If they hadn’t been at a couple’s restaurant, sitting on the same side of the table, and if Damon hadn’t been serving her food, N might have convinced herself that the woman was merely a business partner of Prospectus Technology.
She p
put down her phone and lowered her head, her expression somber.
The moment she saw the photo, she had the urge to call Damon and confront him, but she managed to
calm herself at thest moment.
N was merely using Damon. Even if he was involved with another woman, what right did she have to question him?
After all, she hadn’t <b>nned </b>on being with him forever, <b>had </b>she?
Her phone buzzed again, with Vrie sending several more messages.
Vrie: [I looked into it. The woman’s name <b>is </b>Reba Austen, Damon’s first love. After receiving a full schrship, she went abroad, and they lost touch.]
Vrie: [Not many people knew about their rtionship back then. After she went abroad, no one dared to mention her in front of Damon. If I hadn’t investigated, I wouldn’t have known he had <b>a </b>past rtionship.]
Vrie: [N, if Damon really did something wrong to you, what are you going to do?]
As N read Vrie’s messages, her face grew paler. Even after all these years, Damon had set a special ringtone for Reba, indicating that she was still important to him.
N closed her eyes, trying to push away the troubling thoughts. It was <b>a </b>relief she hadn’t fallen for Damon. Otherwise, this would be even more painful.
She stood up and headed back to her room.
The maid hurried over. “Ms. Jayston, <b>since </b>Mr. Sumner hasn’t returned yet, would you like to have a bite
to eat first?”
“No, just clear away the food. He won’t be <bing </b>back tonight,” N replied.
The maid was momentarily stunned. By the time she reacted, N had <b>already </b>started up the stairs.
Back in her bedroom, Ny on her bed, contemting her next move. If Damon nned to rekindle his rtionship with Reba, he would likely <b>end </b><b>things </b>with her first.
While she was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang
Upon seeing Damon’s <b>name</b>, her expression dimmed. It took her a moment to answer.
“N, I’m sorry, I haven’t finished dealing with things yet. I won’t be able toe back anytime soon,” Damon said.
“Okay,” N replied curtly.
Noticing the chill in her tone, Damon hesitated <b>and </b>asked, “Did something happen?”
N wanted to retort that he should know better than she did what was happening, but she held her
tongue.
“It’s nothing. I’m just a bit tired. Carry on with your work. I need to rest,” she said.
Without giving Damon a chance to respond<b>, </b>she ended the call.
Damon’s expression darkened as he heard the busy tone. His grip on the phone tightened as he stood at the restaurant entrance.
When Reba emerged from the restroom, she noticed Damon staring at his phone with a sullen look. She frowned.
Since he hade to see her the night before, she had felt he was distracted. Even when he spoke to her, he seemed absent–minded.
Upon recalling what rk had said before she returned, a cold resolve shed in her eyes. Damon was hers alone, and she wouldn’t let anyone take him away!
She approached him and asked sweetly, “Damon, what are you looking at?”
Damon put away his phone and looked at her with a neutral expression. “Nothing. I’ll take you back.”
On the way back, Reba made several attempts to start a conversation, hoping to bridge the gap between them.
However, Damon’s attitude remained distant,cking the warmth and consideration he had previously <b>shown</b>.
When they reached her hotel, she turned to him and asked, “Do you want toe up and hang out for a while?” Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
