Chapter 42
“Also, even if you’re just putting on an act, if the girl is to marry into our family, you have 10 promise me one thing, that is…”
In the basement parking lot.
After an hour, Jack finally arrived. Naomi noticed the bag of medication in his hands. She furrowed her brows and asked concernedly, “Are you sick?”,
“It’s for you.” Jack pretended to nonchalantly throw the bag in Naomi‘s lap. He observed Naomi’s reaction through the corner of his eyes via the rearview mirror
Naomi looked into the bag. It was medication for bruises. She instantly smiled widely.
So, he did notice the bruises on her body!
“Thank you, Mister Daddy!” Naomi thanked him sincerely. Jack pursed his lips into a little smile. A sense of haughty awkwardness flashed across his face.
“Don‘t think too much into it. This is to thank you for saving Grandpa.”
“I know.” Naomi nodded. This man truly did not know how to read the room.
“But I have to clarify. I rescued Old Mister Hough because I wanted to, not because I wanted to gain your favor or anything.” She had to clarify that she did not need a reason to save anyone.
“I know. You did well.” Upon hearing what she said, Jack smiled.
“You did well too.” Naomi thought about how Jack treated Clarissa. Also, when she was rescuing Old Mis ter Hough, he firmly pulled her hand. She could not help but smile brightly.
Coincidentally, right at that moment, the car exited from the underground parking lot. The bright sun shon e into the car, the atmosphere was warm and cozy.
“By the way, according to our deal, does that mean I get to sleep on the bed tonight?” Naomi suddenly thought about the deal they made that morning. This had to d o with the quality of her sleep!
“Deal?”
They stopped right in front of a traffic light. Jack stopped the car and turned to look at Naomi with a mischievou s smile.
“Did I agree to it?”
Naomi‘s smile instantly plastered onto her face. A bad feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.
“You said it this morning!”
“I said I‘ll consider it. Now that I’ve considered it, you’ll continue to sleep on the sofa.”
“You tricked me!” Naomi was unhappy. She wanted to pounce on him and beat him up!
It was too bad the disparity in power was too huge. She could only puff up angrily like a pufferfish.
“All is fair in war, child.”
Seeing how angry she looked, Jack smiled in satisfaction.
“You‘re just being unreasonable! Bad Mister Daddy!” Naomi glared at him. She wanted to take back what
she said a moment ago. He did not do well at all that day!
Rumble!
At that moment, her stomach growled awkwardly. Naomi touched her tummy and side–glanced Jack.
“Then, can I have Creek’s Barbecue tonight? I‘m sure I deserved it, right?”
“No.’ Jack refused without thinking. He could not stand the smell of barbecue. It was too heavy.
“Let’s eat something else.”
“No! Stop by the metro stop entrance in front, I‘m getting down,” Naomi said angrily.
“Why? Where are you going?” Jack asked.
Naomi was extremely furious, so she chided without thinking, “We‘re not real husband and wife, why do you care where I’m going?”
The moment she said that she saw Jack’s expressions darkened. Naomi realized that she spoke without thinking. She never thought to be so sharp–tongued.

The car suddenly stopped, and Naomi almost flew out.
“Get out!” Jack said coldly. He looked in front, not looking at Naomi.
“What are you doing? We‘re not at the metro stop yet.” Naomi was confused.
Jack smiled ambiguously. His eyes were filled with coldness.
“Since I can‘t ask about you, I don‘t have to send you there either. We‘re not real husband and wife. You s yourself.”
“Fine! I‘ll get out!” Naomi raised her eyebrows. Her stubborn temper flared. She opened the door, got out o
Swoosh!
Jack immediately drove off. The car brought up a cloud of dust, choking Naomi in the process.
“Cough, cough, cough! That irritable prick!” Naomi coughed while cursing Jack. At that moment, her phone rang. It was a call from her best friend, Susan.
