My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen.

He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan.

The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan.

Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!"

Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm.

"I can do this."

"Stop lying!"

Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over.

Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day.

However, he had never actually seen her in action.

It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked.

"Hand me the sauce!"

It was not until Naomi called him that Culver came to his senses and hurriedly helped her to look for the seasonings.

Whenever she wanted something, he would pass the ingredients to her.

When the sauteed salmon was out of the pan, he felt happier than the first time he had negotiated a 10 million dollar contract.

"Why don't you have a taste of it?"

Naomi reminded him.

"I haven't cooked in a long time. I don't know whether it'll taste good."

Culver picked up a piece of salmon and put it into his mouth. It was a familiar taste. In the blink of an eye, it pulled his thoughts back to the past.

He swallowed the food slowly, "It's delicious."

After that, he habitually picked up a piece and handed it to Naomi.

Naomi was stunned.

He was also taken aback by his actions.

He slowly withdrew his hand and ate the mouthful, saying, "I'll serve this on the table."

After having lunch together, Vincent said he wanted to go on the swings.

Culver immediately said, "I'll get someone to send it over."

"That won't do! It's better to build it ourselves! It'll be much more meaningful if the three of us build it together."

Hearing that, Naomi and Culver both nodded as they did not want to go against a terminally ill man.

"That's a good idea!"

Therefore, in the afternoon, Culver drove Naomi and Vincent out to buy the materials.

Vincent made up an excuse to return, saying that he was tired after walking around the shopping mall. He left the rest of the project to Naomi and Culver.

Wanting the swing set to be safe, Naomi went into several stores before finding the right materials.

As she was about to take the material down from the shelf, a big palm had already reached out and took it for her.

The salesgirl next to her wore a sweet smile.

She complimented, "Your husband treats you so well!"

Naomi said, "We're not in that kind of

relationship."

However, the salesgirl's attention was on the swing set, so she failed to hear what Naomi said. After Culver examined the item, he told her there was no problem with it.

Naomi nodded.

"We'll take this. Help me pay for it."

Culver immediately took out his card and said, "Take my card!"

The salesgirl started to flatter them again, "You're so kind to your wife!"

Naomi was rendered speechless.

She did not want to explain their relationship anymore!

However, when she raised her head, she happened to meet Culver's gaze as well. The two of them looked at each other for a second, feeling a little awkward.

When they returned to the house, it was time for them to install the swing set.

Vincent was complaining about being too tired, hence he went into his room to rest.

Naomi and Culver installed the swing set together. Culver was in charge of hammering the nails, while Naomi was in charge of holding the materials in place. Being outside the house, they were greeted by some neighbors.

"I haven't seen you two before. Are you new here? You two are a perfect match! You look so happy together!"

It was the third time that they had been called a couple.

Surprised, Naomi cut her finger from not holding the pieces of wood properly.

She hissed and the wood fell to the ground.

Just as she was about to check on her injury, her finger was grabbed by Culver.

"Are you alright?"

Naomi froze, saying, "I'm fine!"

"Don't move! The wood chips are piercing into your finger!" Culver frowned and said, "Follow me in and I'll help you treat the wound."

"There's really no need for that!" Naomi stopped him.

Culver's face instantly darkened, "Do you really hate me that much?"

Naomi was rendered speechless.

"No, I don't! There's no reason for me to hate you. Instead, it's me who hasn't been very nice to you! It's me who should ask you that question."

As soon as she finished speaking, Culver retorted.

"I don't hate you!"

Naomi was rendered speechless once again.

In the end, she followed him into the house. Calver took out the medicine kit and carefully picked out the wood chips from her finger. When he was done, he helped her to disinfect her wound and put a band-aid on it.

Looking at her finger which had been treated, Naomi whispered, "Thank you."

Culver did not answer. He remained silent for a few seconds before replying in a low voice.

He remained silent for a few seconds before replying in a low voice, "You don't need to worry that we'll be estranged."

Naomi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Culver looked at her and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. We should not mention it anymore! Right now, I know that you have to take care of Nelson. However, can't we still be friends? I only want to be your friend!"

Naomi opened her mouth but was interrupted by Culver.

"I've dealt with my family's affairs. They won't care about who I'm with in the future!"

Naomi frowned, "I..." "It's not

because of your identity! Marilynchas

regretted her actions. You might not

believe my words, but it's true if you still don't believe me, I can move to Rosaville City."

"You..."

"

"I'm telling the truth!"

Naomi was exasperated.

"Can you let me finish my words? How can I answer you if you keep interrupting me?"

It was only then that Culver turned his head away and apologized.

He was too worried that he would be rejected, therefore he kept cutting her off.

Naomi took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"

"What?" Culver looked at Naomi in surprise.

"We can be friends!"

Culver grabbed Naomi's hand out of excitement, saying, "That's great! Thank you!"

When he finally realized what was he doing, he quickly released her hand.

Naomi looked at the swing set in the yard and said, "You're in charge of the rest!"

"Okay!" After saying that, Culver went to work with great enthusiasm.

Naomi looked at his back and a smile appeared on her face.

Standing in a hidden spot, Vincent also had a smile on his face as he looked at them.

It was good enough for him.

It was only when the sky had darkened that the swing set was ready! Seeing that it had gotten late, Naomi decided to prepare dinner.

She was stopped by Vincent.

"It's fine. You've been busy the whole day, so go back and rest."

"I haven't cooked for you yet!"

"I'm not handicapped! I can still cook. You can come back tomorrow! Naomi, ever since returning to Rosaville City, you haven't gone back home, have you?"

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Naomi nodded.

"Alright then, I'll come back tomorrow morning with your favorite food."

"Then, I'll give you a ride!" Culver said. "It's on the way."

"That's great!" Vincent grabbed Culver's hand and handed Naomi's hand to him, saying, "Help me take good care of Naomi."

Naomi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not a three-year-old girl.

Why do I need someone to take care of me? You should go in and have a rest! I'll see you tomorrow."

Vincent smiled and waved at the two of them.

Later, Naomi would learn that that would be the last time for her to see Vincent.
