Chapter 269

"Stop!" "Stop!" Two voices rang out, but they failed to stop Olivia in time. Olivia shoved Naomi, who fell back again just as she got to her feet. However, a figure rushed to Naomi's rescue and caught her in time. Naomi knew it was Charles from how tender, protective, and assuring his hold felt. Holding Naomi tightly in his arms, Charles glared—something he never did—at Olivia. "Ms. Carver, you were trying to hurt her!" Charles had never been this…enraged before. It was to the point he felt himself going taut with fury. Charles was disappointed when Naomi left the booth as she did not eat the flower. He wanted to be with her. He wanted them to have a good love story, a good start. If they had a good start, he would be more confident about them together. Naomi's phone call disrupted this. It was as though the universe was telling Charles that his wish would be met with challenges. He felt dejected. This was the first time that he was so easily affected by such a small matter.
