Chapter 1716

Naomi had not intended to say it aloud. However, he was so insistent that she had no choice but to let him know. She truly did not want him to go. Under the night sky, everything was painted in dark hues. Even with the occasional glow of lights, the surroundings remained indistinct. Yet the person before her, standing under the soft halo of light, was unmistakably clear. His gaze showed clarity, calmness, and a firm understanding of what he wanted. Scott asked, “Why don’t you want me to go?” As if unaware of her thoughts, he asked quietly and with composure. Naomi said, “I just have this feeling that if you go, things will become more complicated.” It was her intuition. Just a sense she could not shake. Scott did not respond immediately. Naomi knew her reason was not convincing. After a moment, she added, “Honestly, you don’t need to go. You have so much work, and it’s important. This trip to Southwood City would only drain your time and energy. I don’t think it’s worth it.”
