Chapter 28

“Why did you bring me here?” Naomi sat up straight. She finally realized that something was off.

At that moment, Jack stopped in front of an apartment unit. He looked at her without any emotions on his

face.

“This is Grandpa’s demand. From today until your exams, we will be staying here.”

“Us?! Are you saying that I have to live with you?” Naomi‘s eyes widened in shock. She has lived for 20

years on this earth. She had never even been in a relationship, yet she had to live with him under the

same roof!

“Do you think I want to do it? Get out!”

Looking at how unhappy Naomi was, Jack furrowed his brows. He had gotten used to living as a

lone wolf. If it were not for Grandpa and to deal with the Quinns, he would not have stooped down and

lived

together with a woman!

“Can’t you just tell your grandfather that we‘re already living together? Why are you being so obedient?”

Naomi tried to persuade Jack. She sat firmly on the chair, not intending to move.

“It’s pointless. Look over there!” Naomi looked in the direction which Jack pointed at. There were a

few men in black across the road, standing there shiftily. They would sneak glances over from time to

time.

“They are Grandpa’s men. Grandpa

doesn’t really trust us. So….” Jack paused for a while before opening Naomi’s side of the door.

“Don‘t forget our deal. Get out of the car quickly.”

“But our deal doesn‘t involve physical contact!” Naomi struggled. She did not want to move.

Jack sized Naomi up and landed his gaze in the mid-chest area. He looked disgusted.

“You’ve barely passed puberty. I have no interest in you.”

Naomi looked at where he was looking. She lowered her head and looked at her own chest. She was

instantly infuriated.

She angrily puffed her chest, showing off her curvaceous figure.

“What sort of look is that? Can‘t you see how big they are?”

“How big?” Jack crossed his arms around his chest. He snickered and looked at Naomi teasingly.

“Thirty–six, okay!”

Naomi was so angry she jumped out of the car, wanting to argue with him. She never thought that once

she got out of the car, Jack clutched the back of her neck and led her into the building.

Darn it! She fell into his trap!

“Uh...you should at least let me go home to pack a suitcase, right?” Naomi suddenly found an excuse

amid the desperation.

“I got Sean to pack it for you already.”

“He doesn’t know me well. He would definitely miss something!”

“We’ll just buy it if anything is missing!”

“But…”

“No buts!”

Naomi could not do anything. She was like a little chick, being escorted upstairs by Jack.

With a squeaking sound, the door was opened. Naomi was baffled.

Were the Houghs not the wealthiest in Gin City? Why was the apartment so small? It was smaller than

her living area at home.

Naomi stood by the door, from which she could already view the entire apartment. The living area was

only a few square meters. A larger two-seater sofa would not be able to fit in there.

Naomi stiffly turned to look at Jack.

“Did Old Mister Hough make a mistake or something?”

Jack’s expressions were extremely ugly too. He immediately called Sean on the phone.

“What’s going on?”

“Uh… Sir, Old Mister Hough was the one that selected this

house. I don‘t dare to defy him at all! He also said…”

“What did he say?” The atmosphere surrounding Jack had started to drop.

“Old Mister Hough said that although the unit is quite small, it‘s extremely suitable for a newly–

wed couple to foster relationships…”

Before Sean could finish talking, Jack hung up with a darkened

expression. It was silent for a few minutes.

Naomi tentatively asked, “Is there any way to make changes?”

“Let’s head in and have a look,” Jack said with a resigned tone. He entered the unit first.

Naomi could only follow suit. Then, they realized a much more serious problem! The unit only has one

bedroom with one bed!
