Chapter 968: Chapter 968 Grasp It

Naomi looked at Nelson, still a bit worried for him.

Truth be told, she was not worried about Nelson’s cooking skills not being up to par. If he could not cook well, then so be it!

She was just concerned that Amos’ trial was to prevent them from being together.

After all, Amos did not have a good impression of Nelson!

Although she was worried, no one could dissuade her father’s decision, no one except for her mother, Eudora!

However, the look on Eudora’s face was obvious that she too, had agreed to it!

Nelson suddenly reached out and patted her on her shoulder, and whispered to her in a low voice.

He whispered to her in a low voice, “It’s okay, I can do it!”

His husky and magnetic voice was inexplicably convincing, making her worried heart instantly ease a little.

After that, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

The quiet living room soon became lively again. Harley called Amos and Christopher.

Harley beckoned Amos and Christopher, “Come on, let’s have another round!”

Naomi stood there in a daze for a while before walking to the kitchen to take a look.

Amos, who was behind her, called out to her, “Don’t show your emotions. Don’t let others know what you’re thinking about. It seems that you have forgotten everything I’ve taught you!”

Naomi stopped again.

“I’m sorry, Dad! I’ll remember your lesson from now on!”

…

About an hour later, Nelson started serving some dishes.

One plate after another was placed on the table. The weight on Naomi’s heart lifted and she finally felt at ease.

As the dishes were served, it was almost time to start lunch.

Tina looked at the dishes and could not help but praise them, “These dishes look really good!”

Nelson came out from behind, the apron still on his body.

“Thank you for your compliment. I’m just doing what I should!”

As he spoke, Cindy came in with a bunch of flowers in her hands.

“Miss Naomi, someone sent this just now. It’s for you!”

Naomi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Nelson. Nelson’s heart tightened, but his expression was still calm and no changes could be seen from his expression.

A card with familiar words on it was attached, “Naomi, from today onwards, I will pursue you! Have a great day!”

The card was from Benedict!

Naomi frowned as she thought that she had made things very clear to him. However, Benedict still was reluctant to give up.

“Naomi, what’s wrong?” Eudora called her.

Only then did Naomi snap back to reality. She replied, “Nothing. I’m going to put the flowers away. You guys can eat first!”

…

It was undeniable that the dishes cooked by Nelson were really good.

Tina was someone who was incapable of hiding her emotions. Most importantly, she herself had no idea how to cook, therefore, she liked people who were good at cooking a lot.

“I didn’t expect you to be so good at cooking at such a young age. Did you find someone to teach you?”

Nelson shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t. It’s just that I’ve been travelling around for so many years since I was young. Naturally, I’d think of ways when I’m hungry…”

His words made Eudora pause for a moment.

The fact that Vincent had wandered outside when he was a child had always been a sensitive topic that the Granger family did not dare to mention.

Although Vincent had hurt her in the past, he had been young back then. In addition, he had been manipulated and used by other people to do so, so none of that was his fault.

Eudora had failed to take the matter to heart.

Later on, when they had wanted to help Vincent, they were being sincere about it.

However, she had not expected that he had been left to wander around yet again due to some discrepancies in their plan. Furthermore, his departure had caused Naomi to suffer from guilt for so many years.

Eudora herself did not feel good about the incident either.

Nelson realized that his words were slightly inappropriate for the mood.

Therefore, he deliberately added, “However, it’s all in the past. It’s no longer worth mentioning!”

Eudora could not help but glance at Amos, her appetite lost.

After she found an excuse, Eudora sat down on the swings. Due to the fact that Amos had suffered a lot when he was a child, upon seeing Nelson in such a state now, she could not help but think of the many things that had happened to Amos when he was a child.

She felt upset upon thinking of the matter.

With a sigh, someone behind her put his arm around her shoulder.

“Are you thinking about the past again?”

Eudora hurriedly shook her head and said, “No, I’m just feeling a little full!”

Amos smiled faintly and said, “You always eat for half an hour every day. Every day, you’ll have some salad and soup, a glass of juice, as well as two portions of vegetables and meat. Just now, you only ate for five minutes, so it’s impossible that you already feel full!”

Eudora was dumbfounded.

It really was hard for her to lie when she had a husband at home who knew every aspect of her in detail.

“I just thought of the past a little! Nelson has indeed suffered a lot. If there’s really no problem with the results of the investigation, shouldn’t we approve of their relationship?”

Amos frowned as he said, “Let’s wait and see! It’s not so easy for someone to marry my daughter!”

Eudora retorted with a huff, “Are you trying to keep our daughter with us forever, or are you reluctant to let her go?”

Amos turned his head away while saying, “Of course I’m not reluctant…”

“Is that so? A few days ago, I saw you secretly looking at your daughter’s childhood photo, hmm?”

Amos said, “I just saw that they were dirty so I took them out to clean them!”

Eudora did not believe him one bit. Their house was cleaned by Cindy every day. It was impossible for the albums to get dirty just like how Amos had mentioned.

However, she did not want to expose him!

…

In the evening, Naomi went out to see Nelson off.

Due to the fact that they were still at the gates of the Granger Mansion, they both walked in silence.

In the end, it was Nelson who broke the silence. He asked, “How was my performance today?”

Naomi nodded and said, “You did good. My parents didn’t say anything, which means that you were excellent!”

“That’s good!” Nelson looked relieved, which surprised Naomi. Thus, she asked, “Why? Were you nervous?”

“Of course I was!” Nelson sighed. “This is the first time that I needed to prove myself in front of so many people. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating!”

Naomi suddenly realized that Nelson had also come to the lunch full of enthusiasm.

“I thought a president like you wouldn’t be nervous!”

Nelson chuckled and asked, “What about your father? Wouldn’t he be nervous either?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “I don’t think he would be nervous when he’s at work! However, whenever it comes to Mom, I think he’ll be nervous too!”

“Exactly!”

“Eh?” Naomi failed to react in time to his exclamation.

In the next instant, Nelson reached out to hold her hand.

“In my heart, you’re in the same position as your mother is in your father’s! Of course I was nervous to prove my abilities to your family.”

She felt a throb in her heart, and a warm feeling spread in her heart.

Since she was young, she had always envied her parents’ relationship. It was something she had never seen before. It could be said that they were the perfect couple! However, sometimes they would also argue with each other.

Could they be considered an ordinary couple? However, they were so passionate…

Never had she expected that there would be such a day that someone would tell her that they treated her like how Amos treated Eudora.

Naomi felt that this happiness or joy had come into her life all too suddenly, and all she wanted to do was to grasp onto it with her full power.
