Chapter 975: Chapter 975 What’s Mine Is Yours

Naomi looked at the pan with much anxiety.

“This won’t explode, right?”

Nelson shook his head and reassured her, “No, it won’t. You can put it in slowly!”

Naomi held the piece of salmon in her hands and moved forward towards the pan a little. Then, she backed away in a timid way.

She said, “I’m still a little scared!”

At the moment, she was no longer as tough as she had been when she fought with those men that night. She had become like a little girl who was facing her fears. It was an adorable scene.

Nelson really loved the way she looked at the moment.

He reached out his hand and held her arm as he cajoled, “Slowly put it down like this…”

Before his voice faded, the water on the salmon came into contact with the oil on the pan, making some noise and frightening Naomi. As a result, she jumped straight into Nelson.

Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and her arms were tightly wound around his neck.

“Didn’t you say it wouldn’t explode?”

Nelson could not help but laugh and say, “It really didn’t!”

Naomi turned around in doubt, only to hear the sizzling sound of the pan of oil behind her. The salmon that she had placed was already smelling good.

“There really was no explosion!”

“So, why don’t you come down from me now?”

Naomi was embarrassed and hurriedly let go of her grip. She did not forget to check on his injuries. She asked, “Are you alright? How do you feel? Your wounds didn’t split open, right?”

Nelson shook his head and said, “Of course not. How can I be that weak?”

Naomi let out a sigh of relief and turned to slowly observe the salmon.

“You can flip the salmon over now!” Nelson reminded her. Naomi replied in assent and hurriedly turned the salmon over to its other side.

With the mishap just now, Naomi was no longer that nervous.

Later onwards, under Nelson’s instructions, she finished preparing all the dishes.

After a long hustle, she finally knew how hard it was to cook. She looked back at how often Sugar Bun and herself had asked their mom to cook for them. Doing so must have been hard on her.

“Go and get changed. It’s time to eat!” Nelson reminded her. Only then did she come back to her senses.

She replied, “Alright!”

Naomi was covered with the smell of raw salmon and smoke. So, she decided to take a bath. After changing into clean clothes, she came out.

As soon as she opened the door, the room was dark!

Naomi was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at her room.

There was no power outage!

“Nelson?” Naomi called out in a low voice. At the same time, a sudden ‘click’ sounded from the dining area, and a flame was ignited.

A candle could be seen vaguely.

“Come here, quick!”

Naomi closed the bedroom door behind her and slowly walked over. Nelson had set up a candlelight dinner.

As soon as Naomi walked over, Nelson reached out his hand to help her pull back her seat.

Naomi noticed that Nelson had changed his clothes. He wore a dark grey suit, which had been brought by Richard, and looked very stylish.

Just as she looked at the table, she heard a teasing chuckle.

“What’s wrong? Why are you staring so blankly?”

Naomi came back to her senses and said, “I’m not…”

Nelson did not expose her. Instead, he picked up the glass in front of him and twirled it, “Would you like to try some? I’ve asked Richard to prepare this!”

Naomi did not hesitate and picked up the glass to take a sip.

“It’s good.”

As the daughter of Amos Granger, although there were many things that she disliked, she still needed to be knowledgeable in them. After all, she was still the daughter of a rich and powerful family. She could not be laughed at when she was outside.

Upon seeing her calm appearance, Nelson remembered the time when he had first started to go to school. Due to his lack of knowledge regarding this matter since childhood, he had spent an immense amount of effort to study them.

At that time, even the teacher had laughed at him.

His eyes darkened as he looked back at those past memories. He then suppressed them in his brain.

“It’s good that you like it! Let’s taste the dishes that you’ve cooked.”

This time, Naomi was a little hesitant.

She was a little suspicious as she asked, “Are they really edible?”

Nelson picked up a piece of food with a fork and put it in his mouth. He exclaimed, “It’s delicious!”

Naomi’s eyes lit up. She took a bite and swallowed it without any expectations.

“It’s so salty!”

That dish required some salt. However, since she was a beginner, she had failed to put in the correct amount of salt in the dish as Nelson had instructed.

Perhaps due to being in a state of frenzy, she had added double the amount of salt required into the dish.

It was so salty that tears came out from her eyes. She jumped to look for some water to drink.

“It’s too salty!”

Nelson had originally wanted to joke around with her, but now that he noticed that she was in actual pain, he also got up and helped her to get the iced water.

Even after drinking the cup of water, she could still taste the salt.

Naomi’s tongue was stinging. Her mother had a colorful palette. Although Naomi loved savory dishes, she had never eaten such a salty dish before.

Naomi could no longer feel her tongue.

“What should I do? It’s still really salty…”

Nelson frowned and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t think that it was that salty.”

Naomi shook her head and wanted to say that it was not his fault. However, the next instant, Nelson had already lowered his head and kissed her on his lips.

Naomi was stunned. She tried to stop him but could only afford to mumble a few words, “Hmph… What are you doing?”

Nelson curved his lips and said, “Didn’t we say that we would share our joys and hardships? So, we’ll also share the same food.”

After that, he lowered his head again.

The candlelight added to the flirtatious atmosphere of the room.

Perhaps it was because she had drank some wine, or perhaps it was because she was in love, it was only when Naomi was laid on the bed with Nelson in her arms that she came to her senses. They seemed to have gone a little overboard.

Naomi looked at Nelson who got up and walked toward the bathroom. She rubbed her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed as she thought of how things had escalated to this point.

Just as she was in deep contemplation, Nelson opened the door and came out from the bathroom.

“Stop overthinking!”

Naomi was embarrassed and turned around as her ears turned a little red. She asked, “Why didn’t you put on your clothes?”

Nelson lowered his head to look at himself. He wasn’t stark naked but only shirtless, with a bath towel covering his body.

“I thought you’ve seen my whole body already?”

Naomi covered her face and demanded, “Stop! Stop right there!”

Nelson smiled and said, “Alright, alright! I thought my girlfriend wouldn’t be so shy though.”

Naomi said shyly, “I-I better return to my room…”

However, before she could go out, Nelson pulled her back.

“This is your room!”

“No, this is yours!”

“What’s mine is yours!”

Nelson took Naomi into his arms once again as he said, “When we leave here tomorrow, I will find a way to talk to Mr. Granger about our marriage.”

Naomi was stunned and said, “No, don’t do that. It’s better for me to speak to my parents first!”

She felt that she had really been too bold this time. She had a short fuse and liked to stick to her own decisions ever since she was a child.

However, this was the first time that she did not listen to her parents.

She had no idea what kind of resistance she would face from the Granger family. She only knew that this problem would definitely not be easy to solve.

Even so, Naomi was still filled with hope when she thought of being together with the person she loved.

She finally understood how her parents had gone through so many ups and downs together.
