After Eddison left, Rachel ran out of the car.
Yvonne was about to take credit for her work, but she was greeted by complaints from Rachel. Rachel said, âYou scared me. Why did you say that?â
Yvonne rolled her eyes and said, âMy good friend is about to be taken away by him, so I needed to test him! However, he turned out to be quite decent! You have good taste! Now, you should be satisfied, right?â
Rachel smiled and said, âThank you!â
Yvonne helplessly pointed at Rachelâs forehead and said, âYou silly girl, why didnât you think about why he needed so much money? What if he has a mistress somewhere?â
âThatâs impossible!â Rachel opened her mouth and said, âHeâs still a student!â
âSo what if he is a student? Canât he keep a mistress?â
âItâs impossible!â Rachel placed her hands on her waist, which made Yvonne laugh so hard that she could not keep her eyes open.
âDo you know what you look like now? You look like an angry mistress!â
âWhat?â Rachel hastily stood properly, saying, âDid I look very ugly? Did Eddison see me?â
âWho cares!â Yvonne turned around and left.
â¦
After Eddison received the money, he immediately transferred the money to his roommates, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
After he closed the chat box, he opened his schoolâs website and read the ranking on the school page. Sierraâs ranking was a little behind, but she was gradually getting more votes and catching up!
As long as her votes gradually increased until the deadline on the next day, Sierra should be able to rank first!
Eddison took a deep breath and looked down at his work schedule. Had he struck gold? He felt that he was a little too lucky.
He had met a person who was willing to give him an advance payment, and the job that person had given him was one he specialized in.
Maybe it was not a coincidence?
However, who would help him at a time like that?
Eddison shook his head. No matter what, he had to do his job well.
â¦
After a nightâs rest, Eudora felt much more comfortable.
When she got up in the morning, Eudora found that Naomi had not come back either.
When Eudora asked Cindy about Naomiâs whereabouts, she had no idea either.
Eudora was truly worried. She immediately dialed Naomiâs number. Luckily, the call went through.
At that moment, Naomi had just fallen into a deep sleep.
After having a barbecue with Culver for the whole afternoon the previous day, she had a feeling that Culver seemed to be treating her a little better.
He no longer made things difficult for her, which was weird for her. However, later on, she thought that maybe that freak was stung by his own conscience!
However, he still had not returned her phone to her.
When she was in thought, a familiar ringtone rang. Naomi sat up immediately. She had set a special ringtone for everyone in her family. The call was obviously from Eudora.
Eudora must have been looking for her because she did not return home.
Her health was not in good condition. If Eudora were to find out that she had been locked up by Culver, she would definitely not be able to stand such a blow.
Naomi thought of that, and quickened her pace.
No matter what method she had to use, even if she had to beg, she had to ask Culver to give her back her mobile phone so that she would be able to comfort Eudora.
As she thought of that, she forcefully pushed open Culverâs door.
The door was not locked. As soon as she opened it, she saw a sliver of skin. Culver was changing his clothes. Naomi turned around in a hurry.
âI didnât mean to peek!â
Culver was stunned for a moment. When he saw Naomiâs slightly red ears, the corners of his lips curled up.
âWait a minute!â
Naomiâs back froze. He wasnât thinking about asking her to take responsibility, was he?
âI didnât see anything! I really didnât!â
While she spoke, Culver had already walked over to her. What was even more repulsive was that he was still not wearing any clothes. His upper body was bared, so she could see his broad shoulders, his slender waist, and his toned six-pack.
Every step of his was domineering!
Naomi immediately remembered what Culver had done to her when she was tied up that day.
She hurriedly stepped back, âIâm warning you, I will fight back! Donât think that you can do whatever you want just because you are a man! Iâ¦â
As she spoke, she began to wave her fists.
However, in the next second, her fists were caught by his big palms. Naomiâs heart jolted and she struggled hard, but she could not break free.
She should have thought of such a reaction!
Culver was no ordinary person. In the past, she could always hit him, but that was because he had not exerted his strength at all!
âCulver, Iâ¦â
Before Naomi could finish her sentence, her fingers had already been pried open. A tinge of coldness spread across her palm. She frowned and saw that it was her phone.
âYour phone is ringing!â
Naomi was confused.
Before all this, she had reckoned that she had seen a lot of people and had experienced human nature a lot, but Culverâs behavior confused her completely.
He would challenge her threshold whenever she thought that he was finally being nice, yet he would treat her nicely whenever she thought that he was mean and demanding.
For a moment, a plethora of thoughts flew through Naomiâs mind. She had completely forgotten that she had been staring at Culverâs upper body the entire time.
That was until she heard his soft laughter. âHow long do you intend to stare?â he asked.
Naomi came to her senses and awkwardly turned her head away.
âI⦠Itâs not what you thinkâ¦â
âThen, what is it? Didnât you just say that youâre going to fight back?â
Naomi was rendered speechless.
Feeling her cheeks burning, Naomi  turned her head in a hurry and ran away with her mobile phone in her hands.
â¦
In the corridor, Naomi answered the call only after she had calmed down.
On the other end of the call was Eudoraâs anxious voice as she asked, âNaomi, where are you?â
âMom!â Naomi gently stroked her chest, which was still beating wildly, as she tried to calm herself down. She replied, âIâm fine! I just have some business to deal with at the moment, therefore I went to settle it!â
âAre you really okay?â
âYes, Iâm really fine. Itâs just that I couldnât continue to look for Eddison. I donât know what has happened to him!â
âHeâs fine. Your father has found him. He is distributing leaflets outside now!â
Naomiâs heart skipped a beat. Was Sugar Bun actually distributing leaflets as a job?
âMom, donât worry. When Iâm done with my work, Iâll go and find him immediately. I wonât let himâ¦â
Before she finished her words, Eudoraâs laughter could be heard from the other end of the phone as she said, âNaomi, did you know? When Sugar Bun was young and he saw someone giving out leaflets in a Tigger outfit, he liked it very much. At that time, I was thinking that Sugar Bun would probably not have such a chance to distribute leaflets in his entire life! I really didnât expect that he would fulfill his childhood dream!â
Naomi was confused.
Naomi thought to herself, âMom, please come to your senses. If this happened to someone elseâs child, they would probably be heartbroken.â
âMom, are you okay?â asked Naomi.
Exasperated, Eudora replied, âYou donât think Iâm going mad, did you? Of course Iâm happy for him! You and Sugar Bun can support yourselves. Even if you donât have our protection, you can still support yourself. Why should I be unhappy? Iâm really glad!â
Naomi also smiled.
That was right. Eudora really was such a person. She was always different from other people, but at the end of the day, she was a mother who loved her children with all her heart.
âMom, I love you!â
Eudora was stunned, âSilly child, why are you saying that out of the blue? Although Iâve said all that, you still have to take care of yourself and Sugar Bun. Come back as soon as you finish your work, okay?â
âOkay!â Naomi nodded. As soon as she hung up on the call and turned back, she spotted Culver standing behind her.
âWas that your mother?â Culver asked.
Naomiâs heart tightened. Had he found out about her identity?
