Chapter 132
Naomi tossed and turned all night due to stomach pain.
The next morning, she was jolted awake by a loud knocking on the door. Reluctantly leaving her bed, she frowned and wrapped herself in a thin blanket. She then opened the door, only to find Ronald standing
outside.
“Naomi, why did you turn off your phone? You didn’t pick up my calls or answer any of my texts.”
Ronald’s sudden appearance earned a blank stare from Naomi. She sighed, “It might be dead. I forgot to
charge it.”
She hadn’t checked her phone since the argument with Brendan last night. She then weakly gestured for
Ronald to come inside.
Seeing this, Ronald freed one of his hands from the things he was holding and touched her forehead.” Why do you look so pale?”
Naomi pushed his hand away and walked into the room. “I had a stomachache. So, I didn’t sleep well last
night.”
Ronald wasn’t pleased. “You’re having stomach pains, your phone’s dead, and you’re unreachable? Naomi, you’re seriously asking for trouble.”
Before Naomi could respond, Ronald placed the breakfast he had brought on the table.
“Hurry up
and eat something to ease your hunger. They’re all from Ashburgh. I woke the owner up in the middle of the night to make them.”
Despite being a troublemaker, it was undeniable Ronald was a caring individual.
