Chapter 397"Mister Daddyโs mother?" Naomi was confused. "Yes! She looked so powerful! " Janell lowered her voice and complained to Naomi. At the same time, the woman had already stood behind her. "Mind if I come in?" She was just asking, but her tone was imperious. โSure enough, she is Mister Daddyโs mother, with the same personality.โ Naomi murmured in her heart, but she still had a smile on his face and made a gesture to show her agreement. "Janell, pour a cup of tea!" "No need. I'll leave soon after saying a few words." Madam Houghโs tone was neither hot nor cold. Naomi blinked and thought, โIt seems that Madam Hough knows Mister Daddy and I will hold two weddings. So now Iโm facing my mother-in-law before the wedding?โ Janell was in a bit of a dilemma and looked at Naomi for help. Naomi straightened her back and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. "No matter how long you sit, we can't lose the courtesy." "Yes!" Janell immediately responde
Chapter 398"Except for being the president, my son also shoulders greater ideals and greater responsibilities! It's a common occurrence for him to go through life under fire and bullets. You should have seen the way he was seriously injured last time. He can't give you a peaceful life, so he's not suitable for you, not for ordinary people." Hearing Madam Hough's words, Naomi suddenly became rebellious. "Who says I want a peaceful life?" Naomi raised her eyebrows and showed a recalcitrant smile. "I am not an ordinary person, and last time I healed his serious injury. I'll save him no matter how badly he gets hurt. We're a perfect match!" Speaking of the last sentence, Naomi specially stressed it loudly. "You are very brave." A trace of untraceable compliment flashed in Madam Hough's eyes, but soon her eyes were filled with apathy and alienation. "But the Hough family is a large family, and many people want his position. What you did before has brought too many negative
Chapter 399"Because she really loves Jack." Madam Hough looked at the sign of Langdon outside the window with a complicated gaze and then sighed with regret. "If she were not Rachel's daughter, that would be great." "Madam Hough, let's go to Hough Corp!" Seeing that Madam Hough showed regret to Naomi, Queenie felt a little disgusted and interrupted Madam Hough impolitely. Then she stepped on the accelerator and left Langdon immediately. In the office, Jack was sitting at his desk, listening to Sean report on the progress of wedding preparations. "Basically all the details have been completed except for the guest invitation list. Most of the relatives are in Royal City and will attend the wedding held in Royal City, but your parents... How about..." At this time, Sean hesitated. Jack's long fingers were folded on his jaw, and he blinked with hesitation. He remembered how strongly his mother had objected to him being with Naomi. At this time, the gate was pushed op
Chapter 400โAs a top talent in Hostroy, she enjoyed the best treatment. Havenโt you ever thought about her motives for betraying the country? Since this is an unsolved case, I will find out the truth myself! The reason you gave is not well-founded, and I will not break up with Naomi because of an unsolved case!โโReally?โMadam Hough sneered and pointed at Jack with trembling fingers.โYour father also holds intense hatred against Rachel. Is this a sufficient reason?โโWhat do you mean?โJack narrowed his eyes. At the mention of her husband, Madam Houghโs eyes had already turned red.โWhen your father had a leg disease, everyone said that only Rachel could cure it. I took your father to Rachel and knelt in front of her house for three days, but she never showed up! As a result, your father missed the best opportunity for treatment, and he has to stay in a wheelchair all his life! I will never accept my enemyโs daughter to be my daughter-in-law!โJackโs eyes widened in surprise.
Chapter 401Naomi subconsciously stood up. Jack rushed at her immediately and hugged her tightly in his arms.The pleasant smell on his body entered her nostrils in an instant.โMister Daddy, how did you...โโI wonโt allow you to give up!โBefore Naomi finished her words, Jack directly interrupted her.His voice was a little sullen, with a trace of fear in it.She didnโt expect that Jack could also be afraid of something.โI wonโt cancel the wedding! No matter what others say, I will marry you!โ he said in a firm and domineering tone.His words gave her great courage, and all her worries seemed to dissipate at once.โOK.โNaomi smiled and put her arms tightly around Jackโs waist.She rested her chin on his shoulder, making them closer.โI wonโt give up, for Iโve never been afraid of anything!โHearing her affirmative answer, Jack finally rested assured.He bowed his head, and Naomi happened to raise her head to look up at him. Her cute appearance instantly melted his hea
Chapter 402Naomi couldnโt bear to hear others speak ill of him, so she took the initiative to speak up for Jack.Jack had already pulled a long face, but when he heard Naomiโs words, his expression softened a lot.They exchanged pleasantries for a while, and it was already late at night.Jack was about to take Naomi back home first.Uncle Zach suddenly stopped them in front of the car and asked seriously, โMr. Hough, you havenโt told us when the wedding will be held.โโIn three days.โโThree days later? Then you canโt take Miss Naomi back!โUncle Zach immediately pulled Naomi to his side and stood in the front to stop Jack from approaching Naomi.โWhy?โJack frowned with displeasure, and he was about to lose his temper.โCouples canโt meet each other for a total of three days before the wedding, otherwise it will be unlucky! It is better for Miss Naomi to live in Green Residence.โAt this point, Sean also came up with his mobile phone and persuaded Jack in a nervous voice,
Chapter 403โPut this matter off for the time being.โJack frowned deeply and subconsciously refused.Actually, he hadnโt found out the truth about Rachelโs case.If Shannon saw the file, Naomi might have some misunderstandings.He would never allow such an incident to happen before the wedding!โWell ... OK!โ Sean hesitated for a moment and stuttered."How is the promotion of the wedding?"Jack tilted his head and asked.โPlease rest assured, sir. I have arranged for it this morning! Now the news about the wedding has spread throughout the whole city!โSean grinned and handed an iPad to Jack.On the screen, the news that Naomi and Jack were going to have a wedding was presented.โThis time, I wonโt let Naomi suffer any grievances!โ Jack said firmly.In the high-end apartment opposite the Hough Corpโs building.The TV host was passionately broadcasting the news of Naomi and Jackโs upcoming wedding on TV.โBang!โQueenie, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly slammed the
Chapter 404โMiss Naomi, give me your hand!โAt this point, a male voice sounded outside.Naomi opened the car window and saw a familiar face.โEvan? Why are you here?โโShannon was afraid that you might be in danger, so he asked me to take some men to protect you at any time!โEvan explained and stretched out his hand towards Naomi.Leaning on Evanโs shoulder, Naomi struggled out of the car, and she couldnโt help shaking all over. When she set her feet on the ground, she found that her legs had gone limp!โMiss Naomi, Mr. Shaw gave you a video call.โEvan handed the phone to Naomi respectfully.โShannon!โNaomi held the phone and shouted in a choked voice.โDonโt be afraid. You are out of danger now!โIn the video, Shannon looked at her with a worried expression.โIs the gang that killed Cayden targeting me now?โNaomiโs eyes instantly turned cold.โYes. I didnโt expect them to take action so quickly, and they are more powerful than I have expected. They already knew th
Chapter 473"Of course not!" Naomi shook her head and answered firmly.ใใ"I'm a doctor. Trust me. I will cure you!"ใใNaomi then reached out to smooth Jack's furrowed brows.ใใ"Don't think about those horrible things. It's all in the past."ใใ"All right," Jack said as he grabbed Naomi's soft hand and rubbed it in his palm.ใใThe anger and fear in Jack's heart faded at a glimpse of Naomi.ใใJack's face eased up. He went on peacefully, "Luckily, then I met a girl. She saved me."ใใ"I see." Naomi responded, jealousy in her heart.ใใโObviously, that girl was Queenie.ใใโSpeaking of Queenie, Mister Daddy becomes so tender.ใใโAll right! Queenie will always be your angel!'ใใNaomi got angry when she remembered what Queenie and Jack's mother had done to her at the wedding.ใใโBut Mister Daddy trusts Queenie so much, and Mrs. Hough is his mother. Whose side will Stinky Daddy be on if conflict breaks out among us in the future?'ใใNaomi hung her head down. She had little confidenc
Chapter 472ใใSean was speechless. He scratched his hair.ใใProfessor Gregory sighed. He stood up and turned to go.ใใ"Maybe there is going to be another storm."It was cold at night.Naomi sat on the steps by the fountain at the Base. She clutched her legs in her arms. Jack draped his jacket over her shoulders.ใใ"It's cold."ใใ"You're the patient. You need it more than I do."ใใNaomi wanted to take the jacket off, but Jack stopped her and took her into his arms.ใใ"I'm all healed up."ใใ"Really?" Naomi looked at him suspiciously.ใใThen Jack grabbed Naomi's hand and slipped it under his shirt.ใใTouching his hot skin, immediately, Naomi blushed.ใใ"What are you doing? We're in a public place..."ใใ"I'm just letting you check me out." Jack replied calmly, innocence in his eyes.ใใ"All right," Naomi felt extremely embarrassed. She felt ashamed of her thoughts.ใใJack raised his eyebrows. He sensed her embarrassment. He deliberately leaned in and teased, "You want to d
Chapter 471Jack's eyes showed a glint of embarrassment, which meant he admitted it.ใใ"Sean said you couldnโt sleep well. I remember you always had to hold something while you slept..."ใใHe wanted to say that Naomi had to hold him to sleep well, but he swallowed it.ใใNaomi's eyes twinkled. Immediately, she felt something pinch her heart hard.ใใ"Since you don't like it, give it back to me.โ Jack was about to take the doll away.ใใ"No! You gave it to me. How can you take it back?"ใใNaomi hid the doll behind her back.ใใJust as Naomi was grabbing the doll, suddenly Jack opened his arms and took both her and the doll tightly in his arms.ใใJack's unique and fresh scent immediately enveloped her.ใใFalling into the familiar embrace, Naomi instantly got emotional. Her eyes welled up with tears. She quietly leaned into his arms, enjoying the moment.ใใJack held her tighter as if he was afraid she would run away again.ใใHe wanted to take it slow, but he couldn't hold it anymo
Chapter 470ใใA worried look flashed across Jack's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He averted his eyes.ใใIt was silent.ใใNaomi's lips quivered. So many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out.ใใ"Uh... Are all your wounds healed?"ใใ"Yes." Jack replied indifferently. He sounded aloof.ใใNaomi looked up at him, but he didn't look at her.ใใNaomi didnโt know how much effort Jack had used to refrain from looking at her. But still, he sneaked a peek at her out of the corner of his eye.ใใNaomi nervously gripped the doll with her fingers. She was looking for anything to say to Jack.ใใโThe doll... Right! 'ใใNaomi immediately held up the doll and asked, "Did you give me this doll and the fruit that appeared on my windowsill these days?"ใใ"No." Jack bluntly answered.ใใJack remembered that Sean had told him earlier that anything Jack sent to Naomi, she would throw it away.ใใโBut Naomi can't sleep well if she doesn't have a doll to cudd
Chapter 469"Shooting the ninth ring will pass. My master shot the bullโs eye. Why didn't he pass?" Paulo questioned angrily.ใใRobin also sneered at Jack, "Mr. Hough, you're not finding fault with Naom, are you?"ใใSnap!ใใJack closed the folder abruptly, and everyone was shocked. The range fell silent!ใใJack looked Naomi steadily in the eye and replied calmly, "Your elbow is in the wrong place. You're shooting impulsively. And your breathing is not steady."ใใNaomi blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment.ใThen Jack's low voice rang out above her head.ใใ"If you want to join the National Security Bureau, you have to do your best!"ใใImmediately, Naomi's eyes flickered. She looked up at Jack.ใใโMister Daddy knows what Iโm up to?'ใใTheir eyes met, and the look in Jack's eyes reassured her.ใใ"You're not good enough."ใใ"You're not fair." Saif spoke up angrily for Naomi. "In my opinion, it's you..."ใใ"Saif!" Naomi stopped Saif. The anger was gone from her face, a
Chapter 468ใใ"I'm sorry."ใใ"It's okay. Your nerves are too tight these days. You should relax a bit."ใใRobin showed a worried look in his eyes. He handed Naomi a bottle.ใใ"I made the tea. It helps you calm down. Try it."ใใ"Have you had lunch, Master? Have a piece of cake!" Paulo handed Naomi a piece of cake, and Saif took out a handkerchief to wipe Naomi's sweat.ใใFor a moment, Naomi felt warmed by the concern of so many people.ใใ"Thank you all."ใใ"Itโs OK. We are a team!"ใใ"Yeah, we're a team!"ใใThe four then burst out laughing at the same time.ใใNot far away, Jack cast his eyes on Naomi. Seeing Naomi so close to the other three, he felt jealous. He got angry and clenched the pencil in his hand so hard that it broke into two!ใใ"The pencil broke?" Lily asked in surprise.ใJack's face didn't change color. He picked up another pencil."The quality of the pencil is too bad."The test began. Everyone on each team had to hit the ninth ring, or the teamโโs score wo
Chapter 467Snap--ใJust after Sean finished, the banana in Naomi's hand hit the ground. It rolled a few inches and stopped next to the trash can.ใใNaomi felt like she was drenched by a bucket of ice water. She immediately came to her senses.ใใNaomi was like a drowned rat, so frustrated and pathetic.ใใSean resisted the urge to tell her the truth and told Naomi to leave.ใใ"Miss Naomi, excuse me."ใใ"I'm sorry." Naomi turned in dismay. โShe walked aimlessly forward like a ghost.ใใโI should forget about him, but why does my heart hurt so much?'ใใ"Naom!" Saif ran towards Naomi from not far away and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks awful. Do you want to go to the doctor?"ใใ"No, I'm fine, really!" Naomi shook her head.ใใ"Should I take you back to the dormitory to rest a bit?โ There's still some time before the shooting test."ใใSaif reached out to help Naomi, but once again Naomi refused, "We should go straight to the range."ใใHalf of the trai
Chapter 466ใใ"If they end up breaking up, I'm screwed!"ใใ"Don't worry!" Professor Gregory patted Sean's shoulder.ใใ"It took me only a month to win your momโs heart. I know women. Trust me! You won't regret it!"ใใ"OK. I trust you!"ใใSean scratched his hair. Then he went to report to Jack with suspicion in his heart.ใใAs soon as Sean got into Jackโs room, he immediately put on a timid face.ใใ"Sir, Mrs. Hough didn't take anything you asked me to send to her. She said..."ใใ"What did she say?"ใใ"She said she hates you and that she never wanted to see you again!" Sean made it up deliberately. He was tense inside.ใใJack, who was lying in bed, showed a gloomy look in his deep eyes.ใใSean panicked and hurriedly asked, "Should I send her the stuff again?"ใใ"Yes. But you need to do it secretly." Jack replied without hesitation.ใใ"Don't let her know it's me."ใใ"Then what's the point of that?" Sean wondered.ใใ"I just want her to be happy."

Chapter 465โOkay.โNaomiโs tone was rather calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.In fact, she was totally stunned. But since things had become like this, there was nothing she could do to change the past. Sean widened his eyes and looked at Naomi in disbelief."That's your answer?"Naomi looked away, bypassed Sean and went away."I got to go."After saying that, she left like a ghost.Seanโs heart sank and he heavily sighed."Mrs. Hough doesn't want to be with Mr. Hough anymore. Itโs doomed!โ"Donโt talk nonsense!โProfessor Gregory just returned back to the operating room. He stared at Naomi's back and said with a meaningful smile, "The two of them will get back together!โ "How can that be? Didn't you see Miss Naomi's reaction?โ Sean retorted.However, Professor Gregory answered like an experienced man, "Haven't you ever heard that one can make the best out of a bad situation?โ......Naomi went back to the dormitory and closed her eyes after lying on the be
