Chapter 280
Jonas replied, "Alright. It's late. Get some rest."
Then, he hung up.
Jonas knew that Scott would not let this go that easily. He believed that Scott already had a plan in mind, even during their call.
Jonas looked at the video still playing on his screen and rang up someone else. "Send someone to follow Naomi. Report to me if anything happens." "Yes, sir."
...
Scott put down his phone. His knuckles looked whiter than usual. He looked out at the city skyline, but the lights never reached into his darkened gaze.
Minutes later, he placed his phone on the bar and closed his eyes.
At that moment, silence was all around as if nothing had ever happened.
...
The night was still young in Herland.
Naomi and Charles went to Lucky Street, the area where street food of various types thrived. This was where Charles wanted to take her.
Dylan had taken Naomi and the others there before.
Lucky Street was a long street, and they did not stop to try the food here. Nonetheless, Dylan mentioned that he would take the younger members to try the food here.
After all, most of them were all older people. They could not take such unhealthy foods, so Dylan did not take them along. He only told them that there was such a place that would suit young people.
At the time, Naomi thought of takingNôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Amelia to Lucky Street. After all,
eating was one of the pleasures in Amelia's life. She never thought that she would come with Charles before she could take Amelia here.
When they arrived, it was peak hour. The crowd was bigger than she saw the last time.
The street was bustling with life. Naomi could smell all the different smells of food. There was street food from all over the country.
Naomi was not really particular
about food. As long as it was not too
terrible she would eat them. She liked street food, sure, but she would not eat much as she did not have a big appetite.
Naomi would share a portion with Amelia when she was around. She would take less, and Amelia would take more. That way, they could try a lot more different types of food
They would not be full, but they
would be satisfied.
At that moment, she was with Charles. Naturally, she could not share with him. When they walked by a taco cart, Charles ordered two portions. Naomi asked, "Could I get half a portion?"
The tacos were not huge, around the size of Naomi's hand. Naomi could ask for half a portion. If she were to finish one whole portion by herself, she would not be able to do so. When Charles heard what she said, he looked at her and said gently, "You can't finish one portion?"
Naomi nodded.
The owner of the cart smiled and said, "Simple. I'll just make one with one and a half portions, while the other I'll make it half. Or perhaps you two want to share one portion?
"There are a lot of things to try in Lucky Street, and you'll need a few days to try them all. Take one portion, then you could try the others! I'm sure you'll like them all!" The owner was a pleasant man. He got them to just buy one portion and try the other street foods.
Naomi smiled. "Then..."
Before she could say anything, she was interrupted.
