Chapter 1058
Naomi was so frustrated when she saw the news that hade out the next day.
The photos of her untidy appearance had been posted online.
Fortunately, she had an innate beauty.
There were peoplementing that she still looked good without any make-up. Nevertheless, those
photos would remain as her dark past forever.
Amos and Eudora had originally no intentions of interfering with their matters. Therefore, it was
ultimately up to Naomi to decide on her own.
Naomi certainly was incredibly pleased to ept his proposal.
Naomi buried her face in her hands while lying on her bed, recalling what Nelson had said on the
previous day.
"Naomi, will you marry me? I know that I may not be excellent enough, but I really want to protect you.
So, please give me an opportunity to do so."
She rolled around on the bed and looked at the date on the calendar, where a red circle had been
drawn to highlight it.
Half a monthter, it would be her engagement ceremony!
At the same time, Nelson was also filled with happiness just like Naomi.
Looking at the date on the calendar, he felt as if the hardships he had suffered all those years had
wholly dissipated.
He had encountered so many challenges to be together with Naomi.
He had no regrets.
As he was thinking, he heard footstepsing from the doorway. He put down the calendar on the
table before opening the door.
Richard came in and gave the calendar a nce.
He said with a grin, "Congrattions!"
"Thank you for helping me to prepare for my proposal and engagement."
Richard pursed his lips and said, "Don''t mention it!"
Since Richard had said that, Nelson didn''t continue to express his gratitude to him.
After a pause, he brought up another subject.
"Have you found Monique?"
Richard shook his head as he said, "No, I haven''t!
Recently, I''ve been focusing on looking for her, and it''s the same for many people from Valiant East.
However, she seems to have vanished into thin air without a trace."
Nelson frowned, replying, "Is she plotting an evil scheme again? What if she turns up to make trouble
on my engagement day?"
He was not afraid if Monique were to look for trouble with him, but he was worried that she would hurt
the people he cared for.
Richard was deep in thought for a while before he spoke again, "I have underestimated Monique.
Indeed, she must have been quite capable to make it to this point all alone. I thought we could find her
before the engagement ceremony."
Seeing how troubled Nelson was, Richard couldn''t help butfort him.
"Truth be told, after the recent blow, there aren''t many people left on her side. I think she''s probably
hiding somewhere. Don''t worry, she can''t cause serious trouble anymore. I will find her as soon as
possible, so that your private affairs won''t be affected."
Nelson patted Richard on the shoulder and said, "Thank you!"
Richard lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said something else.
"What do you n to do with your mother? Do you need me to bring her back?"
Nelson replied, "There''s no need for that for the time being. It''s not that I don''t want her to attend my
wedding. I just know her too well. It won''t be easy for her to ept it. Moreover, she''s not in good
health, hence it would be better for her to not travel back and forth. Just let her rest. When everything is

settled in the future, I''ll take Naomi to see her."
Richard nodded while saying, "Alright! I''ll bring along your wedding favors and help you take a look at
her then."
Nelson looked at Richard gratefully. They had been through thick and thin together and Richard had
always given him the greatest reassurance.
Additionally, Richard was always able to see through his thoughts at a nce. Before he even had time
to think about a matter carefully, Richard had already arranged everything for him in a proper manner.
"Thank you, bro. When you meet the girl you like in the future, I will prepare a wedding for you too."
Richard smiled and said, "We''ll see."
It was not until he went out that he muttered to himself.
"I will most probably not find my Mrs. Right
anymore."
In the following two weeks, there really was no news about Monique. Richard and the Granger family
tried hard to look for her, but she was nowhere to be found.
Truthfully, she was hiding herself quite well.
However, she did not reappear in public to stir up trouble. Almost everyone had forgotten that she was
a very dangerous woman.
Consequently, they put all their attention on the engagement ceremony.
Sugar Bun also came back from abroad. After all, his sister, Naomi, was getting engaged, therefore he
would definitelye back to attend her engagement.
However, he still felt sorry for Benedict.
"Benedict has treated you so nicely for most of his life. Why didn''t you get together with him in the
end?"
Naomi hit him jokingly and said, "You don''t understand. When ites down to rtionships, it''s not a
matter of who treats you the best. Other than that, I''m so close to Benedict that he''s just like a brother
to me. I''ve even seen him in diapersst time. How can I fall in love with him?"
Exasperated, he replied, "You''re making excuses. Forget it, I don''t want to talk about it anymore. I wish
you and Nelson a sweet and happy life!"
Naomi smiled and said, "That''s more like it! Well, you can do whatever you like. I''m busy now."
He let out a sigh as he really failed to understand her actions.
He always felt that it was better for Naomi to date someone they knew from an early age, rather than
an outsider.
It was not until a long timeter that he met a person he liked. Unluckily, his love was unrequited. Only
then did he realize that love could not be forced.
It didn''t matter how strong or how capable he was.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the engagement banquet.
After Naomi got up in the morning, she spent the whole day trying on different gowns and make-up.
After dinner, she wanted to have a chat with Nelson using her phone.
However, Tina snatched her phone away.
"Although we live in a modern society, where traditions are not prioritized, there are still some rules in
our families that cannot be broken!"
Naomi was bewildered as she asked, "What rule?"
Naomi was at a loss for words. She said, "Oh,e on! Auntie Tina, don''t be so superstitious, okay?"
"This is not a superstition, but a rule. Anyways, listen to me! Don''t worry, Nelson won''t be taken away.
It''s just a few hours before you meet him, I''m sure that won''t be hard for you to endure."
Naomi was embarrassed by her words. It sounded like she was overly anxious to meet her lover.
"Okay, fine!"
"My sister''s mobile phone has been confiscated, so don''t wait for her any longer. See you tomorrow!"
Nelson couldn''t help butugh. He replied, "Okay, thank you!"
Then, the messaging app showed that Sugar Bun was typing something. He waited for a long time
before a long message was sent by Sugar Bun.
Nelson replied in a very serious tone, "I will always be sincere towards her!"
"Well, I''ll hold you to that. If you can''t do sp, don''t me me for being rude to you!"
Sugar Bun replied to him with that sentence and a fist emoji.
