After getting the directions from Felicity, Gerald found himself arriving at the front gates of a small neighborhood that looked like it was still pretty new.
By sheer coincidence, he also saw Naomi—who had a few groceries in her arms—there! However, a woman and a man seemed to be talking to her as the trio walked further into the neighborhood. The man himself had a notebook and pen in hand, seemingly recording details whenever Noami spoke.
From that alone, Gerald could deduce that the two of them were police officers dressed in regular clothing.
‘What on earth could have happened…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he continued watching them inquire Naomi about something.
As he kept a safe distance from the trio in his car, Gerald made sure to constantly be on the lookout for any women with particularly strong yin physiques.
Before long, Gerald watched as the two police officers shook hands with Naomi—seemingly done questioning her—before driving off in the direction of Mayberry First High School which wasn’t located too far away.
Naomi herself seemed to look quite disappointed as she continued carrying the ingredients back to her home.
Looking at her now, Gerald thought about how it had been almost over a year since he had last bumped into her. Though she still retained her long hair and fair skin, Naomi was now a teacher and Gerald could sense an intellectual charm—as well as greater maturity—from her that hadn’t been present the last time they met.
Now that she was alone again, Gerald drove close to her before pressing his horn slightly.
Hearing that, Naomi turned to look at the luxurious-looking car that was currently slowly tailing her.
As a hint of impatience flashed across her eyes, Naomi simply began quickening her pace. She utterly hated these kinds of playboy rich heirs who assumed that they were greater than others simply because they had more wealth.
‘How disgusting!’
