Chapter 51 Scars
Once everything was over, Nolan’s tensed body relaxed, and he leaned against the sofa. “Thanks”
“You’d better say less.”
Eliza tidied up everything and said. “You’re just a high–schooler–why did you get followed? Also, what’s up with your scars? Why are you dressed like this today?” Eliza remembered that Nolan left earlier today before the school ended.
The teacher was fine with it–Nolan enrolled into this school by pulling some strings, and he was also the top student. As long as he didn’t create any trouble, the class teacher wouldn’t care.
“Don’t you think you ask too many questions? Nolan asked. “It’s no big deal. Just random fights with the thugs
“Dressed like this to fight with thugs?” Eliza wasn’t a three–year–old kid; she wasn’t easily deceived. And she knew Nolan was hiding something.
But Noland didn’t want to say, so Eliza didn’t ask. She said. “Take off your coat. I’ll wash it for you.”
“No. Just throw it away
“It’s a handmadé, custom–made coat. You’re gonna throw it away just like that?” Eliza felt that this suit was almost tens of thousands; it was not cheap.
But based on Nolan’s identity, it wasn’t strange for him to be able to wear this set of suits.
“Are
you taking it off or not? If not, I’ll strip you.” Eliza acted like she was going to take off his clothes. Nolan was weak now–he couldn’t stop Eliza. After a short moment. Eliza had already taken off his clothes.
That’s much better.”
Nolan was speechless. He was also semi–naked.
Eliza also noticed it when she took off Nolan’s coat. He had a very good physique.
Seeing this scene, Eliza shified her gaze. Oh, Eliza, we don’t do younger guys.
“… I’ll wash it
“Can’t wash it with water. Just leave it–I’ll ask someone to handle it tomorrow.”
“Alright… If I spoil it. I can’t pay you back either. To cover up her awkwardness, she added, “Also, I… I haven’t finished my homework. I’ll head back to school.”
“Do you think you can still go back?”
It was already late, and the school had a curfew. It was impossible for her to enter the dorms at this time.
“Stay the night. I’ll sleep on the sofa”
“No. You’re injured–your abdominal wound might open up again if you sleep on the sofa. Eliza frowned. Tll take it as caring for the wounded tonight. Don’t move. I’ll help you to bed.”
Then. Eliza walked to Nolan and helped him from the sofa.
Nolan’s entire body was almost leaning on Eliza’s back. Eliza felt her body tense up–she could feel the man’s body Temperature
Nolan said, “I can walk myself
“No. I just stitched
your wound. If it opens up again, I’ll need to stitch it up again Eliza paused and added, “I don’t have such stable hands all the time.
Slowly, Eliza helped him to the bed. She also packed her bag and took out her homework, placing it on the study desk. “Tll do my homework, you sleep. I’ll take a leave for you from the teacher tomorrow.”
“Where’s your family?”
Nolan remained silent.
Eliza looked at the homework in front of her, which wasn’t done at all, and then looked back at Nolan. Finally, she said, “T take leave for both of us tomorrow–I’ll take care of you for a day, since after tomorrow, it’s the weekend.”
“Alright.”
Seeing that Nolan agreed, Eliza also started doing her homework.
After a while. Nolan asked. “Did you go back to the Rivers family today?”
“How did you know?”
“That road leads in the direction of your house.”
“It was Naomi’s birthday. She asked me to go back with her.”
“And you just went?”
“Yeah.” Eliza said indifferently, “I didn’t go back because of Naomi. I just wanted to ruin her mood a little. I’m not a saint.”
Upon hearing that, Nolan’s expression softened a bit.
“Then what about you? Why were you on the road near my house?” If Eliza remembered correctly, the Rivers family lived in a wealthy neighborhood full of villas.
That neighborhood was home to many industry elites, and anyone wanting to live there had to go through an asset evaluation. If one’s personal assets didn’t reach at least a billion, one wouldn’t even qualify.
Nolan said calmly. The more you ask, the worse it is for you. So my advice is don’t ask”
Eliza fell silent. True. There were too many secrets in this circle. The less she knew, the safer she was.
