Chapter 169
Naomi initially thought she had gotten through to him and that he understood her. She was relieved when her wheelchair was once again moving forward.
She thought that he had understood what she said. She never thought that he would say such a thing.
She was stunned. She immediately turned to look at him with her mouth gaping open. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.
How could he say such a thing? NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
She looked at his face, the one she had seen for the past three years. He had gotten more and more mature, yet also more mysterious. After all, she had shared the same bed with him for the past three years. She understood him well enough.
The Scott she knew and understood would never have said such a thing.
As he pushed her forward, he looked ahead as if he was walking like usual, but from Naomi's angle, she saw a different person.
His angular jawline and high cheekbones were accentuated by his darkened gaze, a shade that she had never seen before.
She did not know when his aloof and distant self was gone. She was very close to him. She could read his mind and thoughts easily.
Naomi's chest subconsciously tightened. Her heart was beating wildly, just like the night before. She had no idea what was happening to her.
She turned her head back and lowered her gaze. She furrowed her brows and pursed her lips.
Many images flooded her mind, accompanied by many thoughts.
Did he think that she had an affair during their marriage?
She did not know how he knew about Charles, but he brought it up. It was clear what was on his mind.
In his mind, he was always at work and rarely returned home. He did not know what his wife was doing at home.
He had never once suspected her because he trusted her grandfather. He trusted the Goodwin family, so he had never given it much thought.
However, barely two months after their divorce, another man appeared in her life. From his point of view, what else could it be other than her having an affair during their marriage?
Naomi pursed her lips tight, looking stern. No wonder he had such a huge change of character. He was almost like a completely different person.
Even if they had no feelings for each other and had fallen for another girl, no man would be able to accept their wives having an affair, including Scott.
That was why, even if they were divorced, he no longer respected her as usual.
Naomi's gaze darkened. She should explain to him that she had never done such a thing, but they were already divorced. They were each leading their own lives. If it were not for work, they would not have been in contact with each other at all.
Explaining or not was no longer important. It was in the past. Even if she explained it, that would not change anything.
Naomi raised her head and looked ahead once more. The expression on her face faded to normal.
How he thought of her and whether he trusted her had nothing to do with her anymore as long as she had a clear conscience.
They returned to silence in the bustling city.
Soon after, Scott hailed a taxi. He put her in the car before putting the wheelchair in the trunk and getting in the car.
Naomi thought that they were returning to the hotel.
Since she had already said her piece, he no longer needed to care for her.
She took out her phone and looked at the time. It was already six-something in the evening. The sky was getting darker.
She had a late lunch, so she was not feeling hungry at all. Once they returned to the hotel, she could get the caretaker to take her out for dinner.
