Chapter 92 

Naomi allowed him to kiss her; after all, kissing was all they could do now 

The deeper the kiss, the more uncomfortable Shawn became, until he had no choice but to hold her tightly, his already deep and magnetic voice even huskier. “Naomi, you need to help me.”“” 

Naomi froze. How was she supposed to cope with this? 

She had absolutely no experience at all! 

Seeing her bewildered expression, Shawn didn’t get angry. Instead, he felt strangely satisfied inside. He preferred his woman to be like a blank canvas, allowing him in paint it with all the colors. 

He didn’t want her to know everything. 

To know much meant to experience much. 

Shawn had disliked women since he was young; it was hearable when his mother was alive, but since the car accident that took his parents, his aversion to and difficulty with women had grown 

Yet now, he didn’t despise Naomi. He could perform any intimate action with her, even desiring her. 

For him, this was a good thing. 

He had never been reckless before, the male possessive instinct made him wish for her to belong only to him 

Shawn clasped Naomi’s hand, slipping it beneath the comforter 

Naomi’s cheeks flamed hotter. An instinctive urge to pull away took over. She had a sinking feeling that whatever Shawn wanted her to do was way beyond her wildest dreams or her understanding, for that matter. 

Even though she had lived two lifetimes, when it came to romance and stuff, she was clueless–like 100% clueless 

She had mustered the courage a few times to look up some info, but never had the guts to actually read it. 

“Shawol” Naomi burst out, 

I’m hungry I’m gonna go find something to eat in the kitchen 

With that, she flipped back the covers, her face red–hot, and without daring to glance at him, she scampered out of the bedroom. 

“Naomi, you get back here this instant. Shawn growled through clenched teeth, but she was already running away without a trace. 

For all her politeness and meekness around him, when Naomi got rebellious, Shawn was utterly out of his depth. 

Last time, learning she was just a stand–in Shawn was livid. Tossing and turning all night, he sent Chandler to dig more into her life, 

After ensuring Naomi had no playboys or shady guy friends besides her ex, Freddy, he decided to give her the benefit of the doubt–just this once. 

Because the guy in the sketchbook, it definitely wasn’t Freddy

But she wouldn’t spill, and he couldn’t pry her open with the tactics be used on others. 

Shawn was gritting his teeth, forgiving her so easily this time might just come back to bite him. Before long, she might be walking all over him. 

Naomi rushed back to the second floor, parting her cheeks. The whole scenario felt like a dream. 

Sealing into bed, it wasn’t long before Carla knocked. ‘Naomi, can I come in?” 

“The door’s open, Carla. Come in♬ 

Carla entered, bearing a bowl of ginger tea. “Have a little.” 

“I thought it’d be a while before you’d be back. It’s great to see you. Mr. Fischer isn’t a bad guy, just a bit short–tempered.” 

Carla spoke up for Shawn. “Mr. Fischer called me on the internal line just now and asked me to prepare this ginger tea for you.” 

Naomi didn’t buy it for a second, but she didn’t let on, smiling sweetly, “Thanks, Carla, and thanks Mr. Fischer. 

“Naomi, sometimes you don’t have to be so stubborn. Soften up when it’s time, be a little coquettish when needed. Boss isn’t used to dealing with

girls. Just put in a little effort, and you’ll have him wrapped around your finger, Carla whispered her advice. “And Mrs. Fischer keeps asking me about your period. Do you understand what that means?” 

Naomi shook her head. “What does it mean?” 

“She’s hoping you get pregnant with Mr. Fischer’s child soon. 

Naomi was stunned. “But I’m only nineteen!” 

“Young ones recover quickly. It’s better in the long run, Carla said, having watched Shawn grow up. She knew finding a girl who could get close to him was rare. 

From a young age, since Shawn’s parents were around, they had him see countless doctors, famous ones from home and abroad. In the end, they all said that these things couldn’t be forced; it all came down to fate. 

If he didn’t meet the right one, Shawn might end up alone for life. 

Carla naturally didn’t want her young master to be lonely forever. 

At first, Cheryl’s appearance made her quite happy, but since Cheryl never even made it to Spring Villa, it showed she wasn’t that special to Shawn. 

was different. 

Naomi, however, was 

“Drink up! Get yourself in good shape. I’m just mentioning it. Don’t feel pressured.” 

Naomi nodded and slowly finished her ginger tea. 

After Carla left, it wasn’t long before Shawn ascended to the second Boor. The man, sulking with a handsome scowl, resigned himself to lying on her pink princess bed. 

“Naomi, I must owe you, Shawn muttered through gritted teeth as he enveloped her in a fierce embrace. 

Naomi was speechless. 

She found Shawn’s temperament quite bizarre. 

Shawn barked at her without a trace of good humor: “Sleep” 

“Okay, sure. 

Naomi was truly exhausted, plus her menstrual cramps were starting, unsettling her. She had been to the Herb Farm overnight and, despite resting for a few hours at an inn, hadn’t really slept. 

Her attempt to help jackson, although fruitless, was tiring nonetheless. 

Now, in Shawn’s embrace, smelling the familiar cold fragrance, her icy hands and feet warmed against the man’s body. Overcome by drowsiness, she yawned and swiftly fell asleep 

Shawn was equally weary. Holding her and inhaling the familiar scent of gardenias, he finally began to relax, and before long, he too was sound adeep… 

On the fourteenth floor of Building Cat Honeycomb Valley. 

Disguised and laden with bags, Joanna unlocked the door to her apartment in Honeycomb Valley with a spare key she’d found under the doormat. Derek was lounging in the living room, glued to the news on TV when he heard the ruckus and sprang to his feet. 

“Dr. Edwards, you’re back.” 

Joanna ditched her hat, flashing him a dazzling grin, “Derek, long time no see.” 

Derek’s face went pale as a sheet. He bolted to his room, slamming the door with a loud thud. 

Joanna’s heart sank 

“Derek, don’t be like this,” she pleaded, knocking, “Ms. Edwards gave me the address and told me where to find the spare key.” 

Behind the door, Derek shut his eyes tightly, a look of anguish on his face.

“… just can’t deal with people right now” 

He reached for his phone, thinking about calling Naomi. He needed to know why she’d send Joanna his way 

But as the call connected, he panicked and ended it. 

This was Naomi’s place: she could invite anyone she wanted. What could be, a guy just crashing here, really say about it 

Joanna lingered at the door, her job usually keeping her slammed, but she had snuck away, dodging her manager for this visit. After setting her bags down in the kitchen and neatly organizing the groceries in the fridge, she tried Derek’s door one last time. 

“If you really don’t want to see me, then I’ll head out. I left some food in the kitchen for you. Take care of yourself, and I’ll drop by when I get a chance:
