    Meanwhile, udia was staring at

    always felt disliked by him for some reason. But he’s good friends with Al,


    so maybe it’s just my imagination.


    West was at a loss for words and spoke up for her, “Al’s drunk and might


    not even remember what he said when he wakes up. Why do you have to


    take it so seriously?” After he said that, he giggled and looked toward


    udia. “Plus, you’re also a man, so you can’t be as meticulous as udia


    when taking care of Al. I think we should send him to her ce.”


    Norwood did not say anything further and looked at West with his dark


    gaze. “I said, send him to my ce. If you’re worried, you can stay at my


    ce to take care of him.”


    At that, West argued, “Norwood, why are you-”


    “It’s fine, West. Let’s just go with Norwood’s idea and send Al to his ce.”


    udia smiled. “Norwood is more mature than us, so it’d be better if he


    takes care of Al tonight. I wasn’t thinking straight earlier.”


    Chapter 29 I Can’t Understand You


    Once she finished her words, she gave Norwood a kind smile, but inside,


    she was furious.


    Norwood was one of ric’s best friends, so she did not want to offend


    him, as doing so would only make things hard for herself. Naturally, she


    would not hinder herself like this.


    Following that, everyone helped ric to Norwood’s home. Once they


    finally helped the drunken man settle down, Norwood said, “It’s the middle


    of the night, and it’s not appropriate for a young woman like you to stay


    with three men. West, send her home.”


    West was dumbfounded. “But didn’t you say that we can stay over to take


    care-


    Before he could finish, udia interrupted him. “West, let’s go. Norwood’s


    right. It’s not appropriate for me to stay here.”


    While scratching his head, West sent her home ordingly without

    another word.


    After sending udia home, he plopped onto the couch at about 2.00AM.


    When he saw Norwooding out of the room, he asked, “How’s Al? Is he


    doing okay?”


    Norwood grabbed a bottle of cold water from the fridge and drank it


    before setting it down. “He seems fine. He hasn’t woken up.”


    “Cool.” West felt relieved but soon thought of something and pouted.


    “Norwood, I can’t seem to understand what you were thinking tonight. You


    knew udia likes Al, and Al likes her back, but why did you stop us from


    bringing him to her ce?”


    While sweeping his gaze across West, Norwood replied, “If your brain is still


    intact, you wouldn’t think of sending a married man to a single woman’s


    home.”


    “So, what if we did? It’s not like you don’t know what’s going on with Al. He


    Chapter 29 I Can’t Understand You


    and Victoria aren’t exactly married anyway.”


    Norwood stared deeply at West and questioned, “How do you know that?”


    After a scoff, West replied, “Of course, I know. Let’s not talk about anything


    else but what happened tonight. You called her and said Al was drunk,


    right? Then, you asked her toe over, but what happened? Did she


    appear? I didn’t even see her shadow.”

    When mentioning this matter, Norwood felt confused. When he suggested


    Victoriae over, her attitude did not sound like she was unwilling to do


    so, so why did she not show up?


    The truth was, while West was sending udia home, Norwood phoned


    Victoria again. This time, it took him two to three calls before reaching her.


    Then, he noticed her voice had turned cold, and her attitude was


    “What’s the matter?”


    Chapter 29 I Can’t Understand You


    While he was surprised by her sudden change in attitude, Norwood


    seemed to have caught on to something and asked, “Did youe over?


    What did you see?”


    The other side was silent for a moment before speaking up again, “I didn’t


    head over. Since you’re with him, please take good care of him.” After


    saying that, she hung up.


    At first, he thought Victoria was a relentless woman, but it took him a while


    before he finally realized the meaning behind her words and began


    analyzing what had happened.


    If Victoria did not head out as she said, she would have asked about what


    she ‘should have seen‘ when he asked her that question instead of


    keeping quiet. Also, she would not have said she never went out in such a


    tone.


    When he returned to his senses, he heard West stillining about


    her.

    “How can such a cold womanpare to udia? udia is Al’s savior


    and almost gave up her life to save him back then. The scar from that


    incident is still on her hand. If I were Al, I would marry her.”


    “Are youbining favor with feelings?”


    “Why can’t I? udia is so pretty. Any man would fall in love with her, let


    alone a man she saved. So, what if I mixed them up?”


    At that, Norwood did not intend to argue with him and returned to his


    room.


    The long night passed.


    When ric awoke the next day, he felt a dull pain in his head. Even his


    ability to think had turned sluggish as he looked at his unfamiliar


    surroundings and sat up.


    10:48 Mon,


    Chapter 29 I Can’t Understand You


    “You’re awake.” Norwood ced a ss of warm water before him. “Drink


    up.”


    Seeing that it was him, ric felt a little disappointed but also relieved. He


    pursed his lips before finishing the ss of water in one go.


    After he finished, he held the ss in his hand while frowning. Moments


    “Have you forgotten? You were drunk, so West and I brought you here.”


    ric was dissatisfied with that answer and frowned, but he did not say


    anything. Since he did not speak up, Norwood did not say anything either


    and simply stared at him. As his good friend, he was eager to see how


    long ric could hold in his question.


    Like how Norwood envisioned, ric looked up at him after not hearing


    what he wanted to hear. Something was concealed in his eyes as he


    parted his thin lips to ask, “What happened next?”

    Norwood answered seriously, “What happened next? Nothing.”


    ric stared at him with his dark eyes upon hearing that.

    At that moment, Norwood seemed to have suddenly remembered


    something and said, “That’s right. She came.”


    “She?” When ric heard that, he perked up his ears, and his previously


    dimmed eyes suddenly brightened a little.


    “Yes. She said she wanted to look after you, but you asked me to bring you


    here, so I did.”


    ric frowned. “When did you be so obedient?”


    “I have no choice but to listen to you.” Norwood exasperatedly added,


    “After all, bringing a grown man like you to her home will affect her image.”


    Hearing that, ric finally realized something was amiss. “Who is the ‘she‘
