After crying in Naomi's embrace for long, Isabella finally calmed down. She rubbed her wet eyes, asking, "How are you and Mr. Hayward doing?"
Naomi was startled, then suddenly blushed. She pretended to be calm and said: "We went back to the very beginning. It's just that he would take me along every time he goes on a business trip, and takes care of me."
"…"
Isabella blinked her eyes, "Nothing more? He didn't say anything else to you?"
Naomi's gaze dimmed. She curled her lips and shook her head, "No, he's not much of a talker. With his poker face, I can't figure out his mind."
"So you never tried anymore?"
Naomi's eyelids instantly rolled upwards, saying: "D*mn! Don't mention it! Before I even received roses from a chaser of me in front of him, but he didn't have any reaction, or even mentioned it later."
"…"
Isabella didn't know what to say. She knew that Naomi was intelligent and could think of more ways than her.
"And you've never done that ever since?"
Naomi's expression was a little strange. Not knowing if she was disappointed or relieved, she just shook her head, "Since that time, I dared not to over-drink, and I only drank a little even in social engagement, so does he. He tried to keep distance from me now.”
"…"
Isabella became a bit confused. What did that man mean? She felt that he could control his feelings even more than Christian.
Not knowing what Isabella was thinking about, Naomi hesitated and said: "Actually later on, I thought about whether or not I should get drunk again, or just pretend to be drunk to figure out his attitude. But after I saw a photo in his wallet, I gave up."
Isabella said in shock: "He, he didn't get married, did he?"
Naomi shook her head in disappointment, "I asked him before, and he said he didn't. But the person on photo was indeed a pretty girl in her twenties. She might be his girlfriend.”
"Have you ever seen her in reality?" Isabella frowned. Her exquisite facial features scrunched together.
Could it really be a misunderstanding?
"No, I haven't. But I heard him on the phone with her." Naomi said, holding Isabella's hand, she lowered her voice, "I've never seen him talk to anyone so gently."
So gently that made her jealous.
Isabella suddenly became even more upset, and she immediately comforted her: "It might not be what you think. When he was looking for you that day, I don't feel that the anxiety in his eyes was pretended."
Naomi scratched her head, sighing: "I thought about it later, and decided to forget about it. If he continues to be like this, at least it means he wasn't that bad. We were both drunk that night. He wanted to be responsible for me. while I refused. Maybe I should just let it go. How could I separate a couple?"
Looking at her, Isabella helplessly smiled, "Since he wants to keep distance, then why would he take you every time he goes on a business trip?"
After a few seconds of silence, a deep male voice slowly rang, "Thank you, Naomi."
Naomi slowed her pace, looking at the clear sky, she said indifferently: "Mr. Miller, although I also want her to keep the children, but I still hope that you can put yourself into her shoes as well. I don't know the exact reason why you gave her the money, but your identity will definitely put her into an awkward situation. As long as she is a woman with some dignity, she wouldn't accept it."
"I understand. or I won't have asked you for help."
Naomi scoffed, then coldly interrupted him, "You don't understand! You must have come to me as you were out of ideas, right? Since she's in difficulties and needs help now, you think she would definitely accept your money as long as she's stupid. Mr. Miller, oh no, President Miller, until now, you still don't understand Isabella, nor do you truly understand why she insisted on divorce with you that time. "
Christian was completely silent.
Just as Naomi thought that he was about to hang up, he suddenly asked, "Do you know that?"
"He …" Naomi smiled coldly, "Yeah I know it, but so what? You know that I won't tell you. If you just couldn't understand, then you are not meant for him."
It was a waste of Isabella's years of love of him.
Christian's calm voice sounded, "I didn't mean to ask you about it, but still thank you for saying that. You've helped me a lot these days."
After that, he hung up.
Naomi was startled. She looked at her phone, then fiercely pouted her mouth and said: "He's really too dull."
