Chapter 177
Since he had already made up his mind, what else could she say to persuade him otherwise? Moreover, he would not listen to her even if she repeated herself.
Just like the night before, Scott carried her to the bathroom and waited for her until she finished washing up before carrying her to the bed and tucking her in. Then, he took his clothes and headed to the bathroom.
Naomi listened to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. She shut her eyes.
This was the first time she regretted the choice she made, but regretting it was pointless. She only hoped that the following days would pass smoothly and she would no longer need to be in touch with him again. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Scott came out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel. He looked at Naomi in bed.
She was facing the window wall, under the covers. Her eyes were closed. Her long hair spread across the pillow.
She seemed to be asleep as she was not moving at all.
He looked at her closed eyes before looking at her face. Then, he threw the towel on the side of the couch before lying on the couch and covering himself with the blanket.
It was quiet all around. The sensor-activated lights had been switched off, but there were still lights from outside, so it was not fully dark.
Scott shut his eyes with his arm behind his head, not making any sounds.
Soon, it was late in the middle of the night, and the entire city had gone to bed. He opened his eyes and looked at Naomi in bed.
Naomi had already fallen asleep. She rarely had times when she could not fall asleep. Although the incidents the past two days were beyond her expectations, she came to terms with them.
She knew how to regulate her emotions. She knew how to care for herself.
Suddenly, Scott's phone vibrated. He furrowed his brow and immediately hang up the call.
The moment he hung up, he looked at Naomi in bed. From the lights outside, he could vaguely see her frowning, but her eyes were still closed.
After it was silent again, she relaxed again and went into deep slumber again.
When he saw that, he was finally relieved. He took his phone and put it on silent.
He looked at the missed call and found it was from Dylan.
He looked at the time. It was already eleven at night.
Dylan might seem like an unreliable person, but he was not completely. He understood boundaries. He would never call him at such a time.
Scott looked at Naomi in bed once more. After ensuring Naomi was sound asleep, he gently lifted the blanket and treaded lightly out the door.
He did not close the door fully. Once he was out, he dialed Dylan.
"Tsk, tsk. Are you doing the deed?" Dylan asked teasingly.
Scott asked, "What deed?"
Hearing his deep voice and how he sounded like he was in a bad mood, Dylan raised an eyebrow. Was he really doing the deed with her? Or was he just about to do it when he called?
Dylan thought that it must be so since he sounded curt.
Dylan sighed helplessly. "I didn't really want to call you at this hour, but I had no choice. Someone looked for me out of the blue. As your good brother, I feel I need to tell you this."
Scott's gaze darkened. "Olivia."
Dylan raised an eyebrow. "What? How did you know? Can you predict the future? Wait! Hold on! Let me piece things together. You're divorced already, so Olivia… "
"Has she come to Herland?"
