Scout Finch was so scared that she shrank into Atticus Finchs arms.
"Im sorry, I just wanted to remind Finch... theres an emergency at the company that needs him to handle it."
Tom Robinson looked apologetic, averting his gaze from the people on the bed.
"Do you not know to knock first?!" Scout Finch was furious.
Atticus Finch got dressed and kissed Scout Finchs cheek as if nothing had happened: "Be good, it wouldnt be an emergency if he didnt rush in."
He got up and left, pausing at the door and looking back at Scout Finch: "Wait for me, it wont take long."
Scout Finch felt a warm current in her heart, she nodded shyly at Atticus Finch.
After he left, Scout Finch turned to Tom Robinson with a stern face: "You really treat this place as your own home!"
Tom Robinson frowned, as if hurt by Scout Finchs words, but he didnt explain anything and walked out of the room.
Scout Finch couldnt stand the atmosphere, she straightened her clothes and walked out angrily, wanting to talk to Tom Robinson clearly.
There was no sign of him in the living room, Scout Finch wandered around and saw him in the study typing on his laptop.
Seeing Scout Finch walk in, Tom Robinson closed the laptop, his expression slightly flustered.
"Tom Robinson, when are you moving out?" Scout Finch got straight to the point and asked directly.
Tom Robinsons hand tightened on the laptop: "Are you driving me away?"
"This is after all my home with Finch, how about this, Ill let Finch help you find a house nearby..."
"Impossible!" Tom Robinson interrupted Scout Finch directly, his tone slightly raised, "As long as I am a partner with him for a day, I will continue to live here!"
Such Tom Robinson made Scout Finch feel a bit strange, she stared at him, unable to speak for a while.
"There are some things Finch and I need to take care of each other, so I have to live here, please understand."
Tom Robinson also realized that his tone was too harsh, and he quickly lowered his tone to explain.
Scout Finch took a breath of cool air, and the cool air gradually brought her back to her senses.
"What kind of private matters do you need to take care of as business partners?" Scout Finch was puzzled.
"You will slowly find out in the future," Tom Robinson said with a heavy heart, looking at Scout Finch with a look she couldnt understand in his eyes.
Scout Finch felt her head aching a bit, and she knew her drowsiness was coming again.
Without saying much, she leaned against the wall and slowly returned to her room, her mind constantly echoing Tom Robinsons words just now.
Why did he say that she would slowly find out in the future?
What is it?
This time Scout Finch slept a bit deeply, and it wasnt until it got dark that she rubbed her sleepy eyes and came out of the room.
Stella Kowalski had finished dinner and left, Atticus Finch hadnt come back, and in the restaurant, only Tom Robinson was sitting quietly in a daze.
"Ill help you serve a bowl of soup."
Tom Robinson knew that Scout Finch had the habit of drinking soup before meals, and without waiting for Scout Finch to respond, he had already gotten up and went to the kitchen.
Scout Finch didnt refuse, she played with the chopsticks in her hand, feeling a bit distracted.
Perhaps it was because Atticus Finch hadnt come back yet, and she and Tom Robinson were alone in the same room, which made her feel uneasy.
Especially just now during her nap, she dreamed of a man constantly kissing her, even putting his hand into the private...
Scout Finch still suspected Tom Robinson, but couldnt find evidence.
Lost in thought, the chopsticks in her hand slipped to the ground, Scout Finch bent over to pick them up, preparing to go to the kitchen to change a pair of clean chopsticks.
Just as she walked to the door, she saw Tom Robinson holding a bag of white powder pouring it into her soup bowl...
