My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 961

Thea was stunned. When she saw that Naomi had returned, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's just been a few days, but you look prettier already!"

Naomi shook her head and smiled, "Of course not. Auntie Thea is the most beautiful!"

When Naomi was with people she was familiar with, she would become very talkative.

"How about me? Don't I look good?" Tina asked.

"Auntie Tina, you look good as well! You're the most beautiful!"

Tina could only laugh out loud, "Naomi, you're still as sharp as back when you were a child! You have good taste! Though, why didn't you tell us that you're in a relationship? I had to find this out from the news!"

Thea was stunned and immediately asked, "Naomi, you're in a relationship? Is it with the man from the scandal you had last time?"

She had been so focused on taking care of her children that she rarely watched the news. However, she was aware that she had returned last time because of Naomi's scandals

with someone.

A while after that, the news had died. Because of that, she still thought the scandal was already over.

Now that she had heard Tina's words out of the blue, she started to panic. She had always liked Naomi and wanted Naomi to be with her son!

Such a thought had been weighing on her mind for a good decade! How could she allow a stranger to suddenly swoop in and ruin her plans?

Tina froze upon realizing Thea's reaction. How could she forget that Thea had constantly been thinking about this?

"Thea, I was just running my mouth..."

However, Thea was already alerted as she asked, "Naomi, why don't you tell Auntie Thea if it's true or not."

Truthfully, Naomi had never thought of getting together with Benedict in the first place. To her, he would always be her little brother that grew up together with her.

How could she fall in love with him? Furthermore, her feelings for Nelson were real.

Instead of having everyone misunderstand her, it was better for her to take this opportunity to clarify things once and for all.

Naomi thought about this and bowed solemnly to Thea. She began to apologize, "I'm sorry, Auntie Thea. I was negligent and should have told you this earlier! Indeed, I am having a good relationship with Luther!"

She did not say that they were lovers because she also had to consider Eudora's feelings. After all, her parents had yet to accept Nelson formally.

However, to her, she had already accepted Nelson!

Once she spoke, she suddenly heard the sound of something crashing to the floor coming from behind her. Everyone shifted their gaze, only to see Benedict rooted to the floor. The cake in his hands had fallen to the ground and was utterly ruined.

"I-I'm sorry..."

He quickly squatted down to clean up the cake while trying to cover up the pain in his eyes.

Thea sounded disappointed as she sighed, "Naomi, it seems that we are not fated to be related! I really wanted you to be my daughter-in-law!"

Naomi tried to laugh, "Why don't I be your daughter instead? In the future, I will be filial to you as I am to my mother!"

Thea was about to nod when Benedict's cold refusal was heard from behind them.

"I don't want to!"

Thea was stunned and gasped, "What are you talking about?"

"I refuse. I do not want to have an elder sister!"

After that, he turned around and left with the smashed cake in his hand!

Thea immediately let go of Naomi and tried to calm the situation down, "I'll take care of him. The two of you can continue talking!"

Thea found Benedict sitting on the doorsteps with a lonely look on his face.

She sat down beside him and called out gently, "Benedict."

Benedict raised his head and insisted, "I'm fine. You don't have to be worried about me."

Thea used to suffer from depression until she finally got better. However, Harley had always reminded their two children not to get angry with their mother.

After giving it some thought, she shook her head and assured Tina.

"It's fine, don't worry!"

After sending Tina away, Eudora looked at Naomi.

"If you're not busy these two days, it's better for you to talk to Benedict! I understand what he is thinking about."

Naomi shrugged helplessly, "Mom, do you also think that Benedict has feelings for me? It's impossible! He's just a child!"

Eudora could only sigh and explain, "You may not have noticed since you were the one involved directly. However, I don't care if you were aware or not, I won't allow you to hurt Auntie Thea and her family because of this. Thus, you have to deal with this properly, and don't make Benedict feel bad either."

"I will!" Naomi nodded, "Don't worry, mom!"

In the evening, after giving it much thought, Naomi sent a message to Benedict.

"Cutie Pie?"

Then, she left to take a bath. Unexpectedly, after coming out of the bath, she had received no new messages. Benedict had yet replied to her message!

It was abnormal. In the past, he'd reply in a matter of seconds!

Naomi pursed her lips. Oh, forget it. She'd just have to go to his university to give him mental support and to talk to him the next day.

This brat was still the same as before. He loved to throw tantrums!

Because of this, Naomi had to put in some extra effort. The next day, she specially chose a more casual outfit.

It was a simple white t-shirt with a pair of jeans.

She looked exactly like the students in Benedict's school. If she apologized to him like this, she would look more sincere.

On the way, she even bought some light sticks and placards. She wanted to cheer for him for his event.

With all the preparations in place, she then headed out.
