Chapter 58
Jack stopped smiling and casually reminded her about the leftovers.
“I’ll go and have a look.” Naomi headed to the kitchen immediately. She remembered the suit and
turned back to him.
“That suit suits you a lot.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Jack acted like he did not like the suit and responded indifferently. Then, he went back to his room.
Naomi walked to the kitchen to look for food. When she saw the red box on the dining table, she
screamed excitedly.
“Ah!!! It’s Creek’s Barbecue! Creek’s Barbecue!”
Naomi did not expect the so-called leftovers to be from Creek’s Barbecue! The takeaway barbecue was
still hot!
She had been craving barbecue for a long time!
Jack could hear the little girl’s excited scream from his room. He did not have to look. He could imagine
her excitement.
“Isn’t it just barbecue? Does she have to be this excited?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJack picked up the suit and looked at it with disdain.
Bang! Someone opened the bedroom door. In the next second, Naomi came running into his arms!
“Handsome Daddy! I love you the most!”
Jack wanted to prevent her from running into him, but he changed his mind the moment he saw her
excitement. He caught her in his arms.
Naomi had been running too quickly and she crashed straight into him. It made him lose balance, and
they both ended up falling on the small bed.
Naomi found herself sitting on his waist. It was so embarrassing for her to be in such an awkward
position.
“Uh,”
Naomi squirmed uncomfortably. Her body stiffened suddenly.
Oh my! My goodness!
Naomi’s flushed red in embarrassment. She froze like a statue.
“Get down!”
Jack’s expression had turned dark. His voice grew a little hoarse.
“Oh! Okay!”
Naomi quickly climbed off his legs. Jack got up and looked at her. His gaze was inscrutable. His throat
grew dry.
When she had bounded toward him, he had actually felt something for her. Impossible. The one thing
that he absolutely hated was touching women.
“I’m so sorry. I just wanted to thank you and ask you if you wanted to share the barbecue.”
Naomi apologized obediently, just like how she had always done. She did not expect Jack to buy her
barbecue for dinner. She was over-excited and had acted rashly.
“I don’t eat barbecue.”
Jack quietly declined.
“Hey, just give it a try! Barbecue is meant to be shared! It’s boring to eat alone-“.
Naomi’s love for barbecue overtook her earlier embarrassment.
She grabbed Jack’s wrist and subconsciously acted coquettishly as she
pulled Jack out of his room.
About three minutes later, a certain Prince of Gin City that refused to eat barbecue sat at the dining
table. While he stared at the food, he reflected on his life choices.
He convinced himself that he was eating with her because he pitied her!
“Which sauce do you want?”
“Sesame sauce.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJack answered without hesitation.
“Sure thing! I’ll mix it for you!”
Naomi mixed the barbecue sauce with passion. Then, she put the ingredients onto the hotplate with
enthusiasm. She was clearly enjoying it.
Jack turned and watched Naomi. He watched the rising steam brush against her face. Somehow, the
soft yellow light added a little bit of warmth to her.
She was so youthful and beautiful. She was temptation, inviting others to her.
Ever since he turned eighteen, he hated staying in the same room with anyone, let alone an unfamiliar
woman. However, looking at things now… Maybe it would not be too bad.
The dark, locked room in his heart was slowly being unlocked by Naomi’s light which forced its way in.
Her light had squeezed its way through the gap of the tightly shut doors and touched his heart before
he even noticed it.
“Can we have more barbecue at home in the future?”
Naomi looked at Jack. Her eyes were full of hope. She looked extremely adorable with her sparkly doe
like eyes tempting others to pat her.
“It’ll depend on your performance.”
Jack smiled slightly. He felt like it, so he placed his hand on her head and gently patted her.
Naomi was stunned and turned completely speechless! When he patted her, Naomi felt a strange
lightning-like sensation pulsating through her whole body! Her heart thumped uncontrollably!
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
She had never felt such a strange emotion before. She froze, feeling lost. What was wrong with her?
