“Maybe that’s the problem.” Maisie looked at Barbara. “Mr. Topaz isn’t satisfied
with Francisco because of his scandalous past. You try and think about it. A
playboy who wants to settle down in a relationship, who can guarantee that he
won't go around and tease other women after getting married?
“Mr. Topaz has only one daughter. She has never fallen in love with any men
before, and she's as pure as a blank sheet of paper, so do you think he'll hand
his daughter over to Francisco?”
Barbara was stumped. “Aren’t they all saying a prodigal who returns is more
precious than gold?”
Maisie chuckled. “Yeah, but even Francisco doesn’t have confidence in himself
that he can give Naomi happiness. He should be serious about his relationship
with Naomi. A man with a long love history meets a woman who has never fallen
in love with any man before. He wants to cherish the relationship, but he's

After hearing what Maisie said, Barbara scoffed exasperatedly. “Sigh, why must
he do that to himself? He could’ve just followed his heart.”
Maisie shrugged and continued. “If he chooses not to do anything when he
learns that Naomi is getting engaged, then they're over.” • ••
Jackie brought Naomi to pick her dress. The shopkeeper enthusiastically placed various new dresses in front of
Naomi and let her pick.
He took his phone and walked up to her. “You pick first. I’m going to make a call.”
She nodded. After Jackie left, she picked a lavender off-shoulder dress and walked to the dressing room.
She changed into the dress and looked at herself through the mirror. The dress fit her like a glove, further
accentuating her great physique. The lace on the top of her dress echoed with the tulle pattern cut on the side of
the skirt, making the dress less plain.
Just when Naomi looked at her reflection in a trance, a series of footsteps wafted into her ears, she thought Jackie
had returned, and when she opened up the curtain of the dressing room, what met her vision was a familiar figure
that was walking away. Her heart skipped a beat, and she picked up the hem of her dress to chase after the figure.
Naomi came out to the corridor, but there was no one there.
“Naomi?” Jackie showed up. “What’s wrong?” She shook her head in a daze and turned around to look at him.
“Nothing. Let’s go back inside.”
“Okay.” Jackie wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and he glanced in the direction of the stairs when he turned
around.
Naomi had been rather distracted from the moment she came out of the shopping mall. She was pretty certain
that the figure was Francisco, but she did not understand why he refused to see her.
Why had he come here if he did not want to see her?
Jackie opened the door for her. When she got into the car, Jackie walked over to the driver's seat and drove the car
away.
Not far away, Francisco, who was sitting in his own car, watched the car as it slowly disappeared from his vision. He
looked down at his phone and frowned.
Jackie drove Naomi back to her house. She got out of the car and bade him
goodbye. After she saw the car leave, she turned around and entered her
house.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackie returned to the hotel and parked his car in the basement car park. No
sooner had he gotten out of his car than a car showed up from nowhere and
blocked in front of him.
Jackie looked at Francisco and smiled. “You’ve been following US the whole time.
Can I say that you still haven’t gotten over her?”
Francisco closed the door and walked toward Jackie expressionlessly. “Do you
really love Naomi?” he asked.
Jackie met his gaze and replied, “I don’t think that’s your business, right, Mr.
Boucher?”
“You have a marriage contract with the daughter of the king of casinos in
Octavia,” Francisco said calmly. “Not only is your engagement not canceled, but
you still keep in touch with her privately. Does she or the Byrons know about
your engagement?”
Jackie frowned. “You investigated me?”
“Of course, I had to.” Francisco looked at him straight in the eyes, his gaze
sharp. “Are you not worried that Naomi might learn about it?”
