Chapter 453"He will."Jack remained certain of this.A flash of confusion crossed Lily's eyes."You seem to know him well. How come I haven't heard you mention him before?"Jack didn't answer. At that moment, Lora suddenly made a new request."How about we use a 10m target? It is difficult for everyone but may increase your chances of winning."When Lora finished her words, the others who had not practiced shooting had drawn a breath of cold air.The pistol's 10m target was the equivalent of putting an A4 sheet of paper 10 meters away.In that case, the size of the ten ring looked as big as a grain of rice!"Is this a target for professional competitions?""Oh no! Naom is definitely going to miss the target!"The crowd came to this conclusion before the match started.Lora curled her lips. She had underestimated Naomi's strength in the first two rounds of the competition.What if Naomi had practiced before? Therefore, she deliberately raised the difficulty and didn't giv
Chapter 454Lily's eyes widened in confusion.Jack's eyes locked on Naomi and he said, "Some people are born to shoot. The more one shuts down one's five senses, and the more one can focus on the bullseye. The ten rings are not in their eyes but in their hearts."Hearing Jack's words, Lily looked at Naomi with amazement.At that moment, Naomi shot again.She shot that ten ring again!Lily was stunned in place!"She is born this way. There are only two people with this talent, you and Lord J.""He is the third."Jack's low voice sounded firm.In his eyes, he had foreseen the result of the game from the start."It's your turn."Naomi lowered her gun and then faintly lifted her chin towards Lora.Lora, however, was not as confident as she seemed at the beginning.She scored one point less than Naomi. Even if Naomi missed the target in the third round, and Lora shot the ten ring, there was a 50% chance that Lora could win!"Hey! Lora, are you afraid to shoot?"At that momen
Chapter 455"Jack, you're always bullying me! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"Overwhelmed with emotion, Naomi wept and punched Jack's chest.However, she didn't know that each of her punches was hitting Jack's most serious wound!"Fine. Hate me if you want to."Instead, he hugged her tighter, and his voice became more careful and gentle."Even if you hate me, don't leave me."He was willing to be beaten to death as long as she let it out!"I'm leaving you!"In his embrace, Naomi was like a child. All her stubbornness and disguises were taken down at that moment.She was so tired that she barely made it through the past five days.She wailed so hard that when Jack brought her to Professor Gregory, Professor Gregory thought Naomi had been violated. He was so scared that his eyeballs almost popped out."What's going on?"Professor Gregory nervously looked Naomi up and down. Then he asked in a shaky voice as he looked at Jack."You didn't take the pills I gave you, so yo
Chapter 456Professor Gregory quickly cleaned and bandaged Naomi’s wound and then left gracefully. Before leaving, he deliberately said to her in a low voice. "This place is the quietest. No one will come here for a couple of weeks. This is the best place for people who have misunderstandings to whisper." Naomi realized his implication and was ready to leave immediately because she didn't want to talk to Jack. However, then she was hugged tightly by Jack from behind before she could take one step. "Don't go." Out of her expectation, Jack's usual overbearing and autocratic tone disappeared, replaced by an overwhelmingly sincere plea. Naomi's eyes turned red again, and she stayed in place as if she had lost all her strength. After all, she was soft-hearted and wanted to hear his explanation. "I never thought of running away from marriage!" Jack's jaw was pressed against her ear for fear that she might miss a word. "On our wedding day, I was drugged by my mother. Whe
Chapter 457"I'm not your wife anymore." Naomi did not look back, and her voice was so calm that Jack felt flustered. "Since Queenie handed me the divorce papers that you signed, and since your mother humiliated me in public, saying that you and I just had a contract marriage, we have been done with our relationship." "What they said is not true! I never signed any divorce papers! My mother can't represent me!" Jack explained eagerly, but it was too late. Naomi was unmoved and asked. "Then what is true? Wasn't our marriage agreed on a contract in the first place? Mister Hough, our contract has expired, so you and I have nothing to do with each other. Please don’t call me wife, and don't bother me again." Naomi's tone was very cold as if she were saying goodbye to a stranger. From now on, they would be strangers forever. Then she left directly! "Bang!" The door was closed. Jack's heart once again fell into the dark abyss! "Sir!" For a moment, Sean rushed in and looked
Chapter 458"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Looking at the obstinate Lora, Naomi shook her head resignedly. "It seems that you don't understand love at all." "Like you understand what it is." Lora talked back.Naomi froze, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. "Maybe it's better not to know..." 'Or you will feel pain in your heart.' After saying this, Naomi bypassed Lora and returned to the indoor shooting range to continue her training. As soon as she entered the door, everyone surrounded her with concern. Saif was the first one to grab her hand and look at her worriedly, looking like she was going to cry. Naomi reached out her hand and patted Saif's shoulder with a smile. "Why do you look like you're going to cry? I'm the one who got hit, not you." Saif suddenly blushed, let go of Naomi's hand, and stepped aside angrily. Naomi dubiously glanced at Saif, thinking, 'This little girl's temper is really cranky!' "Master! Let me avenge you!" Paulo's eyes were red with a
Chapter 459 At this time, Lily, on the podium, patted the blackboard to let everyone be quiet. "Everybody, find your seats and sit down quickly!" Naomi sat down in the first row. Beside her was Saif, and Lora sat right across the aisle from Saif. After everyone sat down, Lily asked the pharmacology teacher to give them a lecture. At first, the content of the teacher's lecture was quite normal. "Today's lecture is divided into two parts. First, I will teach you how agents pass on information, and the chemicals we use to hide words." Naomi raised her eyebrows, thinking of spy blockbusters she had seen before. Suddenly, she was interested. "Different chemicals also need to be matched with different writing instruments and different types of paper to work. Now check them. Make sure that you remember all the methods today!" Naomi opened the drawer in front of her. There were all kinds of special writing materials, such as sulfuric acid paper, a pen with special ink, and
Chapter 460Lily's expression became more serious. "I am very pleased with your guys’ reactions, which show that your hearts are full of kindness and justice. I would like to tell you that these poisons are prepared for us at a critical moment. As agents of National Security Bureau, we are all involved in classified missions. We shoulder the responsibility, so we must defend the secrets with our lives! Even the family, we can't say a word to them!" ‘Defend the secrets with our lives!’ Naomi was shocked. ‘Is it true that Stinky Daddy didn’t tell me because of the mission?‘He really couldn't get in touch with me? ‘Is this the price I have to pay as an agent of National Security Bureau?’ All of a sudden, Naomi felt sad as if her heart was pinched. ‘Should I trust Stinky Daddy again?’ On the podium, Lily opened her mouth again, and Naomi's thoughts were interrupted. "Once we are captured, we would rather end our lives to protect secrets and the security of our country!
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
