Chapter 376 He Wasn’t Angry
I…
Alright, rich people are indeed extravagant.
I was truly tired, I didn’t talk much on the way. Daniel was a man of few words, if I didn’t initiate a conversation, he, like Walter, could basically stay quiet all the way.
When I arrived at the hotel, it was already two in the morning. Just as I parked the car, I unexpectedly saw Walter standing coldly at the
entrance.
With the light behind him, I couldn’t see his expression, but I could feel that his mood was not good.
I quickly got out of the car, my first instinct was that Walter was angry. I needed to explain to him why I came back so late. As I approached him, looking at his restrained expression, I said, “Walter, I…”
“Are you alright?” He spoke before I did, looking me up and down. Seeing that I was fine, he then said, “Let’s go, go back and rest.”
After speaking, he/she pulled me into the hotel.
I looked back at Daniel who had just gotten out of the car, his face expressionless as he watched us. Sebastian was also waiting outside, so I wasn’t worried about him. Feeling a bit embarra*sed, I waved at him to indicate that everything was fine.
Returning to the room, Walter didn’t ask me where I had been that night, he just said in a low voice, “Get some rest early, call me if you need anything.”

Seeing him about to leave, I grabbed his arm and said, “After I finished talking with Rachel, she left without having dinner with me. I
happened to run into Daniel and invited him to join me. I had ordered a lot of dishes and didn’t want to waste them. I was supposed to come back after eating, but then I found a little female cat on the road that had been abused. I wanted to save it, so Daniel and I took it to a pet hospital in the city. We didn’t come back until after it had surgery and was safe. That’s why we are just getting back now.”
After explaining everything in one breath, I looked up at him, unsure if he would still be angry.
He looked at me, silent for a good while, his face no longer looking upset. After a long time, he lifted his hand to tuck the stray hair on my forehead behind my ear, and then he spoke, “Are you trying to explain to me now?”
I was mute, wasn’t that obvious?
Seeing the smile creeping up on his l*ps, I felt a bit embarra*sed. But then again, our relationship at the moment seemed to be nothing more than that of ex-spouses. I didn’t need to explain myself for coming home late at night with a man.
With that thought, I took a step back, looking at him and said, “You can go back now, thank you for worrying about my safety, I’m fine
now.”
Seeing my reaction, his smile didn’t fade. He said, “Too much has happened today. Keep your phone on at all times, Tabatha. I can’t guarantee that those who are after me won’t hurt you.”
Recalling the accident that happened today, I asked, “How is the investigation going?”
His eyes darkened a bit as he said, “The person who tampered with the

cable car has been found. It was a staff member of the scenic area. He insisted that it was a mistake he made carelessly. He has been taken away by the police. The person who jumped from the cable car is dead, and the family is still causing a fuss. We still don’t know what caused the bungee cord to break, and the deceased’s family is still in contact.”
A scenic spot, two deaths in one day, and both occurred while they were having fun. I knew he was probably at his wits’ end at this moment. After this incident, the scenic spot would be closed for rectification, and it would have a wider impact.
I couldn’t help him. Looking up at him, I said, “Even if the person behind this is found now, the losses can’t be avoided. What are you planning to do about grandma and the others?”
The elderly person was frightened today, it probably wasn’t a good idea to stay any longer.
He pursed his l*ps and said, “I’ve arranged for someone to take them back to River City tomorrow, you…”
“I’ll stay,” I spoke up first, looking at him, “With Alexander at the Conner Group, I don’t have to worry.”
Meeting his warm gaze, I stuttered a bit, saying, “It’s not easy for me to get out, it’s my first time in Springbury, there are many places I haven’t been to or played in, I want to explore more, besides… the little female cat I picked up hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet, when she is, I need to settle her down, so… I’m not in a hurry to go back.”
A smile played at the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes fixed on me. His voice was low and husky as he said, “Alright, I understand.”
