My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1013

The next day, when Nelson woke up in the morning, Naomi was no longer by his side.

He sat up and made a dart for downstairs. In the dining room, breakfast had already been placed on

the table.

He dashed into the kitchen, and it was neat and clean.

Naomi was holding a plate. She noticed his appearance and smiled at him. Then, she took a piece of

bread from the plate and sent it towards his mouth.

"Have a try!"

When she saw that he didn't respond, she added another sentence.

"It's not that bad!"

Only then did he come to his senses. He shook his head and opened his mouth.

"It's delicious."

Naomi laughed cheerfully upon hearing that. Sunshine came in through the window behind her,

enlivening and warming the room with her smile.

Nelson happened to see the wound on Naomi's arm. He quickly pulled her over and observed it

carefully as he asked, "How did this happen?"

"It's nothing!" Naomi hurriedly withdrew her hand from his.

However, it was pulled back by him again.

She had inherited her mother's skin tone, so she was fair. Although she had practiced self defense for

many years, there would still be marks left on her natural skin when she got injured.

At the moment, there was a burn mark on her arm.

"How did you get burnt?"

Naomi smiled and said, "I'm fine! I was careless when I took the lid off the pot just now. I've already

applied ointment. It will be alright soon!"

Nelson frowned and looked around the kitchen.

Eventually, his gaze fell on a cabinet in the kitchen. He went over and opened it. Burnt ingredients were

exposed.

It turned out that she had practiced many times before she had gotten a satisfactory outcome.

Naomi gave him a sheepish smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'll do it better next time! I..."

He gave her a cuddle without hesitation.

"You don't have to apologize. It's me who should apologize."

Naomi was dumbstruck. When she had practiced self-defense in the past, it would always be her

mistake whenever she didn't do well. For countless times, in order to achieve the result expected by

her teacher, she had to repeat the same move or action day and night.

She would only stop when she had mastered the move.

The experience was not too tough for her. On the contrary, it was a way to polish up her resilience.

However, after hearing Nelson's affectionate words, she felt a lump in her throat.

She sniffed and got ready to tell him otherwise.

He took her hand again and asked gently, "Did you wake up early? Don't do this in the future. I won't

force you to devote too much time and energy for our family."

Naomi answered, "It's not like that. It's just that I've seen how happy Mom was when she cooked for

Dad. It's the same for me too. I really enjoy the feeling of making food for my other half. Don't you feel

happy too?"

Her eyes were clear and pure, and there was a guileless innocence on her face.

Nelson suddenly felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Then, I'll accompany you next time!"

"Sure, let's have breakfast together!"

He stretched his hand out and took over the plate from her hand as he said, "You've done enough.

Now, it's my turn. Sit outside and wait for me!"

Naomi nodded her reply, "Okay!"

At the dining table, Naomi's phone rang as she was having a bowl of oatmeal. It was from a colleague.

She said, "Missy, you should come to work early today. Boss said that there was something wrong with

the project last night. I think there will be an emergency meeting later, and you must not let her get the

goods on you!"

Naomi was perplexed and replied, "What's the problem? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Don't you feel ashamed to ask me that? I kept calling you last night, but you didn't answer. I don't

know what you were up to!"

Naomi felt embarrassed. Last night, she seemed to have turned off her phone because she wanted to

have a moment of tranquility with her lover.

"Okay, I got it!"

After hanging up on the call, she was no longer in the mood to have her breakfast. She simply picked

up a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, she got up and put on her shoes, preparing to

go to the company.

Seeing her actions, Nelson caught up with her and handed her a glass of milk.

"Let's go. I'll drive and send you over there!"

Along the way, Naomi received several calls and finally got a general idea of what was going on.

It was the project that Amos and Nelson were fighting for. Originally, it would have been a piece of cake

for Valiant East to handle it.

Unfortunately, a fire had erupted at a warehouse near the construction site of the project a few days

ago, causing the ongoing plans in the surroundings to be affected.

The project had been suspended. The investors had suffered a great loss, and they were going to start

resigning from their positions.

The project had come to a halt mid-construction, and Valiant East couldn't get the reimbursement. Now,

people in the company were trying to figure out a way to save the project.

However, Naomi had no idea about the enmity between Valiant East and Inchee Company. She was

muttering on the way, "The last choice left will be to modify the project, right?"

Nelson nodded and replied, "It's true. It's just that the investors might not be willing to do so. Now that

they're ready to rid themselves of their positions, they might not agree with you. Even if they do, we'll

have to show them some positive results first. However, we have to do it with our own funds. Since

Valiant East has already put in quite a lot of effort and money, I bet it's not acceptable for us to do that!"

Nelson's analysis was brief and to the point.

With a sigh, Naomi pursed her lips.

"I have to give it a try anyway! This is a project valued by Dad. If I don't carry it out well, I am afraid that

other shareholders will oppose him. Now that he isn't around, I must do my best!"

After that, Naomi couldn't help whispering.

"How could Dad be interested in such a project?"

In theory, Amos had always been astute and the projects he handled in the past had all been

successful!

Nelson thought about it for a while.

"He probably wanted to take a risk to earn high profits!"

Of course, that was what Nelson had thought of at the moment.

After watching Naomi get out of the car, he was about to drive away when someone opened the door to

the passenger seat next to him.

Monique stood there with a smile and asked, "Would you give me a ride?"

Nelson glanced at the direction in which Naomi had left before he nodded in agreement.

"Miss Monique, get in!"

Monique quickly got into the car and closed the door. Then, they took off immediately.

Monique took another look at the direction of Valiant East's building and said, "You should have heard

about the project already. This is a good opportunity for us!"

Nelson started to break out in a cold sweat as he said, "I haven't heard about it."

Monique chuckled as she replied, "Do you really not know, or are you lying? Everyone says that you

are a shrewd businessman. What is it now? Do you need me to teach you this time? What was our Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

purpose at the beginning? Don't tell me that you really think you're here to get into a relationship with

that girl Naomi! She is merely a tool for us to get close to Valiant East and the Granger family, so that

we can completely vanquish them. Now is the best chance for you to enter Valiant East. You have to

seize this chance!"
