One Night Stand With That Beggar

After looking at the building, Naomi took out her mobile phone to take photos, and then she edited them while walking.

She was afraid that she would forget her ideas after a while, so she did it right away. This way she could directly send them to the designer afterwards.

She was focusing on her phone that she did not notice the existence of a stone beside her, therefore she stumbled and fell towards the ground.

Fortunately, Nelson extended his long arms and pulled her into his embrace.

Naomi’s nose bumped onto Nelson’s shirt. Blood came gushing out of her nose, staining his shirt red.

“I’m sorry,” Naomi apologized before she could even pinch her nose.

The next second, Nelson reached out his hand and helped her.

“Why are you so careless? Has your nose been hurt before?” As he said that, he took out the handkerchief from his pocket and said, “Use this.”

Naomi smiled and shook her head. She replied, “I’m fine.”

In fact, what she said was true. She had been practicing self defense since she was a child. Although her parents and Master Clarke were incredibly kind to her and had always taken good care of her, she still couldn’t avoid getting injured. As the saying goes, if you play with fire, you get burned.

It was normal for one to be wounded or bruised when practicing self defense.

Her nose had gotten injured when she had fallen down from a tree during her practice. At that time, she had gotten a nasal fracture and recovered after the operation.

However, as a result, her nose had become susceptible to injury since then.

Nelson furrowed his brow tightly. He tugged at her arm sternly and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be okay when you’re bleeding? Come, follow me to the hospital!”

Looking at his fierce face, she felt warmth in her heart.

Staring intently at his face, she failed to come to her senses for some time.

Under her intense staring, Nelson frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “No, I just feel that you resemble a person.”

Nelson was astonished. He clenched his fists and asked, “Who is it?”

Naomi raised her head and said, “My childhood playmate! At that time, we used to live under the same roof. His eyes were really similar to yours. It’s just that his personality isn’t like yours. He’s more timid and obedient. Whenever he did something wrong by accident, he would be very afraid and hide somewhere to cry alone secretly!”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The corner of Nelson’s mouth twitched as he looked coldly at Naomi.

“If he knows you’re talking about him like that, I don’t think he’ll think too well about you.”

Naomi smiled and said, “No, he won’t. He’s friendly and doesn’t like to argue with others. He’s quite the pushover.”

Naomi added a line in her heart, “I really miss him!”

Nelson smirked and asked, “Where is he now?”

“He…” Naomi paused for a while and switched to a new topic of conversation. She said, “Didn’t you say we should go to the hospital? Let’s go!”

Nelson followed her again. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor helped her to stop the bleeding and prescribed some medicine for her.

Nelson got the medicine and handed them to Naomi while saying, “Take one of these every morning, while these are for the afternoon and evening respectively. Take it every eight hours, one pill each time. Be careful not to take it wrongly!”

Naomi nodded and said, “I’ll go back first. Regarding the project, I’ll ask someone to contact you later after I finish editing it!”

Nelson stopped her again and said, “Let me give you a ride! I can’t allow you to go back alone in this way.”

He spoke casually as if he did not know that such concern towards a girl was a little suspicious.

Before Naomi could reply, he had already pushed her into the car and closed the door.

Naomi remained silent along the way. Truth be told, she was quite confused. She had always been an incredibly rational person since her father told her that they should always keep their rationality at all times.

She had been able to do so before, but in the past few days, she felt that she was getting more and more irrational.

Nelson was in a befuddled state just like Naomi. However, it was not because of the ambiguous relationship between him and Naomi, but because that Naomi had mentioned Vincent.

It turned out that to her, he used to be that kind of person.

Recalling everything that had happened in the past, he smiled bitterly. Originally, he had been still a bit hesitant, but now, he despised himself for being too soft-hearted.

He thought to himself, “How could there be any good people in the Granger family? If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have suffered so much. Now, it’s time for them to pay their debts back!”

“Stop the car!”

Naomi suddenly opened her mouth, interrupting Nelson’s thoughts.

He regained his composure and looked at Naomi.

He asked, “What’s wrong?”

Naomi said, “I-I’ve arrived! You don’t have to go further.”

Nelson took a look at the buildings around them. Although he had not returned for many years, he still remembered the route to Clearwater Bay, and they were nowhere near there.

Looking at those low-rise buildings, Nelson gave a sardonic smile. After that, he turned around to face Naomi.

After that, he turned around to face Naomi, “Is this your home?”

“Er… yes!” Naomi nodded. She did not want her parents to know about her matters. Her parents were still in a bad mood since Sugar Bun had just left, so she was reluctant to cause any other troubles.

“Alright!” Nelson opened the car door and helped her with her things.

“I’ll walk you in!”

Naomi hurriedly shook her head and replied, “There’s no need for that, I can go in by myself! Thank you for sending me back!”

After saying that, she waved her hand at him.

Nelson smiled and pulled her back before pressing her against the car door.

Naomi was taken aback. As she met his eyes, she instantly felt her breaths growing heavy.

After all, she was still an inexperienced little girl. Although she was usually calm and collected in everyday life, she was still as shy as a maiden when it came to relationships.

Naomi disliked herself for acting this way. Thus, she took a deep breath and tried her best to stay calm.

“What’s wrong? Is there another bug on my hair?”

Nelson nodded and picked up a bug off her shoulder.

“There’s nothing there now. It seems that what I said last time was right. You’re so beautiful that even bugs are attracted to you.”

Naomi breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you. I’ll go first!”

After that, she stood up and walked back.

Nelson’s gaze fell on the villa on the mountain after she had walked far away.

“I’ve finally returned. You Grangers better get ready to face my wrath!”

…

When Naomi arrived home, she heard Amos talking in the room as soon as she entered the house.

“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers, let him go…”

“Little miss Muffet she sat on her tuffet, eating her curds eating and whey…”

“The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout, down came the rain…”

The strange atmosphere in the room stunned her as she had no idea what her father was doing.

Naomi warily walked in. Seeing her enter, Amos, who had been dancing in front of Eudora, quickly stopped moving and lightly coughed once.

“Have you finished your job?”

Naomi nodded and greeted, “Dad, Mom!”

Eudora paid him no attention, instead, she looked at Amos and said, “I want to see more.”

As a result, Amos continued his performance.

Naomi was completely flummoxed by them. She turned to ask Cindy, “Auntie Cindy, what are they…”

Cindy couldn’t help laughing as she replied, “It’s Mr. Granger. He blocked multiple applications in Mrs. Granger’s mobile phone. She was in a bad mood today and wanted to watch some videos. Now that she can’t access the applications any more, Mr. Granger decided to perform some songs live for her!”

Naomi was so amused that she almost burst into laughter.

Amos had brought it upon himself!
