novelxo Chapter 195
Her tone was filled with worry.
Scott finally turned to look at her. "I don't know," he replied curtly.
Naomi's jaw dropped.
He did not know?
What was the phone call about?
Naomi did not know how to react to this. Scott did not utter another word outside of that sentence, so clearly it was Dylan who spent most of the time talking, and yet he claimed he did not know what happened to Belle?
Naomi did not believe him at all, but from the look on his face, she could tell he was not lying.
He did not need to lie to her.
She pursed her lips and considered this for a moment, then finally took out her phone to send Belle a message. She saved Belle's number from the last time they met, and if anything, it was better to ask her directly.
Scott stared at her. She did not question him any further despite not getting the answer she wanted and did not appear at all bothered. Instead, she was calm and collected. It was as though she knew she could take matters into her own hands.
She did not need him at all.
Not since their divorce.
Scott turned around and closed his eyes.
Dylan, on the other hand, was utterly infuriated, and just as he was about to continue spewing his anger, Scott hung up the phone.
Dylan was so stunned by this that he was rendered speechless. He did not even finish!
He called Scott after receiving the news of Olivia from Jonas. Knowing that it was partly his fault that Olivia got into trouble, he wanted to apologize to Scott and, at the same time, reveal Olivia's plans to him. However, he was so overcome by his rage that he forgot entirely about this, but it was too late-Scott already hung up. Was he busy?
Knowing Scott, Dylan decided to send him a message explaining everything Olivia told him last night.
Scott's phone buzzed, but Scott did not move an inch. His eyes were closed and there was not even so much as a twitch.
Naomi, on the other hand, could hear his phone vibrate, but she took no notice of it. She was waiting for Belle to reply to her, but to her surprise, Belle's call came almost instantaneously. When she saw Belle's name on the screen, Naomi could not help feeling relieved. The fact that Belle could call her directly meant that she was fine.
She picked up. "Hi, Belle."
"Hi, Naomi!" Belle's boisterous laughter rang out from the other end of the line. Laughter was contagious, and Naomi could not help smiling at this. "Why are you so happy?" "Hahaha! Let me tell you this, Naomi. Last night-"
With that, Belle proceeded to describe everything that happened the night before to Naomi. Initially, Naomi was smiling, but as Belle went on, her smile turned to a frown instead as worry crept across her face. "Are you alright?"
