One Night Stand With That Beggar

It was proven that the relationships between humans had to be built on trust.

Once the trust had been lost, unusual signs which hinted at the possibility of a conspiracy could be found from the very beginning. It was just that those signs had been disregarded in the past.

For instance, Monique had come out of nowhere.

It had been incredibly strange for Naomi to run into her on the street and also at the next door of Nelson’s house.

Was there really such a perfect coincidence in the world?

Other than that, Nelson, who had disappeared for so many years, had suddenly turned up and inserted himself into her life. What was more, soon after he had reappeared, he had stolen her heart away that easily.

Moreover, she had not held the slightest bit of hesitation in doing so.

“Nelson, you actually approached me with ulterior motives, didn’t you?”

In that instant, she had become so rational that she seemed to have seen through everything clearly in an instant.

Nelson was astonished as he quickly replied, “Naomi, let’s not talk about this anymore, okay? Calm down first, and then we’ll talk when we get back.”

“I’m really calm right now!”

She was really composed with an inscrutable expression. She looked unruffled, and that trace of desire and love for him in her eyes had gone out of the window too.

She just stood there and stared at him quietly.

However, that was enough to dismay him.

Seeing that he was staying quiet, Naomi smiled sardonically.

“Anyway, with all this evidence, everything is as clear as day now. It doesn’t matter anymore whether you explain everything or not. Nelson, I hereby announce that our engagement is cancelled.”

After that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Nelson wanted to chase after her, but Sugar Bun blocked his path.

“Nelson, don’t you dare go near Naomi anymore. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Eudora couldn’t believe the truth either as she looked at Naomi with pity in her eyes.

Like Naomi, she had also reckoned  that Nelson was a good man.

In reality, he was indeed a cultured and sophisticated man. However, they hadn’t expected that the truth would be so unbearable. It broke Eudora’s heart to see Naomi experiencing such an misfortune

Therefore she spoke coldly to Nelson, “If you’re the one who did all those things that Emma said, then you don’t deserve to be here.”

Amos even instructed Clint to call the police directly.

He thought that he had been a good judge of character. To his consternation, he had been deceived by a young man.

He had been so close to allowing Nelson to marry the apple of his eye.

Clint was about to call the police when Naomi stopped him all of a sudden.

“Uncle Clint, please let me do this.”

Clint gazed at her open-mouthed. As a matter of fact, he was not the only one who was confused, but Eudora, Amos, and Sugar Bun were too.

“Naomi…”

Eudora called out to her in a low voice.

Naomi apologized to her parents, “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. I’m not a good daughter. I’ve caused both of you and the company to suffer because of my own personal desires. Now, please allow me to bring this calamity to an end.”

After that, she took her cell phone out in front of Nelson and composedly dialed the police.

At the same time, Nelson was looking at her blankly.

He didn’t shift his gaze away from her as her fingers moved across the screen of her mobile phone to dial the number. At that moment, every second felt like hours to him.

She got through and said to the officer on the other end apathetically.

“Hello, I would like to report a case.”

Hearing her words, Nelson let out a bitter smile. He was truly hurt to the core.

“Ah…”

He involuntarily took a step back and covered his chest with his hand.

Naomi hung up on the call.

He said softly, “I’m so sorry.”

Naomi stayed quiet, not even looking at him. All she did was just turn around and she calmly said to Clint, “Uncle Clint, please keep an eye on him. Don’t let him escape!”

Then, she straightened her back and strode back to the lounge under Nelson’s intent gaze.

Amos frowned and poked Eudora in the hand. Only then did Eudora come to her senses and she quickly followed Naomi.

…

Eudora ran over to the lounge.

Before she pushed open the door, she heard sobs coming from inside.

At first, she had been anxious, but upon hearing Naomi’s cries, she calmed down.

Naturally, she was the one who knew her own child best.

She was afraid that Naomi would bottle up the sorrow and disguise herself as a mentally strong person in order to allay their worries.

Fortunately, Naomi had not done so.

She would feel better after expressing her feelings instead of suppressing them.

Eudora sighed, then slowly pushed open the door and went in.

Naomi was sitting on the floor of the lounge, with the wide train of her gown trailing on the floor. It was a white gown that they had chosen specifically for their engagement. The snow-white color was supposed to symbolize their pure relationship.

Now, it was stained with dust, and no longer looked the same.

Eudora did not try to persuade her. She only quietly walked forwards and cuddled Naomi in her arms.

Any sort of consolation would be useless at the moment. On the contrary, a simple embrace would work.

Naomi was baffled for a second before she hugged Eudora back.

“Mom, I’m sorry.”

Eudora shook her head and said, “We’re a family. We’ll always be by your side!”

Naomi felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes started to tear up.

“Mom, I’ve brought disgrace upon our family. Valiant East is a well-known company in Rosaville City, and perhaps in the world too. With such a status, Dad has never been insulted like this before. There were so many reporters today. He…”

Eudora said, “Your father is not an ordinary man. If he can’t bear this, then there’s no one in the world who can do so.”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Naomi kept sobbing as she called out, “Mom…”

“It’s okay! You have to know that your father and I will never care about outsiders’ comments. We only care about you. You’re our precious daughter. If you feel bad, how can we be happy?”

Naomi cried even harder, but she still tried her best to wipe away her tears. She wanted to prove to Eudora that she was fine.

Eudora didn’t expose her façade, instead she just gently patted Naomi on the back.

In the end, Naomi failed to restrain her sorrow. She gave up on struggling against the tears and simply hugged Eudora.

“Mom, I’m sorry. I can’t hold myself together anymore! I’m devastated! How could he lie to me?!”

“I understand, so, I won’t try to coax you into forgetting this incident. For certain things, you will only lose yourself if you keep reminding yourself to forget it. On the contrary, when you live your life as usual, you will eventually move on one day, and then you’ll truly be over it!”

Naomi sniffed and asked, “Will there be such a day?”

“Yes, of course!”

Eudora nodded.

As they were talking, noise came from outside.

It sounded like the police had arrived.

Eudora looked at Naomi and asked, “Do you want to go out and take a look?”

Naomi closed her eyes, saying, “There’s no need for that! I don’t care about him anymore.”

…

After the police officers entered, they showed their badge before handcuffing Nelson. As for Richard, he attended the engagement ceremony too.

Naturally, Richard had attended the engagement ceremony as well. It was just that he had not been in a good mood, hence, he had gone out to the garden as the ceremony went on.

After he came back after hearing the noise, the whole situation had already escalated.
