My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 967

In a blink of an eye, Benedict was discharged from the hospital. Naomi dared not to visit him the past

few days, but she thought that Benedict should have calmed down by now, therefore she came to visit

him.

Benedict was eating some fruits the moment Naomi entered.

In order to relieve the awkwardness, Naomi took the initiative to come forward and praise Thea, "Auntie

Thea, did you personally handpick these grapes? They look so delicious!"

Thea smiled and said, "You like grapes too? If I had known that you would come, I would have brought

more. Now, there are only a few left and they're already in Benedict's hand! If you want them, I'll ask

your Uncle Louis to send you some later."

"That's not necessary!" Naomi hurriedly waved her hand. "I was just complimenting you! Next time, I’ll

go to your house and try them myself! That is to say if you welcome me to your house."

"How could I not welcome you?" Thea shook her head. "You’ re welcome to eat at my home any time!"

After that, Thea turned and went out. She said, "I'm going to settle Benedict's documents needed for

his discharge. You can accompany him for a while."

Naomi nodded. After Thea went out, Naomi walked slowly to the bedside and greeted Benedict, "How's

it going? Are you feeling much better?"

Benedict snorted and threw the plate in his hand directly to Naomi.

"What kind of fruit is this? It's disgusting! I'll give them to you!"

Naomi rolled her eyes at him before saying, "How can you act like this? Auntie Thea personally chose

them for you, therefore they can't be that bad..."

Before her voice could die away, she had already taken one piece and put it in her mouth.

It was extremely delicious!

Naomi frowned and asked, "What's so bad about them? You don't have to save them for me. I've

already said that I will..."

"I think that they're bad. Who's saying these fruits for you? If you don't want to eat them, just throw

them away!"

Naomi quickly shook her head and said, "No way! Why would I throw them away when they’ re so

delicious?"

Naomi held the plate and enjoyed the grapes in her hand.

Benedict looked at her and could not help but ask, "Have you been happy recently?"

"Yes, I have!" Naomi nodded.

Benedict frowned and asked, "Are you still with him?"

Naomi's fingers paused. She asked, "You mean with Nelson? Yes, I am!"

"Naomi!" Benedict directly interrupted her in a loud voice. "Don't you understand?"

Naomi frowned and slowly put down the plate in her hand.

"I'm done eating. I'll head out and check on Auntie Thea!"

"You know about it already, don't you? I know I was being obvious about it, and it'd be impossible for

you to not be aware of it! You know my feelings for you, so why can't you consider me?"

Naomi stopped in her tracks and said, "Benedict, I've also said this before. In my heart, you're no

different from Sugar Bun. Both of you are my younger brothers..."

"I don't want to be like your younger brother!"

Benedict roared. "I want to be your boyfriend!"

"Benedict!" Naomi called out to him. "You clearly know that it's impossible! Nelson and I..."

"I don't care about you and Nelson! Today, I announce that I, Benedict Louis, will officially begin to

pursue you! If you don't like me, you can refuse me, but I won't give up. I will let you know who is the

one who really loves you!"

"Benedict..." Naomi softened her voice and tried to persuade him. However, to her surprise, Benedict

had already turned his head away.

"I don't want to argue with you now. I've said everything that I should. You can go now! Next time when

we meet, my identity is as your pursuer!"

After that, he got up and began to take off his clothes.

"Aren't you leaving? I'm going to change my clothes!"

Naomi was rendered speechless.

She quickly turned her head and walked out.

In the next few days, Benedict seemed to have disappeared completely. He did not visit her, nor did he

send any messages to Naomi. Naomi made time and went to Louis Residence with the excuse of

wanting to eat their fruits.

Benedict was in his room, looking the same as he did before.

Naomi thought about what he said the other day which had come off like the words said in a fit of rage

by an angry child.

As a result, she gradually began to feel at ease.

In the blink of an eye, it was the lunch date between Nelson and Naomi's family.

The three families had gathered together, just as Eudora had mentioned.

As per planned, Naomi had notified Nelson about the lunch earlier. Then, she hid herself in her room to

pick out the most suitable outfits.

After everything was ready, then only did Naomi see a text message from Nelson.

"I'm outside your house!" it read.

Naomi hurried downstairs. In the end, she chose an outfit that was close to her usual style. Last time,

she had tried wearing a dress, but it had been too uncomfortable for her!

A moment later, Naomi came in with Nelson.

"Mom, Auntie Thea, Auntie Tina, this is Nelson!"

Thea nodded slightly, but she still felt a little sorry for Benedict. However, Naomi had already chosen

Nelson, therefore she could only accept this outcome!

"Where's Dad?" Naomi asked again.

"He's inside playing chess with your Uncle Louis

and the others!"

Naomi took Nelson with her and said, "Then, let's go in and greet him!"

After they left, Thea thought of Benedict. He had called her this morning, but he failed to tell her

whether he would be attending the lunch. Now, it seemed that he would not come.

Inside, Amos heard the sound of footsteps as soon as he won a round.

Naomi came in with Nelson and said, "Dad..."

Naomi shouted, "This is..." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Amos interrupted her directly, "Can't he introduce himself? He's the president of a company, so why is

he hiding behind a woman?"

Other than the fact that Amos was deliberately testing Nelson, another reason that he was being this

nitpicky was because he harbored a certain dislike towards Nelson as well.

Therefore, his words towards Nelson were not pleasant to the ears.

Nelson did not get angry at all, but instead took the initiative to step out from Naomi's back and

introduce himself to the three of them.

At the end of his sentence, he even added a few words of modesty.

"Valiant East of Rosaville City, Gellert Group and Mr. Louis are all my reputable seniors. I hope you will

guide me well in the future!"

Harley had always had a mind of his own, and although he was getting older, his mindset remained the

same.

He wasn't as sensitive as Thea, despite also knowing that his son liked Naomi. However, when he

noticed that Amos disliked Nelson, he wanted to help Amos to test him.

"Since you've asked us to guide you well, I'll tell you a secret!"

"Mr. Louis, please enlighten me."

Harley raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a sly smile.

He said with a sly smile, "Well! Do you know which skill every man in the Granger family must

possess? It's cooking! If you can cook all of our dishes today, then you'll pass the first test!"

Cooking?

Naomi looked at Harley hastily and said, "Uncle Louis, it's Nelson's first time here. How could you ask

him to cook now?"

"Why not?" Harley glanced at Amos. He added, "If not, you can ask Amos for his opinion!" "I agree to

this!" Amos spoke resolutely, leaving the others with no room to refuse.

"Alright!" Nelson nodded. "If that's the case, then three of you can just rest!"

"No, it's not just for the three of us. You're cooking for everyone, alone!"

"Uncle Louis, aren't you being a little too hasty?" Naomi said hurriedly. She was the least afraid of

Harley amongst the three!

Harley shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so! A marriage prospect of a Granger family member

should be treated like this. Only then will he be good to you in the future! This is a trial, so just wait and

see!"
