When Eddison saw that Rachel was having the time of her life drinking, he did not stop her as they were in the comfort of their home too. He also picked up a glass of wine and began to enjoy it slowly with her. After finishing half a bottle of wine, Rachel, who was in front of him, was starting to act a little strange. She stretched her hand out and waved it in front of Eddison, "Am I dreaming? Why are there three of you?" Eddison realized that she must be drunk, therefore he grabbed her wine glass from her hand. "You're drunk, so don't drink anymore!" "I'm not drunk!" Those who were drunk always said that they were sober. Eddison found her antics to be a little funny. "Alright, you're not drunk. Do you want to drink some juice? Do you want me to get you some juice?" "I want to drink yogurt!" Eddison was rendered speechless. Where would he find any yogurt at such an hour? "Anything else? Let me get you some m
After being misunderstood by Eudora, Eddison felt a little embarrassed. He had no idea how to face Rachel. Although he had someone he liked in the past, he had always put Sierra on a pedestal. He had never thought that they would be in such close contact with each other one day. He suddenly realized that and felt a little shy. His heartbeat was gradually quickening so Eddison decided to open the balcony window and take a deep breath. He lit a cigarette and started to smoke slowly. By the time he came to his senses again, more than an hour had already passed. Rachel's voice was long gone from the room, as if he was the only one left in the place. Eddison pushed open the door and saw Rachel lying on the sofa in the room. She had fallen asleep. Her cheeks were slightly red because of the alcohol. Her mouth was slightly ajar, and her nose twitched gently with her breathing. She looked inexplicably cute, like a little rabbit. Eddison could not
Naomi looked at the drawing beside her feet. The drawing had a simple design. However, due to the limited use of colors, it was very pleasing to the eye! With just one glance, Naomi felt that she was attracted to the drawing. She looked at the girl carefully. She was dressed like a student. She had an oval face, and there were a few small freckles on her cheeks! She looked at the girl's table, and found that the side that the girl was sitting at was fairly clean, compared to the opposite side which was filled with leftovers. It was obvious that what she had said just then was true. She had been asked to meet in the restaurant by someone but that person had made their leave first. It was her fault for not seeing through the other party's intention. She was not the kind of person who would dine and dash. "How much is it? I'll pay on her behalf!" Naomi proceeded to tell the manager. Hearing that someone was willing to pay for her, the
Loraine was rendered speechless. Culver was obviously referring to Naomi, but he refused to admit it! "Then, what would you like for dinner? I'll ask someone to cook for you!" "I don't want to eat anymore!" Culver felt depressed. If he could not eat the food that he wanted, nothing would taste good in his mouth. Loraine sighed. Who said that the rich and powerful had no worries? In her opinion, even they had many problems they could not solve. ...... The girl whom Naomi had met at the restaurant was called Sharon Castle. She kept her promise and came to work the next day. There was not much time left, therefore Naomi did not waste much time talking to her. She immediately instructed Sharon to participate in the competition while they were in a meeting. Hearing her orders, the other designers were a little shocked. "She looks like she doesn't have any experience, though." "Isn't today her first day at work? Will this work
"Ah!" An ear-splitting scream broke the silence of the early morning. Rachel pushed Eddison, who was sleeping soundly while hugging her, away. She shouted, "You! Me! Last night, did we..." Eddison fell to the ground with an exasperated look on his face. "Aren't you embarrassed for saying you won't get drunk from a few drinks? You got drunk after drinking just a bit! Then, you pestered me to play with you!" Rachel blinked her eyes, and recalled a few fragments of memories from the night before. It seemed like what Eddison said was true! "What did we play?" Eddison yawned and stood up, "What do you think?" Rachel's face suddenly flushed red. She could not remember anything! Since they were both sleeping together, therefore the night before... The more she thought about it, the more she felt ashamed of herself! Rachel apologized in an embarrassed manner, "I-I'm sorry!" Eddison was stunned, "Why are you apologizing to me? Di
"Maybe it's best for you to leave first. She's not in a good mood right now." Eddison worded it nicely so when he said those words, everyone left without making further comments. As the crowd dispersed, Eddison noticed Rachel who was standing at the edge of the crowd. "Why are you here too?" Rachel came back to her senses as she replied, "Oh! I...everyone is here, so I..." "You weren't startled, right?" Eddison suddenly spoke. Rachel was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that Eddison was asking her if she had been startled by Sierra's sudden appearance that morning. She originally held a bit of resentment, but it dissipated after hearing his words of concern. "I'm fine! It's not like I'm made of paper." "That's good! Then...you should head back!" Rachel had just wanted to ask if he would return home as well, but before she could say anything, Sierra started yelling again. "Don't hit me! Don't hit me!" "Sier
A few days passed in Greene City. The design drawings had been finalized. Naomi was also incredibly sensitive to the fact that Lindsay was in a depressed mood. She had originally planned to wait until the matter was over before talking to her about the promotion. Lindsay had always done incredibly well at her job, and Naomi did not want to lose a capable staff due to that incident. She planned to find an opportunity to announce the promotion during the meeting in the afternoon. With that in mind, she called Emma to discuss the matter. After Emma finished preparing the document, it was already noon. She stretched her body and stood up. "I'm starving. Hurry up! How could you let me starve to death?" Naomi hurriedly apologized, "It's my fault! I forgot about the time! Let's go, I'll treat you to a delicious meal!" "It's a deal! Don't be stingy with your money by then!" "I absolutely won't!" The two talked as they walked out. Coin
Naomi walked a little too fast and accidentally bumped into someone when she came out of the hospital. Coincidentally, that person accidentally bumped on the wound on her neck, Naomi subconsciously hissed, "I'm sorry, are you alright?" That person was stunned for a moment and looked up in surprise. "Miss George!" "Loraine?" Naomi looked at the report in her hand and asked, "Are you not feeling well?" Loraine shook her head, "It was just a routine check-up! Did you burn yourself?" Naomi waved her hand, "It's nothing. It was an accident!" After Naomi ended her conversation with Loraine, she let out a sigh and turned to leave. ...... The Olsen family would arrange for their servants to undergo a physical examination every year. That year, due to the fact that Loraine had to take care of Culver, her medical examination had been postponed. When she returned, she handed her physical examination report to Culver. "Everyth
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
