Chapter 199

Jessie’s voice was very low, but every word clearly fell into Naomi’s ear. “Naomi, I’m sorry.”

Naomi didn’t say anything. After the waiter served her coffee, she held it and meditated. She neither resented nor blamed Jessic.

“Jessie, don’t say sorry. I will never blame you,” said Naomi.

Naomi took a sip of coffee and said slowly, “Actually, I guessed it.

“But I don’t want to ask.”

Naomi put down the coffee cup. “As for some things, it would be better if I didn’t know them. It is said that if a person is a little confused, he will live a happier life.”

“Jessie, I am very fond of you. You helped me a lot both in Yeonland and Atopan.

“Jessie, thank you for letting me know what kind of person my parents are.”

Naomi smiled at Jessie, “I don’t blame Alfred. He has been nice to me since he didn’t know I was his sister.

“After knowing that I am his sister, he has treated me better.”

Naomi’s voice suddenly choked, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She covered her eyes to stop herself from erying.

Jessie reached out to hold her hand. “Naomi, Alfred has been looking for you. He has always loved you. He has always loved his sister and he never forgets it.

“Naomi, someone has always loved you.”

Naomi didn’t speak, but she could hardly control her tears.

She couldn’t tell whether she was happy or sad, but she wanted to cry for no reason.

Jessie said, “I know you want to cry. Cry if you want! I won’t laugh at you.”

Jessie took out a tissue and handed it to Naomi. “When Alfred saved me, he said something.”

Naomi said, “What is it?”

“He said that he tried his best to help every girl in trouble, and hoped that his sister could have a kind–hearted person help her wherever he couldn’t see.”

Jessie remembered that when Alfred carried her out of the sunless room, she knew she was saved.

Naomi was stunned. Shawn saved her in both lives. Was it related to the fact that Alfred had been helping girls?

Jessie said, “Naomi, Alfred is not a bad person.”

Jessie choked with sobs. “I used to have a bad life. It was Alfred who saved me.

“My life was given by Alfred. After he saved me, he paid for my schooling and found someone to teach me a lot. After I found out that he was the eldest son of the Edwards family, I offered to study finance. I want to stay by his side and try my best to repay him.

“Alfred is very kind to me. He never treats me as a maid or secretary, and he even spoils me. So you can see that I have a

high status in front of him and I can discipline him.

“Because he said that he hoped his sister could be lucky enough to meet another man like him.”

Naomi couldn’t help crying.

Jessie said. “Naomi, you can hate the whole Edwards family, but don’t hate Alfred, okay?”

Jessie held her hand. “He really never gave up looking for you and has always loved you.”

Naomi did not speak because she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Jessie said. “Naomi, you don’t have to answer me now. When you calm down, I will take you somewhere else.

“I want to show you something.”

Naomi nodded slowly and finally said, “Okay.”

“I’ll take you to dinner,” Jessie suggested.

“I don’t feel like eating.” Naomi withdrew her hand. “Jessie, I want to be alone for a while, okay?”

Jessie nodded. “Okay. Call me if you need anything.

30%

“Alfred had his own business these years. Even if he left Edwards Group, he could do well. He is a good businessman, but when it comes to his sister, he always loses some sense and does something inappropriate.

“So I often remind him and discipline him.

“Naomi, don’t laugh at him.”

Naomi nodded. “I see, Jessie. Thank you for telling me this.”

“I’ll get going, then,” said Jessie.

Naomi nodded. “Okay.”

After Jessie went out of the café, she turned around and saw Naomi sitting in her seat with red eyes and silent tears.

Seeing this, Jessie was worried. She took out her cell phone and called Chandler.

Jessie said, “Hello, Chandler. This is Jessie. Naomi is in Island Café now. Please ask Mr. Fischer to go and see her! She… should want someone to be with her.”

“Okay, thank you, Jessie. I see,” said Chandler.

After hanging up the phone, Jessie didn’t leave until Shawn’s car arrived.

Shawn treated Naomi differently.

Bystanders could see things more objectively.

Jessie could see clearly that Shawn was into Naomi.

After Shawn entered the café, he strode to Naomi. He held her face and checked it carefully. “Did you get bullied?”

Naomi shook her head.

“How long have you been crying?” Shawn took a wet tissue and wiped her eyes and face. “Naomi, I’ve helped you vent your

anger on the Edwards family.”

Naomi was stunned.

After cleaning her face, Shawn pulled her up and said, “Let’s go home.”

Naomi asked, “Shawn, why did you know I was here?”

Jessic called Chandler.” Shawn didn’t hide it from her. “You are my woman!

“If I don’t care about you, who will?”

Naomi’s eyes turned red and she couldn’t help crying.

Shawn sighed, “Why do you like crying so much?

“Naomi, do you still remember all the ways that you had to follow me since we first met?

“Naomi, your public persona has been ruined. Do you know that?

“The Edwards family is nothing, and it isn’t worth being sad for them.”

Naomi looked at Shawn with tears in her eyes and said, “Shawn, your public persona has also been ruined.”

Shawn laughed in a low voice and rubbed her head with his big hand. “What the hell is the public persona?”

Naomi slapped him on the chest. “You can say that I have a public persona. Can’t I say that you

also have a public persona?”

“Okay, okay. I don’t give a damn about it!” Shawn held her hand and took her out of the café. After getting in the car, Naomi took the initiative to nestle in his arms with her cheek rubbing against his chest.

She asked, “Shawn, am I useless?

“Jessie told me a lot. She sent the results of the paternity test to my mailbox. I didn’t want to see it, but I couldn’t help myself.”

Naomi said softly, “She told me that Alfred had always loved me.

“Shawn, did you know that I am the child of the Edwards family?”

Shawn stroked her hair. “Naomi, if I say that I didn’t know it before but after Jessie came to Atopan, do you believe me?”

Naomi said, “As long as you tell me, I will believe it.”

“After Jessie arrived at Atopan, she went to a certain identification institution. The director of that institution was Oscar’s sister.” Shawn’s deep voice sounded in Naomi’s ear.

Shawn continued, “Jessie did everything carefully. The person she found was her good friend in college, who personally did the paternity test and destroyed your information afterward.

“But as I said, the director of that institution is Oscar’s sister. Before going to work every day, Teresa Rogers has a habit of checking the surveillance video of the previous day. Jessie’s friend destroyed your information, but unexpectedly, the surveillance video caught her with Jessie.

“Teresa is a very sensitive person. She immediately investigated the thing between Jessie and her friend.”

Shawn put Naomi on his lap. “The Edwards family is not worth your sadness.

“If you are fond of Jessie, you can make friends with her.”

Chapter 195

Hewing Shawn’s words, Nacymi gradually calmed down. “Okay, Isee.

Shawn, thank you Without you, I wouldn’t be so lucky.”

Shawn stared at her and similed, “Naomi, be happy”

Naomi said. “Okay, I see.

Thank you, Shawn”

Naomi closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly in Shawn’s arms.

The next day, in the Edwards manor, Rosalind saw the latest news. “Alfred hugged Naomi. Were they in a relationship?”

Rosalind clicked in quickly and saw the photo of Naomi being held by Alfred.

After reading the press release carefully, she couldn’t help but be happy secretly. If Naomi betrayed Shawn, Shawn would definitely not let Naomi go.

But the person holding Naomi was Alfred, CEO of Edwards Group.

When Shawn and Alfred fought against each other, who was better?

However, the news made Rosalind extremely happy.

She was also looking forward to going out with Dillon.

Rosalind secretly hired some Internet trolls and asked them to slander Naomi, as well as write sonie trumped–up stories.

After doing all this, she couldn’t help dancing in the living room of the Edwards manor.

Wilson watched on the second floor, quietly took photos of Rosalind’s every move, and then sent them to Naomi.

Wilson texted, [Naomi, your sister is too arrogant. I really don’t like her. I want to give her some gifts.]

Naomi replied, [Okay, Mr. Walter. I’m looking forward to it.]

Wilson smiled, put away his phone, and went downstairs. He turned around and walked outside. Soon he came in with a potted flower. “Rosalind, help me bring this potted flower to the backyard.”

“Okay.” Rosalind was in a good mood, so she didn’t dare to disrespect Wilson. Otherwise, Naomi’s bodyguards would throw her out at any time.

Rosalind carried the flowerpot to the backyard, came back, and dressed herself up before going out.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw a black Maybach parked at the door. The door opened and Alfred got out of the car and walked towards her step by step.

Alfred had an angular face. He was tall and straight. He looked gentle most of the time, but when he was cold, his aura was extremely oppressive.

At that moment, he stared at Rosalind coldly. Rosalind felt an inexplicable chill and subconsciously turned around to run

away.

Alfred smiled coldly and let Rosalind run away. He was hiding it before, but now he told Naomi the truth and wanted to take revenge on Rosalind fair and square.
