Chapter 956: Chapter 956 She Couldn’t Help It

Naomi was in contemplation when her colleague next to her noticed her.

Her colleague asked, “What’s wrong? Look at you, you’re like a young girl longing for love. Are you going on a date?”

Doubtlessly, her colleague was incredibly perceptive.

She could see through Naomi at once.

Before Naomi had a chance to explain herself, her colleague said, “Since it’s a date, you must dress up properly! You usually wear a pantsuit or sportswear so I think you should try putting on a dress!”

Naomi was taken aback as she asked, “A dress?”

The last time she had put on a dress was when she was five or six years old.

She had never worn a dress again, especially after beginning to practice self defense.

“A dress would be inconvenient, wouldn’t it?”

“What’s so inconvenient about that? What kind of girl doesn’t wear a dress? You should know that dresses are the best garment to show off a girl’s charm!”

Naomi struggled to reply, “Fine, I’ll give it a try then.”

After that, her colleague kindly brought her to a boutique that she frequented. She picked out a dress for Naomi and helped her to put on some makeup.

Some time later, Naomi was about to take a look at herself in front of the mirror when her cell phone rang.

It was Nelson and he asked, “Where are you? I’ll pick you up!”

Naomi told him the address of the boutique.

Then, she looked at her colleague nervously, “Do I look alright? Do I need to change my clothes?”

Her colleague reassured her resolutely, “There’s no need for that! You’re more gorgeous than the current actresses and celebrities in showbiz!”

Naomi reckoned that her colleague was exaggerating, but in reality, she really wasn’t.

In the past, Eudora had once been the most beautiful woman in Rosaville City. Coupled with Amos’s handsomeness, their children would naturally be good-looking as well.

It was just that Naomi had never cared about her appearances.

“Alright, alright. Stop worrying about it! I can guarantee that your boyfriend will like it a lot. Just go out and wait for him to come!”

…

Nelson hung up on the call while Richard’s lips curved into a smile.

“Mr. Luther, you’re infatuated with her, aren’t you? You’ve just been discharged from the hospital, yet you’re already going on a date? By the way, I can’t imagine what outfit Miss George will turn up in.”

Nelson pursed his lips and said, “That’s none of your business!”

Richard was startled but still he said, “You’re already defending her! How can you still insist that you aren’t in love with her?”

Nelson furrowed his brow and said, “Stop talking nonsense and mind your own business.”

Richard shut up and said, “Fine, it’s all my fault.”

Just then, the driver in the front reminded him, “Sir, we’ve arrived!”

Before Nelson got out of the car, Richard, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was already awed.

“Wow, I’m so lucky today. I saw a great beauty standing by the roadside!”

Nelson was about to get out of the car and he didn’t care to look back, only reprimanding in a low voice, “You better behave yourself!”

“But she’s really as pretty as those popular actresses!”

Nelson raised his head and looked curiously at the person mentioned by Richard, dazzled in an instant.

The girl in front of him was wearing a white dress with fluffy feather-like adornment which had taken away the toughness of her aura. Instead, Naomi looked elegant and graceful, full of femininity.

She did not tie up her long hair behind her head as usual. Instead, her long locks tumbled over her shoulders down loosely and she only had a diamond-studded hairpin clasped on her left side.

No matter how he looked at her, she looked as gentle and amiable as the girl next door.

He couldn’t help but recall what Naomi had looked like when he had seen her for the first time. At that time, they were still in the Granger family.

Back then, Naomi was only six years old. She wore a white princess dress and looked like a doll.

Her big eyes were so captivating that she attracted people’s attention at a glance.

Nelson was lost in thought when Richard opened the door and got of the car.

“Sir, why aren’t you heading over to your date? I’m going to approach that wonderful beauty over there.”

Nelson’s heart skipped a beat as he shouted at Richard in a low voice, “Stay where you are!”

“That’s Naomi!”

A look of shock crossed Richard’s face as he said in disbelief, “What?”

“Get back here!”

After that, Nelson no longer waited for Richard’s response. He immediately stepped out of the car and walked towards Naomi.

It wasn’t until Richard saw him holding Naomi’s hand and the two of them walked away that Richard suddenly came to a realization.

“She really is Naomi!”

…

Naomi had been waiting for Nelson, but before she could even react, he had already pulled her away.

Not only had she worn a dress, but she had also been cajoled by her colleague into putting on a pair of high heels. As a result, she was almost unable to walk after being tugged on by him.

“Nelson, what are you doing?”

Noticing that Naomi felt a little uncomfortable while wearing high heels, Nelson frowned.

He ordered her, “Please don’t wear this kind of shoes in the future!”

Naomi agreed with him and said, “I think so too. My feet are hurting!”

“And this dress too! Don’t wear it ever again!”

Upon hearing that, Naomi grew a little sad and asked, “Is it no good?”

Nelson blurted out, “It doesn’t look good on you!”

Naomi felt discouraged.

After all, it was still a date. Everyone would be disheartened if their partner’s first impression of them was negative.

However, Amos had said that she must remain calm all the time so that people would not be able to see through her.

She took a deep breath and was about to answer him.

However, in the next second, Nelson reacted again.

This time, he complimented her, “It looks gorgeous on you!”

After saying so, Nelson was also confused by his own actions.

He had no idea why he felt uncomfortable upon seeing her disappointment.

However, Naomi was incredibly pleased to hear his compliment.

“Although I know that you might just be comforting me, I’m still elated. Thank you!”

Naomi beamed at him and said, “Let’s go. Aren’t we going to have dinner?”

Feeling a little exasperated, Nelson thought to himself with tenderness in his eyes, “Silly girl!”

…

Their destination was near their meeting spot, thus the two of them walked over there by foot.

They had to cross a street halfway through the route. Unfortunately, it was difficult for Naomi to walk with high heels. Nelson, who had originally been leading the way in front of her, came back and held her hand at the sight of her clumsiness.

Naomi felt the caress of his heat on her hand, the feeling spreading across her body.

“So, this is how love feels like,” she paused and thought about it.

Then, she couldn’t help but think about a scene in a drama that she had watched, one where a couple were holding hands while crossing the street. To her, it looked so romantic.

A shadow flashed past her abruptly.

Someone shouted behind them, “Stop! You thief!”

Naomi came into her senses soon after that shout. She let go of Nelson’s hand, took off her high heels, hitched up her dress and chased after the thief, barefooted.

“Stop right there!”

Nelson watched in dismay as she ran after the thief. He shouted at her, “Naomi!”

However, Naomi was unable to hear his calls at all because she was so focused on chasing the thief. She threw one of her high heels and it struck the thief’s leg. Consequently, he fell to the ground.

Naomi quickly came up to him and stepped on his chest.

“I dare you to run again!”

Nelson caught up to them shortly afterwards. He couldn’t help but hold his face in his hands and grit his teeth as he said to her, “Naomi, I can’t believe you did all that despite wearing a dress!”
