Chapter 1118

Naomi got into the car, and Charles closed the door before taking his seat behind the wheel. Shortly after, the car departed from the studio. "I've made a reservation at the same place as yesterday. Is that okay?" Charles asked, steering the car onto the main road and glancing over at Naomi. Naomi nodded. "That's fine." Charles noticed her calm demeanor, unchanged from the previous day, and his smile deepened. Naomi saw his smile, which was devoid of any anxiety or worry. It was as if his confession from the day before and her request for time to think had not happened. Everything seemed unchanged. Naomi found this comforting. There were no constraints, no worries. Everything was straightforward. She liked this simplicity and disliked complexity. However, she knew that not everything could remain simple. Naomi sensed that Charles was in an especially good mood today, likely due to some other matter that had relieved his worry about her response. This was a good thing.
