Chapter 1059


    After chatting with Sugar Bun for a while, Nelson was about to take a rest when his cell phone rang


    again.


    It was Richard this time. Nelson thought something had happened. He quickly picked up the phone,


    asking, "What''s wrong?"


    Richard chuckled and said, "Can''t I call you even if nothing''s wrong? This is yourst day of being


    single. It might not be so convenient for me to ask you out in the future. How about having a drink?"


    Nelson looked at the time hesitatingly. It was already past ten o''clock.


    After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay!"


    They met in a bar. By the time Nelson arrived, Richard had already drunk half a bottle of beer on his


    own.


    Seeing him entering the bar, Richard drank another ss of beer before greeting him.


    "Oh, you''re here! I''ll ask the bartender to get some drinks for you!" "Forget it, I''d better not drink any


    alcohol. We can just have a talk. I have to attend my own engagement banquet tomorrow. It would be


    bad if I got drunk and waste."


    Richard didn''t try to persuade him, but just nodded.


    "That''s fine with me. We can''t afford to take a risk for such an important matter."


    Nelson sat down next to Richard. Then, he said with concern in his voice, "What''s wrong? You seem


    downcast. Is it because you''ve been too busy recently? How about resting for a few days after Naomi


    and I get engaged?"


    Richard shook his head and said, "No, it''s just that I''ve remembered something."


    "What is it?" asked Nelson.


    Richard said, "Forget it, let''s go somewhere else! It''s boring here since you''re not drinking."


    "Sure, it''s up to you!"


    Ten minutester, Richard took him to the rooftop of a building. After finding a ce to sit down,


    Richard started to ask him.


    "Do you still remember when we first met?"


    Nelson nodded, "Of course I do! That time, my adoptive parents had just died, and I had been


    constantly bullied by the local children until I really couldn''t bear it and fought with them."


    "As a result, they held a grudge against me and looked for their brothers to avenge themselves. I was


    beaten up so badly that I thought I was going to die, but I met you. You brought me to your ce. It


    was also at the rooftop of a building, just like the corner over there."


    He pointed to a corner at the rooftop and continued, "You used some sundries to build a simple shelter.


    Later, I joined you too, and then we went out to do part- time jobs together. We became vagrants and


    were beaten up together."


    Richard nodded and said, "Wow, I didn''t expect you to remember all that."


    "Why did you think I wouldn''t remember? I won''t forget those recollections of the times we''ve spent


    together."


    "However, I''ve almost forgotten everything. What I can recall is that there was one time when I got sick


    that you carried me everywhere to find the doctor, and you had even knelt down to beg the doctor to


    treat me."


    Nelson gave him a confused look and asked, "Have I? As esteemed as I am, why would I kneel down


    and beg anyone for help?"


    Richardughed and said, "Still ying dumb, huh? Either way, thank you for that!"


    Nelson patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don'' t forget that you are my best buddy. You would have


    done the same for me."


    Richard said in a muffled voice, "I''m suddenly getting a little sentimental thinking of the past. I don''t


    know why I have a feeling that you''re abandoning me."


    Nelson was frightened by his words. He was unsure whether Richard had said so consciously or


    unconsciously.


    The main thing was that there was indeed reluctance in Richard''s eyes.


    Nelson was nonplussed for a moment.


    "Don''t tell me that you''re into guys! Bro, I like women."


    Richard sneered and hurriedly turned his head away.


    "I like women too."


    Nelson breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That''s more like it! It seems like you''ve drunk too much."


    "Maybe you''re right. However, sometimes, alcohol doesn''t intoxicate people, but shows our true self


    instead."


    Nelson got up while saying, "What do you mean by that? Anyways, I''m going back. You should head


    back too. There''s something incredibly important for us to do tomorrow!"


    "Sure, you go first. I want to sit here for a while longer."


    Nelson frowned and said, "Wait, are you really okay?"


    "I''m fine. I just want to sober up. Go ahead! May the years ahead of Miss George and you be filled with


    evesting joy."


    Only then did Nelson finally prepare to leave. However, before he left, he said to Richard, "Okay then,


    I''m leaving. I''ve called a taxi for you, don''t stay here for too long. Just go down within 20 minutes and


    take the ride home."


    Richard nodded and said, "Got it."


    It was not until Nelson''s figure disappeared from his sight that Richard stretched out his hand to caress


    the scar on his waist.


    He had gotten it in the past when he was sick. When Nelson had carried him to look for doctors all over


    the ce, he had identally fallen down and got scratched on the waist.


    Truth be told, the wound was not deep at all. If it had been treated wellter, there would be no scar left


    on his body.


    He was the one who was reluctant to want it to get better.


    Whenever the wound was about to be healed, he would deliberately tear it apart.


    Over time, a permanent scar was left there.


    He slowly stroked the scar. To him, it symbolized the warmth and his attachment to their brotherhood.


    He was unlikely to give it up for the rest of his life.


    However, life could be so cruel at times.


    Such a warmth would eventually leave him.


    When Nelson woke up on the next day, Richard had switched back to his usual demeanor. He neither


    spoke nor smiled, but came off as a reliable assistant.


    It seemed that their conversation the previous night had just been a dream for the two of them.

    Nelson nodded, and his gaze lingered on the breakfast.


    Richard would always prepare a ss of milk and a sandwich for him as breakfast.


    He smiled and said, "You know what? I feel like it''s time for me to try a different cuisine for breakfast


    for a change."


    Richard took Nelson''s words to his heart.


    He was befuddled for a moment before he answered, "Well, okay!"


    She was woken up early in the morning.


    She kept dozing off as they were helping her to put on the dress and make-up.


    When Eudora came into the room, she saw Naomi squinting, hence she took a wet towel and wiped


    her face.


    "Come on, stay focused! You have to go to the engagement ceremonyter. Hold on for a while longer.


    When the engagement ceremony is over, you can stille back to sleep."


    The engagement ceremony officially began at eleven o''clock in the afternoon.


    The entire affair was incredibly grand and splendid, and videos were yed in the venue, which


    disyed how Naomi and Nelson had fallen in love with each other.


    They stood on the stage and looked at each other.


    The audience below the stage were all cheering and giving them a thunderous ovation.


    A staff member identally bumped into Emma as he was carrying some things. Cynthia was so


    scared that she quickly held her and asked, "Are you okay?"


    Emma shook her head and reassured her, "I''m fine!"


    Then, she turned to look at Nelson, who was wearing a suit, standing on the stage. Suddenly, she


    seemed to recall something.
