Daddy’s Doting Addiction

Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Was it really that difficult for the stubborn Prince of Gin City to offer a simple apology? At that moment, Jack and Naomi’s pod approached the highest point of the Ferris wheel A giant bunch of heart- shaped balloons floated past their eyes outside the pod. Moments later, they began their descent. “I’ll introduce some of the best phones with good encryption functions to you,” Naomi chimed. As a hacker, she naturally had a knack for the latest technology. She picked out the links of a few phones and sent them to Jack “I’ll take a look.” Jack scrolled through his phone as he pondered the question he wanted to ask at the haunted house. He knew that it was impossible, but he could not stop thinking about it. A tender expression appeared as the rays from the setting sun touched the side of his clean shaven face. The casual, white hoodie he wore was in stark contrast with the sternness of his usual black suits. It brought out a certain youthfulness in him. He almost looked like a popular college senior.

Naomi stared at Jack in stunned silence. Why did he remind her of Mister Long Legs? “There’s something I want to ask you!” “There’s something I want to ask you!” To their surprise, they both spoke up at the same time. Jack raised an eyebrow, signaling for Naomi to speak first. “Go ahead.” “When you came to save me that night, did you see a clean-cut, handsome young man in a white shirt? He held a transparent umbrella, and he should’ve been standing right in front of me…” Naomi did her best to describe the young man in detail. She was worried that Jack had forgotten. “No!” Jack snapped as his expression turned ice cold. He had no idea why he denied it so vehemently. All he knew was that he felt annoyed recalling how Naomi once mentioned how she liked younger filen. “I sec,” Naomi replied in disappointment. “I guess I really did imagine it. There’s no way Mister Long Legs would be that young after all

these years.” “What did you say?” Jack’s head snapped up, and his dark eyes shot straight to Naomi. He thought she mentioned a familiar name that he had not heard in ten years! “It’s nothing. I was just talking to myself. So, what did you want to ask me?” Naomi was dejected and did not want to continue the topic. “I…” Their pod arrived at the end of the ride just as Jack was about to speak, and an announcement came through the speakers. “We have come to the end of the Ferris wheel ride. Please take all of your belongings and exit the pod in an orderly manner.” At the end of the announcement, Naomi asked, “What did you say? I couldn’t hear you.” Jack blinked and replied nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.” “Okay,” Naomi responded. She figured that it probably was not an important question. As they left the amusement park, Jack had to stop by the office, so Sean sent Naomi home. Naomi noticed that Sean made multiple attempts to turn his head and say something on the car ride home, but he stopped every time. When they finally arrived at Hough Mansion, Sean called out for Naomi just as she was about to get out of the car. “Miss Naomi!” “Say what you need to say, Sean. You’ve held back the whole car ride here. Isn’t that uncomfortable?” Naomi teased as she crossed her arms and glanced playfully at Sean. “The night you got in trouble, Mister Hough purposely worked late just so he could finish early. He made me book the earliest flight back and even bought a bunch of snacks from Royal City for you. He was only mad because he didn’t see you when he got home.” “He bought snacks for me?” Naomi’s jaw dropped. She was at a loss for words. She could hardly believe that the bitter old man would come home early just to see her, let alone buy snacks for her. How long had it been since someone cared for her like that? Naomi held her chest as she felt the toughest parts of her stone-cold heart begin to melt.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
