My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 978

Nelson fell silent. It was really hard to understand women.

As he was thinking, Monique spoke again.

"Well, I just said it casually to scare you. Your darling girlfriend isn't afraid of rats, but I am! There are

rats in my new house. You are off work now, right? Come and help me to deal with it!"

Without waiting for Nelson to reply, she hung up on the call.

Nelson frowned as he was reluctant to go. However, Monique had always been a very neurotic woman.

He was worried that she would do something to Naomi, therefore he got up and left.

On his way there, he went to the pharmacy and bought some medicine that was specially used to treat

rats. Then, he went to the address that Monique mentioned.

After he pressed on the doorbell, the door was opened from inside almost instantly.

Monique wore a white silk pajamas, with her curly hair hanging on her shoulders. Her charming red lips

matched her alluring figure.

As soon as Nelson looked at her, he immediately turned his head away.

"Where are the rats? I'll go and catch them."

Monique shook her head and said, "There's no rush! You've rushed all the way over here. Come in and

drink some water!"

Nelson wanted to shake his head again, but Monique had already stiffened her face and said, "It seems

that I don't even have the right to have a drink with you now?"

Nelson could only put down his things, get up and walk toward Monique.

Nelson sat down on the sofa not far away from Monique. He slowly picked up the water and took a

small sip.

"Alright! I'll go and catch the rats!"

The next second, Monique grabbed hold of him and said, "Nelson, aren't you too unromantic? I'm here

and yet your mind is so focused on rats?"

As she spoke, she pulled Nelson's hand over and slowly placed it on her fair skin.

"The rats are here..."

Nelson was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned his head away.

"Miss Monique, don't act like this!"

Monique was even happier as she said, "Why does it feel like I'm eating you alive? Didn't you spend

some happy time with your little girlfriend already? You don't me anymore, huh?"

"No, it's not that!" Nelson shook his head. "I've told you, Miss Monique, you are my senior."

"Who wants to be your senior? Among you children, I value you the most. You are just like me,

incredibly resilient, and always know what you want to do! You also have a weakness and that is that

you are too emotional! I know that as long as I'm good to you, you will never betray me, right?"

Nelson nodded and said, "Miss Monique, you saved me and gave me a new life. I certainly won't betray

you, but..."

"I don't want to pay you back like this!" Nelson silently cried.

"It's good that you know it! I like you a lot. If I knew that you would be so involved in this task when you

returned, I wouldn't have asked you to come back. However, it doesn't matter now. I'm not a petty

person. As long as you are not with that girl in the future, I will not mind. I'll just think of it as that you

wanted to try new things! Only when you have a taste of others will you know that I'm the best!"

After Monique finished speaking, she reached out her hand to unbutton Nelson's shirt.

Nelson could not bear it anymore and he pushed Monique away.

The air suddenly became quiet, and silence was the only thing left in the originally passionate room.

Nelson opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to catch the rats!"

"There's no need for that!" Monique's voice gradually turned icy, and she returned to wearing the

indifferent and distant look she used to have.

She slowly walked back to the sofa and sat down. Then, she slowly tidied up her clothes.

"You did a good job. This is the you that I want to see, one that isn't afraid of any sudden incidents! You

can go back first and complete the task I've given you! However, remember what I've said. You should

not cross the line, you mustn't."

"Understood!" Nelson nodded, turned around and left.

When the door closed, Monique pushed all the things on the table to the ground with a gloomy face.

"I can't even tempt a child like you anymore!"

At that moment, at Clearwater Bay.

After Naomi returned home, she sent a message to Nelson, but he failed to reply.

She paid it no attention. When she saw that Cindy was preparing to cook, she walked over to her.

"Auntie Cindy, are you going to cook steak tonight?"

Cindy nodded and said, "Yes! Isn't that your favorite dish? You haven't been home for several days and

you've lost weight. You must eat more tonight!"

Naomi nodded and said, "Okay! However, can you add more seasoning into the dish? I think it'll taste

better if it's sweet!"

Cindy nodded and said, "Okay, got it!"

When Naomi left, Cindy came to her senses and said, "That's not right! Didn't Miss Naomi dislike sweet

things before?"

Sometimes Naomi would say that the dishes did not taste good if they were too sweet!

Why had her taste changed all of a sudden?

Before her words could fade away, she turned around and saw Eudora standing behind her, which

startled Cindy. She exclaimed, "Mrs. Granger, what are you doing here?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Eudora shook her head and said, "It's nothing! Go back to your work!"

After that, she slowly walked towards Naomi.

Naomi was enjoying a romance drama. Eudora sat down beside her and said, "Tonight, the fighting

competition that you like to watch is playing. I'll change the channel for you."

"No, don't! This drama is quite good!"

On the screen, a pair of lovers were being lovey-dovey with each other, a scene that most girls liked to

watch.

The more Eudora looked at Naomi, the more she felt that something was wrong. She grabbed Naomi

closer to her, and looked her in the eye.

"Tell your mom the truth. Where have you been these past few days?"

Naomi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned her head away and said, "Didn't I say that I went

to Master Clarke's place?"

"Naomi!" Eudora's voice turned cold. "Stop wringing your clothes! You've always liked to do that when

you lie ever since you were young!"

Naomi was rendered speechless.

She knew she could not lie to her mother.

She thought about the things that Nelson had told her and then she finally nodded. She said, "Fine, I

was with Nelson. He met with some minor problems and I took care of him for a few days!"

Eudora had predicted this! Otherwise, it was impossible for a person to have such a drastic change in

personality.

Naomi then opened her mouth to speak.

"Mom, I want to marry Nelson!"

Eudora was stunned and replied, "What?"

She thought she had heard wrongly. After all, Naomi had never been so willful since she was young!

"Mom, you've heard me correctly. I'm with Nelson, and our relationship is excellent. We want to get

married as soon as possible!"

Her words were another heavy blow and Eudora was immediately stupefied.

"Why are you two escalating so fast?"

Naomi pursed her lips as she said, "It's not considered too fast. Nelson and I have known each other

since we were young. Furthermore, our relationship is quite good! Now that we've reunited after a long

period of separation, it's a totally different situation than us just meeting! I know, maybe you and Dad

don't really know Nelson, but he's really quite a good man! If you and Dad are willing to get to know

him, I'm willing to bring him over for you two to know more about him..."

Eudora was stunned by Naomi's words and was unable to interrupt her.

After a while, she felt dizzy!
