My Second Husband novel Chapter 960

"Benedict Louis?"

Nelson tapped on the table with his fingers. Then, he asked, "Does he hang out with Naomi frequently?"

Richard replied, "I think they do meet up quite often! I noticed that you were very concerned about it, so I took some time to look into it thoroughly for you."

Nelson shot Richard a disdainful look. Then, Richard continued.

"Benedict is the eldest son of Amos's good friend, Harley Louis. He has been on good terms with Naomi since he was young. It's said that the two families once thought about getting engaged, but I'm unsure of why they didn't go through with it. However, my intel shows that Benedict has been extremely clingy with Naomi since they were both still very young. Whenever he is ill, he needs her by his side to get better."

After Richard finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

"This sounds a bit unbelievable!"

Nelson frowned, "He must have ulterior motives!"

"I'm not sure about that, but I think you might have a rival in love now!"

Nelson pursed his lips and grumbled, "I don't think a brat like him can be my rival in love..."

Just then, he saw the playful expression on Richard's face before he could finish his sentence. Hence, he rolled his eyes at him.

"It seems that you really want to be transferred back to..."

"No, I was just kidding! You don't have a rival in love, it's just for our goal! Yes, it's for our goal! So, how are you going to deal with this rival in love for the sake of our goal?"

Richard deliberately emphasized the word "goal" so Nelson couldn't berate him.

Nelson was annoyed but soon spoke again.

"If I'm not wrong, he should be a high school student?"

Richard shook his head while replying, "Nope! He is very hardworking and smart. He managed to skip grades and complete all necessary education two years back. It is also said that he was accepted to Oxford University. However, due to his health, he is now a second-year sophomore in Rosaville City University." "Rosaville City University?" Nelson suddenly recalled something and he asked, "We received an invitation from that university a few days ago, didn't we? They invited me to give a talk regarding architecture and design, am I right?"

Richard nodded in agreement, "Yes, you're right. Didn't you say that you're not interested? I've asked someone to reject it for you."

"No! I'm suddenly interested in it now! Have the secretary contact them and inform them I'll arrive on time!"

Richard frowned, his brows furrowing in confusion. This time, his expression was serious as he advised, "Mr. Luther, please forgive me for nagging you. Although we usually joke around, don't forget that we came here with a goal! We won't be able to justify our actions to them later on. I hope you know what you're doing. There are some things that..."

Nelson interrupted Richard, "I know! Don't worry, I won't take unnecessary actions. My feelings died with the name 'Vincent Granger' more than ten years ago. The purpose of attending the talk is to improve my relationship with Naomi. I believe that if Benedict cares about Naomi so much, he will definitely invite her to join the talk!"

Richard nodded and replied, "Okay! Of course I'll believe in you!"

Naomi got off work in the evening. When she went downstairs, she saw that Nelson was already waiting there for her.

He was leaning against his car, looking extremely charming.

When he noticed Naomi, he walked towards her.

"Since you've injured your feet, it'll be inconvenient for you to go home by yourself. That's why I'm here to pick you up!"

Naomi was a little worried and muttered, "But my father..."

"It's okay, I'll just drop you off outside of your house, I won't enter. Now, let's get in the car!"

As he spoke, he supported her and helped her get into the car.

Naomi had no choice but to agree. Soon, the car started and they drove off. She turned around and suddenly noticed the weariness on Nelson's face.

"You look like you didn't sleep well."

Nelson was taken aback but he managed to reply, "Oh, it's just that I'm a little busy at work. I'm fine!"

Naomi smiled, "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to take care of yourself. In the future, it would be best if you don't stay up too late!"
