Chapter 1017: Chapter 1018 A Father’s Entrustment

After Amos said so, Eudora spotted Naomi and Nelson standing not far away from them.

Their relationship was now approved by Amos and Eudora. Therefore, Nelson and Naomi no longer needed to hide their relationship from others.

Although they were not as clingy as lovers were, their feelings for each other could not be hidden.

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I suddenly feel like crying again!”

“I was just kidding!” Amos changed the topic in a hurry. Then, his eyes lingered on Nelson and Naomi.

…

The wedding was a simple affair that was attended by their relatives and friends. After the end of the ceremony, when Eudora returned, she felt a little sad!

“After Naomi gets married, will she move out?”

Amos felt regretful. Why had he brought up that matter? Eudora had already been a little emotional these past few days.

“There’s no need for that!” Amos gave a hearty laugh, but a twinge of sorrow was in his heart.

“There are many rooms in our house. After Naomi gets married, she can live at home or move out. If you don’t want to be too far away from her, we could buy a house for them at Clearwater Bay! It’s just a small issue!”

After that, Eudora finally calmed down a little.

“You’re right! I’ll ask Naomi when the time comes!”

As they talked, Naomi walked out from inside. Eudora immediately turned her attention to Naomi. Only then did Amos let out a sigh of relief!

That night, Eudora and Naomi drove Amos out, and the both of them stayed in the same room.

It was a beautiful night for them to cultivate their familial relationship. Amos went downstairs dejectedly and saw Nelson standing in the living room. Then, he walked straight towards him.

“Follow me. Let’s go out for a walk!”

…

Amos and Nelson walked around the garden for more than ten minutes, but none of them spoke.

In the end, Nelson could not hold himself back and was the first to speak.

“Mr. Granger…”

“Naomi has suffered a lot since she was a child. Although she has a straightforward personality, her mental state is quite delicate. You have to remember this. Do not make her sad!”

Nelson was stunned, but he immediately nodded his head and replied, “I won’t!”

“It’s precisely because she has suffered a lot since she was a child that her mother and I have spoiled her. She doesn’t know many things. Don’t blame her for that!”

“Of course I wouldn’t!” Nelson hurriedly said as he looked towards Amos.

Amos continued, “You are the first man besides the Granger family that I trust. My precious daughter has been with us for twenty years. I will leave her to you in the future. You must take good care of her. If one day she becomes sad and says that you aren’t treating her well, I, Amos Granger, will not let you go! Do you understand?”

“I understand!” For some reason, Nelson felt a bead of cold sweat dripping down his back.

He had known that Amos had a domineering aura, but it was only after he had spoken to him in this way that he realized that Amos was not just strong, but charismatic as well!

“Do you have anything else to say to me?”

Amos asked one last time.

“Ah?” Nelson raised his eyes to look at Amos.

“Tell me whether you have anything that you’ve concealed in your past, or any other motives that you have. It’s not too late to say it now!

“As long as it doesn’t go against my morals and won’t hurt Naomi, I will pretend that nothing has happened before! However, if you don’t say it now and I find out about it in the future, then…”

His sharp gaze was fixed on Nelson’s face.

Nelson held his breath.

For a split second, he felt like he was on the verge of losing his cool! However, in the end, he was able to control himself.

“No, there’s nothing else!”

He genuinely wanted to live a good life with Naomi, but he just could not tell Amos!

If he told him everything, his relationship with Naomi would be finished!

“Alright!” Amos nodded. “You have to return tomorrow, so you should go to bed early!”

After that, Amos turned around and left.

…

Due to the fact that they had taken a sudden leave, there were still a lot of things to do in the company. Amos also wanted Naomi to slowly grow accustomed to the company’s situation.

Therefore, the next day, after Naomi and the others got up, they left immediately!

As for Amos, he and Eudora stayed behind to rest.

In the car on the way back, Naomi asked Nelson curiously.

“Did Dad have a chat with you last night?”

Nelson replied, “Yes.”

“What did he talk about?” Naomi was quite curious. She asked again, “Did he bully you again?”

Nelson felt a little amused upon hearing her use the word ‘bully’. He said, “Why? In your heart, am I that weak?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “Of course not. It’s just… you know how Dad is. His image is always so domineering, and it always feels like he’s bullying you!”

Nelson could not help but laugh while saying, “He didn’t bully me. As a father, he told me about how much he loved you, his daughter!”

“What?” Naomi was puzzled.

Nelson told Naomi everything.

When Nelson got to the part where Amos had told him about what Naomi liked to eat, she could no longer hold it in anymore.

In her heart, Amos had always been strong and strict!

Of course, he possessed fatherly love for her, but it was never expressed. He had high expectations for them. He was unlike Eudora, who had always been on good terms with them!

She thought that Amos’ love would always remain the silent type! However, it turned out that his love was just as passionate as well.

“Are you crying?”

Nelson reached out to wipe away Naomi’s tears. He said, “Mr. Granger warned me that if I let his precious daughter shed tears, he would take revenge on me! If you cry like this, will he appear immediately? For the sake of your husband’s well being, please stop crying, Naomi!”

Nelson deliberately made fun of Naomi, making her laugh.

“Since you’ve done well, I’ll hold back my tears! However, if there’s a next time, I’ll immediately summon my father to rescue me!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Cheers and laughter could be heard in the car as they headed toward Rosaville City.

When they arrived, Nelson carried the groceries from the supermarket into the house. Naomi took the key and opened the door. Just as she reached the door, a white figure suddenly appeared.

When Naomi calmed down, she noticed that a puppy had appeared. She sighed in relief and gave the puppy a friendly smile.

The puppy’s owner chased after it and said, “I’m sorry, are you alright?”

Naomi looked up and said, “Ah, it’s you! Last time, I dropped something on the road and you picked it up for me!”

The person who had appeared was Monique. She glanced at Nelson, who had just arrived. She nodded and said, “What a coincidence! You live here too? I just moved in!”

Naomi smiled and said, “It’s such a coincidence. Is this your puppy? It’s really cute!”

It reminded her of her dog, Cola, which she had kept when she was a child. However, later, Cola died of old age. After that, they never raised another dog again!

“Yes, and it seems to like you very much!” Monique laughed.

As she spoke, she extended her hand towards Naomi. Nelson, who was behind her, remembered the danger she had faced on the road last time and hurriedly rushed forward!
