Naomi hadn't gone to work for a few days, so she had to catch up on her work in the company. After a busy day, she was worn out and dizzy by the time she got off work.
As soon as she went downstairs, she received a call from the hospital.
"Is this Miss George? Excuse me, have you seen Mr. Luther? He went out this afternoon and hasn't come back!"
Naomi was astonished. All her tiredness was gone in an instant.
"Did he go out alone?"
"Yes! He said he wanted to go home to get something, but then he didn't come back. We can't get in touch with his relatives, so we can only contact you."
"Got it. I'll go to his house at once!"
After hanging up on the call, she took a taxi without hesitation and headed straight for Nelson's house.
She had never been to his house in the past. However, Nelson had told her once about its location.
Based on her memory, she found his place successfully. Upon arrival, she quickly went over and rang the doorbell.
The door was not locked. She simply tried to turn the doorknob and it opened.
She went in quickly while shouting, "Nelson!"
In the next second, a long bang sounded and a banded cloth fell from above. Before she knew it, she was surrounded by tons of flowers and balloons, a dreamlike moment.
It left her totally flabbergasted.
Meanwhile, Nelson was standing in the corridor upstairs, with a remote control in his hand and a drone beside him.
There was a small box under the drone, which contained an engagement ring that he had personally prepared for Naomi.
After he had called her 'Mrs. Luther' during their conversation that morning, the idea of proposing to Naomi suddenly came to his mind.
Actually, he had wanted to marry her a long time ago. It was just that he felt like it was finally the perfect day for him to do it.
He controlled the drone to fly downstairs slowly.
In the next second, another bang sounded.
The balloons in front of Naomi scattered.
After that, it was the same for the flowers. They fell one after another, like a domino.
Naomi was perplexed as she said, "Have I come to the wrong house?"
Nelson couldn't help but sigh and feel exasperated. What a silly girl she was!
Just as he was about to call her name, she seemed to hear the sound of the drone, which was coming from above her head. Then, with a wave of her hand, the drone fell to the ground with a bang.
It split into pieces.
In the midst of the chaos, she shouted Nelson's name apprehensively.
"Nelson, where are you?"
Nelson couldn't bear to watch her in a distraught state, therefore he immediately went downstairs and walked towards her.
"Naomi!"
"Nelson, you are at home! That's great, I thought I came to the wrong house. A staff from the hospital called me and said that you came out in the afternoon. Why didn't you go back afterwards?"
Nelson put on a solemn face.
Placing his hands on her shoulders, he maintained a dignified tone while he was speaking.
"Don't you find anything different about me?" Hearing that, Naomi looked at him carefully.
"Why are you wearing a suit? Tell me, did you go to the company again in the afternoon? You lied that you came back to pick up something. I knew it, you must have gone to work! I know that you are a responsible man, but your body hasn't recovered yet. The most important thing now is to take care of yourself first."
Nelson facepalmed again as he said, "It's not that. I'm wearing a tuxedo!"
That was an obvious hint.
Naomi replied, "Oh, are you going to attend a banquet?"
"That's not it! What do you think the flowers and balloons are for?"
Then only Naomi came to a realization and said, "I got it!"
Nelson finally showed a smile with relief and continued, "I want to..."
