Daddy’s Doting Addiction

Chapter 86

Chapter 86 “Don‘t be scared.” Through the high–pitched screams and chilling sobs, Jack heard the sound of Naomi‘s silvery voice. It was like a bright light had pierced through the darkness and was shining down on him. He hesitated for a moment before slowly lifting his head to see Naomi‘s caring eyes. He could see again! Naomi‘s eyes were clear and bright. It was like an angel appeared before him. “Let‘s get you out of here,” Naomi said as she covered Jack‘s ears with her hands. The world instantly turned silent as the waves of screams and cries disappeared, and the dark room was nothing but an ordinary space. Ten years ago, she had also covered his ears and saved him from that scary place. Naomi could not clearly see Jack‘s expression in the darkness. She leaned closer to him to speak into his ear when the music died down. “Let‘s go!” ; Jack had watched over her when they first entered the haunted house, so it was her turn to repay the favor. “Okay,” Jack replied softly as he obediently got up to his feet. After crossing the final section of the haunted house, the six–foot–tall Jack Hough was escorted hand–in–hand out of the building by Naomi. “Phew, we finally made it!“. Naomi sighed as she raised her arms and stretched her back. The air outside was unexpectedly refreshing. She turned back and saw Jack staring intently at her, and her heart skipped a beat. Did he remember their bet and want her to put on a dance for a whole minute? “What... What are you thinking? Don‘t forget that I was the one who got you out of there!” Naomi snapped frantically before Jack had the chance to bring up the bet. “That‘s not what I‘m thinking about,” Jack replied with a frown. As he stepped forward in her direction, Naomi‘s entire body was covered by his tall shadow. It was as if there was no way she could disappear from his world again. Jack lowered his head and gazed deeply into Naomi‘s eyes. Once or twice could be considered coincidences, but three times? There could not possibly be that many coincidences in the world! “Ten years ago, did you go to Spring–“|

“Attention, attention, special call!” Jack‘s phone suddenly began to ring before he could finish his sentence. The familiar ringtone made Naomi recall the sound of the woman‘s voice from that night, and her brows instantly furrowed. “I think you should hurry up and answer that important phone call. I‘m going

to get a drink,” Naomi scoffed as she stormed off toward a faraway concession stand before Jack could respond. Jack opened his mouth to speak, but he said nothing and ended up answering the phone with a sullen face.

He missed out on the moment in the end. “Hello?”

On the other end of the phone, Queenie‘s heart dropped. “Jacky? Did I interrupt something? Are you mad at me?” she asked gently as if testing the waters.

It was the first time in the past eight years that Jack had used such a cold tone on her. Jack softened his tone as he walked away from the crowd. “It‘s nothing. What‘s up?“. Naomi stood in line at the concession stand and could not help but pout. She had no idea why the sound of that ringtone could affect her this much. She was in an even fouler mood than when they first arrived at the park! “What‘s wrong with me? Why am I so mad?” Naomi shook her head when a young man in a white shirt accidentally bumped into her. “I‘m sorry!” The young man apologized, then quickly rushed off. “It’s okay, you—” Naomi‘s head shot up. She could vaguely see the familiar silhouette of the young man moving through the crowd. Mister Long Legs?
