Chapter 36

“Mister Daddy, who would have thought you’re buff!”

Naomi changed her posture so that she could ogle at the handsome man.

“Have you had enough?” Jack looked down condescendingly. He swept Naomi a cold glance. However,

he smiled a little, betraying his true emotions.

“Of course, not. I heard that looking at a handsome man will extend one‘s life,” Naomi replied. She was

being a rascal,

However, the next second, Jack threw his towel at her, covering her face!

“Get up, quickly. We have to visit the old man today.”

“Oh.” Naomi’s good intentions were not reciprocated, She kissed the wrong ass!

Naomi pulled the towel off her face, but that made her waist hurt. She gasped in pain,

If she were to continue sleeping on the sofa, her bones would break sooner or later.

Naomi rolled her eyes and behaved coquettishly in front of Jack.

“Mister Daddy, the sofa is too hard to sleep on. Look, I have bruises everywhere. Can we discuss taking

turns sleeping on the bed, please?”

Jack

smiled. The smile softened his cold and hardened features. The sunlight shone on his face as if he was

the personification of spring.

Hope soared in Naomi‘s heart, then she heard him slowly spit two words out, “Dream on.”

“Hmm! Stingy man! I‘m busy today! I won‘t follow you to see Grandpa!” Naomi crossed her arms

and comically sat on the sofa.

“If you go, I‘ll consider it.”

“Deal!” Naomi was afraid that Jack would renege on his word, so she instantly agreed to it right after wha

t he said. However, she missed the trap in his words…

It was the weekend that day. After breakfast, they headed directly to the hospital.

Coming out of the parking lot, Jack looked at Naomi.

“You head over first. I have something to deal with.” Then, he headed to the second floor.

Naomi

guessed that he must have gone to look for the doctor to understand Old Mister Hough‘s condition better.

Naomi did not think much about it and headed directly into the elevator.

When she was by the door of Old Mister Hough‘s ward, she heard laughter from inside.

Among the voices, she was extremely familiar with two of

them. Sigh, enemies inevitably meet! Why were Clarissa and Lilian there?

Naomi was curious. Then, she suddenly heard a low foreign female voice.

She was just about to press her ears forward to have a listen, but she did not know the door was

automated. The door immediately opened when she touched it.

Squeak!

The three women in the room looked at her in unison. Besides Lilian and Clarissa, there was another

graceful and dignified-looking middle-aged woman.

Naomi instantly noticed that her clothes were expensive. There was an air of seriousness on her face.

She was clearly another powerful figure.

“My, Naomi, why are you only here now to visit Old Mister Hough?” Lilian immediately put on the act of

a loving and benevolent mother, yet her first sentence to Naomi was to embarrass her.

“Look at you! Don’t you know to bring a gift when you come?”

Naomi sneered in her heart. Lilian’s tactic was great. Within a few sentences, Lilian could tarnish

Naomi’s image. Before Naomi could enter or say anything, Madam Hough had already furrowed her

brows.

Her authoritative eyes were filled with condescension and contempt. She had a displeased expression.

“You‘re Naomi Green? The person my son is marrying?”

“Yes, that’s me.” Naomi blinked. Turns out this woman was Jack’s mother. No wonder they looked alike.

They were equally cold! Was she already playing the evil mother–in–law act so early in the morning?
