Chapter 108

When Naomi heard the surname “Edwards“, she was stunned for a moment. She was already ten years old when she was adopted by Javier and

Victoria

Naomi was informed by Vera that when she was

e was picked up at the orphanage door, her name and birthday were found in the swaddling cloth.

Therefore, the name Naomi was not given to her by the Edwards family, nor by the orphanage.

Looking at her stunned look, Shawn knew what she was thinking.

“The person who has abandoned you for the first time will abandon you for the second time. Just be with me. I won’t abandon you”

Naomi lowered her head. After a long while, she said slowly. “Shawn, you are really annoying sometimes. You make me feel I have no secrets”

Shawn chuckled and said. “I have reminded you that if your acting skill is bad, you will easily be seen through. You’d better be yourself in front of

1. mc.

Naomi thought for a while and thought his words made sense. Shawn didn’t like women, but she was the only woman who could get close to him but was not hated by him. Wasn’t this her trump card?

Even though Shawn felt angry after he knew that he had been regarded as a substitute, he still took Naomi back.

Naomi knew she was special to Shawn.

So, she became happy again

Naomi smiled and said. “Thank you, Shawn.”

“Huh?” Shawn looked at Naomi’s pretty face and couldn’t help smiling. “You are getting more and more unruly, Naomi

“Because you spalled me.”

Naomi went to a restaurant with 5

Shawn happily. Although she wasn’t a picker eater, she liked delicious food only.

Shawn took Naomi to a private room, and she didn’t need to order any dishes. After a while, the waiter began to serve the exquisite dishes. Though each portion was modest, the table quickly filled up with a lavish variety of delicacies.

After washing the coffee cup, Shawn slowly poured himself a cup of coffee, and Naomi had milk served by the waiter.

“Dig in.”

Shawn smiled as Naomi picked up a plece and placed it in her mouth. The sweetness was just right. Naomi, who didn’t usually have desserts, found it to be delicious.

It was a big plate with only a small cake.

Naomi felt the food here was expensive and not enough to fill her stomach.

But she still enjoyed it.

Shawn ate very little. He just watched Naomi cat. When she was chewing food, her cheeks bulged up, and she was very careful not to make any noise. When she had something delicious, she would unconsciously narrow her eyes with a smile, and when she had something she didn’t like, she would frown slightly.

Although Naomi ate quietly, she showed a great lot of expressions on her face

Shawn liked to see her eating

He slowly sipped a cup of coffee. Naomi obediently and quietly tasted all kinds of delicious food. After eating the small cake, she ate a piece of goose liver. She used to be starved at the Edwards manor, but she had a lot of delicious food after she was with Shawn.

Each dish was delicate and in small quantity. Although there were many dishes on the table, after eating them all, Naomi still

But she was too embarrassed to say it

a little hungry.

Some women always ate very little to keep their figures, and some would go to vomit after they finished eating, Naomi couldn’t eat whatever she liked and was often starved when she lived at the Edwards manor. However, during this period of time with Shawn, she had exten many delicious and nutritious foods, but she didn’t gain weight because once she was tired, she would lose weight. Anyway, Naomi didn’t have to worry about her weight

After dinner, Shawn left the restaurant with Naomi

Chapter 108

“The award ceremony will be held in three days. I’ll take you to choose a dress”

Naomi nodded and said, “Okay!”

“Is Styling Necessary!”

“Yeah,” replied Shawn.

He added, “I will award the prize to you person.”

Naomi was surprised again. She remembered that in her previous life, Rosalind won the top prize with Naomi’s design, and the award guests were Ryland and Ebie.

This time, Shawn

wn would give

t

the

award to

Naomi recalled that in her previous life, Shawn was

as still in a wheelchair at

tair at this point.

Naomi in person, which made Naomi feel the prize hail become more important than in her previous

His face hadn’t recovered either. At the award ceremony, Shawn was on the second floor, shrouded in the shadow. When he looked at Rosalind, his eyes were gloomy and deep.

In Naomi’s previous life, when Rosalind attended the award ceremony to receive the prize, Naomi secretly followed her.

Naomi pretended to be a waitress, watching everything that belonged to her be easily taken away by Rosalind, who held the trophy and delivered a gracious thank–you speech on the stage.

At that t

time, Naomi was so sad that she didn’t want to look at Rosalind anymore. When she raised her head, she saw Shawn in the shadow.

At this time. Naomi stood up and sat beside Shawn. She leaned her head on his shoulder and felt the rare peace.

She said to Shawn, “Then I have to dress up beautifully. I can’t humiliate you.

Naomi continued, “Tin going back to Black to continue my variety show after the award ceremony, Mr. Fischer, why don’t you come over with the?

“Do you think I have nothing else to do?”

Shawn poured himself another cup of coffee and continued, “But if you like to work, I can make more for you”

Naomi thought for a while and said nothing.

After dinner, Shawn took her back to Spring Villa,

He hadn’t slept well for three days. Now he just wanted to have a good sleep with Naomi in his arms.

Naomi had slept in the car when they came back. So, she was not sleepy at the moment. She let Shawn hold her and didn’t get up gently until he fell asleep

Whenever she had time. Naomi drew drafts and saved them as many as possible. Elf in the Evening was already developing the game. Kelly had talked with Naomi about the casting and also sent Naomi many pictures of the female actresses she was choosing

Kelly asked Naomi if she liked any female stars, or

or if she had

any suitable candidates

Naomi hadn’t seen the pictures carefully. Although she was the original designer, she wouldn’t interfere too much in the development of the copyright

For Ivy, her family gave her whatever she wanted. Naomi didn’t want to go against the powerful partners.

If the investor spent hundreds of millions on Naomi’s words, she would definitely say, “Okay”

However, since Kelly had asked about Naomi’s opinions, Naomi had to think about it carefully

After all, it was her own work.

Naomi didn’t dare to get out of bed. If she moved a little bit or stayed far away from Shawn, he would suddenly pull her back. So, she sat against the head of the bed and took her mobile phone to deal with some work.

Naomi looked carefully at the photos of the actresses and the actors sent by Kelly and compared them with the characters in the comics. Finally. she chose several suitable ones.

Upon silencing her phone, Naomi engaged in a chat with Kelly. During their conversation, Kelly mentioned that Rosalind had not caused any recent disturbances on the website. However, it came to light that Rosalind had discreetly created an author account on a different comic website and was actively upslating her comics there.

Chapter 108

The style and plot of Rosalind’s comics were similar to that of Naomi, but Rosalind avoided all the points related to plagiarism.

Indignant, Kelly typed quickly. (Your sister is indeed shameless. It’s obvious that she wants to plagiarize your idea.]

Naomi: [Send me the link to her work. I1I have a look.]

Kelly sent Naomi a link. Naomi clicked it. It was a newly written comic book, which had only been updated with a few chapters. The book was called Tears of Mermaid.

In the enchanting tale, the protagonist was a tyrannical king known for his merciless deeds across the continent Opposite him was the heroine, a mermaid princess residing in the depths of the sea. Legends spoke of the king’s insatiable fondness for rare treasures, particularly pearls. Meanwhile, the princess possessed a remarkable talent for singing, with a unique ability that her tears could transform into pearls. Notably, these pearls held more than mere monetary wonh: they possessed the extraordinary capability to bring the deceased back to life.

So, the king began to look for the mermaid princess. After he found her, he imprisoned her. He forced her to cry with violence, hoping that she could try and shed tears that could turn into pearls,

The princess was covered in wounds all over her body. She sang sadly every day, and the tears she shed were not pearls, but small stones

Later, the king checked the ancient books and learned that only true love could move the princess, and when she cried for the one she loved, her tears could turn into the most precious pearls.

Rosalind didn’t update much content, but after reading a few chapters. Naomi had guessed what would happen next. Rosalind avoided some of Naomi’s plots, but the plots of the books were surprisingly similar in many parts.

Naomi had updated the second volume. It was too easy for Rosalind to copy her story

After perusing Tears of Mermaid, Naomi discovered an abundance of fans urging Rosalind to hasten her updates while also encountering numerous positive comments. Nevertheless, some readers expressed skepticism, noting that certain parts of the story bore a resemblance to Elf in the Evening. In response, Rosalind firmly denied allegations of plagiarism, likening the situation to the notion that car brands copied each other simply because cars had four tires.

Reading Rosalind’s reply, Naomi laughed. It was annoying to read the comments, so Naomi decided not to read anymore.

Following an extensive discussion with Kelly, Naomi made the decision to bring her work to the public, transforming her book into a movie and a TV series. The contract was restructured by the website team, outlining a distribution where Naomi would receive eighty percent of the profits, with the website retaining the remaining twenty percent–a scenario previously deemed unachievable.

Kelly reminded Naomi that it was an order from the senior, so Kelly asked Naomi if she had any connections in the executive team.

Naomi tilted her head and thought for a while. She couldn’t think of anyone else except for Shawn.

However, Naomi didn’t think Shawn would even care about such a trifle.

Shawn was sleeping soundly. He wasn’t that scary after he fell asleep. In fact, Naomi wasn’t afraid of him as she got closer to him.

She reached out and gently rubbed his hair, and then touched his face.

Seeing that Shawn didn’t wake up, Naomi becarne bolder. She bent down and kissed him on the forehead, then on the nose, and finally on the Lips.

After kissing him, Naomi was about to get up when Shawn suddenly held her waist.

“Who taught you to run away after kissing me!”

Shawn pulled Naomi to the bed and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Be good and sleep with me for a while.”

Putting her arms around Shawn’s waist, Naomi let her thoughts go. It was not that she didn’t want to replace her biological parents, but she was afraid.

Shawn was right. Since they had abandoned her once, there would be a second or third time, just like what Freddy and Rosalind had done to her in her previous life.

Naomi’s biological parents had sent her to the orphanage. If she came to replace them, what would happen!

Naora closed her eyes and stopped thinking.

She couldn’t bear the blow and pain of being abandoned by her parents again.

“Shawn, will you really not abandon me?” Naomi looked at Shawn’s sleeping face again and whispered, “How do you know that I’m afraid of being abandoned“.
