My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 960

"Benedict Louis?"

Nelson tapped on the table with his fingers. Then, he asked, "Does he hang out with Naomi

frequently?"

Richard replied, "I think they do meet up quite often! I noticed that you were very concerned about it, so

I took some time to look into it thoroughly for you."

Nelson shot Richard a disdainful look. Then, Richard continued.

"Benedict is the eldest son of Amos's good friend, Harley Louis. He has been on good terms with

Naomi since he was young. It's said that the two families once thought about getting engaged, but I'm

unsure of why they didn't go through with it. However, my intel shows that Benedict has been extremely

clingy with Naomi since they were both still very young. Whenever he is ill, he needs her by his side to

get better."

After Richard finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

"This sounds a bit unbelievable!"

Nelson frowned, "He must have ulterior motives!"

"I'm not sure about that, but I think you might have a rival in love now!"

Nelson pursed his lips and grumbled, "I don't think a brat like him can be my rival in love..."

Just then, he saw the playful expression on Richard's face before he could finish his sentence. Hence,

he rolled his eyes at him.

"It seems that you really want to be transferred back to..."

"No, I was just kidding! You don't have a rival in love, it's just for our goal! Yes, it's for our goal! So, how

are you going to deal with this rival in love for the sake of our goal?"

Richard deliberately emphasized the word "goal" so Nelson couldn't berate him.

Nelson was annoyed but soon spoke again.

"If I'm not wrong, he should be a high school student?"

Richard shook his head while replying, "Nope! He is very hardworking and smart. He managed to skip

grades and complete all necessary education two years back. It is also said that he was accepted to

Oxford University. However, due to his health, he is now a second-year sophomore in Rosaville City

University." "Rosaville City University?" Nelson suddenly recalled something and he asked, "We

received an invitation from that university a few days ago, didn't we? They invited me to give a talk

regarding architecture and design, am I right?"

Richard nodded in agreement, "Yes, you're right. Didn't you say that you're not interested? I've asked

someone to reject it for you."

"No! I'm suddenly interested in it now! Have the secretary contact them and inform them I'll arrive on

time!"

Richard frowned, his brows furrowing in confusion. This time, his expression was serious as he

advised, "Mr. Luther, please forgive me for nagging you. Although we usually joke around, don't forget

that we came here with a goal! We won't be able to justify our actions to them later on. I hope you know

what you're doing. There are some things that..."

Nelson interrupted Richard, "I know! Don't worry, I won't take unnecessary actions. My feelings died

with the name 'Vincent Granger' more than ten years ago. The purpose of attending the talk is to

improve my relationship with Naomi. I believe that if Benedict cares about Naomi so much, he will

definitely invite her to join the talk!"

Richard nodded and replied, "Okay! Of course I'll believe in you!" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Naomi got off work in the evening. When she went downstairs, she saw that Nelson was already

waiting there for her.

He was leaning against his car, looking extremely charming.

When he noticed Naomi, he walked towards her.

"Since you've injured your feet, it'll be inconvenient for you to go home by yourself. That's why I'm here

to pick you up!"

Naomi was a little worried and muttered, "But my father..."

"It's okay, I'll just drop you off outside of your house, I won't enter. Now, let's get in the car!"

As he spoke, he supported her and helped her get into the car.

Naomi had no choice but to agree. Soon, the car started and they drove off. She turned around and

suddenly noticed the weariness on Nelson's face.

"You look like you didn't sleep well."

Nelson was taken aback but he managed to reply, "Oh, it's just that I'm a little busy at work. I'm fine!"

Naomi smiled, "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to take care of yourself. In the future, it

would be best if you don't stay up too late!"

"Okay!"

Soon, they arrived at Clearwater Bay. After Nelson got out of the car with Naomi, he took out a bag

from the backseat.

"These are some shoes that I bought for you and some accessories to prevent your feet from being

injured. I don't know which ones are good, so I bought all of them."

Naomi was moved. Nelson was no longer the child from the past who used to cry a lot.

He had already grown into a composed man. However, at the thought of him buying such things for her,

she felt as if she had returned to their childhood.

He was just like the kind and considerate boy that he was back then.

"Thank you, Vincent."

She accidentally blurted out.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, especially Nelson, his fingers tightened around the bag, a

cold expression forming on his face.

Before Naomi could see it clearly, he had already stuffed the bag into her hands.

"I still have some things to do, I have to go now. Here you go."

Naomi pursed her lips and still wanted to call out to him, but he had already gotten into the car and

slipped away!

She hung her head in frustration and thought to herself, "Did I say something wrong? Why do I feel that

he is always unhappy every time I call him Vincent?"

As she was buried in her thoughts, she heard a merry voice call out to her.

"Naomi, you're back?"

Naomi asked curiously, "Benedict? Why are you here?"

Upon hearing that, Benedict grumbled, "What are you busy with recently? How could you forget that

our families will have a gathering and have dinner together on the 15th every month."

Naomi came to her senses and asked, "Is today the 15th?"

She had even forgotten about the day!

Benedict took the bag from her hands and asked, "What are these?"

Naomi snatched it away from him and answered, "It's just some shoes. By the way, you should be in

the dining room now. What are you doing here?"

Benedict said, "Oh, it's nothing. Did you buy some new shoes because your feet haven't recovered

yet? Didn't you apply the ointment I..."

Naomi had already started spacing out towards the end of his words, so she could only mumble

something else.

"I have and I feel much better now. By the way, don't change the subject! Why were you waiting for me

outside?"

Benedict let out a laugh, "You really know me best! In fact, our university is going to have an event

soon. There will be talks and various performances from the clubs, including mine. Come with me and

let's go together!"

The club that Benedict was talking about was the chess club. He couldn't do too much exercise since

he was a child due to his poor health. Therefore, he could only develop hobbies which were not

physically demanding, such as playing chess.

He excelled at that though. He had already become quite famous in the country despite his young age.

Naomi nodded and replied, "Sure, I'll definitely go and see you!"

Benedict was on cloud nine. He exclaimed with great joy, "Naomi, you are the best!"

"Hey! Show some respect please," After Naomi finished speaking, she entered the house hurriedly.

Benedict scratched his head before following her inside.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard Thea chatting with her mother.

"Benedict went out early to wait for Naomi. They should be coming in soon. The more I look at them,

the more I feel that they are a good match! Am I right, Eudora?"

Naomi was embarrassed and quickly butted in,"... Oh, Auntie Thea, you're making fun of us again!"
