Chapter 1237
The first time was at the cafe when she hadn’t brought any money, the second time she had been arguing with someone about the price of fixing a car, the third time she had been stuck in the rain while walking around, and the fourth time she had fallen off the stairs and he had had to carry her…
Naomi was even more embarrassed because he was right.
He put a hand in front of her, and she froze before looking up at Francisco.
Francisco looked at her. “Do you expect me to carry you back instead?”
She was frantic. “No, of course not!” She grabbed his elbow and slowly stood up, but the pain in her ankle made her take a sharp breath.
Francisco looked at her right foot. “Twisted your ankle?”
She nodded.
Francisco helped her walk to a tree so that she could sit under it and knelt to remove the shoe on her right foot.
Naomi put out her hand. “Let me do it.”
“Does it make a difference if I do it?” Francisco removed her sock too and looked at her. “It’s still removing.”
Naomi pressed her lips together and thought, ‘Of course there’s a difference! No man has touched my foot before.
“Your foot is so swollen it looks like a pig’s leg.” Francisco helped her massage it, but she was in so much pain she yelped and covered her mouth. “I’m sorry.”
He frowned and looked at her. “Why are you apologizing?”
Naomi looked down. “I’m afraid that… you might think that I’m too noisy.”
Francisco paused and suddenly looked at her. Naomi felt uncomfortable from his stare, so she looked down to avoid eye contact.
After a long pause, he suddenly said,” You’re such a weird woman.”
