Naomi looked at Culver, who was closing in on her, with vigilance. Subconsciously, she stretched out her arms to protect herself.
âLet me tell you, a gentleman does not attack a woman! If you dare to attack me, I will definitely not forgive you!â
Culver glanced at her and saw that she was getting closer and closer to him.
Naomi had known that Culver was stronger than her.
Culver did not take her seriously at all. Once he were to get serious, a powerful man like him would definitely have the upper hand in a fight.
At that moment, Naomi waved her fist towards Culver.
However, Culver held her wrist easily.
Then as he got closer and closer, Naomiâs heart could not help thumping.
Culver was already dressed in his pajamas. At the moment, his collar was wide open. As he walked closer and closer, his handsome face in front of her also drew closer and closer.
Danger was getting closer and closer as well!
âD-donât come any closer! Otherwise, Iâll hit you!â
âAlright!â Culver grinned. His big hand had already twisted her arm and turned it behind her back.
At that moment, Naomiâs head was directly facing the wall, and her back was facing Culver.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt her throat tighten.
âCulver, if you keep acting like this, Iâll hate you forever!â
âYou did something wrong, and you should accept the punishment. You donât have the right to hate me!â
âCulver!â Naomi gritted her teeth. The next second, with a âclickâ, she felt something cold around her wrist. Culver clapped his hands and let her go.
âFace the wall and think about your mistakes!â
Naomi was confused.
Culver gave her a sidelong glance and asked, âWhy do you look like youâre disappointed?â
Naomi took a deep breath. She really had been scared to death. Culverâs methods were really strange and hard to understand!
Naomi looked at the handcuffs behind her with difficulty.
âWhy do you have this kind of thing?â
Culver frowned. âTo kidnap you, of course! Donât be too touched!â he replied.
Naomi cursed in her heart.
She rolled her eyes inwardly, and then she saw that Culver had turned around and walked towards the bedroom next door!
âWait⦠Donât go!â
Naomi shouted.
She and Culver were the only ones in the room. If Culver was full and went to bed, what should she do?
She would not be locked in this place forever, would she?
Eudora was already incredibly worried about Eddisonâs disappearance. If Naomi were to disappear too, how would Eudora be able to stand such a blow?
Upon hearing her words, Culver turned around and glanced at her.
âWhat?â
âWhatâs there for me to do after youâre gone?â
Culver nodded as he replied, âThatâs true!â
Naomiâs face was full of excitement as she did not expect that Culver would be so reasonable all of a sudden. Sheâd better stop scolding him in the future.
In the next second, Naomi felt an increasingly harsh force pulling her from behind. She was dragged towards the bedroom.
âItâs safer to put you in front of me, so that you wonât be able to escape!â
Naomi was rendered speechless.
She decided to take back her words.
In the bedroom, Culver handcuffed her to the handle of a closet near the door, and then peacefully went to bed.
Naomi muttered to herself for a while, but doing so had no effect on him at all.
He did not look like an insomniac at all. Instead, he fell asleep soundly.
In the end, Naomi also felt tired, therefore she sat down and fell asleep while leaning against the wall.
âIâd better conserve my strength first, so that I can fight with this freak!â she thought to herself before falling asleep.
â¦
Fortunately, Eudora thought that Naomi had gone to look for Eddison.
However, Eddison did not return home after one night of searching around.
At the same time, some people in the business industry had also heard about Eddisonâs disappearance.
After all, the Granger family had spent a lot of manpower to search for Eddison. Everyone in the industry was all well-informed, so they all knew what was going on.
Therefore, the next morning, Rachel also heard of the news.
The Gellert familyâs parents were a little disgusted as they said, âWhatâs wrong with Rachel? Why does he want to run away from the marriage so much?â
âThatâs right. I thought that Mrs. Granger was a nice person and I was moved, but now, I think weâd better forget about the marriage!â
âMom! Dad!â Rachel interrupted them.
âThings are not as you think! Donât make wild guesses!â
âSilly girl, Iâm doing this for your own good,â Bianca scolded as she pretended to be angry.
âI know, but we canât misunderstand a good person, right?â
âAlright, we wonât! Iâd like to see how arrogant he is. Youâre so well-mannered, but he doesnât know how to appreciate you at all!â
âMom, here you go again! Iâm going to work!â
âBe careful!â Bianca sighed and said, âYouâre a girl. Why do you have to be a designer?â
âDonât worry. Iâm just drawing some plans in the office. Everything will be fine!â
Rachel waved his hand. When she went out, she remembered Eddisonâs matter, therefore she called her company.
âIâm sorry. Iâm not feeling very well today. Can I take a day off?â
The companyâs leaders had always appreciated Rachel. She seemed like a weak girl, but she was extremely good at her work.
Moreover, on normal days, her performance was outstanding.
Naturally, they permitted Rachelâs request for a day off.
After that, Rachel went to look for her best friend.
Her best friend, Yvonne Shelby, was a hot-tempered girl, and she had many connections. When she heard that Rachel wanted to find someone, she immediately became curious.
âDonât tell me you are looking for your blind date from yesterday? What happened? Did he run away from home? If so, why are you still looking for him?â
âNo, he didnât run away from home. Why do you think the same way as my parents?â
Yvonne said helplessly, âCome on, donât you know that youâre lying to yourself? Your parents and I are right, youâd better give up!â
âAre you going to help me or not? If youâre not going to help me, then Iâll find other people for help!â
âIâll help! Iâll help!â Yvonne admitted defeat and said, âI have never seen you so determined since you were a child! This is the second time!â
The first time was for her to insist on becoming a designer, and the second time was for a man.
Yvonne immediately started driving and said, âGet in, letâs go and find him first.â
In the car, Yvonne scolded Rachel along the way, asking her not to be so silly, and to be careful as to not to lose herself in her feelings too much.
However, Rachel was thinking about Eddison the entire time, and she did not listen to Yvonneâs words at all.
She believed in her judgment at first sight, just like when she had seen a good-looking house at first sight, she had decided from that day onwards that she was going to become a designer.
When she had seen Eddison for the first time, she also felt that he was her other half.
The sensation was so mysterious that it could not be explained with common sense.
However, after searching for more than half a day, Yvonneâs friends were still unable to gain any information. That was right, if even the Granger family, who had vast connections, were unable to find anything, Yvonne, who was not more powerful than the Granger family, would fail as well.
Rachel felt a little depressed.
She silently murmured in her heart, âGod, please listen to my prayers! I want to find Eddison, and I have never begged you for such a request before!â
She thought that perhaps God had heard her prayers, because as soon as she finished her sentence, she saw Eddison walking out of the intersection in front of her.
Rachelâs eyes lit up, and she quickly went out of the car to meet him.
