Chapter 993

Naomi fluttered her eyelashes lightly before lifting her head to gaze at the phone placed on the dining table across from her, belonging to Charles. It was Charles' phone, ringing with an incoming call. Charles's expression flickered slightly as he glanced at the phone on the table. He had not expected a call at such a moment, but then again, it was not entirely unexpected. Given his line of work, receiving numerous calls throughout the day was normal. However, at such a crucial moment tonight, nothing else seemed important. He should have put it on silent mode beforehand, but such thoughts were now too late as the call already come through, shattering the tranquility of the moment. Charles picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID, a warmth flashing in his eyes. It was his mother. Indeed, the sudden call was not from a colleague or a friend but from Wendy. Checking the time displayed on the screen, Charles then said to Naomi, "I'll go take this call." Naomi nodded.
