Naomi stubbornly refused to let Harold off the hook after seeing how casually and perfunctorily he handled the matter.
“Well, you came to my room and took off your clothes on your own account. I didn't ask you to do that, either. All I did was just enter my room like how I would normally. Now that I think about it, I suspect you did it on purpose and were trying to seduce me,” Harold retorted mercilessly.
“You pervert! I won't let this slide!”
Naomi was on the verge of exploding.
How dare this jerk accuse me of seducing him? I've seen many shameless people in my life, but I've never seen someone as shameless as him! He is unbelievable!
“That's enough, Harold. After all, Naomi is a woman. For sure, she stands to lose in this situation. In my opinion, you should take responsibility for what happened.”
Luna looked at the two of them and felt that they gave off the vibe of a quarrelsome couple like those in romance movies. Such couples often started off misunderstanding each other and getting into disputes before they ended up developing a romantic interest in each other.
As such, she seized the chance to create an opportunity for them.
“How do you suggest I take responsibility, Luna?” asked Harold after regaining his composure.
Earlier, he was merely infuriated by Naomi's snobbish attitude. He was not an unreasonable person by nature.
“That's easy. You two should date each other,” Luna said with a sly smirk.
“No way!”
“No way!”
When Luna finished speaking, Harold and Naomi shot down her idea in unison.
Luna and Michelle shared a look after seeing how in sync they were. They were even more in sync than most couples.
“Well, what do you want him to do then? Do you want him to compensate you? Will that do?” asked Luna, looking at Naomi.
Seeing that Naomi was still upset and unwilling to accept the outcome, Luna leaned in and whispered next to her ear, “Don't forget what you said back at the KTV. You said that you would call Harold 'Dad' if he came back to rescue us.”
She didn't blame Naomi for leaving Harold behind because she thought Naomi just didn't want to call him “Dad.”
“I—”
Naomi felt conflicted upon hearing Luna's words.
Seeing how Naomi was wavering, Luna continued to persuade her, “Let's forget what happened today and not talk about it anymore. What do you say?”
“Hmph! Whatever. Let's go, Michelle!”
After giving it some thought, Naomi had no choice but to give in.
With that, she left Luna's clinic with Michelle in tow.
Watching their retreating figures, Harold and Luna breathed a sigh of relief.
“You're so lucky today!” Luna mocked Harold while pointing at him after she saw the two left. Then, she went back to her room.
Luna trusted Harold's character since he didn't do anything indecent to her when they had been staying under the same roof for days. The man had always behaved himself.
Thus, she didn't think he was peeking at Naomi on purpose.
What had happened between the two was most probably an unpleasant accident.
Meanwhile, Owen had been taken to the hospital.
His parents rushed to the hospital when they received news that their son was beaten up badly and was hospitalized.
Owen's father, Liam Sunderland, who had a belly huger than that of a pregnant woman's, brought his nagging wife to the hospital along with him.
