"Yes, I'm angry!"
Rachel opened the door. Truth be told, she wanted to endure things stoically. However, she changed her mind when she thought of Bianca's sufferings. Bianca had endured everything for a lifetime, and what she got in the end was nothing but misery.
Rachel did not want to end up like Bianca.
"I'm not angry because you came back late. I'm angry because you promised me that you wanted to make things work between us but yet you can't draw a clear line between you and Sierra. Do you have any respect for me? If you want to be with her and renege on your promise to me, then just tell me frankly! I won't waste your time any longer. I'll leave here at once and we can file for a divorce when we go back!"
She couldn't help pouring out her indignation.
After finishing her words, Rachel felt much more relaxed.
While gasping for air, she looked at Eddison, who was standing motionless in front of her. It seemed that he was unmoved by her outburst.
From the looks of it, she might be right.
Maybe he really was waiting for her to bring up the idea of divorce the entire time.
Rachel gave a wry smile and turned around.
Perhaps, it was time for her to pack up and leave.
Unexpectedly, her arm was grabbed by him. She turned back and met an impish grin on his face.
"Are you jealous?"
Rachel was stunned as she retorted, "No, I'm not jealous of Sierra!"
"Did I say it was Sierra?"
Rachel was at a loss for words.
She said soberly, "I'm being serious. Don't make jokes with me!"
"I'm being serious too. I've always remembered every promise I've made to you."
Rachel said ironically, "I thought that all the men in the Granger family were as reliable as President Granger, but it turns out that there's a liar like you in the Granger family."
Eddison frowned and retorted, "I'm telling the truth."
"Your words don't sound sincere to me."
He quickly explained, "I lent Sierra a hand because she has helped me before, hence I have to return the favor to her. Furthermore, as a friend, I ought to help her even if she hasn't helped me."
"I'm afraid she doesn't think so."
He pursed his lips and asked, "What did she say to you?"
Rachel didn't want to be a backstabbing woman, so she insisted, "Nothing!"
"Regardless of what she says, it doesn't matter now. I've already arranged for her family to be there with her. There is no need for me to be there anymore. I will prove to you that all the men in the Granger family are dependable."
Then, he pushed her into the room and closed the door carefully before Rachel could say a word.
"Good night!"
Rachel was confused. Was she to laugh or cry at the current situation?
Meanwhile, Loraine had been taking good care of Naomi in Greene City.
For a few days in a row, she had been preparing fish stew for Naomi.
Naomi couldn't help but doubt her motives.
"Loraine, I'm much better now. You don't have to send me fish stew every day." "It's okay. I'm not busy anyway." Naomi was puzzled as she asked, "Did Mr. Olsen hire more servants for himself?"
As far as she recalled, Loraine was the only one working in Culver's apartment due to his strange personality. To be precise, Loraine had been sent by Marilyn to watch over Culver.
Loraine replied hesitatingly, "Uh, I think so."
"Thank you, Loraine, but I really don't need any more stew. I'll see you off downstairs as I want to head out and buy something too."
Loraine hurriedly said, "Then, I'll keep you company!"
"Okay!" That way, she could buy something for Loraine as a way to express her gratitude.
The two of them went downstairs together and they chatted along the way. Loraine found that the more she spent time with Naomi, the more she understood why Culver liked her so much.
Naomi was really different from ordinary girls.
