Once he had cleaned up the kitchen, he went straight back to his room. When he came out of the shower, Shelly had also returned to the room after putting Bella to sleep. The two of them did not communicate much. Since Shelly would not take the initiative to talk to him, Nox gradually became less proactive.
After Shelly came out of the shower, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and smiled brightly. It was a smile that she would show anybody but Nox.
He watched as Shelly took her phone and put on a bathrobe to go to the balcony outside the room to answer the call. With the floor-to-ceiling glass door closed, he could not hear what she was saying at all.
"Sarah, you're finally awake, huh?" Shelly teased.
Sarah blushed and glanced at the man sleeping on his bed. She said, "You came to pass me a phone today."
"I didn't mean to bother you."
"Shelly."
