In the end, Naomi did not cook risotto. She only made a simple bowl of oatmeal.
When Loraine saw this, she immediately went to look for the ingredients to prepare some side dishes.
âYoung Master Culverâs favorite Trigreat Brandâs snacks have finished, so I will buy some immediately.â
Naomi froze for a moment before saying, âArenât you taking things a little too far? Trigreat Brand does not have any exclusive stores in this area. It will take you a few hours to get there and back!â
âHow will Young Master Culver eat without any snacks?â
âDo we have zucchini?â Naomi said in a light tone.
âI think I saw a small zucchini in the refrigerator just now! Iâll go and get it!â
âAh?â Loraine hesitated and said, âBut Young Master Culver does not like zucchini!â
âYou forgot that his taste in food has changed!â
Loraine realized that and did not stop her. She went to get the zucchini and washed them clean. When she was about to cut them, Naomi stopped her again.
âYou donât need to cut it. Iâll use the whole zucchini! Let me do this!â
Then, with a snap, she chopped it up a few more times. Naomi poured some seasoning on it and said, âIâll bring the food to him!â
Loraine was dumbfounded.
Naomi had cooked the zucchini way too simply! Wouldnât Young Master Culver suffer from eating it?
After she thought about it, she decided to go out to buy some snacks as soon as possible. What if Young Master Culver did not like the food Naomi had prepared? If they drove faster, she might be able to come back in forty minutes.
â¦
Upstairs, Culver laid in the room for a while. He was unable to fall asleep, therefore he got up and went downstairs.
Ever since he had taken over the company, he had never waited for a meal with such peace of mind!
He had been busy every day, thinking about all kinds of projects.
However, when he arrived downstairs, he saw Naomiâs figure from the window of the kitchen.
She wore a floral apron, and the pot in front of her was steaming. She stirred the pot with a spoon in her hand.
Smoke curled up, making the scene in front of him look like a dream.
Culver seemed to have seen such a scene from many years ago again. The scene at that time had Marilyn, who was currently estranged from him, busying herself in the kitchen.
Inexplicably, the agitation in his heart settled down in an instant.
He took a deep breath and returned to his room.
When Naomi took the food to the room, he had already fallen asleep.
Naomi pushed the door open and said, âItâs time to eat!â
However, Culver did not wake up. His long eyelashes fluttered under his eyelids like butterfly wings.
Naomi was stunned for a moment, and quietly turned around. When she was about to go out, Culver moved and the blanket covering him fell off.
Naomi put the food down and picked up the blanket for him.
When she got closer, she noticed that Culver really was quite handsome. Usually, due to the fact that he was difficult to please, many would ignore his good looks.
In fact, he did not look particularly masculine. He looked a little bit feminine, especially with his fair skin tone.
His skin was really fairer than a womanâs, which made people jealous.
Naomi silently took a look at her own fingers, which were full of calluses after years of practicing self defense. âTsk, I really canât compare with him,â she thought to herself.
While she was in deep thought, Culver suddenly reached out and pinched her fingers.
âAs Iâve mentioned, you canât harbor any feelings for me.â
He suddenly came closer, which made Naomi, who had been in deep thought, blush instantly. The usual confident her suddenly was at a loss for words.
âI⦠I⦠What are you talking about? I was just picking up the blanket for you.â
Culver looked at her flushed face suspiciously as he said, âIt better be that. After all, I would never fall in love with you!â
Naomi rolled her eyes in exasperation. She told him, âDonât worry, Iâm not interested in a narcissist like you at all! Since youâre awake, eat the oatmeal on the table!â
Culverâs eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and walked over.
After eating a mouthful of oatmeal, he looked at the side dish.
âWhatâs this? Zucchini?â
âYes!â Naomi walked out and remembered what Loraine said. She said, âThatâs all we have. Eat it if you want to.â
Before she could finish her words, she heard Culverâs voice.
âItâs delicious.â
Naomi was in disbelief.
Did Culver need to be so supportive of her dishes? For a home cook like her, she would grow overly confident in her cooking skills if he continued acting that way.
By the time Loraine returned, Culver was already full. He even ordered Loraine, âBuy some more zucchinis next time.â
Loraine was rendered speechless, but she was also happy that Culver was no longer picky with his food.
â¦..
In the evening, Emma called Naomi.
âThe customer from last time contacted us again. We will sign the contract tomorrow. Will you be back?â
Naomi shook her head and said, âItâs okay, the company belongs to both of us. You can sign the contract as well. It wasnât easy for me to coax this annoying guy. Hopefully, there will be no more problems.â
âOkay!â Emma answered in a hurry.
When Emma was about to hang up on the call, another question popped into her head.
She asked hesitantly, âHave you called your family recently?â
Naomi was taken aback as she said, âNo, I havenât. Why? Whatâs the matter? Did anything happen back at home?â
âAh, nothing happened.â Emma shook her head as she continued, âI was just thinking that you could call home once you are free, as maybe Mrs. Granger misses you!â
âForget it!â Naomi said with a sigh, âI was the one who made the promise. Now that Iâm in such a situation, I donât have the gall to call them. What if my parents think I can longer survive here by myself and they try to help me? Iâd better not make trouble for them!â
Although she said so, after she hung up on the call, Naomi scrolled through her mobile phone and fidgeted with it for a while. However, in the end, she gave up!
It was better not to let Eudora worry about her!
At that moment, there was indeed a stir in the Granger family in Rosaville City.
Amos was holding Eudora tightly with both arms, as if he was holding the worldâs most precious treasure.
Leon, who stood aside, looked helpless as he said, âMr. Granger, youâd better put Mrs. Granger down!â
âWill this affect your treatment?â
âIt wonât, but Iâm worried that youâll be too tired if you keep acting like this.â
âIâm not tired!â Amos said in a deep voice.
Just then, Eudora had suddenly fainted for no reason. Last time, when she had mentioned that she was not in good health, he had always paid attention to her health.
He had done everything according to the doctorâs words. He thought that he had done everything perfectly, but why had she suddenly fainted?
Leon started the examination. After a while, he said.
After a while, he said, âItâs not a big problem. Itâs just that Mrs. Granger has been too depressed recently, and her body was reacting to the stress. Thatâs why she suddenly fainted.â
âThen, will it affect her health?â Amos asked anxiously.
âWellâ¦â Leon hesitated before saying, âAs long as itâs an illness, it will have some effect!â
Upon hearing his words, Amosâs face, which was originally upset, became even sadder!
âI want her to be fine! Leon, I beg you! I want her to be fine!â
Amos suddenly became so solemn that Leon was stunned.
He had known Amos for a long time. Amos had always been a domineering person, and Leon was surprised to hear Amos suddenly begging him with such a tone.
It moved him.
âOf course, I will try my best!â
âNo, I donât just want you to do your best. I want you to guarantee that Eudora will be fine.â
