Amos was carrying Eudora on his back. The two of them looked as though they did not have two children at all and instead, looked more like lovers madly in love.
He looked at Cindy and Naomi next to him, and it was obvious that they were already used to everything they saw in front of them.
He finally understood why Cindy said that Amos and Eudora were ranked number one in the Grangerâs household!
They were really affectionate!
Just as he was thinking about it, Amos and Eudora entered the house.
Amos did not feel awkward after being seen by the others. He carried Eudora to the door, put her down and turned to look at her.
It was only after meeting Amosâs gaze that Nelson finally came to his senses.
âI still have something to do, so Iâll go back first!â
Amos didnât say anything and nodded at Nelson. At the very least, that was considered a response unlike before!
Meanwhile, Eudora was as kind as ever. She smiled and nodded at Nelson, giving him a kind reminder as he walked out.
âBe careful when on the road!â
Naomiâs face was filled with contentment as she hurried behind Nelson, smiling all the way, âIâll see you out!â
As the two of them walked out, Eudora wrapped her finger around Amosâ finger and smiled, asking, âIsnât this good?â
It was probably the first time the four of them had spoken so openly and comfortably ever since Nelson and Naomiâs relationship was confirmed. The atmosphere definitely warmed up compared to before.
After Cindy finished preparing dinner, Naomi slowly entered after sending Nelson home.
âDad, Mom, Iâm sorry.â
Eudora glanced at Amos and noticed his ever-serious expression. However, he looked slightly awkward this time round.
Indeed, he looked slightly uncomfortable and fidgety.
Eudora reached out and pulled Naomi over, comforting her, âWeâre all family, so why are you apologizing? Letâs eat!â
Naomi took the opportunity to garner her motherâs affection and laughed, âThank you, mommy! Youâre the best!â
âThen what about your dad?â Eudora laughed, âIf youâre like this, your dad will be sad!â
Amos shook his head and denied everything, âIâm not sad! Itâs fine as long as youâre happy with me!â
Naomi was confused.
Why were her parents suddenly acting so affectionate?
â¦
After they ate, they went back to their respective rooms to rest.
The lighthearted days passed quickly. During the weekends, Naomi received a notice from the wedding planner.
âMiss George, weâve finished planning the itinerary with regards to the wedding celebration you previously inquired about. If you have the time, please come and have a look!â
Naomi got up from bed and pulled the curtains open.
The weather today was not very good, but it could not stop her enthusiasm. Apparently, not even bad weather could stop someone from being in a good mood.
When she went downstairs, Eudora and Amos were also there.
Breakfast was served. Eudora called out to her, âHave breakfast before you leave!â
Naomi casually picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth.
âIâm leaving!â
âWhat a hurry!â Eudora sighed as she shrugged, âPeople who are in love really do act like that!â
Naomi stopped in her tracks as she suddenly thought about something. She totally forget to tell her parents her plans of marrying Nelson!
She did not say anything about it before because she was afraid that her parents would be worried and would not agree to it.
But now, things were different!
Now that her parents had agreed to their relationship, she would be too insensible to keep her plans of marriage a secret from them.
Naomi was about to say something when her mobile phone rang.
She took it out and found that it was from Nelson, who said, âIâm already at your house!â
âIâll be right there!â Naomi was elated. She decided to tell them when she returned home later that night!
With that in mind, she grabbed another two eggs and ran out the door.
When she went out, she saw Nelson standing by his car, waiting for her patiently.
Naomi was not sure if it was because of the good weather, or if Nelson was dressed smartly.
He looked extremely handsome today!
He had a dark-coloured suit on. Although it wasnât particularly fashionable, it looked very fitting on him, highlighting his charms very well.
When he saw her, Nelsonâs lips curled into a smile.
Inexplicably, he captivated Naomi, making her heart skip a beat!
âHave you had breakfast?â
He stared at the two eggs in Naomiâs hand and frowned. Naomi shook her head and explained, âIâve eaten! This is for you!â
Nelson chuckled, âItâs fine, you should eat it!â
âOne each!â
As Naomi spoke, she helped him peel off the eggshells, âThis is the first time Iâve helped someone peel their eggs! Youâd better eat it, or else Iâll be mad at you.â
âOf course Iâll eat it! If not, Iâm pretty sure that youâll punish me in the future!â
âWell, thatâs smart of you!â
However, Naomi looked up the next second and noticed the cunning smile on Nelsonâs lips. She was stunned.
âAre you saying that Iâm as fierce as a lioness?â
Nelson then burst into laughter, âI didnât say anything like that. You said so yourself!â
âHey, you hinted at it!â
Naomi snorted and put her hands on her waist.
âI donât care. If you say that Iâm a lioness, then I am one! Iâm going to be the only lioness that can control you!â
âFine, Iâm willing to be controlled by you after all!â
â¦
It was only until Naomi spoke to the person in charge of the wedding that despite Nelsonâs silence, he had in truth arranged for a lot of changes in private.
Initially, she assumed that everyone preferred dreamy weddings.
However, Nelson had changed the whole theme of the wedding into the punk-like style that she liked!
Naomi was moved, but at the same time, she was a little worried.
âNormal weddings are usually very happy and festive. Will we be frowned upon if we made ours too punk rock?â
Upon hearing this, Nelson frowned.
âIs it because I did not give you a proper sense of security? Why are you worried about such unnecessary things?â
Naomi was stunned as she tried to explain, âWhat? Thatâs not what I meantâ¦â
âDonât think too much. This is our wedding, thereâs no need to please others. Your happiness is the most important factor to me. Iâve told you last time that I will protect you from now on. You found solace and fearlessness living with the Granger family. I hope that youâll be the same when you are with me in the future!â
Naomi nodded and smiled, âOkay!â
She felt that she had finally found a good man like her father. At this moment, she was very content!
As they were discussing things over, Naomiâs mobile phone rang again.
She picked it up in a hurry and heard the delighted voice of her colleague.
âMiss Naomi, Emma is awake!â
Emma was the colleague who was injured on the construction site and had been in a coma ever since. The issues surrounding the accident had been swiftly dealt with by Amos.
However, it had not been properly resolved.
Now that Emma was awake, it was a great thing.
Naomi could not help but be overjoyed. She said excitedly, âIâll go and visit her right away!â
After she hung up the phone, Nelson asked curiously, âWhat happened?â
âEmma is finally awake, so Iâll head to the hospital now. If youâre busy, you donât have to accompany me! I can go by myself!â
âI think itâs better if I went with you!â Nelson said hurriedly.
In truth, he was more worried now. If Emma woke up, would she⦠tell Naomi about Frida?
Would Naomi hate him?
