The slower he spoke, the more awkward Naomi got. Her face burned red like a baboon's bottom."I had to come up with some fictional nonsense to deal with the interview. Going into the details made it seem more real.""So did that mean your love at first sight for me was real?" Jack narrowed his eyes. He caught hold of the main point."Of course not! Don't worry! I only like young guys. I will never fall for you!" Naomi quickly explained. Her tone was serious and her gaze was extremely sincere."Is that so?" Jack's voice had an inexplicable sliver of anger in them. It was clearly for the best that she did not fall for him, but why did it sound so harsh in his ears?Ka-Cha! Not far away, a beam of bright light flashed in Jack's eyes. It must be the men that the Quinns had sent to spy on him! Jack's expressions darkened. He suddenly lowered his head and looked at Naomi meaningfully."You won't fall in love with me? Then, how about this?""What?" Naomi barely reacted. She looked
"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 th
To be precise, it was the smallest type of double bed they had seen! Next to the bedroom was a study with the size of four square meters! It could not be converted into another bedroom! At that moment, they finally understood what Old Mister Hough meant by 'especially suitable to foster relationships between newlyweds'! "Are you sure this isn't one of your tricks?" Naomi sat on the bed, hugging a pillow tightly. She looked at Jack with caution."There's only one bed, how are our sleeping arrangements?" Naomi secretly decided to herself that no matter what Jack said next, she would never agree to it! She would never sleep on the same bed with a stranger! At that moment, Jack walked over to her and looked down at her from above.Naomi was just thinking about how to resist when suddenly her arms were grabbing onto nothing. Jack snatched the pillow away."I'll be sleeping alone on this bed. You can sleep on the floor."Naomi was baffled. She looked up stiffly and looked at Jack i
Jack narrowed his eyes. He had the excitement of a hunter hunting its prey. His company was lacking in high-tech talents. If there was a chance, he would try to hire Lord G, no matter how much it costs! "No! He has already retreated from our system. The final point is…Tarragon Bay Area, near Saint Joseph's High School."Tarragon Bay Area? Was that not his current location? How could it be such a coincidence?Jack hung up his phone and got up. He opened the bedroom door. The living area was empty. Naomi was nowhere to be seen. The bag on the coffee table was opened! Jack looked around and finally noticed the toilet door which was shut tight.A surprising thought flashed in his mind. Perhaps, that so-called Lord G was right before him! The next second, he headed to the toilet, lifted his hand, and knocked on the door."Naomi, open up!""Hold up, I'll be done soon!"At that moment, a panicked girl's voice rang out.Jack's gaze darkened. He was even more convinced now and knoc
"What? You no longer want dinner?" Jack glanced at her. His tone might be nonchalant, but it was filled with lethal threats."I'll order my own delivery!""No. This is my house.""You…" Naomi was so furious that blood rushed to her head. She wanted to beat him up. However, looking at the size difference and how her stomach was growling at that moment, she could only give in.Jack turned around and smiled happily.Tsk, he was feeling much better at that moment.When they reached the supermarket, it was just when everyone had finished work. All sorts of promotional offers were going on. It was lively."Stupid straight man! How bossy! No wonder he can't find a wife!" Naomi grumbled softly while following Jack, feeling aggrieved."Are you bad mouthing me?" Jack's malicious voice suddenly rang out from above her head."No, no! How could it be! I'm thanking you. If not, I would not have food to eat tonight. Mister Daddy, you're amazing! You even know how to cook!" Naomi instantly ch
"Only one… put it in."Jack massaged his forehead with his hand. never knew that raising children would be so tough.In the end, the black, grey, and white cart was gradually filled with yellow, purple, and other assorted pastel colors.What happened to the Prince of Gin City and his unwavering aesthetics? What happened to buying only the necessities?Jack haughtily expressed that he was just giving in to the kid.In the end, Naomi took the initiative to push the cart because she was afraid that Jack might regret his decisions. Walking out of the living section, they arrived at the fruits and vegetable section. Naomi immediately noticed the jarring offer sign."My god! Carrots are ninety percent off! Let's have some roasted carrots!" Her eyes lit up and she tugged on Jack's sleeve. "We're not buying them." Jack did not even look before indifferently rejecting her suggestion. Only then did Naomi remember that he hated carrots."I truly don't know what the carrots did to offen
In the end, Jack did not help her at all. Naomi almost died carrying the huge bag of rice home.Naomi, completely exhausted, did not have the energy to deal with Jack. She laid down on the sofa, glared at him, and grumbled in her heart. However, the longer she looked, the more her fierce glares changed. Jack was dressed in a sophisticated black suit and he had a black apron on top of it. His wide shoulders and thin waist really made him look regal. He elevated the class of the small kitchen to that of a star hotel's private kitchens. Soon after, Jack poured the ingredients into the hot pan. Steam rose from the pan. The aroma of home-cooked food flooded Naomi's nose. She was instantly revitalized.Jack was about to reach for a plate when a smooth, slender, and, fair hand slid a plate right in front of him. "I'll help you!" Jack was stunned. He had been living alone for many years. At that moment, there was an extra person in his life. He was not used to it."I'll take thi
Nine wrote, [Lord G, what's going on? Why did you suddenly stop halfway through the mission?]Naomi was instantly infuriated when she saw the message. She quickly replied.[Do they know the rules of the dark web? How dare they embed a secret program in the system to track me?!]Luckily, she found out in time, if not she was going to be exposed! Her reputation would be ruined! Nine replied, [What? How is the great Hough Corp so dishonest! I'll help you get justice immediately. We won't take their case!]Nine was furious too. After all, the rules of the dark web were how the hackers survived. It was almost a principle for them.When Naomi saw the message, she immediately stopped Nine.[Don't! It's a million bucks! Why refuse! I'm not that easy to deal with too. They will soon know how great I am!]Naomi leaned back comfortably on the sofa. Her slender fingers gently tapped on the enter key.In the study, Jack suddenly received an emergency call from Philip."It's bad! Lord G f
