Chapter 133 

“I know Brendan came to find you. But Chloe’s brother got hit by a car last night. I thought Brendan might return to Ashburgh, so I came over,” Ronald explained. 

Naomi paused at this before a sarcastic smile spread across her face. She had wondered why Brendan disappeared right after she came out of the shower. And now she knew why. 

Seeing her reaction, Ronald quickly reassured her, “Don’t overthink it, Naomi. Maybe my guess was wrong. 

Actually, he had indeed received news that Brendan left the hotel. He was worried that Naomi might overthink, so he came over. 

Naomi chuckled. “This isn’t the first time. I’m used to it.” 

Ronald shook his head. “Naomi, there’s something I need to confess. But you have to promise not to get 

mad and hit me.” 

Naomi narrowed her gaze. “Go on.” 

*Promise me,” Ronald insisted. But one glare from Naomi and he immediately confessed. 

“When I went to visit you that morning, I heard your call with Maximus and told Brendan about it. I think that was why he came over. Naomi, I promise I didn’t do it on purpose. I just couldn’t keep my mouth shut. 

Seeing Ronald’s worried expression, Naomi waved him off dismissively. “It’s fine. I’ll let it slide since you came all the way to accompany me and even brought breakfast.” 

But deep down, Naomi knew Brendan would have suspected her and come anyway, even if Ronald didn’t tattle on her. Between the two of them, Naomi wasn’t sure who was the restless one now. 

At around 11:00 am, after Naomi was done at the hospital, Ronald drove her to a nearby restaurant for brunch. He let her rest in the car before driving her to the school where Charles had studied for two years 

to gather more information. 

It was 9:00 pm when the two finally returned to the small hotel. 

Afraid that Naomi would feel unwell again, Ronald insisted on not getting another room, wanting to stay in her room instead. Naomi had no choice but to agree. So, he slept on the small, shabby couch. 

Naomi woke up twice in the middle of the night. When she saw Ronald curled up on the couch, she 

couldn’t stop the smile playing on her lips. 

She didn’t have many close friends, but having Bailey and Ronald was enough. 

The next two days went by similarly. Ronald took Naomi to get her shot in the morning before driving her 

around to gather information in the afternoon. 

With Ronald by her side, Naomi indeed felt much more relaxed. At least she didn’t have to wait for 

transportation or worry about meals, 

2/2 

On Friday, after Naomi finished her work, Ronald drove her back to Ashburgh. The journey was quite long, so Naomi suggested they take turns driving so he could rest. 

But Ronald refused, Insisting it was fine since Naomi was sick. So he ended up driving the entire five–hour journey while Naomi sat in the passenger seat. 

At around 9.00 pm, when Naomi woke up from a nap, she realized they had already arrived in Ashburgh, and the car was heading toward Yellowind Bay. She yawned. 

“Take me to South Lake.” 

These past few days, she did not bring up her argument with Brendan to Ronald. But that didn’t mean she had forgotten about it. 

More often than not, the more silent Naomi was about something, the more disappointed she felt. Not to mention, she only lost the argument with Brendan because she wasn’t feeling well that night. 

Hearing this, Ronald didn’t question it and simply obeyed. “Sure, whatever you want.” 

20 minutes later, the two arrived at the flat in Ashburgh. Bailey was already there and even made some soup for Naomi. She even prepared some fruits and takeout.
