving in.

In the end, I had no choice but to nod my head and use his card.

It was only then that he stopped staring at me like a hawk We left the dealership with the car a few
minutes later.

When the saleswoman saw us off, she found that George was driving a Rolls–Royce Cullinan.

The way she looked at him changed again.

Before exiting the dealership, I overheard the saleswoman mutter to herself, "He drives a car worth
millions of dollars but only bought his wife a car worth only 200 thousand? No matter how rich and
handsome a man is, it‘s useless if he‘s stingy.What a shame."

This was probably the first time in George‘s life that he had been called stingy.I took a peek at George
while trying to hold back my laughter.He must be annoyed as he was pulling a long face.

Because the saleswoman was staring at him with disdain, George called the driver and asked him to
drive his car away.

Then, he pulled me into the new car we just bought and prepared to teach me how to drive.

I sat on the driver‘s seat and started the engine confidently.



Although I had barely driven a car again after getting my driver‘s license, I did not think driving was
difficult.I just needed to step on the accelerator and use the steering wheel, did I not? Well, it turned out
that I overestimated my driving skills.I ended up getting scolded by George, who was sitting in the
passenger seat, the whole drive.I could not blame him.

My driving skills were really awful.

The coordination between my hands and feet was as bad as my cooking skills.

In fact, I almost hit the flower bed.

George clenched his jaw, probably in annoyance.

"Don‘t think about flying if you haven‘t learned how to walk.Slow down.You haven‘t done this in years
and you‘d better learn everything from the top all over again.Drive slowly and steadily."

"What are you doing? Didn‘t you see the car lights in front of you? Why didn‘t you step on the brakes?"

"Red light, red light!!"

George‘s loud and angry voice echoed in my ears.He was so loud and annoying that I would get
flustered whenever he spoke.I never expected that this man could be so long–winded.I tried my best
not to snap at him, so I just said, "Shut up!"

His nagging was pissing me off.

When the lights turned green, George‘s nagging continued.

Unable to take it anymore, I slammed on the brakes, turned the engine off, and got out of the car.

"You think you‘re a better driver than me, don‘t you? You drive this by yourself.I don‘t want to drive
anymore!"



George got out as well and sat on the driver‘s seat.

"You haven‘t gotten the hang of this car, and yet you think it‘s wrong for me to guide you? Do you have
any idea how many cars are on the road? Don‘t you know that if you make even a minor mistake, you
could have caused an accident?"

Because of what George had said, I calmed down and regained my reason.

Well, I could not refute his words.I just could not stand his overbearingness.

The awkward silence between us did not last long as George apologized to me on the way back.

He told me that he kept nagging at me simply because he was concerned about my safety.

Although I understood where he was coming from, 1 just pouted and did not say anything. When I
arrived at the law firm, I focused on my work and stopped thinking about George anymore.

At noon, Lucy called me.

"Helen, I‘ve found the person you asked me to look for.Apparently, he‘s the director of the research and
development department of the company in which Dyer had worked before.He‘s an expert in this
field.Should you have any technical problems, you can consult him.I’m sure he can help you."
