Pursuing My Ex Wife in Full Blooming Spring novel (Naomi) novel Chapter 139

Meanwhile, in Allenstown, the sun began to set over the horizon, casting its orange glow over the seaside town.

Allenstown was the neighboring city to Herland, and since they were both seaside towns, dawn and dusk came significantly earlier than the mainland areas. Although it was just past six o'clock, the night was already beginning to fall.

Scott left the meeting room with Jay following closely behind as he gave him a rundown of his upcoming schedule. All of a sudden, Scott's phone buzzed, and Jay immediately clamped his mouth shut.

Scott took his phone out of his pocket.

It was Dylan.

He stared at Dylan's name on the screen for a few moments before picking up. "Hello?"

Dylan was sprawled comfortably on the white leather couch with one arm slung lazily across the back. His legs were crossed on top of each other as he drawled, smiling, "Are you back yet?"

There was no hint of anger or frustration in his tone anymore. It was as though what happened the day before was forgotten. Before Scott could even reply, however, Dylan added, "I'm bringing Naomi to Sicily Pub for happy hour later, and if you come back from Allenstown now."

He glanced at his watch and grinned. "You might just make it in time but don't worry. It's fine even if you can't make it. Naomi doesn't need you around anyway. I'll hop off now. I wouldn't want to take up any more of your time, you busy bee. Bye!"

With that, he hung up, as though the call was just a mere formality. Before he could even piece together what was happening, Dylan's voice was replaced by the cold beep of the dial tone, as though it were reminding him that time was running out.

He put down his phone and glanced at the time. "Have you booked the flight tickets?"
