My Second Husband novel Chapter 997

Before Naomi could ask more, Benedict had already started the car.

Naomi silently looked down at the box in her hand. It seemed like a necklace. She felt reluctant to put it on and didn't want anything to happen to it, hence she kept it inside its small box.

"Let me drive!" Naomi said.

Benedict shook his head and said, "No need! I can drive. I got my driving license not long ago!"

Since Naomi had mentioned that he was a little kid, he had been trying hard recently to make himself come off as more of an adult.

The first thing he did was to obtain his driving license.

To his dismay, he found out that her feelings for him would not change regardless of whether he was an adult or a child. At the end of the day, she didn't harbor feelings for him.

Naomi nodded, and then she seemed to think of something.

"Benedict, please do me a favor. When we get back on the mountain, don't tell anyone that we met Nelson."

Benedict pursed his lips while replying, "Why should I help you?"

He was filled with anger. For a moment, he was consumed by jealousy and wanted to apprise Eudora and Amos of what had happened. Naturally, his tone hardened when speaking to her.

Seeing his reaction, Naomi lowered her head again.

"Forget it!"

When Benedict saw how downcast she was, he regained his composure.

"I won't tell them!"

"Thank you, Benedict!" Naomi said.

He gave a wry smile and drove with peace of mind.

Naomi and Benedict managed to come back in time with the ingredients. After Tina's previous mishap, all of them didn't dare to let anyone cook. As a result, they set up a dining table in the courtyard to cook and serve themselves.

After having dinner, everyone was ready to watch the meteor shower.

Amos had already located the best viewing spot in the afternoon. All sorts of devices, including the telescope, had been set up as well!

Naomi went along with them for a bit. However, she had never been interested in astronomy.

In addition, she realized that all the people who were watching were all couples.

Benedict, on the other hand, was quite interested. Naomi simply observed the sky for a few seconds before she passed the telescope to Benedict.

It was a little cold on the mountain, so she put her hands into the pockets of her trousers.

She felt something cold and remembered the box that Nelson had given her in the afternoon. She took it out, turned and walked into the woods.

She laid in the hammock again and took out the item from the box.

In the moonlight, she saw a necklace in the box. It was quite simple, seemingly nothing of important value. However, Naomi liked the small wings on it.

It was like an angel.

Someone behind her asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?"

Naomi was elated. Recognizing the person's voice, she was already squealing with delight before she turned her head.

"Nelson, you're here?!"

Nelson smiled and said, "I came here by following your car. Since you said that you wanted to watch the meteor shower together, I came to keep you company."

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Naomi complained, although she secretly was overjoyed.

"You look even cuter now. I like to see your surprised reaction."

He took the necklace from Naomi and said, "I'll help you put it on."

Naomi turned around very obediently.

He praised her, "Beautiful!"

Naomi blushed and said, "You're the one who bought it, so of course it looks nice to you."

Upon hearing her words, Nelson burst into laughter.

"Silly girl!"

Naomi frowned and said, "What?"
