My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 974

Naomi took a step back and fled.

Nelson's lips curled into a smile as he looked at her escaping.

Naomi received a call from Eudora the next night.

"How's your stay with Master Clarke going? Did he scold me again for not visiting him frequently?"

Naomi felt a little bit guilty.

She said in a low voice, "Mom, Master Clarke is not as bad as you say. He only complained a little!"

"That's good then! Put him on the phone. I have something to say to him."

Naomi's heart skipped a beat. Where could she find Master Clarke at this moment? She had a sudden inspiration and hurriedly moved her phone further away. "Mom, what did you say? I'm practicing in the forest. The signal isn't very good here..."

Then, she hung up on the call!

Naomi took a deep breath, and Nelson's soft laughter rang behind her.

"The nose of a liar will grow longer!"

That was the lesson people used to teach them when they were children. Now that she heard it again, it was quite refreshing.

"I was not lying, it's called a white lie."

Naomi pursed her lips before saying, "If Mom finds out that I'm here taking care of you, she'll definitely get worried. It's better not to tell her so that she can be at peace."

Nelson said with a frown, "Well definitely be together in the future though. Are we going to sneak around like this for the rest of our lives?"

Naomi was also in a dilemma as she insisted, "My parents still need more time!"

Before Naomi could finish her words, Nelson suddenly held her hand.

"Will you marry me?"

Naomi was taken aback and said, "What did you just say?"

She did not expect that Nelson would propose to her at this moment. Naomi did not even have the slightest bit of mental preparation, and she had no idea how to react at all.

Upon hearing her question, Nelson instantly went down on one knee.

"Naomi, I know that what I'm saying is too sudden, but I'm being sincere! I really want to marry you and be with you together forever, alright?"

There was a buzz in Naomi's mind as she replied, "Let me think about it!"

Nelson nodded, "It's okay, there's no rush. You can take your time to think about it. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you!"

The two fell silent after they discussed the topic of marriage.

The next day, Nelson woke up early in the morning.

He suggested, "Why don't we go out and buy some ingredients?"

Naomi was surprised and she asked, "Is it because you're tired of drinking soup?" She didn't know how to cook, therefore she had tried different soup recipes for the past few days.

They mostly tasted mild and light.

Nelson shook his head and said, "Of course not. Even if I drink your soup for the rest of my life, I won't grow tired of them. It's just that I'm worried that you're tired of having the same dishes."

Naomi's ears were hot as she said, "Alright, let me get something first then we'll go out together!"

There was a shopping mall nearby. After they went in, Nelson immediately started to place different ingredients into their shopping cart, such as beef, lamb, pork ribs, chicken chop and many more.

Naomi followed behind, her heart trembling with fear as she had no clue how to cook them.

Therefore, she placed the ingredients back on the shelves while Nelson was not looking. After Nelson walked around for a while, he turned around only to find pork ribs left in the basket...

Nelson was rendered speechless.

"Where are the ingredients I picked?"

Naomi pretended to be ignorant and said, "I don't know. Did you take them in the first place?"

Nelson saw through her but said nothing, "Maybe I remembered wrongly. I'll get them again, then!"
