The three of them settled in the back seat, starting to greet Mr. White.
Mr. White was still his usual refined self, speaking slowly and calmly like a schoolteacher from the Republic of China era.
"Settle in, we're off."
"Mm."
Flora Tiarks sat in the passenger seat, connecting her Bluetooth and starting to play music.
Only a few seconds into the song, the music died out.
Flora Tiarks was confused, "Uncle Marcus, what's going on with your car's audio system?"
"Seems like it's broken!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. White continued, "Roll down the window."
Flora was even more perplexed, "Why?"
"The car's air conditioning is broken." Mr. White replied.
"Uncle Marcus, you don't get the A/C repaired? It's so hot nowadays, how can anyone sit in a car without air conditioning?" Flora responded, utterly speechless.
Mr. White remained calm, "It's not an issue, it's not hot anymore in the evening, and natural breeze from an open window is even more refreshing."
