Daddy’s Doting Addiction

Chapter 14

Naomi changed into a white dress that showed off her petite figure. It seemed to have made her glow too.

Her long hair was tied into a bun. It was graceful, yet not compromising on her bubbly youthfulness.

On her fair face were two huge watery eyes filled with vivacity.

She was pretty and elegant, utterly gorgeous.

Even Sean, who was used to seeing beautiful celebrities, took a second look too.

Naomi gently lifted her skirt and spun around for Jack, showing off.

"So, Daddy, are you satisfied with my outfit?" Naomi had utilized her utmost professional attitude to pick a dress that elderly people would love the most. She was definitely cooperating as best as she could.

Jack soon retracted his gaze. He said indifferently, "It's alright."

Naomi's face darkened instantly!

Tsk! Straight men! No wonder he was still single at his age!

The two of them left the salon and headed for Hough Mansion. On the way, Sean passed Naomi a stack of documents.

"Miss Green, tonight's gathering is only with Old Mister Hough. The other relatives are not in Gin City. You only need to familiarize yourself with Sir's likes and dislikes. Just don't blow your cover."

"Okay! Give me a pen!" Naomi accepted the documents. She raised her eyebrow at Sean and said in a rather domineering way.

Sean subconsciously passed her a pen. When he came around to his senses only then did he realize. What the hell? He actually obeyed that chick's order!

Naomi lowered her head and scribbled on the piece of paper. Then, she stuffed them into Jack's hand. She raised her eyebrows and said, "These are my likes and dislikes. You have to know them well too. Don't blow your cover in front of my family in the future!"

They were both employees. No one could order the other about.

"Okay," Jack replied distractedly. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the piece of paper, not saying anything.

Naomi had initially only wanted to provoke Jack. She never would have thought that he would accept it.

She suddenly lost interest and started going through the thick stack of documents seriously.

[Jack Hough, 27 years old, 185 centimeters tall. Absolutely dislikes carrots…]

"I see you don't like to eat carrots as well. A boy I used to know also dislikes …" Naomi said subconsciously. However, Jack did not even look up.

Naomi thought that it was pointless, so she stopped talking and continued looking at the document.

On Jack's side, he looked at a line of words on the paper and squinted his eyes.

[Naomi Green. Hates cilantro. Cilantro is the worst thing on earth!]

Suddenly, Jack had a flashback to 10 years ago…

Jack was kidnapped and accidentally lost his vision. He ended up in an orphanage. The kids in the orphanage bullied him for being blind. Only a little girl stayed by his side through it all.

However, during meals, she would sneakily remove the cilantro from her plate and put it on his.

"Why don't you eat cilantro?"

"What? How do you know? Can you see?"

"I can hear."

"I'm sorry, but don't you feel that cilantro is the worst thing on earth?"

Jack never would have expected to see the exact same words 10 years later! He looked up and looked at Naomi closely with a complex expression.

"Ten years ago, have you ever been to Spring…" Even though he had already checked up on her and there was no possibility, Jack still asked.

Screech!

The Rolls-Joyce stopped suddenly. His words were drowned by the sudden brakes. Naomi did not hear his questions.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." Jack pursed his lips. His expressions turned even colder and serious. He felt as if it was just an illusion a moment ago.

At that moment, the car door was opened by Smith, the butler.

"Mister Hough, you're finally here! Old Mister Hough has been anxiously waiting for you!" Smith said. He subconsciously looked at Naomi.

"Hello, Mister Smith. I'm Naomi Green." Naomi straightened her back and introduced herself politely.

When her mother was still around, she would bring Naomi to all sorts of social gatherings. Naomi did not forget her social etiquettes.

"Miss Green, you're too polite! Call me Smith."

Naomi's courteous attitude made Smith smile even more sincerely.

Jack side-eyed her. He raised his elbow a little. Naomi was stunned for a while, but she then naturally wrapped her arm around his the very next second.

Smith was stunned by this action. Sean's reaction was the same too. They were so stunned their jaws dropped.

Jack did not refuse Naomi's touch!

The huge Hough Mansion had a Renaissance Garden style. It was solemn and majestic. Naomi looked around and felt her pressure grow.

No wonder they say that it was hard to marry the rich. It seemed like the act she was going to have to put on that day was going to be a challenging one.

At that moment, a low and calm voice came from beside her. "Later, just eat more and talk less."

"Okay," Naomi replied. She did not know why but she felt calm.

Jack unnaturally turned his head to the side. His expressions were cold and hardened. He was not comforting her. He only hoped that she would not ruin the dinner because she was too nervous.

The two of them walked across the corridor finally into the main hall. She finally saw the legendary Old Mister Hough of the Hough family.

"Bloody brat! You finally brought my precious granddaughter-in-law to see me!" Although Old Mister Hough had a head full of white hair, his voice was still loud and bright.

She did not know why but when Naomi saw Old Mister Hough, she felt an inexplicable liking towards him, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Hello, Old Mister Hough. I am Naomi Green." Naomi stuck to the script she rehearsed in the car a moment ago and greeted Old Mister Hough with a smile.

Old Mister Hough's gaze fell on their intertwined arms. He smiled even wider.

"Sure, sure, sure. We're family. You don't have to be so polite. I bet you're hungry, right? Come have a seat! We'll serve dinner soon!" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Naomi let go of Jack and sat next to Old Mister Hough.

At that moment, Old Mister Hough gently let out a cough. Naomi immediately looked over at him.

Naomi had been practicing medicine. She could immediately sense that something was wrong from Old Mister Hough's cough and his face. His face was blushing, but the surrounding of his eyes and lips were pale. This was a classic case of nutritional imbalance!

"Old Mister Hough, are you…"

"Dinner is ready! Old Mister Hough has made us work hard for this dinner!"

Naomi was about to ask Old Mister Hough when she was interrupted by the serving of dinner.

She thought for a while and decided not to meddle in any affairs. All she needed to do was play along.

At that moment, Smith deliberately placed a plate of stewed beef with carrots in front of Jack. Smith then looked at Old Mister Hough before announcing, "Mister Hough, your favorite dish! Enjoy!"

Then, Smith and Old Mister Hough started observing in silence.

Naomi raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, they were testing her…
