Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154 He Didn’t Come Over To Her

In the university.

Certainly, Sierra was able to return to university after many days of recuperation.

As one of the most beautiful girls in the university, she attracted everyone’s attention as soon as she returned.

When Eddison passed through the campus gates, he saw Sierra standing in the crowd with a smile on her face. He paused while thinking whether he should go and say hello to her. In the end, he turned around and decided to leave.

Surprisingly, Sierra noticed him. She ran enthusiastically over to him.

“Eddie, what’s wrong with you? Aren’t you happy to see me return?”

He shook his head, “No, it’s not that! I just remember that I’ve got something to-”

“Ah, I see. Then, I won’t keep you any longer. Remember to come to the gathering tonight. We agreed last time that I’ll treat you to a meal after you come back from Country C. Therefore, you must come!”

He nodded. When he was about to turn around and leave, he heard someone shouting behind him.

“Wow, check her out! She’s so beautiful! She seems to be a freshman in the Faculty of Art and Design.”

“Where? Where is she?”

Upon hearing that, Eddison subconsciously turned his head to find that Rachel was slowly walking into the campus. At the same time, a group of boys was rushing towards her.

He knitted his brows slightly and wanted to leave, but he couldn’t restrain his urge to observe what was happening over there.

Gazing at Rachel, who was talking to the boys around her politely, he couldn’t help but frown again.

Sierra, who was standing beside him, asked curiously.

“Isn’t that the girl I saw in the hospital that day? I thought she was in the same department as you. There’s no doubt she’ll be popular because of her good looks!”

He gave a perfunctory nod, and was about to go over and help Rachel.

He wanted to do so because he saw Rachel’s uneasiness. She was timid, and it would be bad if she was frightened again.

Sierra suggested, “Let’s ask her to join our gathering. I’ll go and ask her right now!”

Eddison stopped in his tracks. Sierra was quite influential in university. Rachel would be fine if Sierra went over to her.

…

Rachel didn’t expect that she would be held back by so many people as soon as she entered the campus.

The boys in front of her were a little overzealous. Even though she had been taught about manners since she was a child, she still felt that it was difficult for her to treat all of them with civility at this moment.

Moreover, she had been frightened a few days ago. When she was surrounded by a group of people, she could not help but be reminded of that night. She started to get anxious.

In fact, she had seen Eddison talking with Sierra not far ahead of her, and she really longed for him to come over and save her.

She had happened to meet his eyes when he turned around and looked at her.

She had thought that he would come over.

However, he eventually failed to do so.

Rachel felt a tingling sensation in her nose as she sniffed with disappointment. While thinking about what to do, she heard Sierra’s voice outside the crowd.

“Guys, didn’t you just say that you’re going to show me your support? Why are you so enthusiastic about a freshman? I feel very sad to know about this!”

She was indeed a woman of the hour in the university. She was graceful with her choice of words and her tone was very gentle. There was a hint of teasing in it too. Everyone seemed to be able to accept her gracious warning, hence the crowd started to disperse.

Sierra walked gracefully towards Rachel.

“Are you alright? Don’t be scared!”

Rachel unthinkingly took a step back before she shook her head.

“Thank you, I’m fine.”

Sierra did not get angry. She withdrew her hand and said with a grin, “We have a gathering tonight, so please come and join us.”

Rachel rejected by saying, “It’s too troublesome. I don’t think I’ll go.”

Sierra smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it will be fun! Eddison will be there too. You know him, don’t you?”

Hearing his name, Rachel hurriedly looked at the spot where he had just stood. However, he was no longer there.

She pursed her lips and answered, “Okay, I will go. Thank you for the invitation.”

…

Naomi was as quiet as a mouse recently.

She was extremely obedient and she did whatever Culver asked her to do. Not only did Culver find her behavior strange, but even Loraine was also aware of her abnormal demeanor.

One day, after cleaning the room, Loraine came up to her.

“Are you sick?”

Naomi was in a brown study and she failed to reply to Loraine’s words. It wasn’t until Loraine repeated the question that Naomi came back to her senses.

“Sick? No, I’m just fine.”

“You’re not looking too well, though. If you’re sick, you must see a doctor. Don’t drag it out!”

Loraine was perturbed about her condition.

Naomi was actually quite touched. She felt Loraine was much kinder than the new impartial butler, Winnie. Loraine felt more like family to her.

Even so, Loraine added, “I don’t want Mr. Olsen to be worried about you.”

Naomi didn’t care. She said sincerely, “Thank you, I’m fine. It’s just that I have something on my mind that I can’t figure out.”

“If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it. We are mortals, so of course we’ll be upset by troubles. Only the immortals can see through everything. Instead of being bothered with those annoying thoughts, why don’t you think about something more joyful?”

Naomi let out a laugh, “Wow, Loraine, you’re so wise!”

“Not at all. It’s just that I’m older, so that’s why I know some truths. I like your personality. If someone else were to become Mr. Olsen’s wife, I would rather it be you!”

Naomi was dumbstruck as she asked, “What?”

Loraine seemed to realize that she had made an indiscreet remark, thus she quickly shut her mouth.

“Nothing! You can go and rest now. Leave the rest to me!”

Naomi left since she could no longer get more information out of Loraine. She went back to her room and immediately called Emma, “Could you help me investigate the Olsen family to see if they’re in search of a daughter-in-law lately?”

Emma didn’t pay too much attention to news like that in daily life. After Naomi asked her, she said that she needed some time before hanging up on the call for the time being.

Naomi was lying on the bed. There was a glimmer of hope in her heart that maybe she could escape.

From her perspective, Culver treated her so differently because he hadn’t had much contact with women. If she introduced a lot of girls from noble families to him, he would definitely discover that someone else was better than her and would then forget about her.

The more Naomi thought about it, the happier she was. She felt that she would be free soon.

Shortly afterwards, her phone rang with another call from Emma.

“You’re right! The Olsen family has been contacting ladies from noble families recently. However, it seems that Mr. Olsen is not the one in charge of this, but his mother instead. Rumour has it that although there have been quite a few young noble ladies who are interested in getting to know Mr. Olsen, he hasn’t gone to see any of them.”

Naomi’s eyes lit up in an instant as she said, “It doesn’t matter. Which families are those ladies from? Send me all the information about them.”

Soon, Naomi got the information she wanted.

She flipped through the pages one by one.

Looking at those excellent profiles, she couldn’t help exclaiming, “Wow, they are all outstanding! All of them are talented girls who graduated from prestigious universities. Their family backgrounds are pretty decent too.” The more she read their profiles, the more inferior she felt. She also wondered why Culver refused to know those girls.

In the end, she came to a conclusion that she must help Culver from the sidelines.
