Between adults, the meaning of such a statement was often implied,


    Damon was indifferent. “It’s toote to go up now. Get some


    e rest.


    Reba was a bit disappointed but forced a smile. “Alright. Be safe going back.”


    When Damon returned to the vi, it was already past 10:00 p.m.


    After changing his shoes and entering the living room, the maid approached him. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Mr. Sumner, Ms. Jayston waited a long time for you to return for dinner. In the end, she went upstairs without eating.” she reported.


    “Okay, I understand. You can go rest,” Damon replied.


    “Alright,” the maid said and left.


    Damon rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to prepare a te of sandwiches, which he took upstairs.


    When N heard the knock on the door, she assumed it was the maid and got up to answer it.


    Seeing the tall, familiar figure at the door, she was momentarily stunned <b>and </b>almost shut the door.


    Damon used his foot to block the door, looking apologetic. “N, I’m sorry I came back sote.”


    N looked at him and saw no sign of guilt on his face, which <b>only </b>made her more disappointed.


    Did men who had wronged their girlfriends or wives always act as if nothing had happened<b>? </b>


    She looked down and replied coldly, “It’s fine. I don’t mind. I need to rest,”


    “I heard you didn’t have dinner tonight, so I made you some sandwiches,” Damon offered.


    “No need, I’m not hungry,” N declined.


    “Even if you’re not hungry, you should eat a little,” Damon insisted.


    N looked up at him, struggling to keep herposure. She couldn’t resist asking, “Can+ask who were talking to on <b>the </b>phonest night?”


    As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Damon’s eyes widen slightly.


    “<b>Why </b>the sudden question?” he asked.


    “I’m just curious,” she replied.


    “A business partner,” he said.

    Seeing him lying with a straight face, N briefly considered showing him the photo Vrie had sent and asking why a business partner would <b>need </b>him to spend an entire day with her at a couples‘ restaurant and even serve her food.


    “Alright, I understand. If there’s nothing else, I need to rest,” she said firmly.


    “Eat something first…” Damon began.


    Before he could finish, N interrupted, “I’m not hungry and can’t eat. I had a long day at work. Can you please leave me alone for a bit?”


    Noting her impatient gaze, Damon fell silent for a moment before finally conceding. “Alright. If you get hungryter, just let me know.”


    “Sure.” N gave a perfunctory nod and closed the door.


    The next morning, while Damon was having breakfast, the maid informed him that N had left for work early.


    He frowned and asked, “When did she leave?”


    “About <b>an </b>hour ago,” the maid replied.


    Damon fell silent, sensing that N was deliberately avoiding him.


    As he pondered this, his phone rang.


    Seeing that it was Reba, he hesitated for a moment before answering.


    “What’s up?” he asked.


    “Damon, I identally fell and now I’m at the hospital. Can you-


    Damon interrupted with a frown, “Which hospital?”


    “Pinnacle Hospital,” Reba replied.


    “I’ll be there right away,” Damon said.


    By the time Damon arrived at the hospital, 30 minutes had passed.


    Reba was sitting in the hospital corridor, looking at Damon with a mixture of grievance and pain. “It hurts so much!” she cried<b>. </b>


    Damon nced at her bandaged knee, his expression remaining indifferent. “I’ll take you home.” Seeing no sign of concern in his eyes, Reba instinctively tightened her grip on his arm. “Okay,” she said and reached out to Damon. “My leg hurts <b>and </b>I can’t walk. Can you help me?”
