Chapter 293 Tonight, I Stay
Everything happened too quickly.
Although Odin reacted quickly and raised his hand to block, he couldn’t withstand the opponent’s sneak attack, and one of his eyes instantly couldn’t see things clearly.
Beatrice looked outside and exclaimed in surprise, “Audrey? What are you doing?” Audrey saw that it was Beatrice and Odin, and the things in ‘Yes, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you.”
Beatrice looked at the rolling object on the ground, wolf repellent spray.
She quickly helped Odin into the house and cleaned him with mineral water. Luckily, he blocked it for a moment, so not much of it sprayed into his eyes. After deaning, Odin took the towel from Beatrice’s hand and wiped his face. “It’s all right.”
her hands also fell to the
ground.
Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened her phone to order some medicine that could be used on her eyes for delivery. Then, she looked at Audrey in the room, who looked like a quail.
‘Audrey, what happened?”
‘Don’t you know? Several single women in our area have been stalked recently, it made the news. When I came back today, I had this feeling that someone was following me, that’s why I…” Audrey looked apologetically at Odin, I’m sorry, Mr. Soder.” Odin smiled and said, “No worries, but are you sure someone was following you?”
Audrey nodded vigorously, “After I was catcalled by a man last time, I became extremely cautious around the opposite sex. I even hesitate to deliver takeout upstairs. Yesterday, when I went downstairs to pick up the delivery, I saw a man wandering around outside the apartment building, occasionally glancing inside.”
“I asked him who he was looking for, but he said it was the neighboring unit doing renovations, so I didn’t pay much attention to it “When I came back today, I wanted to buy some fruits at the fruit stall near the residential area, so I got off the bus early. And I saw him again, he followed me all the way back.”
“But if he really is doing renovations, it’s fine for us to enter the community together. However, as I was going upstairs, I suddenly remembered that he had looked closely at my takeout yesterday and asked me how it tasted. It was only then that I realized he wanted to see how much I ordered and how many sets of cutlery I had, in order to determine if I lived alone.”
Hearing that Audrey was so nervous, it is understandable.
Beatrice opened her phone and scrolled through the property group, only to find that the property management had posted three articles and reminded them not to open the door casually.
But recently, she has been too busy these two days, so she didn’t pay attention.
She reluctantly handed her phone to Odin to take a look.
Odin finished reading and nodded in understanding, comforting Audrey, “I was not seriously injured, you can go back and rest early, don’t worry about it.”
Audrey still wanted to apologize, but when she looked up and met Odin’s gaze, she immediately understood what was going on.
She hurriedly said, “Then I’ll go back first. I need to check the door lock, so I won’t disturb you.”
As soon as she heard it, Beatrice knew what she had misunderstood.
But Audrey had already run away.
Beatrice awkwardly looked at Odin and said, “You sit down first, I bought the medicine and it should be delivered soon.”
Odin nodded and said, “I’ll go to the bathroom.” while holding his phone.
“Okay.”
As soon as Odin entered, the doorbell rang.
Beatrice cautiously looked out through the peephole.
The door was only opened when it was confirmed that it was the delivery person.
The deliveryman stared at Beatrice for a moment and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I just fell and broke the bag. Please check if anything is missing inside, and if there is, I will compensate you.”

Beatrice looked at the big hole on the bag, but she didn’t think much about it. She lowered her head to check the medication.
“Not at all, thank you.”
“You’re welcome, remember to leave a good review.”
The deliveryman looked past Beatrice into the room.
Beatrice felt a bit strange, she used her body to block it, and then closed the door.
When she walked back into the living room with the bag, Odin had just finished washing his
his hands.
She looked at him with red eyes and immediately searched for the medicine in her hand, saying, “I’ll give you some drops of medicine.”
“Can you help me?” Odin asked lightly.
“Um.”
Beatrice nodded without thinking, not noticing the smile on Odin’s face.
He sat down next to Beatrice decisively, waiting for her to help him.
Beatrice opened the spray, and a strong medicinal smell immediately made both of them cough, lingering for a long time.
She covered her mouth and nose and said, “I will open the window to let in some fresh air.”
She walked to the bedside and opened the window to ventilate, which finally eased the smell.
Upon seeing this spray, which is a plant extract, it is targeted towards redness and the smell is quite complex.
Beatrice quickly covered the lid, took a deep breath of fresh air, and when she turned around, Odin was already standing beside her.
The two of them exchanged a smile.
“Sorry, I didn’t notice the reminder above.”
“Do you really have to be so polite with me?” Odin asked in return.
Beatrice
noticed that the two of them were
standing too close, and she felt a bit overwhelmed.
Just as I was about to say something, Odin interrupted and said, “Tonight, I will stay.”
“Ah?”
Beatrice looked at Odin in disbelief.
Odin chuckled lightly and said, “In this layer, it’s just you and Ms. Burnett living alone. If what she said is true, it means she has already been targeted. If the other party is really prepared, how will you two women resist?”
Beatrice knew he was right, but she was too embarrassed to bother Odin.
Just as she was about to refuse, Odin approached

Beatrice’s forehead, then slowly slid down to her cheek.
As he spoke,
Beatrice froze for a moment, gripping her hands tightly in nervousness.
She did not dislike Odin.
I could also chat with Odin.
Getting along with each other
was also
very easy.
Perhaps…
When Odin lowered his head, she held her breath, but against all odds, she still raised her hand.
But before she could resist, the overhead light suddenly went out.
She was startled, and Odin took the opportunity to hold her tightly in his arms.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“Did the circuit trip?” Beatrice asked cautiously.
“Where was the main switch?”
“Outside. I know where it is, I’ll go take a look.”
Beatrice was about to walk towards the door when she was pulled back by Odin.
Odin lowered his voice and said, “Shh, go call Ms. Burnett and tell her not to open the door under any circumstances.”

Upon hearing the words, Beatrice immediately understood his meaning.
It is very likely that someone turned off the main switch outside.

She quickly called Audrey, who was obviously very scared, and was saying that she was going out to take a look.
“Audrey, don’t go out, lock the door.”
Audrey reacted, “Okay, okay, be careful, I’m go find the security guard to come and take a look.”
“Um,”
After
hanging up the phone,
Beatrice heard someone moving her door lock in the darkness.
She had just talked to Audrey on the phone, so it couldn’t be Audrey.
Suddenly, the fear in the darkness, along with the sound of rustling, reminded her of the scene where she was locked up by Jakob.
His whole body stiffened involuntarily.
Suddenly, Odin pressed her head into his arms.
‘Don’t be afraid.”
“I had already asked Keyon to wait downstairs,” Odin whispered in Beatrice’s ear.
Beatrice looked up at him, but her throat couldn’t make a sound, so she could only nod.
In a short while, the property management came with the security guards and checked the main switch, confirming that it had been turned off by someone.
But the whole building couldn’t find that person, he must have run away.
The property management reminded everyone in the group not

At that moment, Odin’s phone rang.
He got up to answer the phone.

“Sir, the person has been caught, but it wasn’t me
who caught
them.”
