If Nox did not want her to do something to clear his name, she would have avoided the conflict between Zoe and Nox since no one would be able to recognize her. Despite that, Nox still came looking for her.
"Come downstairs in ten minutes. I'll pick you up," Nox said and hung up the phone.
Shelly looked at her phone in silence and slowly took a deep breath, appearing very calm.
Then, she called Sarah and asked if she could send Bella over so that Sarah could take care of Bella for half a day. As Sarah did not go to work today, she agreed immediately. She even said that she missed Bella.
After sorting out Bella, Shelly changed into a simple set of clothes and brought Bella downstairs, where a black car was waiting. Shelly sat in with Bella in her arms, and Nox was sitting in the backseat.
The moment Shelly carried Bella and sat down, Bella saw Nox and burst into tears. Nox frowned and glared at Bella, who felt Nox's gaze and cried even harder.
