My Second Husband novel Chapter 996

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God!" They all thought in unison.

Nobody was injured.

Eudora said, "Fortunately, I have prepared extra ingredients in the fridge."

Christopher held his forehead and said, "There's no more!"

Eudora was bewildered.

Tina said with embarrassment, "I tried making it once at home before, and I thought my cooking skills were much better than before. That's why I took all the ingredients out from the fridge just now. I wanted to give you guys a surprise!"

"This is indeed quite the surprise," Harley said in a low voice.

He was stopped by a sidelong glance from Thea.

"I'll go down the mountain to buy some new ingredients," Christopher suggested.

"I'll go too!" Tina said awkwardly.

Naomi said, "I'll do it! After all, I'm one of the younger ones here. Please wait here, I'll be back as soon as possible!"

After that, Naomi had already turned and left in the car.

Benedict immediately followed her and said, "Then, I'll accompany her."

Originally, Tina had wanted to say something, but Christopher stretched his hand out to stop her.

"Let the children go. It's a great opportunity for them to improve their relationship."

Tina came to a sudden realization and said, "That's right! The two of you should go then! Well rest for a while."

Although they knew that Naomi was dating Nelson, as elders, they had watched their children grow up together.

Naturally, it would be best if they could know more about Naomi's partner. That was especially true for Benedict. Everyone had seen how he had loved Naomi since he was a child.

Although he was slightly younger than Naomi, he had a mature mindset due to his health. If Naomi were to be with him, she definitely wouldn't live a bad life.

Naomi wanted to refuse, but Benedict had been obstinate.

So, she had to let him follow her.

Naomi drove the car along the way. Benedict sat beside her and looked at her from time to time.

"Naomi, you look unhappy."

Truth be told, he had already noticed it that afternoon. Naomi had always used to be optimistic and cheerful.

In his eyes, she was just like sunshine, bringing warmth, light and hope to him.

Back then, when he had been on his sickbed, he felt a surge of hope every time he saw her. Perhaps that was the reason why he liked her so much.

However, her optimism and cheerfulness seemed to have disappeared.

Naomi gave him a suspicious look and said, "No!"

"Yes, you do!"

His attention had always been on her, hence he could see through her easily.

"It's probably because I've had a lot of things to deal with recently!"

"Is it because Nelson isn't treating you well?" Benedict blurted out.

Although he was reluctant to admit that Naomi was dating Nelson, it was still an indisputable fact.

Naomi pursed her lips and said, "No, he treats me really well!"

Her apparent anxiety upon mentioning Nelson once again hurt Benedict.

"Okay!"

After that, they did not say anything more.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a town with a supermarket. Benedict and Naomi went in to buy ingredients. After they paid for the things, Benedict was about to carry the bags when Naomi took them away.

"Let me carry them for you!"

"I can do it myself!" Benedict said.

Truth be told, he had no idea why he was being so persistent.

In the past, she was used to taking care of him and he was also used to being taken care of.
