My Second Husband novel Chapter 1019

"Naomi!" Nelson shouted.

Naomi turned around and looked at his worried expression. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Nelson felt relieved and met Monique's gaze with a faint smile. He realized that he had overcomplicated the situation!

"It's nothing! I just saw the puppy, and..."

"You think I got scared?" Naomi smiled. "I'm not afraid of it!"

"You two are so affectionate with each other. I'm so envious!" Monique suddenly interrupted.

Nelson frowned slightly as Naomi finally came to her senses and began to introduce him to Monique.

"This is our neighbor. Do you remember that time when I dropped my things on the sidewalk? It was she who picked them up for me. This is quite the fateful encounter!"

Nelson replied, "Indeed!"

"I'm Monique Chilton!" Monique took the initiative to reach her hand out towards Nelson.

Nelson stretched his hand out in return with great difficulty. As soon as he held hers, he felt something like a piece of paper stuffed into his palm.

He looked at Naomi subconsciously. Naomi's eyes were all on that puppy!

"What a cute little fella!"

He took a deep breath and stuffed the note into his pocket.

"I'm going to open the door!" Nelson said.

When Nelson left, Monique saw the groceries in Nelson's hands.

"You two cook on your own? It's great to be able to cook, unlike me who lives alone. If no one cooked for me, I'd starve to death!"

Due to the fact that she was not too familiar with Naomi, yet she had suddenly brought up such an intimate topic, Naomi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. However, since Monique had helped her the last time, she gave her a casual reply.

"I'm not very good at it. It's my husband who does most of the job!"

"Husband? Are you two preparing to get married?" Monique's expression was slightly frozen.

Naomi was used to calling him so. As someone was suddenly pointing it out, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Ah...Actually..."

Just as Naomi was panicking, Nelson opened the door.

"Come in!"

At last, her embarrassment was relieved a little. Naomi waved her hand at Monique, turned around and entered the house.

Monique looked at her back for a long time before she clenched her fists.

Inside the house, after Naomi entered, she poured herself a big glass of water and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that it's so difficult to deceive others!"

Nelson raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you deceive anyone?"

"It isn't really a lie! As I was talking to our neighbor just now, I accidentally referred to you as my husband! It was a little embarrassing to do so!"

Nelson's heart tightened as he said, "It's better if we don't interact with Monique too much in the future!"

Although Naomi rarely disliked someone, this time, it was rare for her to feel that what Nelson said was right.

"I feel that she's quite a strange one as well! It's like she's always looking for something!"

Naomi could not help but look at Nelson. She half-jokingly asked, "Is she in love with you?"

Nelson was stunned. His expression instantly became serious.

"Don't be ridiculous!"

Naomi was taken aback and said, "I was only joking! Are you angry?"

Nelson shook his head, but his tone was still a little stiff.

"No, I'm not!"

"You're not? You're even frowning now! You don't look handsome at all like this!"

When she said this, she reached out and touched the spot between his eyebrows. She coaxed, "Alright, I won't talk nonsense next time!"

She spoke so carefully that Nelson felt a little guilty in his heart.

He hugged her from behind and shook his head, saying, "I'm not blaming you! I just don't like such jokes."

"Okay! I won't say that ever again in the future! I will stay away from her as well, okay?"
