Chapter 1052

He understood Charles' intentions because he is a man. Naomi saw the answers to all her questions. She calmed down and smiled. "I didn't say yes. And..." Naomi paused, looking into his calm yet perceptive eyes, and said, "Charles isn't as you think. He did confess, but not in the way you imagine." Scott assumed Charles would confess to her, wanting to be her boyfriend or even marry her. But that was not the case. Charles just wanted to be friends, nothing more and she did not even want to agree to that. Some things, once agreed to, implied agreeing to other things in silence. It would mean Charles could pursue her and that he had a chance with her. If they ended up together, that would be fine. If they did not, would it not just be a waste of time? So, she could not agree. Scott's eyes darkened slightly. He saw her seriousness, her resolve not to waste time. Her answer was clear in her eyes. Charles had been rejected. The night and the streetlights deepened in Scott's eyes.
