In the end, Naomi did not cook risotto. She only made a simple bowl of oatmeal.
When Loraine saw this, she immediately went to look for the ingredients to prepare some side dishes.
"Young Master Culver's favorite Trigreat Brand's snacks have finished, so I will buy some immediately."
Naomi froze for a moment before saying, "Aren't you taking things a little too far? Trigreat Brand does not have any exclusive stores in this area. It will take you a few hours to get there and back!"
"How will Young Master Culver eat without any snacks?"
"Do we have zucchini?" Naomi said in a light tone.
"I think I saw a small zucchini in the refrigerator just now! I'll go and get it!"
"Ah?" Loraine hesitated and said, "But Young Master Culver does not like zucchini!"
"You forgot that his taste in food has changed!"
Loraine realized that and did not stop her. She went to get the zucchini and washed them clean. When she was about to cut them, Naomi stopped
her again.
"You don't need to cut it. I'll use the whole zucchini! Let me do this!"
Then, with a snap, she chopped it up a few more times. Naomi poured some seasoning on it and said, "I'll bring the food to him!"
Loraine was dumbfounded.
Naomi had cooked the zucchini way too simply! Wouldn't Young Master Culver suffer from eating it?
After she thought about it, she decided to go out to buy some snacks as soon as possible. What if Young Master Culver did not like the food Naomi had prepared? If they drove faster, she might be able to come back in forty minutes.
Upstairs, Culver laid in the room for a while. He was unable to fall asleep, therefore he got up and went downstairs.
Ever since he had taken over the company, he had never waited for a meal with such peace of mind!
He had been busy every day, thinking about all kinds of projects.
However, when he arrived downstairs, he saw Naomi's figure from the window of the kitchen.
She wore a floral apron, and the pot in front of her was steaming. She stirred the pot with a spoon in her hand.
Smoke curled up, making the scene in front of him look like a dream.
Culver seemed to have seen such a scene from many years ago again. The scene at that time had Marilyn, who was currently estranged from him, busying herself in the kitchen.
Inexplicably, the agitation in his heart settled down in an instant.
He took a deep breath and returned to his room.
When Naomi took the food to the room, he had already fallen asleep.
Naomi pushed the door open and said, "It's time to eat!"
However, Culver did not wake up. His long eyelashes fluttered under his eyelids like butterfly wings.
Naomi was stunned for a moment, and quietly turned around. When she was about to go out, Culver moved and the blanket covering him fell off.
Naomi put the food down and picked up the blanket for him.
When she got closer, she noticed that Culver really was quite handsome. Usually, due to the fact that he was difficult to please, many would ignore his good looks.
In fact, he did not look particularly masculine. He looked a little bit feminine, especially with his fair skin tone.
His skin was really fairer than a woman's, which made people jealous.
Naomi silently took a look at her own fingers, which were full of calluses after years of practicing self defense. "Tsk, I really can't compare with him," she thought to herself.
While she was in deep thought, Culver suddenly reached out and pinched her fingers.
"As I've mentioned, you can't harbor any feelings for me."
He suddenly came closer, which made Naomi, who had been in deep thought, blush instantly. The usual confident her suddenly was at a loss for words.
"I...I...What are you talking about? I was just picking up the blanket for you."
Culver looked at her flushed face suspiciously as he said, "It better be that. After all, I would never fall in love with you!"
Naomi rolled her eyes in exasperation. She told him, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in a narcissist like you at all! Since you're awake, eat the oatmeal on the table!"
