Who’s the Dog Now? novel Chapter 78

Zebulon couldn't believe his eyes. He hurried forward a few steps, but the car had already driven away.

“Stop!”

Zebulon scrambled to block the car like a madman, but Tiffany quickly pulled him back, asking with a worried look, “Zebulon, what's wrong?”

All Zebulon could think about was Lennon and Naomi going to a romantic restaurant together.

He viciously shook Tiffany off. “Get away from me!”

He suddenly realized that Tiffany had been giving him terrible advice. Knowing Naomi's personality, it was entirely possible she really had no intention of getting back together with him!

He should have realized it sooner, but Tiffany had been whispering all sorts of nonsense in his ear, so he hadn't thought much of it at the time.

Now, seeing that scene, it dawned on him. Although Naomi had always been the one chasing him, it wasn't like she had to marry him.

The Gonzalez and Hughes families were more or less equals. Whichever side chose to end the alliance wouldn't really lose out.

After all, if the Hughes and Gonzalez families were to unite, the benefits would be greater than the sum of their parts. Otherwise, their parents wouldn't have been so eager to set them up.

But if the Gonzalez family allied with another family, they could achieve a similar result. So if Naomi was insistent, her parents might not necessarily force her to marry him.

Zebulon finally panicked.

Thinking back on Naomi's behavior recently, she might not have been playing hard to get after all.

“Zebulon, what is wrong with you—” Tiffany had no idea why his mood had changed so drastically.

Zebulon's face was grim. “I told you to stay away from me, don't you understand?”

Naomi definitely didn't want to see him with Tiffany. It was Tiffany who had insisted on bullying Naomi that day.

He shouldn't have let her.

Zebulon got into his own car, throwing over his shoulder, “Get home by yourself.”

Fortunately, Lennon didn't ask what had happened, which would have made her even more embarrassed.

The two of them went to another restaurant that served regional cuisine in silence. Naomi was still a bit distracted at first, but one bite of the food brought a pleasant surprise to her face.

Seeing the happy curve of her lips, Lennon's tense brow finally relaxed.

After dinner, Naomi and Lennon returned to the studio. Once she finished revising a few drafts, she decided to head back to the university.

“I'll take you.”

Naomi was about to refuse, but she remembered what Lennon had said last time and finally nodded. After a word of thanks, she got in the car.

It was already dark when they got back to campus. Naomi asked Patricia if she needed anything from the store and made a detour to the supermarket. By the time she reached her dorm, it was almost closing time.

She started to jog, and just as she was about to reach the entrance, a figure suddenly shot out from the darkness, heading straight for her.
