One Night Stand With That Beggar

It had been a surprising and exhilarating event for Naomi because Amos would no longer stand in the way of her and Nelson’s happiness from then on.

They could be together!

Therefore, she took no notice of Amos’ words about the miseries that she might encounter in the future.

After thanking Amos, she brought Nelson back to the next ward to rest. On the same afternoon, after Eudora’s condition stabilized, Amos went through the discharge procedures and really brought her back home for recuperation.

…

After Naomi left in the evening, Nelson got up and made a phone call to Richard.

“Come to my ward instantly!”

Richard had constantly been paying attention to Nelson’s news. Therefore, he knew that Nelson was in the hospital. At first, he wanted to visit him.

However, as soon as Richard arrived at the hospital, he was hurried back by Monique’s call.

Monique instructed, “On behalf of the corporate head office, I’m sending you to Floral City for a business trip that will last for half a month. Depart at once!”

Richard guessed that Monique must have taken action. Of course she would definitely not allow Nelson to act against her will.

“Miss Monique, we all respect you, but I really don’t understand what you intend to do this time? To be honest, such an arrangement is not good for you at all!”

Monique glanced at him as she said, “It seems that you have forgotten who your boss is!”

Richard sneered, “It’s because I am overly concerned that you’re my boss, that’s exactly why I’ve been listening to you! However, look at the results? If it weren’t for Mr. Luther’s good luck, he would have died this time, right? Miss Monique, please forgive me for not being able to listen to you this time! I want to tell everything to Nelson!”

“Whatever!” Monique was still as composed as before.

“Well, that might not be necessary. I reckon that he isn’t stupid and should have guessed it by now. Nonetheless, you are not supposed to tell him, so watch your big mouth! Anyway, I can’t stop you if you want to tell anyone. For your information, Nelson’s mother is now living abroad in my villa. How do you think I should deal with her?”

These words had made Richard’s blood run cold as he said, “You…”

They had been too naïve to believe that Monique would help them. History had always taught people that those who collude with unscrupulous individuals would come to no good in the end.

“What do you want me to do?” said Richard dejectedly.

“Very well. I always knew that you’re a smart person. You just need to keep your mouth shut and go on a business trip!”

At the airport, Richard held his phone tightly and whispered to Nelson through the phone, “I’m sorry, Mr. Luther. I need to deal with some affairs in the company in person. I’ll be boarding soon. That’s all. Bye!”

Before Nelson could reply to him, the call ended!

Nelson frowned as he looked at the phone in his hand.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and Monique walked in coquettishly.

“I bet you must have a lot of questions to ask me.”

Nelson’s face turned sombre when he raised his head and saw Monique.

“It’s you, isn’t it? You were the one who ordered people to kidnap me and the Granger family!”

Candid with him, Monique nodded her head without hesitation.

“It was me!”

“What on earth do you want to do? I have made it very clear last time that I…”

“What’s wrong? Do you think I’ll return kindness with ingratitude?”

Nelson felt perplexed as Monique was taking out a cigarette. However, she didn’t light it. She just played with it in her hand for a while.

“If it weren’t for my help, do you think your relationship with Naomi could develop so fast? You owe me a ‘thank you’, don’t you?”

Upon hearing her, Nelson furrowed his brows. The incident had indeed improved their relationship. However, the whole process had been a bit shocking and unbearable for him.

“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Why should I? Would you agree with my plan if I did? I’ve warned you that being in this dangerous line of work, we shouldn’t fall in love with anyone! What’s happening to you? Have you forgotten what you have said? If that’s the case, then Naomi…”

“No!” Nelson quickly interrupted her.

“I haven’t fallen in love with her!”

“That’s more like it!” Monique let out a laugh. She stood up and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to cover Nelson with the quilt.

However, as soon as her hand went near Nelson, he hurriedly dodge it.

“It’s late. Miss Monique, maybe you should consider going back if there’s nothing else you want to talk about.”

Monique drew back her hand with a sardonic smile on her face.

“Alright, I’ll leave then!”

The moment she turned around and went out, she snorted and thought about Nelson’s attitude.

“In this world, there is no one who can get away from me without consequences. You will be no exception!”

Thinking of this, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her assistant.

“It’s not convenient for me to deal with the police. Ask Nelson to think of a way to deal with it! I want to stay alone for some time. Don’t bother me if there’s nothing important!”

…

Nelson sat morosely on the sickbed for a long time before he got over the news and laid down again.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

His cell phone rang once, indicating that he received a notification, but he was quite downcast at the moment. Hence, he didn’t look at it. A moment later, it rang again.

Only then did he pick it up impatiently and clicked on the messaging app.

Unexpectedly, he saw a red pouting face emoji, followed by a line of text.

“I hate those who don’t reply to my message!”

It was from Naomi.

Seeing that, Nelson replied swiftly, “I’m sorry, I thought it was a spam message, thus I didn’t read it.”

Naomi was dumbfounded.

She simply replied with a goodnight GIF.

Nelson put down his phone and turned his body over again. Thinking of her response, his despondency dispelled.

He fell asleep soon after closing his eyes

He dreamt about a little girl who was Naomi when she was a child. It was a wonderful dream for him.

The next day, Naomi came early in the morning.

She walked with a spring in her step into the ward.

She put the food in her hand onto the table and introduced the dishes.

“I still remember that you liked to eat breakfast from Delica Restaurant when you were a child, so I bought it for you this morning. The chef in our family was once a chef from Delica Restaurant too. Eat up after you wash up later. I’m going to work!”

Nelson stared at her wet hair. It seemed that she had just come out from a shower not long ago.

He stopped her again.

“If you’re in a hurry, you don’t have to come to the hospital to see me, just head straight to your company. I’m fine by myself!”

“No way! Am I not your girlfriend already? I should do this.”

She said the word ‘girlfriend’ in a low tone laced with glee and shyness, making her look even more adorable.

Nelson couldn’t help but caress her hair as he said, “No, you’re already my wife!”

Naomi was hesitant before she said, “We’re not married yet!”

“Marriage is just a formality. In my heart, you are already my wife, my one and only ‘Mrs. Luther’!”

Naomi nodded and smiled impishly at him, “Well, Mr. Luther, since you treated Mrs. Luther’s message as a spam message, shouldn’t you be punished?”
