One Night Stand With That Beggar

Before Naomi could ask more, Benedict had already started the car.

Naomi silently looked down at the box in her hand. It seemed like a necklace. She felt reluctant to put it on and didn’t want anything to happen to it, hence she kept it inside its small box.

“Let me drive!” Naomi said.

Benedict shook his head and said, “No need! I can drive. I got my driving license not long ago!”

Since Naomi had mentioned that he was a little kid, he had been trying hard recently to make himself come off as more of an adult.

The first thing he did was to obtain his driving license.

To his dismay, he found out that her feelings for him would not change regardless of whether he was an adult or a child. At the end of the day, she didn’t harbor feelings for him.

Naomi nodded, and then she seemed to think of something.

“Benedict, please do me a favor. When we get back on the mountain, don’t tell anyone that we met Nelson.”

Benedict pursed his lips while replying, “Why should I help you?”

He was filled with anger. For a moment, he was consumed by jealousy and wanted to apprise Eudora and Amos of what had happened. Naturally, his tone hardened when speaking to her.

Seeing his reaction, Naomi lowered her head again.

“Forget it!”

When Benedict saw how downcast she was, he regained his composure.

“I won’t tell them!”

“Thank you, Benedict!” Naomi said.

He gave a wry smile and drove with peace of mind.

…

Naomi and Benedict managed to come back in time with the ingredients. After Tina’s previous mishap, all of them didn’t dare to let anyone cook. As a result, they set up a dining table in the courtyard to cook and serve themselves.

After having dinner, everyone was ready to watch the meteor shower.

Amos had already located the best viewing spot in the afternoon. All sorts of devices, including the telescope, had been set up as well!

Naomi went along with them for a bit. However, she had never been interested in astronomy.

In addition, she realized that all the people who were watching were all couples.

Benedict, on the other hand, was quite interested. Naomi simply observed the sky for a few seconds before she passed the telescope to Benedict.

It was a little cold on the mountain, so she put her hands into the pockets of her trousers.

She felt something cold and remembered the box that Nelson had given her in the afternoon. She took it out, turned and walked into the woods.

She laid in the hammock again and took out the item from the box.

In the moonlight, she saw a necklace in the box. It was quite simple, seemingly nothing of important value. However, Naomi liked the small wings on it.

It was like an angel.

Someone behind her asked in a low voice, “Do you like it?”

Naomi was elated. Recognizing the person’s voice, she was already squealing with delight before she turned her head.

“Nelson, you’re here?!”

Nelson smiled and said, “I came here by following your car. Since you said that you wanted to watch the meteor shower together, I came to keep you company.”

“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?” Naomi complained, although she secretly was overjoyed.

“You look even cuter now. I like to see your surprised reaction.”

He took the necklace from Naomi and said, “I’ll help you put it on.”

Naomi turned around very obediently.

He praised her, “Beautiful!”

Naomi blushed and said, “You’re the one who bought it, so of course it looks nice to you.”

Upon hearing her words, Nelson burst into laughter.

“Silly girl!”

Naomi frowned and said, “What?”

“I’m referring to you. I’m calling you beautiful, not the necklace.”

Only then did Naomi realize that she had said something wrong. She instantly felt a little embarrassed.

“I…”

“It’s okay, you’re mine after all.”

After that, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. In the dark night, the two of them were standing close to each, looking like a scene in a movie.

…

Benedict looked at the stars for a while, and finally saw the first meteoroid. He couldn’t help but shout happily, wanting to share the moment with Naomi, who was standing behind him.

“It’s here!”

However, no response came from behind him at all. When he turned back and looked around, there was no one behind him. He became downcast in an instant, therefore he came out of the cabin to look for Naomi. Unexpectedly, he happened to run into Nelson kissing Naomi.

The scene was a heart wrenching moment for him. He instantaneously left the place.

Eudora and Amos had just finished watching the first round of meteor shower. The moment they turned around, they saw Benedict walking back with a sullen expression on his face.

She thought that Naomi had quarreled with Benedict again, so she found an excuse to leave and reprove Naomi.

When Eudora arrived at the woods, Nelson and Naomi were already sitting in the hammock as they looked at the stars together.

Hearing footsteps, Naomi looked back and noticed Eudora. She became nervous right away.

“Mom, why are you here?”

Eudora asked in reply, “Nelson? Why are you here?”

Nelson quickly explained, “Madam, I came on my own. My arrival has nothing to do with Naomi!”

The first thing he did was to spare Naomi the trouble of facing her parents’ punishment. Eudora’s impressions of him grew better.

“Although Naomi didn’t bring you here, this is our private land. We have no idea that you are here. It’s not good if everyone finds out about you. You’d better go back as soon as possible!”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He got up and said, “Okay, I’ll take my leave now!”

Although Naomi was a little reluctant to part with him, she decided not to pick an argument with Eudora at the moment.

After Nelson left, Eudora turned to look at Naomi, who had been silent the entire time.

“What? Are you angry with me, your own mother?”

Naomi was still a little depressed.

“I don’t dare to do so.”

“Don’t you dare lie to me! Indignation is written all over your face. It’s not that I hate him, but it’s because your father has a bad impression of him. We’re celebrating Thanksgiving now, and I don’t want to bother Amos.”

Naomi was filled with resentment all of a sudden.

“If you and Dad love each other, then why can’t you allow Nelson and I to love each other? What’s wrong with Nelson? Why don’t you like him? I’ll be living my own life in the future and you can’t accompany me forever. You don’t like him, so you don’t want me to be with him. Didn’t Grandpa dislike Dad in the past? Were you obedient and listened to Grandpa back then?”

Eudora was hurt by Naomi’s words. She said with a heavy heart, “Naomi, you’ve gone too far!”

Naomi took a deep breath and said, “Forget it! I’m going back.”

Eudora wanted to say something. However, before she could do so, they heard a groan come from the woods in front of them.

Naomi stopped in her tracks and yelled, “Nelson!”

She rushed over hastily.

Seeing this, Eudora also caught up to her in a hurry.

When they arrived on the scene, the moon above their heads just got covered by the clouds. It became quite dark.

Naomi shouted with a trembling voice, “Nelson!”

No one responded. Eudora pulled Naomi from behind and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll go back and inform your father first, and then we’ll come back with more people. This is our territory, so nothing will happen here!”

Naomi shook her head and said, “I don’t want to go back. I want to find him! Nelson!”

Eudora sighed and said, “Then, I’ll accompany you to look for him.”

As soon as their voices died away, a black shadow flashed past Naomi’s back out of the blue. Eudora happened to be behind her, and she saw the shadow in the moonlight.

Seeing that the shadow was about to hit Naomi, she grabbed Naomi and turned around.
