Chapter <b>322 </b>


    Damon’s gaze hardened. “N, I know I have no right to ask anything of you right now. In three months, I’ll tell you everything.”


    “There’s no need. I’m not interested. I just hope you’ll stop looking for me,” N said, then walked past him and left.


    In the following days, Damon did note looking for N again, but gossip about him and Reba spread like wildfire throughout thepany. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    At first, Melody would get upset, but seeing that N genuinely didn’t care, she stopped bringing it up in front of her.


    N’s life gradually returned to normal. Besides going to work, she spent her time having real estate agents show her apartments. Staying in a hotel long–term wasn’t convenient.


    After work on Friday, N was about to leave when Gabriel stopped her.


    “N, have you been looking for a ce recently?” he asked.


    It wasn’t surprising that Gabriel knew. N often browsed through listings from real estate agents during lunch breaks and used apps to search for ces on her phone.


    “Yeah, what about it?” she asked.


    “I’ve been looking for a ce too. Why don’t we look together? If we live close by, we can look out for each other,” Gabriel suggested.


    N frowned, about to refuse, but Gabriel continued. “I visited your dadst night. He and my mom don’t want to move abroad. They’d rather stay here where we can look after them. Moving to a foreign country where they don’t know anyone would be too. inconvenient.


    “My mom’s lease is almost up, so I’m nning to rent a bigger ce and have her move in with me. Then, when your dad is feeling better, he coulde and stay with us for a while too.


    “But if you don’t want to live too close, we can find separate ces. Don’t worry about your dad–I’ll take care of him.”


    N pressed her lips together. “Okay, let’s look together then.”


    Gabriel smiled. “Alright.”


    He knew well that N wouldn’t have agreed to look for a ce together if he hadn’t mentioned thest part.


    Over the next two days, they continued viewing apartments..


    By Sunday afternoon, they finally settled on a more upscaleplex near Prospectus Technology. They rented apartments in the same building, though not on the same floor.


    After signing the lease, Gabriel suggested they grab dinner together, and they chose. a nearby restaurant.


    Midway through their meal, they ran into rk, who had just finished a business meeting with a client.


    When rk saw N, his eyes glinted with a cold edge. After bidding farewell to his client with a smile, <b>he </b>turned and approached their table.


    “N, I heard Uncle Damon dumped you?” he asked.


    Annoyance shed in N’s eyes. She said nothing, clearly uninterested in engaging with him.


    rk’s smile faltered, his hands clenching at his sides. How dare she ignore him, especially after Damon had discarded her?!


    Taking a deep breath, rk looked at N and spoke slowly. “N, I didn’t expect. you to be so stubborn. Are you still mad at me?<b>” </b>


    N hadn’t wanted to engage with him, but having a pesky fly buzzing around while she ate was irritating.


    She looked at rk and said, “Could you do me a favor and buzz off? You’re ruining my appetite.”


    rk’s face darkened instantly.


    After a few moments, he sneer Fine. I came over to offerfort, but it seems


    you don’t appreciate the gesture.”


    you can do is stay away from me. That
