บท 1790: Shelly Starts to Care About Nox

"Okay." Nox replied, "I didn't say anything, so you don't have to explain yourself."

Shelly pursed her lips.

Nox said, "Didn't you say Bella needs an afternoon nap? Why don't you go take a nap with her? I have something to do."

"What is it?" Shelly blurted out.

"Do you want to know?" Nox asked.

He may look cold, but deep down, he was very nervous. 

Stunned, Shelly said, "No, you can go ahead with your work. I'll take a nap with Bella."

It turned out to be all wishful thinking. Shelly was just asking him casually and did not really care what he was up to. As long as he got a little closer to her, she would distance herself further away. 

After he walked out of the house and entered the elevator, his phone rang. Nox took a look at it and picked up the call. 

"Hello."

"Mr. Winter, it's me, Benjamin."

Nox's eyes narrowed. "What's the matter?"

"I'm downstairs, and I'd like to see you."
