Free Web NovelChapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Restless in the Dead of Night
But Watt Bennet seemed not to hear her, he walked around the house inside and out, then returned to the sofa and sat down.
"If you feel it’s inconvenient, I can sleep on the sofa, I mean it." Tonight, he seemed determined not to leave, sitting down without any intention of getting back up.
After the incident happened to Summer Sutton, life continued on its original path without drawing any boundaries with him, because she was waiting for his explanation all along.
She also knew that any matter takes time to discover the truth, so she gave Watt Bennett time.
Thinking that there wasn’t much time left to give to Watt Bennet, Summer Sutton did not insist on him leaving.
Just these few nights left, after these nights, it will be time for her to make a decision.
Watt Bennet wanted to sleep on the sofa, so Summer Sutton let him, not disturbing him.
After finishing dinner, she entered Ariella Sawyer’s room and didn’t come out again.
The two of them, one in the living room, one in the room, each sleeping on their own.
The neighborhood where Ariella Sawyer’s apartment was located was just an ordinary community.
Ariella Sawyer was still in her development phase, her income couldn’t compare to someone on Lorraine Hughes’s level, and the daily expenses of the studio were a significant amount of money, her residence was considered quite modest among artists.
An ordinary community, unlike many upscale residences, had security patrolling around the community 24/7, checking the security environment.
The security in Ariella Sawyer’s community, handing over shifts, just five or six people in the morning, noon, and night, only responsible for the gate duty, wanting them to patrol inside the community, don’t even think about it.
Summer Sutton has always been a woman with a relatively carefree mindset, she’s been staying at Ariella’s place for several days now, and all these days, she didn’t feel there was any safety issue in the neighborhood.
However, tonight, perhaps around half-past midnight, a faint, fragmented sound came from outside the room where she was.
Watt Bennet was sleeping in the living room, Summer Sutton hadn’t been able to fall asleep with too many things on her mind tonight.
The sudden noise made her startle slightly.
But she still didn’t pay much attention to it.
Things like thieves were too far removed from her life.
Before, at the Sutton family, with so many servants around, it was definitely impossible for such a thing to happen.
After her grandfather passed away, Summer Sutton lived at the school, a poor student, not a target for thieves.
Later, she met Adrian Walyon.
Anyone who knows Adrian Walyon knows his style.
Just hearing his name could scare off a bunch of people, neither at Morning Garden nor Sutton Gardens did thieves ever dare to visit.
In Summer Sutton’s concept, the term thief was almost irrelevant to her.
She closed her eyes, still preparing for sleep.
The sound outside the room continued, very light, cautious, seemingly coming from the balcony.
Summer Sutton listened carefully for a while, and the more she listened, the tighter her heart twisted.
Why does it sound so much like someone climbing a wall?
Summer Sutton’s heart skipped a beat, she looked stiffly towards the balcony, her face a bit pale.
Could it be, there really was a thief?
Adrian Walyon, that jinx!
Summer Sutton had never encountered such a thing before, her mind was a bit muddled.
Should she ask Watt Bennet for help or not?
The sound outside the balcony came again.
Still very soft, fragmented, sounding then stopping, after a while, it sounded again.
Summer Sutton’s whole body tensed up.
