As Eddison's wife, she could actually ask who Sierra was at the moment, but she eventually stayed silent. "Let's get in the car!" When they walked to the car, Eddison opened the car door for her. She shook her head, saying, "It's okay, you can go and attend your lecture. I can go back by myself." He repeated, "Get in the car!" Rachel no longer insisted. Since she was a child, Bianca had been teaching her that as a refined lady, she should always be her husband's support and take care of their children wholeheartedly. In particular, she shouldn't argue with her husband. When a disagreement arose, she should respect her husband's decision. In fact, there was once a time when she questioned that idea. However, later onwards, she gradually accepted that ideal. It was not until Eddison had sent Rachel back to the apartment that he went to the lecture. However, Rachel had a strange feeling in her heart. Nevertheless, she was in no mood to
Noticing that she did not speak, Culver took a step forward. "What's wrong? Have you changed your mind?" Naomi took a step back, trying to get further away from him. "Of course not! Now that we have agreed on a one-on-one fight, let's go to the gym. If I win, you have to let me go! I will pay you back all the money that I've owed you. In the future, we will never have anything to do with each other." She knew that she couldn't beat Culver if she fought him in an usual fight since she had tried to do so several times before. Therefore, she strategized to compete with him by using a set of more diverse moves. To her, he was still trustworthy as a businessman, although he was a 'pervert'. She recalled her conversation with Loraine last time where she had mentioned she had practiced various types of fighting styles. Loraine told her that Culver had practiced various fighting styles when he was a child, but his passion had only lasted for a fe
In the university. Certainly, Sierra was able to return to university after many days of recuperation. As one of the most beautiful girls in the university, she attracted everyone's attention as soon as she returned. When Eddison passed through the campus gates, he saw Sierra standing in the crowd with a smile on her face. He paused while thinking whether he should go and say hello to her. In the end, he turned around and decided to leave. Surprisingly, Sierra noticed him. She ran enthusiastically over to him. "Eddie, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy to see me return?" He shook his head, "No, it's not that! I just remember that I've got something to—" "Ah, I see. Then, I won't keep you any longer. Remember to come to the gathering tonight. We agreed last time that I'll treat you to a meal after you come back from Country C. Therefore, you must come!" He nodded. When he was about to turn around and leave, he heard someone shouting b
"That's it! I'll find an opportunity to make him meet these girls. Once he meets them, there will be a chance for them to fall in love. Then I will be free!" Naomi came up with a wishful idea, but Emma threw a wet blanket over it. "Didn't you say last time that Mr. Olsen is stubborn? You failed to persuade him into hiring a new chef, right? So, do you really think that you'll succeed this time?" Naomi shook her head vigorously. "That's different. People have preferences for food, and it's unvarying. On the contrary, human's feelings are more likely to change due to the mutable nature of love. Trust me, I'm experienced in this field." Emma immediately shut up. The reason was that Naomi had been hurt in her last relationship. So, Emma did not dare to refute. If Emma continued to talk, Naomi would be upset when those unpleasant past incidents were mentioned. While Emma was trying not to distress her, Naomi had made up her mind. Loraine
Naomi was stunned for a moment before she spoke with a smile. "Even if it wasn't you, I'd still save a stranger I saw by the roadside if something happened to them!" Loraine was amused by her words. "Don't think that I don't know about your intentions." Naomi felt embarrassed, "Didn't you already know from the beginning? I didn't do anything bad, therefore there's nothing to hide!" Loraine was surprised by her frankness, "Well, I didn't expect you to be so candid." After that, she held Naomi up and said, "That's exactly why you're silly." Naomi didn't understand, "Why is that?" "Aren't you silly? You just helped me and got yourself injured. If you directly said it was for me, maybe I would tell you about Mr. Olsen's childhood as a way to express my gratitude." Naomi was baffled. "You're not that easy to be fooled, are you?" Loraine burst into laughter, "You never know until you try. Anyways, let me take you to the hospit
"No, they haven't!" Culver spoke lightly, but the harsh tone in his voice could not be masked at all. Aaron did not dare to ask any more questions. He hung up on the call instantly and went to arrange it. Culver, on the other hand, stood there for a while. When he recalled that Naomi wanted to go somewhere with him the next day, he opened his wardrobe and looked through his clothes. It was his first official date, therefore he should prepare for it, shouldn't he? ...... Abroad, it was night time. For young people, night was when the fun began. Sierra sat in the middle of a brightly-lit bar. She was surrounded by some of her friends who had been invited there that day. Truth be told, when Eddison walked to the door, he felt a little hesitant and backed away a little. Sierra had said that they were going to have dinner, but why had the venue turned out to be a bar? However, before he turned around, he heard Sierra calling out to him.
Rachel stood there motionlessly, and Eddison suddenly felt a little annoyed. "Why aren't you getting in?" Rachel held her breath. She told him, "No, thanks. I'll ask my driver to pick me up." Eddison frowned and said, "Fine! Then, you just wait here all you want!" After that, he opened the door and got into the car. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned back, wanting to scare Rachel. "Don't blame me for not reminding you that there are a lot of hooligans around here. Be careful not to be targeted!" Rachel was timid, therefore his words made her heart skip a beat. However, she was so upset and did not want to give in. She didn't want to appear cowardly anymore! She didn't want to be looked down on! She became angry and turned her head away. Eddison frowned. Then, he got into the car and drove away. It was not until Eddison's car had gone far away that Rachel felt a little scared. She called her driver again,
Although she was being scolded, Rachel was still a little happy when she saw Eddison getting angry. "Were you worried about me?" "Why would I be worried about you? I just suddenly remembered that I dropped something, so I came back to look for it!" Rachel knew it in her heart that he was actually worried, therefore she did not argue with him, and allowed him to say whatever he wanted. After a moment of silence, Eddison could not help but ask her again. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine!" Rachel shook her head and said, "I found a secluded place to hide! Aren't I smart?" It was not until then that Eddison noticed that there was some dust on some parts of her head. She was like a dirty little kitten. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. "From now on, you're not allowed to lose your temper with me! You need to leave when I tell you to!" Rachel lowered her head and stayed quiet. Her stubbornness rose again. Eddis
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
