My Second Husband novel Chapter 1144

At Clearwater Bay. Naomi felt on edge and unsettled the whole night, and she couldn't fall asleep.

Early in the morning, when she saw Eudora bringing Cola out for a stroll, she also followed behind them.

Eudora could tell that something was wrong with her at a glance. So, she asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to your work?"

Naomi shook her head as she tried to deny, "No! Somehow, I'm just in a bad mood."

Eudora thought that Eddison's wedding had triggered her to recall the engagement between Nelson and her, so she tried to comfort her casually.

"Let bygones be bygones. We have to look forward to the future, don't we?"

Naomi answered softly, "I understand."

Eudora said with a smile, "No, you don't! The only way to truly forget about something is to face it calmly. It'll only become a part of your past once you're able to remain unruffled when you think about it."

After Eudora finished speaking, she handed Cola to Naomi.

"Bring Cola to play for a while. I'm going to take my medicine."

Naomi was curious. She asked, "Mom, you've been paying attention to your health lately. What changed you?"

Eudora asked impishly, "What do you think?"

"Dad? Ah, I should have known!"

It didn't take long for Naomi to come to a realization. It went without saying that the only person who could influence Eudora was Amos.

After Eudora left, Naomi bent down and stroked Cola's head.

"You're living a good life! You don't have to worry about anything."

Her phone rang again, and Naomi answered the call. It was still from Rosaville Prison, and it was about Nelson.

"His body hasn't been in good condition mainly because he's been suffering mentally. He's unwilling to cooperate with us to receive treatment. We hope that you can show him some care out of humanitarianism."

She heard the phrase 'humanitarianism'.

Naomi thought such a word was amusing.

However, Eudora was right.

She should face things calmly, instead of avoiding it.

She complied with their request by making an appointment.

"I will go as soon as possible!"

Rachel was waiting at the entrance of the office.

She had arrived at nine o'clock in the morning. She had been waiting for almost an hour, but Eddison was nowhere to be seen.

At 9:40 a.m., she received a call from Bianca.

"How is it going? Have you arrived at the Ministry of Civic Affairs?"

Rachel looked at the empty street around before she replied to Bianca.

"Yes, I have!"

"That's great! Did you bring all your documents? Don't leave anything out! Remember, the best time is ten o'clock, don't miss it!"

Rachel said softly, "Mom, you're being a little too superstitious. This isn't in line with your identity as a noble lady."

Bianca was always talking about manners and identity in daily life, thus Rachel was making fun of her.

Bianca seemed to feel joyful recently as Rachel's words failed to irk her.

"Whatever! The tarot card master told me that as long as you register on time, the love between you two will continue to grow. I want to see you be blessed with happiness. That's my only wish as a mother."

She looked at the clock. It was 9:59 a.m.!

Bianca urged her, "Alright, it's almost time. I've asked someone to queue up for you. Now, go!"

After that, she directly hung up on the call.

Rachel looked intently at the entrance, but Eddison was not there.

One of the servants from the Gellert family, who had been queuing up for her, came up to her.
