My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 1161
Naomi wanted to explain that it was not entirely the case. However, when she thought about it again, such an outcome was probably the best for the both of them.
She lowered her head, silently agreeing to his question.
Culver was fuming with rage when he saw that she was no longer speaking. He clenched his fists and his whole body tensed up.
"I've told you before, I hate people who don't keep their promises."
Naomi pursed her lips. "I..."
"Since you've come for dinner, what's the point in you leaving?"
Naomi was stunned. Before she could react, Culver pulled her and took her back into the private room.
Inside the private room, it was supposed to be happy and harmonious.
Due to the fact that both the elders of the two families were in a good relationship with each other, they were speaking as if they were already in-laws. Then, with a loud bang, the door to the private room was pushed open forcefully.
The room suddenly quieted down.
The two families looked at the door in shock. Culver slowly walked in with a smile on his face.
Marilyn was the first to react and she pretended to be vexed.
"Culver, I've told you before, no matter how anxious you are, you can't act so recklessly. You've scared Queenie!"
Culver did not say anything. However, his blind date stood up gracefully.
"It's okay, Mrs. Culver! Mr. Olsen must be busy with the company's affairs every day. It's good that he can come."
"Queenie, you're quite the considerate one. Please, sit down..."
Culver glanced at Queenie and then looked at Marilyn.
"Alright, but I've brought a friend with me. You don't mind, do you?"
Marilyn was stunned and realized that something was amiss. Just as she was about to reject his request, Queenie spoke first, "Is that Mr. Olsen's friend? Of course, I don't mind!"
Culver nodded, turned around, and went out again.
He pulled Naomi, who was ready to run away, into the room.
When she saw that his friend was a woman, Queenie's complexion didn't look too well.
Queenie's mother, Lauren, asked with a hint of hesitation, "Who is this?"
"This is..." Marilyn was about to explain things when Culver spoke first.
"She's a friend of mine! Come, sit here."
He pointed to a seat next to him. Naomi sat down with everyone's gaze on her.
Naomi thought to herself, "What the hell is this freak up to?"
Although it was embarrassing, the people in the room were all adults and had been through many types of situations! After Culver sat down, he started talking casually to Queenie, his face as carefree as ever.
"I've heard of Miss Zac a long time ago. Now that I've seen you in person, you're even more beautiful than the rumors. It's an honor to meet you."
Queenie was also a fan of Culver. When she heard praises coming from the person she liked, her heart, which was anxious at first, calmed down immediately.
Marilyn noticed that and looked at Lauren. They withdrew their indifferent stares that were on Naomi.
Naomi let out a sigh of relief, but she still dared not relax completely. She was thinking whether she should leave while they were having a good conversation. While she was deep in thought, Culver suddenly knocked her arm and her spoon dropped to the ground.
It was a relatively serious mistake in social etiquette. When the waiter heard the sound, he hurriedly pushed the door open and came in.
"What can I do for you?"
"There's no need for help!" Marilyn was the first to speak. She gave Naomi a meaningful look. It was obvious that she was deliberately trying to pressure Naomi. Naomi could not be bothered about it. She had not planned on eating anything anyway.
Therefore, she said casually, "Everything's fine."
The waiter acknowledged that, then closed the door and went out.
At the same time, Culver placed a piece of salmon onto Naomi's plate.
"It looks good. Why don't you try it?"
Naomi frowned as Culver had instantly put her into an awkward position again. Queenie, who was shy just then, stared intensely at Naomi.
If it were Naomi in the past, she might have gotten up and beat everyone there.
However, she had to endure it at the moment. She finally realized that it was not only Marilyn who was testing her, but also Culver.
If she got angry, Culver would definitely accuse her of being jealous. A straightforward man like him was too scary! She could not afford to provoke him.
Naomi silently picked up the piece of napkin beside her and began to wipe the spoon.
She thanked Culver in front of everyone and ate the salmon.
Culver was indeed testing Naomi. He was furious. He did not understand in which ways he was worse than that man. Why was Naomi unable to forget about him?
Just then he had deliberately been attentive to Queenie and he thought that Naomi would be depressed.
However, she was not.
On the contrary, she had been distracted the whole time. Was she thinking about that man?
He was so angry that he accidentally knocked her spoon off the table. He told himself in his heart that if she looked at him and showed him even a slight trace of weakness, he would forgive her immediately. However, she failed to do so!
Unexpectedly, she began to wipe the spoon in front of him and ate the salmon.
Culver felt like he was about to explode from anger!
All of a sudden, he stood up and threw the spoon in Naomi's hands into the air!
Under the shocked gaze of everyone in the room, he only uttered one sentence.
"I still have things to do, so I'll leave first!"
Then, he dragged Naomi out.
Marilyn was enraged. However, she could not lose her temper in front of her potential in-laws. She could only replace an excuse to appease them.
After Culver pulled Naomi out, he instantly pushed her into the car.
The driver saw this and was about to get into the car when he heard Culver shouting, "Get lost!"
The driver was so scared that he wished he could grow some wings and fly away on the spot. Then, the car door was slammed shut with a loud bang. Naomi was a little afraid of how Culver was acting at the moment. "What are you doing? Culver, don't blame me for not holding back!" she said.
Culver gritted his teeth and replied, "How are you not going to hold back? Do you think that you're being nice to me now?"
Naomi felt that he must have gone crazy. She said, "How was I rude to you? With how you treated me just now, wasn't I being polite to you already?"
Culver sneered, "Do you really have a conscience?"
Naomi was stunned. Why did she suddenly feel that Culver's voice sounded a little aggrieved? She subconsciously raised her head and saw a flash of light in Culver's eyes.
She was stunned all of a sudden.
What was that? Were those tears?
Impossible! How could someone like Culver shed tears? She must be seeing things.
She pursed her lips and retorted.
Naomi retorted, "If I didn't have a conscience, I would have sued you. You have abused my rights, and you're restricting my personal freedom!"
"Oh...Then what about you stabbing me?"
"When did I stab you?" Naomi's face was filled with confusion.
"You just stabbed me in the heart just now! No, it wasn't just one stab! It was ten stabs, a hundred stabs!"
Naomi was rendered speechless.
"Culver, that's enough!"
"No, it isn't! Naomi, you are a terrible woman. I've never hated a person like this before. Why did you provoke me? Why don't you love me?"
The more Culver spoke, the more aggrieved he felt.
In the end, Naomi suddenly felt that her heart seemed to have been hit by something. She felt uncomfortable!
