Anna looked at her phone and smiled smugly. The enemy of her enemy was her friend.
“Naomi, you’ll soon know who the fool is!”
At the Hough Mansion, Naomi finally placed Jack by the bed with much difficulty.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Jack fell onto the bed, dragging Naomi along. They fell on the bed as Naomi yelped in pain. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
She tried to get up, seeing stars. Jack subconsciously reached out and hugged her waist, not letting her move. “Stupid Daddy, let me go!”
Naomi struggled uncomfortably. Jack did not come around. On the contrary, he hugged her tighter. Feeling Jack’s chest getting warmer, Naomi was stunned. “Damn it! Have you taken something bad?”
Naomi quickly grabbed Jack’s hand with difficulty, taking his pulse. Thankfully, he did not. At that moment, the moonlight fell on his handsome face. He looked gorgeous. Naomi looked up and saw Jack’s exquisite thin lips right in front of her…
What a view!
The temperature started rising, and Naomi’s face got hotter. She subconsciously licked her lips and inched in closer.
“Queenie…”
Rumble!
Jack’s words were like a rumble of thunder striking down on her. Naomi was instantly sobered! Her expressions darkened. She did not know how she found the strength, but she got up from Jack’s clutches and ran out of the bedroom. The next day, Jack slowly opened his eyes when he smelled something herbal. He seemed to have had a happy dream. In his dreams, Naomi, that kid, came over and took him home. It was too bad that she did not appear. Jack’s expressions darkened. He sat up tiredly and noticed a hot bowl of herbal concoction by the side of his bed.
“Sir, are you up?” Smith knocked on the door and entered with breakfast in his hands. “Miss Naomi has instructed you to drink this concoction once you’re up. It helps with the hangover.”
“Naomi told you that?” Jack’s dark eyes brightened. “Who sent me home last night?”
“Miss Naomi. By the way, your injuries aren’t healed yet. It’s best if you don’t drink-” Before Smith could finish his sentence, Jack beamed. “Where is she?” “She left for the factory early in the morning.”
The next second, Jack gulped down the concoction and left. It turned out that he was not dreaming. Naomi indeed came the night before! Since she had already given him an answer, he should also give her his answer! At the Langdon factory, it was the weekend that day. There were few people in the factory, but the sun still shone brightly. Jack’s mood reflected the good weather. From far away, he could see Naomi through the office window. He quickened his steps. Jack merely placed his hand on the handle when he heard peals of laughter coming from inside Jack paused when he heard Naomi’s voice from inside. “Robin, thank you for coming over to help me today.” Robin said gently, “I’m guessing that you must’ve been troubled by the finances after Colin left. Luckily, I have a degree in finance, so I can help you out.”
“I really don’t know how to thank you. Tell me what you want to eat! My treat!” They chatted happily inside. Outside, Jack’s expression darkened. It was the weekend. His cheapskate nephew was not staying at home recovering. What was he doing at the factory?! “I’m not a glutton. If you really want to thank me, just answer a few of my questions.”
“What questions?”
“Naomi…”
Robin’s tone suddenly turned serious. Outside the door, Jack’s expression turned serious too. What was Robin trying to do?
