"Also, even if you're just putting on an act, if the girl is to marry into our family, you have to promise me one thing, that is…"

In the basement parking lot.

After an hour, Jack finally arrived. Naomi noticed the bag of medication in his hands. She furrowed her brows and asked concernedly, "Are you sick?"

"It's for you." Jack pretended to nonchalantly throw the bag in Naomi's lap. He observed Naomi's reaction through the corner of his eyes via the rearview mirror.

Naomi looked into the bag. It was medication for bruises. She instantly smiled widely.

So, he did notice the bruises on her body!

"Thank you, Mister Daddy!" Naomi thanked him sincerely. Jack pursed his lips into a little smile. A sense of haughty awkwardness flashed across his face.

"Don't think too much into it. This is to thank you for saving Grandpa."

"I know." Naomi nodded. This man truly did not know how to read the room.

"But I have to clarify. I rescued Old Mister Hough because I wanted to, not because I

    "Hey, Princess Naomi, how long more will you take?"Naomi sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Susan, I might be ten minutes late. I'm walking to the metro stop right now."Naomi had planned to go shopping with Susan that day. Initially, everything was right on track. She never expected to have a big fight with Jack."Forget about it. I'll get the driver to come and pick you up. Send me your location.""You're the best, Susan!" Naomi smiled happily!

    "Amazing performance!""She tells a story with just a look! She's a natural!" The staff was stunned. They took their phones out to snap some photos.The models who mocked Naomi a moment ago immediately shut up, embarrassed.Especially when Naomi looked at them. They lowered their heads, wanting to hide.After that, Naomi was invited by the brand and continued shooting a few more looks, partnering with Susan.The photographers went nuts. They took photos non-stop for almost half an hour."My god! They are all exquisite works! I don't want to give up a single photo!" In the end, the photographer stood in front of the computer and exclaimed."Why have I not seen this model before? How could I not have an impression of such a great model?" The photographer was very curious."That's because she retired ten years ago," Susan said meaningfully. At that moment, Naomi had changed into her clothes and came out."Susan, am I robbing other people of their jobs?""Of course…""Of course,

She must reinvestigate her mother's death! "Naomi, Naomi! What are you thinking? We agreed to go shopping yet you're here daydreaming!"

Naomi smiled helplessly. "Susan, about signing the deal, I still need more time to think this through.""Okay, then."

"Alright then, I'll go to the banquet tomorrow night as well. If anything happens, I'll be able to help you." Susan patted her shoulder with some concern."Susan, I love you!"

    The girl fell face-first onto the floor and planted herself on the ground with her limbs outstretched, unmoving. Jack clicked his tongue with lowered eyes.Was she broken?The girl on the floor still did not move, and she started to breathe calmly.She's still asleep?Jack laughed silently to himself as he unconsciously bent down and reached his hand out, but remembered him carrying her out of kindness the first night and being scolded…The man's face sunk and turned around to leave after a moment."Achoo! Cold…"Naomi let out sneeze after sneeze, fast asleep on the floor. She was talking in her sleep."Achoo!"Jack frowned as he clenched his fists before relaxing them. After puzzling over it for a few seconds, he returned to the sofa.He bent down and picked the girl up from the ground, placing her on the sofa. He was just about to remove his hands when…Naomi suddenly wrapped around him, hugging his arm tightly with her hands and legs.The girl's fresh smell assaulted J

    "Oh?" Jack almost let out a cold laugh as he motioned for her to continue."Why?""Because…"Naomi jumped and sat on the sofa, adopting a tyrannical stance as she started to spout a bunch of nonsense with a serious look, "You keep making me sleep on the sofa. I can't stretch my legs or turn my body. The living room is so cold at night, I never sleep well! This time the effects were mild, but if it gets worse I might even sleepwalk! If I accidentally got a knife from the kitchen…"Saying that, Naomi deliberately stopped, sneaking a look at Jack."So what do you want to do?"Jack crossed his arm around his chest as a cold and nonchalant smile was on his mouth. He stared at Naomi."Of course, you should let me sleep on the bed. I'm not so unreasonable, we can take turns using the bed, surely that's fine? You promised me you would consider it last time!"Naomi impatiently blurted out her final words, but when she saw Jack's expression, she frowned. That old man was so petty, he w

    "Have you prepared your clothes for the banquet?""Clothes?" Naomi took a sharp breath. She had completely forgotten about it after busying herself with her thesis the entire day."Just from your tone, I can tell you didn't prepare anything! However, someone asked me to prepare a present for you," Susan said mysteriously on the phone."A present? From who?" Naomi thought about it in detail. Other than Susan, she had already cut off contact with the rest of them.All that was left were scumbags like Gary and Scott, it was already great if they weren't trying to harm her.Who else would give her any presents?"It's a secret, you'll know when you're here. I'll have the driver pick you up!"Before Naomi could ask any more questions, Susan hung up the phone…At eight that night, in West City Hotel, a long red carpet extended from the entrance of the hotel to the hall. Both sides of the carpet were filled with media members and cameramen. They fought against each other as the flash

    On the second-floor balcony, Jack stood by the railing and happened to see that scene."Sir, Miss Naomi seems to be getting bullied, should we help her out?"Sean stood by his side, and could not help but look over Jack when he saw Naomi being pitifully surrounded by a good number of women.The man pursed his lips slightly as he recalled what Naomi had said the day before. His expression darkened, 'We're not really husband and wife, why do you care?'"Sir?" Sean tried to ask him again.Jack coldly averted his gaze, and his tone sounded aloof, "Doesn't she always do whatever she wants? Who can control her?""Oh…" Sean helplessly shut his mouth as he looked at Naomi with worry.All those women were powerful socialites within Gin City, could Naomi really handle them?"Who said my dress is cheap?" Naomi crossed her arms around her chest as she glanced at everyone."Hmph! Naomi, you really don't have any common sense. Do you think buying a gown that looks like it's from a famous br

    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

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.

    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."

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?
