My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1141

Naomi asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

"Don't you want to go home? I've been in Rosaville City for so long, but I haven't seen your parents yet.

So, I'll go back with you tomorrow."

"I don't think that's a good idea."

Naomi didn't want Culver to go back with her.

She always felt that she and Culver belonged to two different worlds. It irked her to think that she was

connected to him in various aspects of life.

Although the Granger family didn't need to be afraid of him, she didn't want her parents to be worried

about her.

If she were to bring him back, everyone would think that he was her boyfriend. That would cause a lot

of trouble.

Culver frowned as he asked, "Why do you seem displeased?"

She was stumped by his question.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the corridor.

Naomi shook her head and said, "No! We're friends, so of course I'm pleased to hear that. It's just that

it's my personal affairs, so it's not very convenient for outsiders to know about it."

Culver said, "I'm not an outsider."

His tone had no hesitation.

He acted as if they were extremely close, but to Naomi, he was indeed an outsider.

However, the situation was urgent, so she didn't have much time to think about it.

"Yes, you are certainly not an outsider. You are my best friend now. I don't want you to know the

distressing incidents that have happened in my family because you are so outstanding, and I'm afraid

that I will feel inferior to be your friend."

After she had said so, she thought to herself, "Ew, that's gross!"

She didn't expect that she could say such cloying words. However, she had no choice but to say so as

she wanted to blarney him into giving up his idea of following her back home.

Culver was very satisfied to hear that. He answered, "I didn't expect you to care so much about me!"

Naomi was rendered speechless by his smugness.

Naomi thought, "Well, you can think whatever you wish. Anyway, I'm going home!"

She said, "Wait for me here. Let's head back to Greene City together after I've done ironing out my

personal affairs."

"Okay!" Culver listened to her obediently.

Naomi, on the other hand, felt that there was an unwanted tractability in his manner. With his

personality, he looked compliant and adorable to Naomi, just like a docile puppy. Suddenly, she felt the

urge to pinch his face.

As she thought about it, she stretched out her hand.

When she was a child, she had developed the habit of pinching the faces of the two younger boys

around her, Eddison and Benedict.

After they had grown up, she hadn't felt such an urge for a long time.

"What do you want to do?"

She heard his voice. Only then did she come back to her senses.

She thought, "Oh my God. I must have lost my mind. Why would I let my guard down in front of this

pervert? Why would I want to pinch his face? I must have gone crazy!" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

She hurriedly withdrew her hand and explained, "It's not what you think."

Culver asked with a smile, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"You want to pinch my face, don't you?"

Naomi's heart skipped a beat as she said, "No, I didn't do it on purpose. I'm just-"

"Feel free to do so!"

Upon hearing his words, Naomi's jaw dropped. "What?" she asked.

"You can pinch my face! I'm willing to let you do that."

As soon as Culver finished talking, he bent over with his face approaching hers. As a result, she felt the

caress of his breath on her cheek.

It was undeniable that her heart was palpitating at the moment.

"Um, there's no need for that."

She ran away.

As she went far away, Culver looked at her back intently while trying to rub his own cheeks with his

hands.

He was discombobulated. It seemed that she wanted to pinch him just now, but she held back at the

last moment. He wondered if there was any problem with his face.

He told himself, "Perhaps I should start using some skincare products."

Initially, Naomi thought that her family would be in a state of chaos. After all, she was well aware of

Eddison's disposition. He was the sort of person who appeared to be carefree on the outside, but he

was actually quite the persistent person.

However, she found that she seemed to be mistaken when she came home.

The entire Clearwater Bay was so quiet and serene that she thought there was no one at home.

When she saw Cindy coming out, she quickly asked her about the situation.

Cindy said joyfully, "Everything's fine at home. Young Master Eddison is reading in his room, whereas

Mrs. Granger went to the Granger Mansion to make some preparations since the wedding will be held

there."

"Didn't Eddison kick up a fuss?"

"No, he didn't! He has agreed to marry Miss Gellert."

"I see. I'll go up and see him!" said Naomi.

Naomi opened the door of Eddison's room, and she saw him sitting on the rattan chair in front of the

window. He was holding a book in his hand, but it seemed that he was not reading it at all. He had

stopped at the same page for a long time.

Meanwhile, he was spacing out. It was not until Naomi came near to him that he noticed her presence.

Glancing at Naomi, he said indifferently.

"Welcome home."

After that, he lowered his head and stared blankly at the book.

Naomi sat opposite him. "Don't you have anything to say to me?" she asked.

He replied gloomily, "No!"

"Seriously? Don't you want to run away?"

Hearing the words 'run away', he raised his head and looked at Naomi.

"No, I don't!"

"Then, what about that senior of yours? Don't you want to woo her?"

He knitted his brows, and he clenched the book hard with his fingers.

"As expected, Benedict won't keep his mouth shut!"

Benedict liked Naomi a lot. As long as Naomi asked him anything, he would tell her everything he knew

about Eddison.

"Just tell me whether you want to pursue your own happiness or not. If you want to, I will help you

escape!"

Eddison answered with a rueful smile, "Pursue my own happiness? Do you think that happiness is

something that we can possess once we pursue it?"

"Why can't we? It’s pathetic to give up even before you try it."

Naomi was irritated by his discouragement. As far as she recalled, Eddison had always been very

determined. She didn't expect him to be so dispirited this time.

"Forget it!" said Eddison as he was burying his head in his hands.

"Leave me alone. I will accept my fate."

Naomi gritted her teeth, saying, "Eddison, cheer up! Don't make me look down on you!"

Losing his temper, he retorted, "What about you? You've been pursuing your happiness. What

happened in the end?"

Truth be told, he had blurted that out impetuously. After saying so, he immediately regretted his words.

The past incident between Naomi and Nelson had always been a thorn in her heart. It really pierced

her heart for him to bring the matter up.

"I'm sorry."

Then, she turned around and went out.

However, things had failed to happen as he wished.

Outside the door, Naomi was wiping her tears from the corner of her eyes.

Her cell phone rang with a call from Culver.

"How are things going? Do you need my help?"

Naomi replied sullenly, "No."

There was a moment of silence. A second later, Culver asked, "Are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell

me!"
