Daddy’s Doting Addiction

Chapter 15

"Mister Smith, you got it wrong. It is because he used to eat too many carrots, that the food he hates most now are carrots."

Naomi placed her utensils down and looked at Smith seriously.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! I've got it wrong. Must be my old age." Smith slapped his forehead, pretended to be sorry, and immediately took away the plate with carrots.

Sure enough, Old Mister Hough was even more delighted. He instructed Smith, "Serve Naomi some soup."

Then, he smiled and turned to look at Naomi benevolently and excitedly, "Our soup is amazing. You must try it."

"Uh, thank you," Naomi gave a fake smile and accepted the soup. She was extremely against it in her heart. Why did the soup have to have cilantro, the one food she hated the most!

Just when Naomi was hesitating on whether she should taste it or not, a huge hand came over and took away the bowl of soup.

"You don't like cilantro. Don't drink it." Jack's tone was still aloof but seemed natural, as if the two of them had been together for a long time. They were like a couple who cared for each other.

"Hahaha. My good grandson! This time you're not lying to me!"

Old Mister Hough slammed the table happily when he saw the intimate interaction between the two of them.

Naomi looked at Jack gratefully. Jack aloofly looked away, dousing her affectionate feelings.

Naomi was a little stunned. She smiled self-deprecatingly. She over-thought it.

"I'm so happy today!" Old Mister Hough picked up his glass of wine and a grilled pork knuckle, stuffing them in his mouth.

Naomi could not help but gently remind, "Old Mister Hough, it seems like you have a serious inflammation of sorts. Alcohol and heavy foods are quite bad for you. Why don't you have something else?"

Upon Naomi's words, Jack suddenly turned to look at her with a darkened gaze. Only people close to Old Mister Hough knew about his condition. How did she know about it?

Could it be that Sean was right? He should not have brought her there?

Naomi felt as if the atmosphere was not right. She turned and asked Jack in a suppressed tone, "Did I say something wrong?"

Before Jack could answer, Old Mister Hough said, "Naomi is right. No wonder my condition hasn't gotten any better all these years. Take them away. I'll have something else!"

Jack looked at his grandfather. He could not bear to make him unhappy, so he chuckled a little, but his laughter did not reach his eyes.

"You said nothing wrong."

Naomi looked at him. She thought something was off. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

At that moment, Old Mister Hough started chatting with her, so Naomi no longer gave it any thought.

However, she did not expect that what Old Mister Hough said next would baffle her!

"You two are really fated. I arranged for this brat to have a blind date with the Greens. Who would have thought that you two already registered your marriage? You have saved me a huge effort."

"Blind date?" Naomi's eyes widened in disbelief. How did she not hear about her blind date with Jack? She thought back to the phone call she heard the day before and she suddenly understood.

Initially, it was supposed to be her blind date with Jack, yet Scott set up Clarissa to take her place instead so that Clarissa could marry into a rich family!

To prevent the Houghs from coming after them in the future, that was why they desperately wanted to marry Naomi off to the pervert!

Heh! They could throw her under the bus and yet Clarissa gets to marry into a rich family!

This was the doing of her biological father!

Naomi smiled miserably and chuckled bitterly.

Coincidentally, Jack saw her smiling and misread it into something else.

Had he truly been duped by this kid? Was it all a set up from the marriage the day before to the dinner that night?

They were both thinking about different things. The atmosphere turned cold. Only Old Mister Hough did not notice it.

He still asked Jack with a smile, "You can't just have a secret marriage. When are you planning to have the wedding?"

"We…"

Slam!

Naomi said hesitantly when the door was pushed open. A girl covered in jewelry rushed in.

"Andrea? Why are you here?"

When Naomi saw Andrea, she was stunned. Andrea used to be a bully in school, Naomi could not take it, so she fought back. They have had a grudge against each other ever since.

"Hmph! Of course, I'm here to expose you! You liar!" Andrea sneered and glared at Naomi fiercely.

"Andrea, don't be so rude! She is your future cousin!" Old Mister Hough reprimanded his granddaughter, but Andrea had no intention of stopping.

"Grandpa! Jack! Don't be duped by her! Naomi is the worst problematic girl in our school! She not only smokes, drinks, and fights! She fools around too! This morning she was still being intimate with another guy! This b*tch is here to cheat us of our money!"

"Andrea, what nonsense are you talking about?" Naomi jumped up and angrily asked.

"Heh, stop pretending. I have proof." Andrea smugly glanced at Naomi and took a stack of photos out. The photos were all of Naomi with different men…
