One Night Stand With That Beggar

Monique saw that Nelson was keeping quiet.

Then, she continued, “You’re still in love with her, aren’t you?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m not!” Nelson pursed his lips.

“It’s good that you’re not. Then, I’ll leave the task to you. However, I’ll ask someone to supervise you! Don’t let me down this time!”

After that, Monique turned and left.

Nelson stood in the same spot for a while before receiving a phone call from Frida.

“Mr. Luther, I’ve already booked a flight ticket for tomorrow morning for you. Do you need me to arrange for a car to pick you up from the airport?”

“It’s you!” Nelson pressed his lips together. “You’re the one who was sent by Monique to supervise me?”

“Mr. Luther, I’m sorry. We’re all of Miss Monique’s people, aren’t we? I advise you to not argue with Miss Monique anymore! She actually treats you quite well. If you were anyone else, she would have long…”

“There’s no need to explain! I’ll return home by myself! Don’t show up in front of me again if there’s nothing important!”

“Then… about Miss George…”

“We’ll talk about it when I get back!”

…

When Naomi saw Nelson again, it was on the second night of his departure. Naomi got off work as usual. Just as she thought about going out for dinner that day, she saw that dinner had already been set on the table.

With a thought in her mind, she quickly walked to the kitchen door and saw that Nelson had just finished cooking the last dish.

Nelson spotted her.

He said with a smile, “You’re back? I saw the food in the trash can, therefore I made some for you!”

Naomi hummed in assent. For a moment, she felt joy in her heart. However, she soon calmed down and stood there motionlessly.

She asked, “Are you done with your work?”

The question was directed at him.

Nelson told her a ‘yes’, and he suddenly felt as if the distance between the two of them was extraordinarily far.

Although he already knew that their future together might be farther than it was currently, at the moment, he still felt a little upset!

He suppressed the thought and placed the dish on the table.

“I’ll get the plates!”

“I’ll get them myself!” Naomi said.

The two of them ate in silence, and Naomi did not ask Nelson any questions. After the meal, Nelson said.

After the meal, Nelson said, “I was a little busy in the company recently, so I’ll…”

“Are you moving out?” Naomi interrupted him.

Yes, he was indeed planning to move out.

Naomi smiled and said, “There’s no need for that. This is your house. If either one of us needs to move, it should be me. I-I’ll go pack my things!”

After that, she stood up.

She was devastated. Both of them knew the meaning behind his words.

She had no idea why she felt so sad, but she realized that she was still the daughter of the Granger family. She did not need to beg others for mercy. Even if she were to leave, she would leave with dignity!

However, reality was often different. The more a person wanted to keep their dignity, the more they would be embarrassed in the end.

When she turned around, she kicked the leg of the chair. The house had a heater, therefore she wore house slippers at home. She kicked it too hard therefore her toenail broke.

She was in so much pain that she let out a hiss and burst into tears.

Nelson’s heart throbbed, and he hurriedly rushed towards her.

“I’ll take you to the hospital…”

“There’s no need for that! No need!”

Naomi stretched her hand out to wipe away her tears, and the corners of her mouth were still curled up. She said, “I’m fine, it’s just a little painful! There’s really no need for the trouble. I’ll treat it myself!”

After that, she stubbornly pushed Nelson away and continued to walk forward.

She left a spot of blood with every step she took, making Nelson’s heart ache.

In the end, he failed to hold himself back anymore. He went forward and hugged her from behind.

“Your foot is still bleeding. Where are you going? I’ll take you to the hospital. Please listen to me!”

“I said, there’s no need for that!” Naomi struggled and said, “There’s really no need. You don’t want me anymore, so why are you still treating me so well?”

As soon as she finished her words, both of them were stunned.

Naomi closed her eyes. She felt regret in her heart!

Where had her strength and dignity all gone?

After she calmed herself down, she pursed her lips.

“Don’t take it seriously. That’s not what I meant. I…”

“Who said that I don’t want you?” Nelson suddenly said. “I didn’t finish speaking just now. I have had many things to do in the company recently. Therefore, in the future, I’ll cook breakfast, and you can cook dinner!”

Naomi, who had held back her tears for a long time, finally cried.

“You’re lying! You’re lying to me!”

“I’m not! Stop messing around. Let’s bandage the wound first, alright?”

“Then, why were you behaving that way a few days ago? Why did you leave without any reason? I’m mentally prepared. I know that Dad isn’t too satisfied with you and you are under a lot of pressure, but I hope that no matter how stressed you are, I can face those obstacles with you. I don’t want you to disappear without any apparent reason!”

“Do you know that I’ve been looking for you for a long time? I was afraid that something might have happened to you! I thought that you would be in danger again like the last incident! I was really afraid!”

Naomi had not spoken so much in a long period of time after becoming an adult.

At the moment, she had spilled everything that she had kept in her heart, all at once!

She felt wronged. Their relationship was supposed to be one full of hope and love, but how did it end up this way?

Nelson looked at her hysteric appearance, and his heart felt extremely uneasy.

“I’m sorry, I won’t do the same thing next time! Let’s bandage your wound first. We will talk about the other matters later!”

He said the last sentence to Naomi, and also to himself!

Later, she went to the hospital to treat her open toenail. After that, she returned home with Nelson.

As soon as the car started, Naomi turned to him.

She said, “Send me to my apartment that you stayed in last time!”

Nelson pressed his lips together and said, “Naomi, don’t make a fuss! I was in the wrong just now…”

“I’m not joking, Nelson! I, Naomi Granger, really like you. However, I won’t be blinded by love. I don’t want to become someone’s accessory!”

Nelson closed his eyes and said, “Fine! However, your feet are hurt now. It’s better for you to not live alone for the time being. Rest here for a few days! When you get better, and if you still want to go to your apartment by then, I’ll send you there! Otherwise, if your parents find out about the injury, they’ll be worried!”

As expected, as soon as her parents were mentioned, she finally stopped talking!

After a while, Nelson turned his head around again. Naomi had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep in her seat.

When they arrived home, Nelson went to park the car. When he returned, Naomi had already gone to the bathroom by herself.

He heard the sound of rushing water from the inside, and hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

“The doctor said that you can’t take a bath now!”

Naomi held onto the wall to wash her ankle that had not been bandaged. Upon hearing Nelson’s voice, she was so surprised that she almost fell down.

Fortunately, Nelson hugged her from the back in time.

“If you want to wash your feet, I can help you!”

After he placed Naomi on the bed, he took a basin of water and brought it over.

He rolled up his sleeves, knelt down before her, and slowly placed her feet into the basin.

Naomi looked at him, her nose starting to sniffle again!
