NovelOnlineDeco Well, rich people lived a different kind of lifestyle.
To be honest, | was exhausted, and | did not say much during the journey. Charlie was not much of a talker either. Like Idris, he could maintain silence for entire trips.
When we arrived at the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Just as | parked the car, | suddenly noticed Idris standing at the entrance, looking frosty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis face was shrouded in darkness, making it hard to read his expression, but | could sense he was not in a good mood.
As | quickly got out of the car, | immediately sensed that Idris was fuming. | needed to explain why we were returning so late. | walked up to him, looking at his restrained demeanor, and said, "Idris, I..." "Are you okay?" He interrupted me, lookingup and down. Once he confirmed that | was fine, he continued, "Let's go back and rest." With that, he pulledinto the hotel.
| turned to see Charlie, who had also gotten out of the car. He stood outside, his expression devoid of emotion.
Inch was waiting there too. | was not too worried about them and waved my hand awkwardly to signal that everything was fine.
Back in the room, Idris did not ask where | had been that night. His voice was heavy as he said, "Get srest.
If you need anything, call me." As he was about to leave, | grabbed his arm and said, "After | was finished chatting to Sweety, she left without having dinner with me. | happened to run into Charlie, so | invited him to join me. | had ordered a lot of food and didn't want it to go to waste. Originally, | was planning to cback after dinner, but on our way back, we found a severely injured pregnant cat. | wanted to save her, so | and Charlie took her to the city to find a pet hospital.
After the cat had surgery and was safe, we returned. That's why it took so long." I explained everything in one breath and looked up at him, unsure if he would still be angry.
He stared atfor a long twithout saying a word, but his expression had softened. Eventually, he raised his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear and said, "Are you explaining yourself toright now?" | was rendered speechless. Was it not obvious? Seeing the smile playing on his lips, | felt a bit embarrassed. We were ex-spouses. Sure, | had returned with a man in the middle of the night, but there was no need forto explain myself to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that in mind, | took a step back and looked at him, saying, "You should go back. Thank you for worrying about my safety. I'm fine now." Seeing my reaction, he maintained his smile and said, "Too many things happened today. Keep your phone on all the time, Yvette. | can't guarantee that those who cafterwon't harm you." Thinking about today's events, | asked, "How is the investigation going?" His eyes darkened slightly as he replied, "A staff member at the forest has been identified as the person who tampered with the cable car. He insisted that it was an accident. He's been taken away by the police for now.
The person who jumped from the cable car died, and their family is causing a commotion. As for the bungee jumping incident, we still don't know the details of the rope breaking. They're also still trying to contact the deceased's family." At just one tourist attraction, there were two deaths in a single day while people should have been enjoying themselves. | knew he was probably overwhelmed right now. After this incident, the forest would be temporarily closed for investigation and would likely suffer a huge impact.
| could not be of much help, so I looked up at him and asked, "Now that you've found the person responsible, the consequences are inevitable. What are you planning to do with Grandma?" Grandma and the others had been through a lot today, and it was not a good idea for them to stay here any longer.
He pressed his lips together and replied, "I've arranged for someone to send them back to Lake City tomorrow.
As for you..." "I'll stay behind," | interrupted. Looking at him, | continued, "With Maxwell at Scott Corporation, | don't have anything to worry about." Meeting his gentle gaze, | stuttered and said, "T-this is a rare trip for me, and it's my first tin Tully City. There are many places | haven't had a chance to visit yet. | want to explore more. Besides, the little pregnant cat | rescued is still in the hospital. When she's discharged, | need to find a suitable place for her. So... I'm in no hurry to go back." He smiled as his dark eyes were fixed on me. And in a low, husky voice, he said, "Alright, | understand."
