"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
Meanwhile, things were getting heated up at the university. Due to the day's event, crowds of people were gathered in the campus, and it was very lively indeed. In particular, there was a large group surrounding Benedict. After all, not only was he the school's most handsome student, he was also the president of the chess club. Furthermore, he had an amazing figure and good grades to top it off. Hence, he was quite popular in the university. While everyone gushed over him, a black car drove into the campus. Then, a handsome man came out of the car. He was dressed in a silvery-grey suit, his gentlemanly aura oozing from his every gesture. It was then that someone shouted out of nowhere. "Oh my god, where did this guy come from? How can he be so handsome?" Upon hearing this, many girls looked over. Immediately, all of them were swooned by his good looks. "You're right, he's really handsome!" "Come to think of it, he looks even hotte
Benedict did not really pay attention to the fact that there was no one around him. In his opinion, as long as the person he wanted was there, others didn't matter at all. Furthermore, Naomi was being very nice to him today. It felt as though they were children again - she was Juju, and he was Cutie Pie. They were a perfect match! However, when he heard Nelson' voice, he suddenly raised his head and saw that Nelson was there as well. Naomi asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" Only then did Nelson turn around to look at Naomi and reply, "I'm here to give a talk. Why are you here as well?" Naomi pointed at the chess game and explained, "I'm here to support my friend!" Benedict stood up slowly in the process. When he saw this scene, he finally realized what was going on. A few days ago, he heard from some students that a young entrepreneur was invited by the school management to give a talk. However, it was unsuccessful, yet here Nelson
From the rearview mirror, Richard could see the three in the back seat. One of them was Naomi, who had an anxious look on her face. The other was Nelson, whose expression was so gloomy that it threatened to turn the sky dark; while the other was Benedict, who was uncomfortable but not completely unconscious. More importantly, Benedict - who had been sitting in the middle - felt that Nelson was forcibly dragging him over to lean on him. Hence, he started struggling desperately. However, Nelson stopped him easily. Richard looked at the scene silently. For some reason, it looked much like a scene out of a fairytale, where the evil villain would snatch the innocent princess away. He held back his laughter. The next second, he noticed Nelson glaring at him murderously. "Drive faster!" "Okay!" Richard quickly withdrew his gaze and concentrated on driving. ...... When they arrived at the hospital, Naomi wanted to carry Benedict a
Amos shook his head and said, "No! I'm just concerned whether your hands hurt or not." Eudora was lost for words. "It doesn't. In fact, it won't hurt if I hit you another few more times!" "Then do as you wish! I don't feel pain either!" Eudora was speechless. She suddenly felt as though she had no way to deal with Amos. She couldn't even get mad at him! The next second, Amos reached out and hugged her, asking, "Did your anger subside?" Eudora found herself utterly silent. She had finally met a formidable match! Though... "What should Naomi do? It'll be fine if Benedict gets better, but what if his situation worsens? If something happens to him in the future, how would we be able to face Thea and Harley?" Amos pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "Let the children handle it by themselves. Didn't you say that you wanted to watch more short videos? Recently, the company has invested in a short video project. I've
In the dark of the night, Nelson's tall figure looked even more dashing. Naomi suddenly had the urge to meet him downstairs. And that was exactly what she did. A few moments later, she stood in front of Nelson in her slippers and wrapped in a thin shawl. "Why are you here?" Nelson's voice was low and hoarse as he replied, "Didn't I tell you already? I missed you!" As soon as he spoke, Naomi could smell the scent of alcohol from him. She asked gently, "Did you drink tonight? Maybe a dinner party?" Nelson shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I'm a little annoyed!" Naomi frowned. It was normal for women in love to lose all brain cells they had. If a woman was able to stay level-headed in front of their lover, that could mean only one thing: she didn't love him enough! Coming back, Naomi noticed how annoyed Nelson was. She couldn't help but ask him curiously. "Why?" Before she could finish asking, Nelson su
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
