‘I guess my job is done here.’
Jackie placed the glass in front of his lips and took a sip from the wine.
Looking at the empty glass, he couldn’t help himself and chuckled. It seemed to
him that he had become the “cupid.” Why had he agreed to such a boring thing
at that time? It didn't seem like his style to pair up a couple.
Suddenly, his phone on the table rang. He took a look at the incoming call and
frowned before answering it. “Grandpa.”
Thomas’ voice blurted out through the other side of the line. “You br*t, I'll give
you two days to return.”
Jackie placed his hand on his forehead. It seemed to him that his grandfather
had learned about the fake engagement.

Naomi woke up from Francisco’s arms, she felt like she was dreaming when she
looked at the face that was right beside her.
Slowly, ever slowly, she approached him and planted a kiss on his lips lightly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Francisco stretched his arm and pulled her into his embrace, stunning
her.
She was caught red-handed kissing him, and her face turned red like a cooked
shrimp.
“W-When did you wake up?”
“A long time ago.” Francisco propped his head up with one hand and lay on his side. There was a smile in his eyes
as he continued. "I wanted to see what you would do to me."
She buried herself into the coverlet.
Francisco laughed and pulled her out. “Do you want to suffocate yourself?”
The opening of his collar was right in front of Naomi, and she did not know where she should look. Seeing how
nervous she was, Francisco pulled her into his arms and said, " How can you get nervous so easily? I haven't done
anything yet.”
Naomi felt her head burning as she mumbled, "You've kissed me, hugged me, and touched me. How can you say
you haven't done anything yet?”
He coiled her hair around his finger and continued. “I just want you to get used to it. After all, we're going to do
something even more intimate in the future.”
‘Something even more intimate? Is he talking about that thing?’
When the thought surfaced in her head, her face turned burning hot like a pot of boiling water.
‘But it’s normal for a couple to do something like that, right?’
Naom had mentally prepared for it, but it seemed to her that Francisco was not.
Francisco seemed to be able to read her mind when he saw the disappointment in her eyes. He leaned closer and
kissed her cheek. “I don't want you to think I'm only with you to do that kind of thing.”
Naomi was stunned.
He stroked the corner of her lips with his finger and added, “I’ll only do that with you on our wedding night.”
Naomi was stunned for a moment before she came around to her senses. She sat upright and asked, “What did you
say? Wedding night?”
‘Could it be that he...’
Francisco looked at her and asked, “Will you marry me?”
Naomi closed her mouth with her hands in shock.
‘He wants to marry me!?’
He grabbed her hand and kissed its back. “We can get married any time. You just need to nod.”
She nodded.
Francisco grabbed her into his arms, laughing as he tousled her hair. “Then
what about the engagement between you and Jackie...”

Francisco was stunned.
Naomi lowered her head in embarrassment and said, “We’re not seeing each
other, and our engagement is fake.”
When Francisco did not say anything in return, she said nervously, “You... You’re
not angry with me, are you?”
Francisco took a deep breath. “Both of you set me up.”
Naomi put her fingers together and said triumphantly, “We just wanted to give
you a little push...”
He tightened his arms and put her in front of him. “How could you set me up?
I’m going to punish you,” he said as he started tickling her, causing Naomi to
laugh and try to run away.
Three days later, at the Topaz mansion...
Anthony sat on the couch silently with a complicated expression on his face.
Naomi was sitting opposite him as she said carefully, “I’m sorry, Dad. I shouldn’t
have lied to you.”
He took a deep breath and said, “Actually, I already knew about it.”
Naomi froze for a few seconds. "You knew about it?"
