Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 221

Wendy turned around and found herself looking into a pair of concerned eyes. It was Finch.

Finch pulled her by the arm back to the safety of the sidewalk before letting go.

"You were lost in thought. There's a lot of traffic on this road. If a driver had zoned out, you walking out like that could've ended badly."

Wendy snapped back to reality, glanced at the red light, then at Finch's face, and smiled sheepishly. "Thank you. It won't happen again."

"You'd better not let it happen again," he chided, though a faint smile played on his lips.

"Mr. Finch, what are you doing here?" Wendy changed the subject.

She'd just pulled a move so clumsy even a preschooler wouldn't have slipped up, and the embarrassment was absolutely crushing.

Finch pointed to a car across the street. "I saw you from a distance and honked a few times, but you didn't hear me. You looked so distraught, so I came over to check on you."

"Oh?" Wendy was surprised; she genuinely hadn't heard a horn.

There were probably too many horns honking, and with so many cars on the street and her mind preoccupied, she hadn't noticed his.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you," Wendy said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's fine. With this much traffic, I wouldn't have heard it either." Finch's eyes crinkled, his handsome features softening. "Come on, I'll give you a ride home."

Wendy was about to refuse, but Finch was already walking toward his parked car, so she had no choice but to follow.

Once they were in the car, Finch tapped on his phone screen. Wendy glanced over and saw it was a ride-sharing app.

She couldn't help but ask, "You have a car, why are you using a ride-sharing app?"

Finch paused for a second before explaining, "Oh, I sometimes drive for a little extra cash. I had just accepted a ride, but then I saw you. I told the customer to cancel the order."

"Oh, I see. In that case, you should take your customer. My place is really close, I can just get a ride myself."
