Outside of the ward, Eudora told Amos about the situation that had just occurred. "Naomi has fallen head over heels for him. I don't know how to persuade her. I think we should let her slowly calm down first!" Amos furrowed his brow and said, "Okay!" Soon after, he reached out to hold Eudora, "When you came out of the house just now, you were wearing very thin clothes. It's raining and cold outside, so I'll take you home!" Eudora glanced in the direction of the ward and asked, "What about Naomi?" "Let her cool off. I'm afraid we'll end up in an awkward situation if we force her to leave now." Eudora nodded her agreement, "Alright then!" In the evening, Amos called Clint again after Eudora fell asleep. "Go and investigate secretly what happened in the car accident." Clint said, "You also think it was too coincidental, don't you? However, it indeed happened by chance!" "What do you mean?" Amos was suspicious. "I've already
When Naomi arrived home, Amos and Eudora were still awake. Seeing her enter the room, Cindy instantly came up to her and asked, "Miss Naomi, are you hungry? I'll prepare dinner for you!" Amos interrupted Cindy by saying, "You don't have to prepare the dinner. Go and do some other work!" Cindy pursed her lips, turned around and left. Only then did Amos look at Naomi and say, "Don't you have anything to say to us?" After much contemplation, Naomi walked over to Amos. She said, "Yes, maybe it's time for me to have a good talk with you two!" Truth be told, Naomi had always been open and straightforward in life, and she disliked beating around the bush. It was the first time for her to not be candid with her parents. However, she had now chosen to be more straightforward with her parents and tell them how she felt. She took a deep breath. Naomi confessed, "Mom, Dad, I like Nelson a lot. Please give me your blessing." Eudora
Naomi was in contemplation when her colleague next to her noticed her. Her colleague asked, "What's wrong? Look at you, you're like a young girl longing for love. Are you going on a date?" Doubtlessly, her colleague was incredibly perceptive. She could see through Naomi at once. Before Naomi had a chance to explain herself, her colleague said, "Since it's a date, you must dress up properly! You usually wear a pantsuit or sportswear so I think you should try putting on a dress!" Naomi was taken aback as she asked, "A dress?" The last time she had put on a dress was when she was five or six years old. She had never worn a dress again, especially after beginning to practice self defense. "A dress would be inconvenient, wouldn't it?" "What's so inconvenient about that? What kind of girl doesn't wear a dress? You should know that dresses are the best garment to show off a girl's charm!" Naomi struggled to reply, "Fine, I'll give it
Naomi lowered her head and poked the thief in the eye. Then, she wrapped her leg up using the hem of her dress. The person whose stuff got stolen quickly caught up and retrieved their belongings. "Thank you! You're amazing!" Naomi shook her head and laughed, "You're welcome. You should be careful in the future." The commotion just now attracted the police officers that were patrolling. They arrived shortly at the scene. After Naomi handed over the incident to them, she was about to turn around but was stopped by Nelson. "Naomi, what did you just do?" Naomi pursed her lips, "What's wrong? I'm fine!" "What if something happens to you? Besides, I'm here. You don't have to go and take the risk." Nelson was so angry that Naomi was inundated with nagging grunts and complaints. "In addition, you're wearing a dress. Where are your shoes? What if you are injured? Naomi, you..." Naomi could only smile, "Are you worried about me?"
"Cutie Pie!" Naomi shouted. It was only then that Benedict returned to his senses and chased after her, calling, "I'm coming!" Naomi raised her voice while placing an order as she entered with an empty stomach. "Beer, tacos, nachos, I'll take them all!" The shopkeeper had already known them quite well and quickly replied, "Sure, please hold on!" A while later, Naomi finally managed to indulge in tacos and beer. She mumbled, "I guess my palate really does suit street food!" Benedict overheard her. He paused for a moment before asking, "Did you have some French cuisine just now? Don't you dislike that the most?" Naomi was stunned and quickly brushed him off, "It's actually not a big deal to occasionally switch to other flavours for a change!" Benedict picked up a glass of beer and said metaphorically, "I guess the usual is better than trying out new things, aren't I right?" This time, Naomi didn't answer him. Instead, she snatched th
"Let's go in!" Amos shrugged indifferently. He knew very well what he was supposed to do. Meanwhile, Naomi assumed that her father had decided to turn a blind eye. She quickly heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Thank you, Dad!" "Don't thank me too early. It's not easy to woo my daughter. Tell him to show some sincerity, or your mother and I will never approve of him!" Then, Amos took another look at Naomi's high heels. "Look, the skin of your heels have peeled off! Have Cindy prepare some ointment for you once you've gone in. The daughter of the Granger family has no need to go to these lengths just to make someone happy. Next time, you're not allowed to wear something like this!" "Okay!" Naomi nodded. She then threw a childish and cute gesture at her father.. "Dad, you're so nice!" Amos was immediately serious as he said, "Don't try to act cute in front of me! That's exclusively for your mother!" Naomi was rendered speechless.
"Benedict Louis?" Nelson tapped on the table with his fingers. Then, he asked, "Does he hang out with Naomi frequently?" Richard replied, "I think they do meet up quite often! I noticed that you were very concerned about it, so I took some time to look into it thoroughly for you." Nelson shot Richard a disdainful look. Then, Richard continued. "Benedict is the eldest son of Amos's good friend, Harley Louis. He has been on good terms with Naomi since he was young. It's said that the two families once thought about getting engaged, but I'm unsure of why they didn't go through with it. However, my intel shows that Benedict has been extremely clingy with Naomi since they were both still very young. Whenever he is ill, he needs her by his side to get better." After Richard finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. "This sounds a bit unbelievable!" Nelson frowned, "He must have ulterior motives!" "I'm not sure about that, but I think you mi
Thea was stunned. When she saw that Naomi had returned, her eyes suddenly lit up. "It's just been a few days, but you look prettier already!" Naomi shook her head and smiled, "Of course not. Auntie Thea is the most beautiful!" When Naomi was with people she was familiar with, she would become very talkative. "How about me? Don't I look good?" Tina asked. "Auntie Tina, you look good as well! You're the most beautiful!" Tina could only laugh out loud, "Naomi, you're still as sharp as back when you were a child! You have good taste! Though, why didn't you tell us that you're in a relationship? I had to find this out from the news!" Thea was stunned and immediately asked, "Naomi, you're in a relationship? Is it with the man from the scandal you had last time?" She had been so focused on taking care of her children that she rarely watched the news. However, she was aware that she had returned last time because of Naomi's scandals with someone
