My Second Husband novel Chapter 957

Naomi lowered her head and poked the thief in the eye. Then, she wrapped her leg up using the hem of her dress.

The person whose stuff got stolen quickly caught up and retrieved their belongings.

"Thank you! You're amazing!"

Naomi shook her head and laughed, "You're welcome. You should be careful in the future."

The commotion just now attracted the police officers that were patrolling. They arrived shortly at the scene. After Naomi handed over the incident to them, she was about to turn around but was stopped by Nelson.

"Naomi, what did you just do?"

Naomi pursed her lips, "What's wrong? I'm fine!"

"What if something happens to you? Besides, I'm here. You don't have to go and take the risk."

Nelson was so angry that Naomi was inundated with nagging grunts and complaints.

"In addition, you're wearing a dress. Where are your shoes? What if you are injured? Naomi, you..." Naomi could only smile, "Are you worried about me?"

With that, Nelson paused. His hands that held her shoes froze in mid-air for a good few seconds before he regained his composure.

"I am your boyfriend, so of course I care about you!"

Naomi grinned, "Thank you! I'm very happy."

Her eyes lit up right away and she looked at him affectionately. She was completely different from her usual collected self. Instead, she resembled a young, cheerful girl, just like how she used to be years ago.

For some reason, Nelson's heart skipped a beat. He felt as if he was committing a heinous deed.

He turned away subconsciously and tossed her shoes to her.

"Put them on! I'll take you to dinner!"

Naomi sighed as she looked at the high heels. She quickly put it on and limped after him.

Nelson had booked a French restaurant for dinner. Naomi looked at the bite- sized food that was placed in the middle of the plate and couldn't help but restrict her appetite.

Since she was a child of the Granger family, she was aware of proper dining etiquette. Even if she didn't like French cuisine very much, Amos had made sure all his children were aware of how to act at the dinner table.

In her daily life, she was no dainty girl. She was exuberant and loved practicing self defense skills every day.

Her favorite food included various - if not all meat dishes, and she could help herself to two servings per meal.

She was ravenous especially after she had chased the thief just now and her stomach was already growling from hunger!

She gave up the idea of ordering more food. She wanted to make a good impression since it was their first date.

After Naomi finished all the dishes gracefully, Nelson put down his napkin and asked her, "Are you full?"

Naomi, who wished to eat more, hurriedly put down her spoons and answered sheepishly, "I... I'm full."

Nelson nodded and stood up to pay for the bill.

"I'll take you home!" He then offered.

Naomi was just about to nod when Nelson's phone rang. He answered it, having a feeling that it was from his assistant.

Indeed, it was a call from Richard.

"Mr. Luther, please hurry back now and have a video call with your mother. She is sick of staying abroad, and I can't persuade her anymore no matter how hard I try! If you don't come back and deal with it, I'm afraid that she will be coming back overnight!"

Nelson could not let his mother come back at this moment. Currently, he was making slow but steady progress with his plan. Furthermore, Amos and Eudora had just softened their stance by allowing Naomi to go on dates with him.

If his mother came back, there would be a risk that she might pick a quarrel or fight with Amos and Eudora due to the previous grudges she harbored against them. As a result, all the efforts he had put in would be in vain.

"Okay, I'll go back now and talk to her!" After hanging up the phone, Nelson pursed his lips and sighed, "I have something to do..."

Naomi immediately nodded thoughtfully, "You can go ahead! I can head by myself!"

Nelson looked at his phone and suggested, "Let's leave together then. I'll help you hail a taxi!"
