Nox disappeared for nine whole days, and no one knew where he went. However, Shelly did not doubt what Monica told her. She believed Nox had a lot of confidential matters to deal with, but no matter what, she was still a little disappointed.
According to the conditions that Nox had promised Mrs. Winter, it would be over between them tomorrow. However, Nox had disappeared. She did not know if Nox's disappearance would change the agreement between Nox and Mrs. Winter. In fact, she could not even figure out if she wanted Nox to keep the agreement or… let her go.
Shelly sighed. Sometimes, habits could really change a person a lot, and she had gotten used to Nox.
In the afternoon, she picked Bella up from kindergarten, and the two of them were chatting and laughing on the road when they received a call from Monica.
"Monica."
"Shelly, where are you?"
"I just picked Bella up from school, and we're walking home now."
