My Second Husband novel Chapter 1016

It was not until Naomi hung up on the call that she realized Nelson was not in the room.

She got out of bed in a hurry and ran out. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Nelson coming in from outside.

Naomi looked at him nervously and said, "Nelson, why did you acquire the project at this time? That's silly of you!"

Nelson didn't explain himself

Instead, he just mumbled two words, "I'm sleepy!"

Only then did Naomi notice that Nelson looked haggard. Although he had always been spirited, he was currently a man who had just been discharged from the hospital.

It definitely was not good for him to stay up all night.

He must have stayed up the entire night since everything had already been settled that early in the morning.

"You..."

Before she could say more, he had already stretched out his hands to carry her. He said, "Sleep with me for a while!"

Naomi gently pushed him away while saying, "I have to go to the company!"

Hearing her rejection, he was greatly saddened. He was like a child whose toy had been taken away.

"Hasn't the company's problems been solved? Let's just sleep for a while!"

She was reluctant to leave him.

Therefore, she said tenderly, "Alright, let's sleep!"

Nelson was genuinely tired. After carrying Naomi onto the bed, he quickly fell asleep. Naomi opened her eyes and looked at his tired face, then caressing it.

Despite her whining to him that buying the project had been reckless, she was secretly moved by his actions.

Indeed, she was blissful to have someone who loved her so much.

Naomi also fell asleep not long after.

They slept until noon. After waking up and washing up, she asked Nelson again, "Why did you do that?"

He laughed and said, "What's wrong with me doing that? Have faith in me, okay? Although I might be a little less capable than your father, I'm not a fool. Do you remember the incident when your mother wanted to reconstruct the warehouse?"

Naomi nodded and said, "I think I've heard of it before!"

However, she had no idea about the ins and outs of the matter. After all, she had not been part of the architectural industry before.

Nelson told her about what had happened that year, "The situation at that time was quite similar to our current situation. In spite of the adversity, your mother was still able to turn the tide all by herself. That project culminated in the construction of a warehouse, which has now become very important. We can follow in her footsteps!"

"So, are you planning to turn it into a warehouse too?"

"No! It wouldn't be a promising prospect if we do that. It's better if we make it into a cold store!"

"A cold store?"

"That's right! After the fire, the land in the vicinity might be re- cultivated and revamped for future farming activities. For a few decades, I bet it won't be suitable for people to live there. In that case, farming and growing plants are the best ways to purify the environment and restore the ecosystem after the fire."

"That's right! We can cooperate together and turn the land into a cold store. Then, we can rent it to the farmers who work on the land. Nelson, you're a genius!"

Naomi beamed at him while praising him.

That was probably the first time Naomi had complimented him on his intelligence. When they were children, she had always said that he was stupid and foolish.

She had also scolded him for being too timid.

Every man liked being praised by his beloved partner.

An idea flashed through Nelson's mind, and he pulled her into his embrace.

"Say it again!"

Naomi was mystified so she asked, "What?"

"Praise me again! I like the way you looked at me just now."

At first, she hadn't thought there was anything special about her reaction. However, after hearing his words, she felt embarrassed.
