Naomi gradually calmed down.
âIâm sorry for my attitude before we came here. I shouldnât have been so fierce to you. You helped me by lending me money, but I was being impolite to you.â
Culver was staggered.
He couldnât understand her fickleness. There had still been a hint of disapproval in her voice when she told him to let go of her hand at the last minute.
Unexpectedly, she was apologizing to him at the moment.
He waved his hand and replied, âDonât mention it! Do I look like a petty person? Anyway, whatâs mine is yours, because in the future, youâre going to be my-â
Before he could finish speaking, Naomi had added a few sentences.
âIâve been thinking about the money. I think itâs better for me to pay you back first. Iâm sorry that Iâve caused you a lot of troubles recently. â
Culver, who was originally filled with happiness, was instantly plunged into sorrow when she said so.
âWhat did you say?â
âIâm telling you that we should end our deal.â
Naomi was sick of feeling constrained by their deal since Culver would bring it up whenever there was a disagreement between them.
That kind of life, where she was compelled by others, was not what she wanted.
Upon hearing her words, Culver was furious.
âSo, are you going to sever ties with me?â
âSever ties with you?â Naomi thought about it for a moment and answered, âIâll probably do that. After all, I wonât owe you money anymore.â
âI wonât allow you to do that!â
He grabbed Naomiâs arm hard, as if he was refusing to let go of a precious treasure. Then, he looked keenly at her.
His grip on her arm tightened as well.
âNaomi, donât even think about leaving me!â
Feeling uncomfortable from being pulled, Naomi began to break free of his grasp.
âCulver, let go of me!â
Culver was unwilling to let go as he said to her, âWho do you think I am? Do you think you can leave whenever you want?â
Naomi finally realized that something was wrong.
âYouâve gotten the wrong idea. We ought to pay off our debts, no? Besides, you always remind me to pay the money back, right?â
Culver gritted his teeth in anger. âIâve changed my mind, I donât want your money now. Iâm the creditor, so Iâll be making the call.â
Naomi was at a loss for words.
It was only at the moment that she felt that she was right to call him a pervert.
In addition to the previous quarrel with Nelson just then, Naomi felt that she was mentally and physically exhausted.
âThen, what exactly do you want?â
She got fed up with all the arguments between them.
Culver said, âI want you to stay by my side.â
Naomi frowned. She asked, âWhat for? To cook for you? You really havenât eaten anything delicious, have you? There are many accomplished chefs in the world. Speaking of which, I know a skillful old chef, who is working at a branch under my familyâs management. I can help you to contact him and see if any of his apprentices is willing to-â
âI donât want that!â
Culver decisively rejected her without waiting for her to finish talking.
âWhy? Do you prefer girls to cook for you? Well then, it just so happens that he has a beautiful apprentice, and she is single. Iâll call and ask for you tomorrow.â
Naomi was being serious when it came to fixing him up with another girl.
Moreover, the more she said, the more excited she became, as though she really planned to find a girlfriend for him.
Culver got even sulkier. In the next second, he suddenly pulled Naomi over. Then, he turned around and pressed her against the car door. After that, he kissed her on the lips.
Naomi was dumbfounded. His face was so close to hers and his hot lips reminded her of their current state.
With that being said, she came to her senses.
She thought, âWhat the hell is this pervert doing?â
She opened her mouth and bit him hard on the lips. Culver was in pain, but he failed to let go of her. On the contrary, he deepened the kiss despite the fact that his lips were bleeding.
Seeing that her trick didnât work, she got nervous.
Fortunately, she knew how to fight back. She went all out and managed to have the upper hand.
However, it still took her quite a while to get rid of him. As a result, she was worn out.
She understood that it was unwise for her to continue fighting with him, therefore she ran away immediately.
Culver, who was angry at the moment, shouted at her.
âNaomi, Iâll break your leg if you dare to go beyond three metres from me!â
Naomi didnât care about him at all. To her, staying there with him was more terrible than having her legs broken.
She continued to run, and then she heard his hesitating voice.
âNaomi, I-I-I like you!â
Upon hearing that, she stumbled and almost fell down.
She couldnât believe her ears.
The chauffeur next to them almost fell as well. However, after Culver cast a cold glance at him, he was so frightened that he quickly covered his ears, pretending not to hear their conversation.
Naomi turned her head and rolled her eyes at him. âAre you kidding me? What kind of trick is that?â she asked.
Culver knitted his brows and said, âThis isnât a trick. Iâm confessing my love to you! Canât you hear me properly?â
Naomi was even more dumbfounded, âOkay, I heard it, but I donât like you.â
âWhat did you say?â
Culver suddenly seemed to become so unapproachable that the look in his eye was enough to make peopleâs blood run cold.
Naomi could tell that he was incandescent with rage, but she didnât chicken out. She braced herself and repeated her words, âI donât like you!â
In response to her words, he gave a smirk, âWellâ¦â
Picking up bad vibes from him, Naomi thought something bad was going to happen, hence she ran away hastily.
The next second, Culver gnashed his teeth.
He shouted, âStop her!â
Obviously, the instruction was not for Naomi, but for the secret guards, who were hiding in the surroundings. It was common for the noble or wealthy families to have some secret guards.
As expected, as soon as he had given the order, a group of people came out from nowhere and surrounded Naomi.
âWeâre sorry to offend you, Miss George.â
Naomi was dumbstruck.
Then, she lost consciousness.
â¦
Meanwhile, Eddison went to the hospital after attending a lecture in the morning.
To his surprise, he saw Sierra and Jairus sitting next to each other, seemingly enjoying their time.
His presence irked Jairus a lot.
âWhy are you here again?â
Sierra was a little embarrassed, and there was a blush on her fair skin.
âHi, Eddie.â
Eddison said coldly to Jairus, âGet out of here. I have something to tell her.â
Jairus replied scornfully, âWho do you think you are? Iâm her boyfriend, so why canât I listen to what youâre going to tell her?â
Eddison clenched his fist and yelled at Jairus, âGet out!â
Then, Sierra opened her mouth.
She said, âWell, please give us a minute. Didnât you just say that you need to make a phone call? You donât have to be jealous of a kid like him, okay?â
Only then did Jairus get up and go out after being coaxed by her.
Eddison did not say anything until Jairusâs figure had disappeared at the doorway.
âYou should break up with Jairus. Heâs not a good man.â
Sierra was perplexed. After looking at Eddison for a long time, she let out a laugh.
âHeâs really nice to me. Why do you say so? Is it because of the rumors out there? Please donât believe in those rumors, because in reality, heâs been very kind to me.â
He pursed his lips and said, âThatâs just an illusion. Donât be fooled by him!â
