Chapter 397"Mister Daddy’s mother?" Naomi was confused. "Yes! She looked so powerful! " Janell lowered her voice and complained to Naomi. At the same time, the woman had already stood behind her. "Mind if I come in?" She was just asking, but her tone was imperious. ‘Sure enough, she is Mister Daddy’s mother, with the same personality.’ Naomi murmured in her heart, but she still had a smile on his face and made a gesture to show her agreement. "Janell, pour a cup of tea!" "No need. I'll leave soon after saying a few words." Madam Hough’s tone was neither hot nor cold. Naomi blinked and thought, ‘It seems that Madam Hough knows Mister Daddy and I will hold two weddings. So now I’m facing my mother-in-law before the wedding?’ Janell was in a bit of a dilemma and looked at Naomi for help. Naomi straightened her back and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. "No matter how long you sit, we can't lose the courtesy." "Yes!" Janell immediately responde
Chapter 398"Except for being the president, my son also shoulders greater ideals and greater responsibilities! It's a common occurrence for him to go through life under fire and bullets. You should have seen the way he was seriously injured last time. He can't give you a peaceful life, so he's not suitable for you, not for ordinary people." Hearing Madam Hough's words, Naomi suddenly became rebellious. "Who says I want a peaceful life?" Naomi raised her eyebrows and showed a recalcitrant smile. "I am not an ordinary person, and last time I healed his serious injury. I'll save him no matter how badly he gets hurt. We're a perfect match!" Speaking of the last sentence, Naomi specially stressed it loudly. "You are very brave." A trace of untraceable compliment flashed in Madam Hough's eyes, but soon her eyes were filled with apathy and alienation. "But the Hough family is a large family, and many people want his position. What you did before has brought too many negative
Chapter 399"Because she really loves Jack." Madam Hough looked at the sign of Langdon outside the window with a complicated gaze and then sighed with regret. "If she were not Rachel's daughter, that would be great." "Madam Hough, let's go to Hough Corp!" Seeing that Madam Hough showed regret to Naomi, Queenie felt a little disgusted and interrupted Madam Hough impolitely. Then she stepped on the accelerator and left Langdon immediately. In the office, Jack was sitting at his desk, listening to Sean report on the progress of wedding preparations. "Basically all the details have been completed except for the guest invitation list. Most of the relatives are in Royal City and will attend the wedding held in Royal City, but your parents... How about..." At this time, Sean hesitated. Jack's long fingers were folded on his jaw, and he blinked with hesitation. He remembered how strongly his mother had objected to him being with Naomi. At this time, the gate was pushed op
Chapter 400“As a top talent in Hostroy, she enjoyed the best treatment. Haven’t you ever thought about her motives for betraying the country? Since this is an unsolved case, I will find out the truth myself! The reason you gave is not well-founded, and I will not break up with Naomi because of an unsolved case!”“Really?”Madam Hough sneered and pointed at Jack with trembling fingers.“Your father also holds intense hatred against Rachel. Is this a sufficient reason?”“What do you mean?”Jack narrowed his eyes. At the mention of her husband, Madam Hough’s eyes had already turned red.“When your father had a leg disease, everyone said that only Rachel could cure it. I took your father to Rachel and knelt in front of her house for three days, but she never showed up! As a result, your father missed the best opportunity for treatment, and he has to stay in a wheelchair all his life! I will never accept my enemy’s daughter to be my daughter-in-law!”Jack’s eyes widened in surprise.
Chapter 401Naomi subconsciously stood up. Jack rushed at her immediately and hugged her tightly in his arms.The pleasant smell on his body entered her nostrils in an instant.“Mister Daddy, how did you...”“I won’t allow you to give up!”Before Naomi finished her words, Jack directly interrupted her.His voice was a little sullen, with a trace of fear in it.She didn’t expect that Jack could also be afraid of something.“I won’t cancel the wedding! No matter what others say, I will marry you!” he said in a firm and domineering tone.His words gave her great courage, and all her worries seemed to dissipate at once.“OK.”Naomi smiled and put her arms tightly around Jack’s waist.She rested her chin on his shoulder, making them closer.“I won’t give up, for I’ve never been afraid of anything!”Hearing her affirmative answer, Jack finally rested assured.He bowed his head, and Naomi happened to raise her head to look up at him. Her cute appearance instantly melted his hea
Chapter 402Naomi couldn’t bear to hear others speak ill of him, so she took the initiative to speak up for Jack.Jack had already pulled a long face, but when he heard Naomi’s words, his expression softened a lot.They exchanged pleasantries for a while, and it was already late at night.Jack was about to take Naomi back home first.Uncle Zach suddenly stopped them in front of the car and asked seriously, “Mr. Hough, you haven’t told us when the wedding will be held.”“In three days.”“Three days later? Then you can’t take Miss Naomi back!”Uncle Zach immediately pulled Naomi to his side and stood in the front to stop Jack from approaching Naomi.“Why?”Jack frowned with displeasure, and he was about to lose his temper.“Couples can’t meet each other for a total of three days before the wedding, otherwise it will be unlucky! It is better for Miss Naomi to live in Green Residence.”At this point, Sean also came up with his mobile phone and persuaded Jack in a nervous voice,
Chapter 403“Put this matter off for the time being.”Jack frowned deeply and subconsciously refused.Actually, he hadn’t found out the truth about Rachel’s case.If Shannon saw the file, Naomi might have some misunderstandings.He would never allow such an incident to happen before the wedding!“Well ... OK!” Sean hesitated for a moment and stuttered."How is the promotion of the wedding?"Jack tilted his head and asked.“Please rest assured, sir. I have arranged for it this morning! Now the news about the wedding has spread throughout the whole city!”Sean grinned and handed an iPad to Jack.On the screen, the news that Naomi and Jack were going to have a wedding was presented.“This time, I won’t let Naomi suffer any grievances!” Jack said firmly.In the high-end apartment opposite the Hough Corp’s building.The TV host was passionately broadcasting the news of Naomi and Jack’s upcoming wedding on TV.“Bang!”Queenie, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly slammed the
Chapter 404“Miss Naomi, give me your hand!”At this point, a male voice sounded outside.Naomi opened the car window and saw a familiar face.“Evan? Why are you here?”“Shannon was afraid that you might be in danger, so he asked me to take some men to protect you at any time!”Evan explained and stretched out his hand towards Naomi.Leaning on Evan’s shoulder, Naomi struggled out of the car, and she couldn’t help shaking all over. When she set her feet on the ground, she found that her legs had gone limp!“Miss Naomi, Mr. Shaw gave you a video call.”Evan handed the phone to Naomi respectfully.“Shannon!”Naomi held the phone and shouted in a choked voice.“Don’t be afraid. You are out of danger now!”In the video, Shannon looked at her with a worried expression.“Is the gang that killed Cayden targeting me now?”Naomi’s eyes instantly turned cold.“Yes. I didn’t expect them to take action so quickly, and they are more powerful than I have expected. They already knew th
Chapter 473"Of course not!" Naomi shook her head and answered firmly. "I'm a doctor. Trust me. I will cure you!" Naomi then reached out to smooth Jack's furrowed brows. "Don't think about those horrible things. It's all in the past." "All right," Jack said as he grabbed Naomi's soft hand and rubbed it in his palm. The anger and fear in Jack's heart faded at a glimpse of Naomi. Jack's face eased up. He went on peacefully, "Luckily, then I met a girl. She saved me." "I see." Naomi responded, jealousy in her heart. ‘Obviously, that girl was Queenie. ‘Speaking of Queenie, Mister Daddy becomes so tender. ‘All right! Queenie will always be your angel!' Naomi got angry when she remembered what Queenie and Jack's mother had done to her at the wedding. ‘But Mister Daddy trusts Queenie so much, and Mrs. Hough is his mother. Whose side will Stinky Daddy be on if conflict breaks out among us in the future?' Naomi hung her head down. She had little confidenc
Chapter 472 Sean was speechless. He scratched his hair. Professor Gregory sighed. He stood up and turned to go. "Maybe there is going to be another storm."It was cold at night.Naomi sat on the steps by the fountain at the Base. She clutched her legs in her arms. Jack draped his jacket over her shoulders. "It's cold." "You're the patient. You need it more than I do." Naomi wanted to take the jacket off, but Jack stopped her and took her into his arms. "I'm all healed up." "Really?" Naomi looked at him suspiciously. Then Jack grabbed Naomi's hand and slipped it under his shirt. Touching his hot skin, immediately, Naomi blushed. "What are you doing? We're in a public place..." "I'm just letting you check me out." Jack replied calmly, innocence in his eyes. "All right," Naomi felt extremely embarrassed. She felt ashamed of her thoughts. Jack raised his eyebrows. He sensed her embarrassment. He deliberately leaned in and teased, "You want to d
Chapter 471Jack's eyes showed a glint of embarrassment, which meant he admitted it. "Sean said you couldn’t sleep well. I remember you always had to hold something while you slept..." He wanted to say that Naomi had to hold him to sleep well, but he swallowed it. Naomi's eyes twinkled. Immediately, she felt something pinch her heart hard. "Since you don't like it, give it back to me.” Jack was about to take the doll away. "No! You gave it to me. How can you take it back?" Naomi hid the doll behind her back. Just as Naomi was grabbing the doll, suddenly Jack opened his arms and took both her and the doll tightly in his arms. Jack's unique and fresh scent immediately enveloped her. Falling into the familiar embrace, Naomi instantly got emotional. Her eyes welled up with tears. She quietly leaned into his arms, enjoying the moment. Jack held her tighter as if he was afraid she would run away again. He wanted to take it slow, but he couldn't hold it anymo
Chapter 470 A worried look flashed across Jack's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He averted his eyes. It was silent. Naomi's lips quivered. So many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out. "Uh... Are all your wounds healed?" "Yes." Jack replied indifferently. He sounded aloof. Naomi looked up at him, but he didn't look at her. Naomi didn’t know how much effort Jack had used to refrain from looking at her. But still, he sneaked a peek at her out of the corner of his eye. Naomi nervously gripped the doll with her fingers. She was looking for anything to say to Jack. ‘The doll... Right! ' Naomi immediately held up the doll and asked, "Did you give me this doll and the fruit that appeared on my windowsill these days?" "No." Jack bluntly answered. Jack remembered that Sean had told him earlier that anything Jack sent to Naomi, she would throw it away. ‘But Naomi can't sleep well if she doesn't have a doll to cudd
Chapter 469"Shooting the ninth ring will pass. My master shot the bull’s eye. Why didn't he pass?" Paulo questioned angrily. Robin also sneered at Jack, "Mr. Hough, you're not finding fault with Naom, are you?" Snap! Jack closed the folder abruptly, and everyone was shocked. The range fell silent! Jack looked Naomi steadily in the eye and replied calmly, "Your elbow is in the wrong place. You're shooting impulsively. And your breathing is not steady." Naomi blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. Then Jack's low voice rang out above her head. "If you want to join the National Security Bureau, you have to do your best!" Immediately, Naomi's eyes flickered. She looked up at Jack. ‘Mister Daddy knows what I’m up to?' Their eyes met, and the look in Jack's eyes reassured her. "You're not good enough." "You're not fair." Saif spoke up angrily for Naomi. "In my opinion, it's you..." "Saif!" Naomi stopped Saif. The anger was gone from her face, a
Chapter 468 "I'm sorry." "It's okay. Your nerves are too tight these days. You should relax a bit." Robin showed a worried look in his eyes. He handed Naomi a bottle. "I made the tea. It helps you calm down. Try it." "Have you had lunch, Master? Have a piece of cake!" Paulo handed Naomi a piece of cake, and Saif took out a handkerchief to wipe Naomi's sweat. For a moment, Naomi felt warmed by the concern of so many people. "Thank you all." "It’s OK. We are a team!" "Yeah, we're a team!" The four then burst out laughing at the same time. Not far away, Jack cast his eyes on Naomi. Seeing Naomi so close to the other three, he felt jealous. He got angry and clenched the pencil in his hand so hard that it broke into two! "The pencil broke?" Lily asked in surprise. Jack's face didn't change color. He picked up another pencil."The quality of the pencil is too bad."The test began. Everyone on each team had to hit the ninth ring, or the team‘’s score wo
Chapter 467Snap-- Just after Sean finished, the banana in Naomi's hand hit the ground. It rolled a few inches and stopped next to the trash can. Naomi felt like she was drenched by a bucket of ice water. She immediately came to her senses. Naomi was like a drowned rat, so frustrated and pathetic. Sean resisted the urge to tell her the truth and told Naomi to leave. "Miss Naomi, excuse me." "I'm sorry." Naomi turned in dismay. She walked aimlessly forward like a ghost. ‘I should forget about him, but why does my heart hurt so much?' "Naom!" Saif ran towards Naomi from not far away and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks awful. Do you want to go to the doctor?" "No, I'm fine, really!" Naomi shook her head. "Should I take you back to the dormitory to rest a bit? There's still some time before the shooting test." Saif reached out to help Naomi, but once again Naomi refused, "We should go straight to the range." Half of the trai
Chapter 466 "If they end up breaking up, I'm screwed!" "Don't worry!" Professor Gregory patted Sean's shoulder. "It took me only a month to win your mom’s heart. I know women. Trust me! You won't regret it!" "OK. I trust you!" Sean scratched his hair. Then he went to report to Jack with suspicion in his heart. As soon as Sean got into Jack’s room, he immediately put on a timid face. "Sir, Mrs. Hough didn't take anything you asked me to send to her. She said..." "What did she say?" "She said she hates you and that she never wanted to see you again!" Sean made it up deliberately. He was tense inside. Jack, who was lying in bed, showed a gloomy look in his deep eyes. Sean panicked and hurriedly asked, "Should I send her the stuff again?" "Yes. But you need to do it secretly." Jack replied without hesitation. "Don't let her know it's me." "Then what's the point of that?" Sean wondered. "I just want her to be happy." Jack dropped his eyes, and hi
Chapter 465“Okay.”Naomi’s tone was rather calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.In fact, she was totally stunned. But since things had become like this, there was nothing she could do to change the past. Sean widened his eyes and looked at Naomi in disbelief."That's your answer?"Naomi looked away, bypassed Sean and went away."I got to go."After saying that, she left like a ghost.Sean’s heart sank and he heavily sighed."Mrs. Hough doesn't want to be with Mr. Hough anymore. It’s doomed!”"Don’t talk nonsense!”Professor Gregory just returned back to the operating room. He stared at Naomi's back and said with a meaningful smile, "The two of them will get back together!” "How can that be? Didn't you see Miss Naomi's reaction?” Sean retorted.However, Professor Gregory answered like an experienced man, "Haven't you ever heard that one can make the best out of a bad situation?”......Naomi went back to the dormitory and closed her eyes after lying on the be
