Chapter 937: Chapter 937 I Was Worried That You Couldn’t Dodge It

Naomi’s mind was muddled as she was enchanted by the captivating smile of the man in front of her.

If it were in the past, a man, who had just known her for a few days, were to treat her in this way, she might have punched him right in the face and thrown him into the sea.

However, at the moment…

Before she could react, Nelson’s lips had already covered hers. She felt a faint scent of mint coming from his breath, shaking her body to its core.

She was dazzled by his charm as he took away her first kiss.

A tremendous cheer came from the crowd around them but Naomi felt that they seemed to be the only two people left in the world.

They could only feel each other’s heartbeats and breathing.

Naomi still failed to come to her senses after the round ended.

Nelson said with a smile, “We won!”

Naomi was stunned and turned to look at Nelson. When she caught the teasing expression in his eyes, she blushed and turned away.

The organizer of the event handed the tickets over to them since they had won.

“You two work together well, and it’s clear that you had a special affinity with each other. May you be blessed with happiness!”

Naomi wanted to say something, but the organizer of the event had already left.

In the end, she swallowed back her words.

Nelson stretched out his hand to hold Naomi’s hand while saying, “Let’s go! Didn’t you say you wanted to go and see the building?”

She retracted her hand for a moment before it was once again held by him.

This time, he asked solemnly, “Miss George, can I call you Naomi?”

Naomi froze briefly, her heart starting to beat faster. She felt that Nelson had something important to say to her.

She pursed her lips.

Then, she agreed, “Go ahead!”

“I…” Nelson paused for a moment before he continued, “I realized that I’ve fallen in love with you!”

Hearing that, Naomi’s heart thumped even harder.

“I…”

Originally, she wanted to say, “Isn’t it too fast for us?” She also wanted to say, “I’m conflicted about our relationship.” Most importantly, she wanted to ask, “What do you like about me?”

However, eventually, all she did was murmur a short question.

She asked, “Why me?”

Ever since she was a child, she had been learning the ways to protect herself through self defense and how to take care of her mother and her family. However, she had never learned how to be in a relationship.

When she had still been in school, the boys in her class had always thought that she was overly bossy and aloof, hence they were reluctant to chat or play with her. Meanwhile, the girls in her class were dainty and different from her.

She had never thought that someone would like her.

This person had also successfully made her heart skip a beat.

“Because…” Nelson paused before continuing, “I don’t really have a reason why. I just like the feeling of being with you, and I like your strong-willed personality. When I see you get hurt, I really want to protect you! Let me protect you, alright?”

Naomi pursed her lips and replied, “I haven’t thought about being in a relationship for the time being though!”

Nelson was dumbstruck for a moment before he laughed.

“It’s okay, I can wait for you! Take your time for I am not in a hurry.”

The two of them went silent again and there was a moment of awkwardness.

In the end, it was Nelson who continued to say, “Didn’t we say we were going to see the mysterious building? Let’s go!”

…

The two of them climbed the mountain for some distance before finally reaching the place.

From the looks of it, this place used to be the residence of a wealthy family. However, it seemed old and dilapidated due to many years of disrepair.

Although it had been renovated once by the owner of this resort, their funds were limited. The renovation had simply been done to strengthen some of the parts that were about to crumble down.

However, there was no way for it to return to its bustling and lively state.

Naomi looked at the tall weeds growing on the roof and all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart.

Suddenly, Nelson called out to her, “Look at the ornament over here, doesn’t it fit with our desired design?”

Naomi heard his voice and walked over to him. Following the direction in which he pointed at, she saw a vintage ornament whose design was rarely seen nowadays.

It looked like a combination of Eastern and Western styles.

Then, they took a closer look at the building. They realized that the entire building had been built in a remarkable way probably dating back to when Eastern culture had been spread to the lands. The combination of two different cultures really was beautiful and distinctive.

Naomi hurriedly took out her mobile phone to take photos and said, “This should be what we want.”

She was so focused that she failed to notice a trembling beam above her head.

It was a windy day, thus the beam shook even more vigorously.

It rattled with the gusts of wind until snapping abruptly with a cracking sound.

Naomi was dumbfounded. Everything was happening so fast and she subconsciously wanted to jump away from her original spot but a figure suddenly appeared from her side and shielded her front all of a sudden.

She was locked in an embrace.

Naomi heard a low groan beside her ear as Nelson took a severe blow to his back.

At that moment, Naomi was stupefied by the accident.

She panicked and asked, “Nelson, are you okay?”

Nelson replied, “I’m fine, but how about you?”

However, before his voice could die away, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down slowly.

Naomi tried her best to hold him up while saying, “Why are you so silly? I could have dodged it!”

She had practiced self defense for so many years. She was confident that her skills would have helped her to react at such a crucial moment.

However, Nelson shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I was just worried that you couldn’t dodge it!”

Naomi couldn’t help but fret about his injury.

“Let’s go down the mountain to find a doctor right away…”

After that, she carried Nelson on her back. She was indeed strong, but he was still a man, so it was really hard for her to carry him on her back.

She had no idea where her strength came from, nonetheless she managed to carry him down the mountain.

As she ran, she was still calling Nelson’s name.

“You cannot pass out! You’ll be fine!”

Nelson gave a chuckle behind her back.

“Do you know what I’m thinking now?”

Naomi did not want him to black out either, so she tried to cooperate and talk to him. She asked, “What is it?”

“I regret it! I regret that I didn’t succeed in confessing my love to you. It turned out that you’re not only proficient at your job, but you’re also incredibly strong. That’s great of you.”

Truth be told, Naomi had already changed her mind the moment she saw Nelson take the hit on her behalf.

Upon hearing this, she nodded her head.

“I agree to be your girlfriend, alright? Please, just be okay.”

However, Nelson shook his head again and said, “I don’t want you to be my girlfriend anymore! To be honest, I’m glad that you didn’t agree to be mine just now! Otherwise, if I die later on, people will say that you’re a cursed woman who brought misfortune upon your partner. I don’t want that…”

Naomi was both annoyed and amused at the same time.

“How can you go back on your words after our agreement? That’s not the proper mannerism of a cultured man. Let me tell you, I’m bad-tempered, so I won’t allow you to renege your promise to me. You’d better not do it, or else I’ll throw you down the mountain!”

Although she said so, her hold on him grew even tighter.
