As Naomi had shouted for a long time, her throat had become hoarse. In the end, she could only sit down on the stairs and rest for a while.
Of course, if she could throw these ingredients at Culver's head without getting threatened by him, she would do so immediately!
Inside, when Culver heard Naomi's flattery, his heart inexplicably cheered up.
He cooked himself some steak and opened a bottle of fine red wine. He ate slowly as he enjoyed the wine.
The wine tasted good, but the steak...
The steak he had eaten before was fragrant and tender. However, he felt like he was eating the insoles of a shoe at that moment. After he took a bite, he could not eat it anymore!
It was really the worst steak he had ever eaten.
Just then, Aaron called.
He was in a bad mood and complained, "Didn't I tell you to choose the best quality steak? What did you buy?"
Aaron felt wronged as he explained, "It's really the best of the best. We've always bought from that shop!"
"Then, why does it taste so bad?"
Aaron hesitated for a while before asking, "Was Loraine the one who cooked it?"
"I did it myself!" Culver said loudly.
Aaron stopped talking for a while before replying, "Perhaps it's because of you, so it doesn't taste good?"
"What did you just say?"
"No, no, I don't mean that. Do you need me to send someone to make a new one for you?"
"There's no need for that!" Culver threw his phone lazily.
He was too lazy to cook it again, therefore he threw the steak aside and drank the red wine alone.
After half a glass of wine, the sound from outside stopped.
He frowned and walked to the window to take a look. He saw Naomi sitting on the stairs like a homeless stray dog.
He raised his eyebrows and went back to drinking again.
After a while, Naomi's voice sounded at the door again.
"Hey! Mr. Olsen, open the door. It's raining outside!"
Culver replied, "So what if it's raining? Shouldn't you be a little more sincere now that you are asking for my help?"
Screw sincerity!
Naomi cursed him a hundred times in her heart, but she still softened her voice.
"Mr. Olsen, aren't I being sincere? I've been waiting here for you for the entire afternoon, and I've bought a lot of delicious ingredients. I've asked Loraine about it and she said that they're all your favorite food! It's late, and you must be hungry, right? Let me in, and I'll make some food for you!"
"That's not necessary!" Culver refused her offer, "I already had something to eat! It's imported steak! The quality was top-notch! It tasted good too!"
He suddenly felt that the disgusting steak was pleasing to the eye as it could be used to aggravate Naomi!
Naomi was taken aback.
Naomi scolded in her heart, "Culver Olsen, you freak! Mega freak!"
Suddenly, thunder sounded. Naomi was so frightened that she hid under the entrance hall.
However, it was summer and the rain was incredibly heavy. The entrance hall was not big enough and soon she was soaked.
Naomi really wanted to leave, but then she remembered Emma and her soon-to-end dreams and goals.
She really did not want to give up so easily.
She was also her parents' precious daughter, and her parents loved her so much in return. If she was at home and Eudora was to see that she was getting drenched in rain, she would be extremely distressed.
Her heart ached, but she held in her anger. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and her eyes turned red.
Inside, Culver was happy to hear her flattering over him from the outside. Suddenly, there was no sound anymore. Coupled with the sound of thunder and lightning outside, he ran to the window to take a look.
As a result, he did not see anyone there!
His heart skipped a beat, as he thought that she would be more persistent. Maybe if she had insisted a little longer, he would have opened the door for her.
Just as he thought about it, he heard the sound of someone crying.
Curiously, he walked over and opened the door, only to see Naomi curled up by the door.
