My Second Husband novel Chapter 1024

Naomi cursed herself silently in her heart for being soft-hearted.

Then, she turned her head away, "That's enough!"

Nelson took a towel and wrapped her feet in his arms. After he carefully wiped them dry, he said.

After he carefully wiped them dry, he said, "I've helped you to take your pajamas. You can change into them."

When Nelson came out, Naomi had already curled up in the corner of the bed and fallen asleep! Nelson slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to hug her.

However, in the end, he gave up on the notion.

He turned over and stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.

His mind was in a mess!

He had no idea what he was doing! He only knew that he was playing with fire, and that it was the kind of fire that would burn him to ashes if he was not careful.

However, he clearly knew that things would end miserably. The best way for him was to draw a clear line between Naomi and himself as soon as possible.

However, seeing her putting a strong front despite obviously feeling sad, made him reluctant to do so! She had obviously been trembling, but she had still stood up straight to maintain her self-esteem.

He was sick!

He had contracted an incurable disease!

The next day, when Naomi got up, Nelson had already finished preparing breakfast.

Spotting Naomi coming downstairs, he smiled and said, "Your legs are in bad shape now, so don't go to work for the time being! I will ask your colleague to apply for leaves on your behalf when I pass by your company later..."

Naomi interjected, "There's no need for that. I have a very important meeting today."

Her tone was light.

Nelson frowned. He knew her stubbornness, therefore he compromised.

"Then, I'll give you a ride!"

"There's no need for that either. I've booked a car online!"

After that, she limped out of the house. Nelson let out a sigh as he watched her back.

In the car, Naomi sat down and forced herself to take out the files in her hand.

She had a meeting that morning. The previous night, due to Nelson's sudden return, she had failed to prepare many things.

After she looked at the files for a while, she looked up, and felt that something was amiss.

"This isn't the way to my company, is it?"

Naomi looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window and had no idea where she was going. She was in a completely unfamiliar and remote place.

The driver in front ignored her and continued to drive forward.

Naomi became nervous, but she tried her best to remain calm. She said to the driver, "This is not the correct route! It's my fault for not telling you about the location clearly. If you follow this route back, I'll pay you a greater amount. Also, I'll pay you extra for the trouble..."

At that time, she felt that she could not get too nervous. Being overly anxious could easily motivate the other party to commit sinful stuff. What if he had not planned to do something bad but accidentally had only taken the wrong route?

The driver heard her words, and he turned his face to glance at her.

"You're rich?"

His voice was a little gloomy. Due to the fact that Naomi had not looked at the driver when she got into the car, she just realized that the driver in front of her was not the same person as the one listed in the online application!

That was to say, she had really encountered a bad guy this time around!

Naomi took a deep breath, genuinely feeling a little nervous.

"What do you mean by that? We're all normal office workers, so how much money could we possibly make? Everyone is having a hard time earning money, right? I also know that your job isn't easy, therefore we understand each other. It's also hard for us to work, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to work despite my feet being injured!"

Upon hearing about her injury, the driver glanced at her leg.

Naomi deliberately looked for a common point of interest with the driver, for she might resonate with him and arouse his compassion.

However, it turned out that Naomi was wrong.
