My Second Husband novel Chapter 1142

Indeed, Naomi was moved at that moment.

She didn't expect Culver to notice her dejection.

However, the feeling only lasted for a brief moment.

She quickly calmed herself down.

"No! It's just that I can't help sniffing during a windy day. The cold temperature always gives me a runny nose. It's not a big deal."

Culver thought for a while before he said, "I don't like liars."

Naomi was at a loss for words.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go to your house by myself. I'm capable of doing that, and you know it."

Naomi got nervous at once. "No!"

Culver always behaved perversely. If he really came to Naomi's house, he would certainly cook up a fuss.

"Fine, you win. I did cry just now, but it's because I was helping my mother to slice onions. You get it right? Onions are ingredients that will stimulate people's eyes to produce tears."

Culver paused again for a few seconds before saying, "Don't you have a chef in your house? I'll ask Aaron to-"

"It's okay. My family has never gotten used to hiring chefs. We feel happy to cook on our own!"

"Poor girl!" grumbled Culver, but he sounded glad.

Naomi didn't argue with him as she was not in the mood to quarrel with him at the moment. The two of them remained silent for a few more seconds before Culver spoke again.

"When are you coming back?"

Naomi was bewildered. She replied, "Haven't I just left? I probably won't be back that quickly! I'll have to wait until my brother's wedding is over."

For some reason, those words annoyed Culver as he replied, "I see..."

Naomi was rendered speechless.

The hint of disapproval in his voice really vexed her.

Naomi didn't want to talk to him anymore, therefore she ended their conversation.

"I have something to do here. Bye!"

After that, she hung up on the call directly without waiting for Culver's reply.

Culver looked at his phone with displeasure, which displayed that the call had ended.

"D*mn it! If it weren't for the fact that you were back at your home..."

Putting down the phone, he took two steps forward and looked at the empty room. Then, he couldn't help muttering, "Did she really just leave?" He felt that a long time had passed since Naomi left.

A marriage between two wealthy and powerful families caught the attention of the people in Rosaville City. What was more, one of the families was actually the Granger family who owned Valiant East.

Everyone in Rosaville City was well aware that Valiant East was the leading company in the city for decades. Moreover, it had been thriving all the while.

There had been speculation in the circle of wealthy families that the Granger family would not need a marriage of state since they were out of every other families' league.

Unexpectedly, they still formed a diplomatic marriage with the Gellert family in the end.

The marriage became a piece of big news in the entertainment circle. Nonetheless, the reporters did not dare to write wild articles about it.

It was because they were under the watchful eye of the Granger family. Hence, they wrote nothing but wishes for the two families.

The two families kept low profiles, and they didn't hold the wedding opulently as the rumors said. They simply set a time and held the wedding in Rosaville Hotel!

Not many guests had been invited to the banquet on the day of the wedding.

Only their close relatives and friends were present. A group of reporters and paparazzi showed up and gathered around the Granger Mansion. However, their attempts of sending drones over the mansion in order to pry into the wedding scene were futile as the drones were brought down instantly by the bodyguards of the Granger family.

In contrast to the fierce competition between the bodyguards and the reporters, the situation inside the mansion was much more lively.

Even though the wedding was not too sumptuous, everyone in there still had a fun time, joking with each other and having a hearty meal.

At first, Rachel was worried that Eddison had married her merely due to Jarred's coercion.

However, at the moment, it seemed that she had worried too much. They only met a few times during the marriage preparation but Eddison seemed to be composed.

They could talk normally whenever they met despite her feeling a little shy, thus she didn't think much about it.
