When Naomi did not reply, Francisco cocked his head to look at her.
"You don’t want to go on a date with m e?"?
"Of course, I want to go on a date with you..."
Naomi froze for a moment and asked, "Are we in a relationship now?"
Francisco tightened his grip and pulled her closer into his arms.
"Really? This is the question you have for me? You really are more ignorant than I thought you were."
Naomi looked at him, and a smile appeared on her face.
The next day, at Soul...
"Thank you for yesterday, Naomi.My mom told me that guy called her and said we were not suitable.He even apologized to my mom, and my mom was shocked," Lucy said, expressing her gratitude to Naomi.
Naomi replied with a smile on her face, "It’s fine.I should thank you instead."
"Thank me?" Lucy was confused.
"Why are you thanking me?"
Naomi lowered her head.She had been feeling different since yesterday.
Looking at the smile on Naomi’s face, Lucy said, "Look at you, grinning like a Chesire cat.You aren’t in love, are you?"
Naomi’s face flushed with embarrassment when she heard what Lucy said.
Seeing her reaction, Lucy knew she had guessed it right and asked, "Seriously?"
Naomi nodded.
Piqued by her curiosity, Lucy went closer and asked, "Who is it?"
Naomi lowered her head and replied, "It’s someone you know."
Lucy fell into contemplation for a moment before looking at her incredulously.
"You're not talking about Mr.Boucher, are you?"
When she saw the expression on Naomi’s face, she was stunned.
"Seriously? You’re dating him?" Naomi replied with a smile, "Yeah.Who else could it b e if not him?"
"What do you really like about him? Aren't you worried about..."
Even though Lucy did not finish her sentence, Naomi knew what she wanted to say.
She looked at her and said seriously, "I don’t care about his past.I just know that I like him for how he’s now.As for what I like about him, I can’t really tell.Maybe I think he’s a nice person."
Lucy did not want to say anything anymore upon seeing how resolute Naomi was.
