Although Loraine was old, she still had a keen eye for things!
Judging by the man's expression when he asked for Naomi and the things he carried in his hands, she knew that Culver's rival in love had come!
Just as she was deep in thought, Nelson reminded her again.
"Hello?"
Loraine came to her senses, saying, "Naomi..."
Naomi came straight over and closed the door.
"Please leave!"
"Naomi!" Nelson stopped outside, "I heard that you were injured, therefore I made something that you like..."
"I don't need that! I have everything I need here! Leave! I don't want to see you!"
Soon, there was no sound from outside. Loraine opened the door curiously. The lunchbox was left at the front door, and she brought it in.
Naomi frowned when she saw the lunch box, "I'm full. Please take this lunch box and throw it away when you leave!"
Loraine looked at the lunch box and then looked at Naomi.
"Miss George, it's hard to refuse good intentions. If you really don't have any unresolved feelings for that man, then this lunch box would mean nothing to you, and you won't have the need to throw it away!"
"You're mistaken!"
Naomi turned her head away as she replied, "He's just an annoying friend. It's normal that I don't want to see him. Furthermore, he's not as kind as you think!"
Loraine sighed silently in her heart. She did not want to be hated by Naomi together with that man, therefore she did not dare to say anything. She left just like that.
When Loraine left, Naomi was still enraged. She used the cushion on the sofa as her punching bag to relieve her anger.
At night, when Emma returned, she saw that the house was in a mess and thought that a thief had entered the house. At last, she felt at ease when she saw Naomi nestling there.
She thought about the shadow she had seen when she had come up the stairs and could not help but sigh.
"He's here again?"
"I don't know! It's none of my business!"
Emma blinked and asked, "Aren't you curious why he was released early?"
Naomi kept quiet. Emma sat down beside her, picked up the cushion from the ground, and slowly rubbed it.
"When you told me that he came back that day, I went to investigate...Actually, he's..."
"Enough! I don't want to know about it at all! I'm going to cook something!"
After Naomi finished speaking, she went straight to the kitchen.
Emma let out another sigh before saying, "Then, I'll help you!"
In Country M.
The next day, Eddison did what he said and arranged for Sierra's family to take care of her.
After sending them to the hospital, Eddison pushed open the door when Sierra walked up to him with a smile. She said, "Eddie, you're back?"
Eddison was stunned for a moment and looked at Sierra who was standing in a hospital gown with a smile.
Sierra was also taken aback because she saw her own family behind Eddison.
Sierra had almost forgotten that Eddison had said that he would bring her family to the hospital the day before. After a moment of awkwardness, she quickly changed the subject.
When Eddison saw that Sierra was with her family, he stood up.
He said, "I'll leave you with your family then. I'll be leaving."
"What? Eddie..."
Sierra was about to catch up to him, but she lost her balance and bumped into the cabinet. Sierra's mother, Vania, was shocked. She shouted, "Call the doctor!"
Eddison hurriedly called the nurse over.
The doctor examined Sierra further and said, "The patient's body is still a little weak. It's best not to do any strenuous exercise! Be careful not to get hurt!"
"I suddenly feel like having some cheesecake. Could you buy some for me?"
Eddison replied, "Sure, I'll be back soon!"
In his heart, he reckoned that he could return home and eat dinner after he bought the cheesecake for Sierra. He had already made a promise to Rachel the day before!
However, Rachel felt uncomfortable as she stood outside, and she felt a little disdainful of herself.
They were obviously having a normal conversation, and there was no deeper meaning behind their words. However, why did she feel so uncomfortable after listening to it? Was she being too petty?
As she was thinking about it, the door opened.
Rachel was startled and quickly turned around, but she was pulled back by Eddison. He asked, "Rachel, you're here? When did you arrive?"
Rachel opened her mouth and said, "Uh, I just arrived! I didn't hear anything."
Eddison almost laughed at her words. He teased her, "Are you hiding something?"
Rachel replied, "You're off to buy some things right? Go ahead! I'll head home first!"
"Has Rachel come?"
It was Sierra who spoke. She stopped her from leaving and instead invited her inside, "Rachel, come on in!"
Rachel had no choice but to accept her invitation since she was caught in a dilemma.
"Sierra..."
"Eddie, hurry up and buy the cake! When you return, I'll eat it with Rachel. Rachel, come in and sit down. I was in a bad mood that day and lost my temper with everyone. They hate me now, don't they? Fortunately, you came to visit me. I'm so moved!"
Rachel twitched the corner of her mouth and saw that Eddison had left from the corner of her eye. She lowered her head, a little disappointed.
Sierra asked again, "What's wrong? You don't look happy. Let me guess, did you quarrel with your boyfriend?"
Rachel was stunned and then shook her head as she replied, "I don't have a boyfriend!"
She thought to herself, "I don't think Eddison wants me to tell the truth! Furthermore, I really don't have a boyfriend. I'm married!"
