Chapter 299
Wendy stood outside the elevator, watching as the doors closed and Charles disappeared from her sight.
She stood there alone. She could not help but smile foolishly, feeling ecstatic.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The girl must have heard about Charles's grandmother being ill, so she came to check on him. Although Charles claimed to be pursuing the girl, the truth was that the girl also liked him. Otherwise, why would she come so late at night?
At that moment, the smile on Wendy's face grew even wider. She quickly grabbed her phone and called Aunt Lilly, instructing her to tidy up the guest room. Charles had finally found a girl he liked, and they could not be careless.
A plane from Herland landed at 2:50 a.m. at San Angelino Airport. Everyone in the cabin woke up, including Naomi. Despite not having a very restful sleep, it was still better than none at all. She rubbed her eyes, neatly folded the blanket for the flight attendant, unfastened her seatbelt, took her bag, and turned on her phone.
After checking the time, she found it was almost three o'clock. The sky was still pitch-black, like thick ink that would not disperse.
Naomi followed everyone off the plane, then picked up her phone to call Sean.
However, at that moment, a message came in. Naomi paused, seeing that it was from Charles.
Naomi blinked, slightly puzzled. 'Wasn't it too late for him to be sending a message now?'
Although she did not expect Charles to message her at this hour, Naomi still opened it.
[Charles: Naomi, I'll probably be at the airport in about ten minutes. Wait for me at the airport entrance as soon as you get off the plane.]
Naomi came to a halt as she stared at the message, an unusual sense of bewilderment taking hold. Charles mentioned he would be at the airport in ten minutes.
Did Charles know she was in San Angelino? Moreover, was Charles in San Angelino at the moment?
Naomi stood there, pondering for a moment, before calling Charles.
Meanwhile, a taxi traversed the night.
Charles sat in the car, occasionally glancing at the buildings ahead and checking his phone. He was on his way to the airport and would arrive shortly, However, glancing at the time, he estimated that Naomi should have already arrived, so he sent her a message.
Buzz.
The phone vibrated in his palm, making Charles's heart tighten slightly before he picked it up.
Naomi.
Her name flickered on the screen, and Charles smiled briefly as he answered the call, "Hey, Naomi."
Naomi was making her way toward
the airport hall. Charles sounded clear and gentle. His voice did I not carry any trace of drowsiness, as if it was daytime.
He was truly on his way to pick her up.
Naomi said, "Charles, are you in San Angelino?"
"Yes. Sean told me that Amelia is in San Angelino, and since you're here too, I'm coming to pick you up."
After seeing the message from Charles just now, Naomi had a rough idea, She had not told him about Amélia being in San Angelino, nor had she informed him of her
arrival. Therefore, it must have been Sean who spilled the beans.
However, she did not expect that Charles's destination would also be San Angelino. It was quite a coincidence.
Regret filled Naomi's eyes as she said, "Charles, I'm sorry to trouble you so late."
