C18 Past

"Is this Miss Moore, Naomi? I'm sorry, I'm Clifton's mother. I'm sorry to have come here so presumptuously."

Clifton's mother went to Naomi and asked her to wash her hands and bring two cups of tea.

"Miss Moore, do you know why I'm here today?"

Naomi shook her head. She didn't know.

"It's mainly about you and Clifton and Neta."

Naomi took a sip of the tea. Her eyes were dark. "Mmm, I've already broken up with Clifton. These things are no longer important."

"No, please listen to me before you decide to break up with Clifton."

Neta was the lover of Clifton in his university days. They were in love with each other, but after Sherman’s investigation, he found out that Neta had a deal with a coal boss. So, he advised Neta to leave and left a letter of breakup before he left. In order not to hurt Clifton, he never told him about Jeanette’s history. So, Clifton had never gotten along well with his grandfather.

Naomi recalled the scene of Sherman and Clifton meeting each other. No wonder Clifton was so cold to Sherman. It was because of this.

"So, this can be considered a small knot in Clifton's heart, but he's my son. I can see that he really likes you, so why are you still so stubborn about the past? Everyone has their past, right? Jeanette will only become history. It can be considered a small regret of Clifton's youth."

Naomi suddenly thought of Elijah. Yes, everyone had their past, except that one was regretful while the other was disappointed.

If Clifton knew the nature of Jeanette, he would have been as disappointed as she was.

"Auntie, I understand what you're saying. However, the distance between me and Clifton is too far. Although the word 'house to door' is old-fashioned, it still has its logic. If we are not in the same world, we will sooner or later break apart because of different opinions."

Geneva folded her hands and thought for a moment, "Actually, to be honest, Clifton's father and I are not compatible. Back then, I was not as good as you now."

When Geneva recalled her past and smiled at her current self, Naomi was moved.

After Celia left, Naomi pondered for a long time, but she was still distracted by the soup and ended up destroying the pot.

Geneva continued to arrange blind dates for Naomi. Since Amanda had something to do today, she could only brace herself and go up.

During the entire date, Naomi was on the verge of collapsing. "Mr. Moore, that was the coffee I drank."

"There were eleven cups. You wasted it."

Naomi felt that being thrifty was a good quality. At this point, he was not afraid of an infectious disease!

"Wait, I forgot to do something. Miss Moore, please wait a moment."

He took out a small book and started to count!

"Okay, Miss Moore, hehe, I'm sorry, Miss Moore. This is just a habit. Oh, right, after we get married, our assets will be divided evenly. The water and electricity bills will also be divided evenly. Do you have a car? Do you have a house? "

Naomi nodded with a trembling voice.

"Where is the car? I have to pay for the fuel. As for me, I support green and environmental protection, so I didn't buy a car. But don't worry, I'll definitely pay for the fuel when I ride in your car. As for the house, I've saved enough money to buy a house, but I haven't seen a house that I like. It's not a big deal. I'll stay with you for now. As for the rent, we'll split it according to the size. I'll talk to you about it after I calculate it. "

Naomi's face turned green. She had seen all kinds of weirdos before. Who else could be so weird?

"Um, Mr. Moore, it's the first time we meet. Isn't it too early to talk about this?"

"It's not early anymore. You're already so old. I'm worried that it won't be easy for you to have a child. If you can get your mother a divorce earlier, she can be at ease. Oh, right, your parents don't need to take care of you, do they? "

What are you doing, Mr. Moore? Naomi thought. If he didn't finish the coffee in front of her, she would definitely spit on him.

"Naomi, are you done? You can leave with me. "

Coincidentally, Clark was sitting next to them. He could hear everything that was going on. Seeing that Naomi was about to collapse, it was time for him to appear.

Naomi nodded as if she had seen her savior. She then stood up and held Clark's arm.

"Sir, I'm sorry. My girlfriend was angry with me and that's why she came to the blind date with you. You can leave now."

"What are you doing? Why did you come to the blind date with a boyfriend? Do you have any chastity?"

Once they were out of the restaurant, Naomi let go of Clark's hand and let out a sigh of relief.

"That man is really good."

"You're still smiling. Hahaha. Let's go. You've helped me again. Tell me, what do you want to eat? I also invited you to the dragon meat today."

Naomi had been frightened by the man just now, and her heart was still surging.

"Okay, I'll have to pay a lot of money for that."

Clark caressed Naomi's hair casually. This action reminded Naomi of Clifton, and at the same time, reminded her of what Celia had told her that day.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I was thinking about something. Let's go."

In the end, there was no dragon meat. There was only lobster. The small lobsters accompanied the cold beer. It was the most common thing in the food stalls.

It was just beer, and the alcohol content was not high, so it was not easy to get drunk. However, if one was drunk, it was easy to get dizzy. When Clark sent Naomi home, he witnessed her drinking. Of course, he would not associate it with her character, but his car was almost overturned by Naomi.

Naomi woke up unconsciously. She was about to be late. She hurried out of the room, only to find a familiar car at the door.

"Beep, beep." She could see the handsome face of Clark from the front window. When she saw him waving the bag in his hand at Naomi, Naomi's face turned red. Why was her brain so messy lately?

"Get in the car. I'll give you a bag and send you to work."

Naomi smiled awkwardly. Although she had sobered up, she still had a headache.

"Thank you, Mr. Naomi."

"There's no need to thank me. Just treat me to a meal."

Naomi realized that since she knew him, he had started with a topic of eating every time. It was as if he was a foodie.

"Alright, say it. I'll treat you."

"Hey, Mom, I'm really not going. It's normal for me to be the first time. It's a pity that she's already got a girlfriend. The second time, she's just a weirdo. I have lost my confidence in blind dates. Mom, please forgive me."

"Mom, what are you doing? Alright, alright, I'll go. But I said this is the last time. This is the last time."

After hanging up the phone, Naomi was depressed.
