"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
