Nelson pursed his lips and said, "I just don't want you to quarrel with your parents! I'd never stayed with my parents since I was a child, therefore I cherish familial relationships a lot!"
Naomi understood where he was coming from. Before she was five years old, she had also never lived with Amos either.
She paused for a while.
"Thank you for what you did just now!"
Nelson said, "You're welcome! As long as you lead a good life in the future, I will be at ease!"
After that, he turned around and left. Naomi stared at his back blankly for a long time.
Benedict came after her and called her.
"Naomi, what are you looking at? Who was that?"
Naomi came to her senses and replied, "He was the person who helped us out just now. I was thanking him."
Benedict asked skeptically, "Why did he help us out? Do you know him?"
Naomi pursed her lips.
Then, she quickly changed the subject, "I like the event, it's fascinating. Thank you for your invitation. I'm going home!"
"The event isn't over yet!" Benedict tried to persuade her to stay.
"I've seen all the things that I'm interested in, though. Let's call it a day!"
"Fine!" Benedict was a little disappointed. However, he would always respect Naomi's decisions.
"I'll walk you home. It's been a long time since I've seen Uncle Amos and Auntie Eudora. I heard from my mother a few days ago that she wants to travel with Auntie Eudora for a while. Do you know about that?"
Naomi was taken aback and asked, "Does she really?"
"Yes! My parents have booked their airline tickets.
I bet your parents will be going too!"
Naomi pursed her lips. Her parents had never brought this matter up before.
Meanwhile, in Clearwater Bay.
Eudora was resting whereas Amos was preparing their luggage.
"We will be there for a week. It's cold over there, so you have to take the necessities with you."
Eudora replied lazily, "Aren't you going too? I'd be more rest assured if you come along!"
Hearing her words, Amos felt exasperated yet happy at the same time.
"Then, you must follow me closely."
Eudora suddenly said, " If we just leave like this, what about Naomi? Why don't we ask her to go with us?"
Amos was still upset about the fact that Naomi had hurt Eudora.
Upon hearing Eudora's suggestion, his voice became a little cold.
He insisted, "I think it's better for her to calm down for a while. Since she has just broken up with Nelson, let her wallow in her sadness for a while. We've never forced her to do anything throughout these years..."
Although Eudora was reluctant to leave Naomi behind, she felt that Amos' words were quite reasonable. After all, children had to grow up themselves. One's parents could only be there to encourage their children to become more independent so that they could take care of themselves in the future.
"Then, I'll leave her a note!"
When Benedict arrived at Clearwater Bay with Naomi, he received a phone call from Harley as soon as he got out of the car.
"We're leaving, so take care of yourself and the goldfish raised by your mother. Remember to change the water and feed it daily. If it dies, I will not spare you!"
Benedict let out a sigh and followed Naomi into the house. Then, he started, "Naomi, my parents..."
As he trailed off, he noticed that Naomi was staring dazedly at a letter in her hand.
