Chapter 959: Chapter 959 Rival in Love

“Let’s go in!” Amos shrugged indifferently. He knew very well what he was supposed to do.

Meanwhile, Naomi assumed that her father had decided to turn a blind eye. She quickly heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “Thank you, Dad!”

“Don’t thank me too early. It’s not easy to woo my daughter. Tell him to show some sincerity, or your mother and I will never approve of him!”

Then, Amos took another look at Naomi’s high heels.

“Look, the skin of your heels have peeled off! Have Cindy prepare some ointment for you once you’ve gone in. The daughter of the Granger family has no need to go to these lengths just to make someone happy. Next time, you’re not allowed to wear something like this!”

“Okay!” Naomi nodded. She then threw a childish and cute gesture at her father..

“Dad, you’re so nice!”

Amos was immediately serious as he said, “Don’t try to act cute in front of me! That’s exclusively for your mother!”

Naomi was rendered speechless.

How did it feel having parents who were constantly lovey-dovey around the house, at all times?

Anyhow, she had grown accustomed to it.

…

After she came back, Eudora was in no mood to enjoy some television. Instead, she had been sitting on the sofa absent-mindedly. When she saw Amos coming in, she quickly came to her senses and asked in a hurry.

“Why did you take so long? What did you say to her?”

Amos saw the expectant look in her eyes, but he acted like he wasn’t aware and said casually.

“Aren’t you watching television? Let’s watch it together!”

He picked up the remote control as he was speaking.

Eudora quickly stopped him and asked, “You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? Stop acting dumb! Have you scolded her? Let me go check up on her…”

She was about to stand up when Amos grabbed hold of her arm.

“Why don’t you admit that you were in cahoots with Naomi to trick me first”

Eudora was dumbfounded.

She had once again been tricked.

She chuckled sheepishly, “Honey, you’re really smart.”

Amos cast a listless glance at her and said, “I am the closest to you in this world. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to conspire or stand against me, even if it’s for the sake of our children!”

Wait. Was he jealous?

Eudora could only sigh in desperation, “Oh fine, I got it! You didn’t scold her, did you? What happened to her and Nelson after they went out?”

“Nothing. They just had a meal together. By the way, she caught a thief in her dress!”

Eudora burst into laughter, “As expected of my daughter, she’s much stronger than me.”

Amos shook his head immediately and refuted, “Of course not! To me, you are always the best!”

A thought flashed through Eudora’s mind as she smirked, “Oh fine. I’ll go fill up the bath for you!”

“Let’s go together!” Amos chuckled.

…

The next day, as soon as Naomi arrived at the company, she saw a box of ointment on her desk.

She was mystified, only to hear her neighbouring colleague say, “The receptionist said that it was sent by a man this morning, so I grabbed it for you on my way up! What’s going on? Why do you need this tube of ointment?”

Naomi replied, “I wore some high heels yesterday and scraped my heels. It’s no big deal though!”

Her colleague instantly let out a cry of surprise.

“Oh my god! It seems that you are making great progress with your love life. This ointment must have been sent by Mr. Luther. At this rate, you two will have a wedding ceremony in a few months. I have heard that the weddings of rich people are very sumptuous and luxurious. Missy, you must invite me to your wedding in the future!”

Naomi shrugged helplessly, “You are thinking too much!”

“I don’t care. Anyways, you have to send me an invitation for your wedding when you get married.”

Naomi nodded in agreement, “Alright, I will definitely invite you!”

After they finished speaking, Naomi took a careful look at the ointment. She thought that perhaps Nelson had gotten up early to choose the ointment for her. She was delighted at the thought of that.

She picked up her phone and sent him a message that said, “Thank you for your ointment! My feet are much better now!”

…

At the same time, Nelson had his head buried in his palms. He laid back into his seat, feeling much exhausted.

Last night, after going back, he had spent a long time trying to calm Tiffany down. She was always a grumpy person, and after staying in prison for a few years, she had become quick-tempered.

He didn’t know what she had overheard, but she kept requesting to come back.

He tried so hard to dissuade her from coming back. Finally, she was dissuaded and gave in, deciding not to come back for the time being.

Before he had time to rest, he found that it was already dawn and he had to get up for work!

Although the Inchee Group had been developing very well in recent years, he still didn’t dare to relax. After washing up, he headed straight to the company!

As soon as he was done with the day’s essential projects, he was about to rest when he heard his phone ringing.

He looked over at the text message that had popped up on the screen.

“Thank you for your ointment…”

What ointment?

He frowned. Soon, he saw Naomi’s next sentence stating that her feet were much better!

Didn’t that mean her feet were injured the night before?

With that in mind, he dialed a number right away.

Once the call went through, he quickly asked, “Are your feet still in pain?”

There was a moment of silence before a slightly excited voice could be heard, “M-Mr. Luther, please wait a minute. Naomi just left her seat! Missy, there’s a call for you!”

Nelson took the opportunity to calm himself down in the meantime.

When he heard Naomi’s voice, he spoke again, this time sounding much more calm and composed.

“Hey, I just saw your message. Your feet…”

“They are feeling so much better! After all, I just scraped the skin of my heels a little bit.”

Nelson pursed his lips before saying, “That’s assuring! Don’t wear high heels next time! You look good in anything you wear.”

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t he sweet?

She blushed and answered, “Alright, I won’t!”

“I still have some work to do. I’ll contact you later!”

Then, she hung up the phone.

Her colleague, who had picked up the call for her when she was away just now, imitated Nelson’s tone and asked her playfully, “Are your feet still in pain?”

Naomi was embarrassed.

Then, she clenched her fist and waved it angrily at her colleague. She warned, “Keep talking and you will know the consequences!”

Her colleague instantaneously ran away, but not before shouting at her from a distance, “Oh my god, Mr. Luther is so sweet!”

…

After Nelson hung up the phone, he couldn’t help but feel concerned over the unknown tube of ointment and called Richard.

“Go find out who else Naomi met after we went our separate ways last night.”

Richard was perplexed and asked, “What does this have to do with our plan?”

Nelson furrowed his brow and snapped, “What do you think?”

“It doesn’t?” Richard asked again carefully.

“Are you going to help me or not?”

Richard shrugged and sighed, “Fine, give me a while. Why do you have to be so fierce?”

Nelson didn’t know what to say.

However, he couldn’t help but frown at the sight of Richard’s back. Did this really have anything to do with his plan?

Richard acted swiftly, and soon managed to obtain the information needed.

“Last night, Miss George left in a car and went to Foodie Street. She had supper with a man…”

“Who was it?” Nelson blurted out.

Richard raised an eyebrow and smirked, “Mr. Luther, don’t tell me. Are you feeling anxious?”

Nelson clenched his fist and warned Richard, “You’d better watch your mouth! If you don’t want to help me, you can return overseas. Many new construction projects over there are also in urgent need of you!”

Richard was at a loss for words.

“Can’t you be nicer to me? Well, he was the man we met at the exhibition previously. To be more precise, he’s more of a teenager rather than a man!”
