The Man Who Never Looked Away novel Chapter 312

Lavinia quietly closed the door and left.

The moment the latch clicked, Charley slowly opened his eyes.

He let out a sigh, slowly lifting a hand to run his fingers through his messy hair while staring at the ceiling.

She had slept in the guest room next door last night, and he hadn't slept well at all.

His phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen; it was that annoying Zoey Wallace.

As soon as he answered, she started squawking like a duck. “Boss! Are you awake? Did you sleep well last night? Are you happy today?”

Charley wanted to hang up. He gritted his teeth and held back.

“What do you want?”

“Boss, you don’t sound right. Are you sick? Or did Lavinia not get divorced, and you're having a complete mental breakdown?”

Charley immediately moved to end the call, but he stared at the screen for a moment and ultimately held himself back again.

“Why are you calling me this early? What is it?” His voice was cold, deep, and decidedly ominous.

“Today is the five-year anniversary of the day you took me under your wing.” Zoey’s tone turned serious. “I was an orphan living on the streets. You pulled me out of the slums, sent me to school, and taught me how to handle myself and business. I’ll never forget what you’ve done for me.”

“...Noted. Stop rambling.”

Charley hung up the phone and casually sent Zoey a massive cash transfer.

The money was accepted instantly. Zoey replied: [Don't lose your mind, Boss. Lavinia will be yours sooner or later.]

Charley had to restrain himself for quite a while to avoid blocking her.

He rubbed his temples and turned to look at Nemo, who was lying by the window.

“I am not losing my mind. I am emotionally stable.”

“Yesterday, she was the one who mistakenly thought I was sick. I wasn't faking it.”

Nemo remained completely unfazed, not offering even the slightest reaction.

“You’re a single dog. Why am I even talking to you?”
