Naomi looked at the pan with much anxiety. "This won't explode, right?" Nelson shook his head and reassured her, "No, it won't. You can put it in slowly!" Naomi held the piece of salmon in her hands and moved forward towards the pan a little. Then, she backed away in a timid way. She said, "I'm still a little scared!" At the moment, she was no longer as tough as she had been when she fought with those men that night. She had become like a little girl who was facing her fears. It was an adorable scene. Nelson really loved the way she looked at the moment. He reached out his hand and held her arm as he cajoled, "Slowly put it down like this..." Before his voice faded, the water on the salmon came into contact with the oil on the pan, making some noise and frightening Naomi. As a result, she jumped straight into Nelson. Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and her arms were tightly wound around his neck. "Didn't you say it wou
The next day, when Naomi opened her eyes, Nelson stretched out his hand and grazed her nose. "Baby boo, the sun is up, do you not want to get up already?" Naomi rubbed her eyes and replied, "It's already past nine o'clock? Why didn't you wake me up?!" Nelson held his forehead and said, "I tried to wake you up thrice, but you said you wanted to sleep more!" Naomi was speechless. She hurriedly got up and changed her clothes. She said, "I've told Auntie Cindy that I would be at Master Clarke's for three days. If I don't go to work today, I'll be dead!" "Don't be in such a rush!" Nelson reached out to hold her. "Is your body alright?" Naomi had already forgotten about that matter. Now that he mentioned it, she immediately felt a faint pain in some parts of her body. She felt her cheeks turning hot and replied, "I'm fine!" "I've prepared your clothes and squeezed the toothpaste for you. I've also sent a message to your superior in
After Monique left, Nelson called Richard to the office again. "When did she arrive? Why didn't you tell me?" Richard shook his head and explained, "I only just found out too! However, when she was talking to you inside, I investigated her past whereabouts. It turns out that she came to Rosaville City on the second day of your injury, and she has been hiding herself well..." Nelson tapped his fingers on the table, "That means she might have full knowledge of what I've been doing these past few days?" There was a lingering fear on Richard's face as he said, "It's quite possible!" Naomi's face was the first thing that came to Richard's mind and he quickly added, "As for Miss George..." Nelson had already stood up. As soon as he stepped out, he retreated again. As soon as he stepped out, he retreated again, "It's fine. She'll be alright!" He could not go at this moment. Although he kept telling himself that he was just acting as Naomi's boyf
Nelson fell silent. It was really hard to understand women. As he was thinking, Monique spoke again. "Well, I just said it casually to scare you. Your darling girlfriend isn't afraid of rats, but I am! There are rats in my new house. You are off work now, right? Come and help me to deal with it!" Without waiting for Nelson to reply, she hung up on the call. Nelson frowned as he was reluctant to go. However, Monique had always been a very neurotic woman. He was worried that she would do something to Naomi, therefore he got up and left. On his way there, he went to the pharmacy and bought some medicine that was specially used to treat rats. Then, he went to the address that Monique mentioned. After he pressed on the doorbell, the door was opened from inside almost instantly. Monique wore a white silk pajamas, with her curly hair hanging on her shoulders. Her charming red lips matched her alluring figure. As soon as Nelson looked at her, he
Although Eudora had never gone against Naomi's desire to pursue happiness, this time, she was a little angry. "You're only twenty years old. How could you..." Naomi frowned and said, "Mom, it's precisely because I'm already twenty years old that I can make my own judgments! Nelson is really kind to me! We'll be extremely happy if we're together!" Eudora pursed her lips and said, "If he really is good to you, why would he do such a thing before we accepted him?" Naomi lowered her head and said, "At that time, the circumstances were special. In short, Mom, I believe in Nelson!" Eudora felt that her heart was starting to feel uneasy. At first, she had reckoned that Nelson was a decent person, but at the moment, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that he wasn't quite reliable! "Let me think about this matter." After that, Eudora got up and went upstairs. ...... Amos had to attend a dinner party in his company that day. Although he
Nelson could not sleep since leaving Monique's place a night ago. He had no idea that Monique harbored those kinds of feelings towards him before. Now that he knew, he felt quite awkward. What was even stranger was that he actually felt sorry towards Naomi. He rubbed his forehead, and stared at the sky outside that was gradually clearing up more and more. It was only then that he got up to wash up and drove out. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had driven towards a place near Valiant East! Naomi would get out of the car there every day when she arrived at work. As soon as Nelson stopped the car, he saw Naomi coming out from a car in front of him. Almost without any hesitation, Nelson ran forward Naomi and stopped her. "Naomi..." As Naomi turned around, she crashed into his warm embrace. When she confirmed that the person she crashed into was Nelson, the corners of her lips curled up. "Why are you here
Nelson's heart throbbed, yet he held down that painful feeling and smiled. "You'll definitely give us your blessing because Naomi and I are truly in love!" Amos frowned. As Nelson finished speaking, he turned around and left! Originally, the winner of the night was supposed to be Inchee Group. Everyone was already certain about that! All the other bidders were just planning to have fun. However, to everyone's surprise, Valiant East had arrived as well. This time, the other bidders didn't even bother to join in anymore. It was impossible for them to defeat both Inchee Company and Valiant East. It was going to be an exciting night for sure! However, to their surprise, after the bidding started, Inchee Group only offered their bid price once, and that was the minimum bid. After that, it was Valiant East that was dominating the auction. Inchee Group wasn't even trying to raise their bid! The crowd began to whisper in low voices, "Pfft,
Naomi laughed at his words. "What's the matter? Why do you look so well-behaved today? Have you done something bad behind my back?" Naomi asked jokingly. Nelson was nervous for a moment, "What?" "That's what my colleague said! When a boyfriend suddenly treats his girlfriend well, he must have done something bad to her!" Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, what wrongful act could I have possibly done?" Naomi thought for a moment and said, "Who knows? You could be having an affair behind my back, or maybe you're hooking up with another girl!" Exasperated, Nelson retorted, "How would I have the time?" "Oh, so it's because you don't have the time to do so. So, you would definitely hook up with a girl if you had the spare time?" Nelson was rendered speechless. "No, no! Don't get me wrong! I'm innocent!" Naomi let out a laugh. "I'm just kidding! You must be really tired from work, right? You look exhausted. Do you feel be
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
