As Naomi had shouted for a long time, her throat had become hoarse. In the end, she could only sit down on the stairs and rest for a while.
Of course, if she could throw these ingredients at Culverâs head without getting threatened by him, she would do so immediately!
â¦
Inside, when Culver heard Naomiâs flattery, his heart inexplicably cheered up.
He cooked himself some steak and opened a bottle of fine red wine. He ate slowly as he enjoyed the wine.
The wine tasted good, but the steakâ¦
The steak he had eaten before was fragrant and tender. However, he felt like he was eating the insoles of a shoe at that moment. After he took a bite, he could not eat it anymore!
It was really the worst steak he had ever eaten.
Just then, Aaron called.
He was in a bad mood and complained, âDidnât I tell you to choose the best quality steak? What did you buy?â
Aaron felt wronged as he explained, âItâs really the best of the best. Weâve always bought from that shop!â
âThen, why does it taste so bad?â
Aaron hesitated for a while before asking, âWas Loraine the one who cooked it?â
âI did it myself!â Culver said loudly.
Aaron stopped talking for a while before replying, âPerhaps itâs because of you, so it doesnât taste good?â
âWhat did you just say?â
âNo, no, I donât mean that. Do you need me to send someone to make a new one for you?â
âThereâs no need for that!â Culver threw his phone lazily.
He was too lazy to cook it again, therefore he threw the steak aside and drank the red wine alone.
After half a glass of wine, the sound from outside stopped.
He frowned and walked to the window to take a look. He saw Naomi sitting on the stairs like a homeless stray dog.
He raised his eyebrows and went back to drinking again.
After a while, Naomiâs voice sounded at the door again.
âHey! Mr. Olsen, open the door. Itâs raining outside!â
Culver replied, âSo what if itâs raining? Shouldnât you be a little more sincere now that you are asking for my help?â
Screw sincerity!
Naomi cursed him a hundred times in her heart, but she still softened her voice.
âMr. Olsen, arenât I being sincere? Iâve been waiting here for you for the entire afternoon, and Iâve bought a lot of delicious ingredients. Iâve asked Loraine about it and she said that theyâre all your favorite food! Itâs late, and you must be hungry, right? Let me in, and Iâll make some food for you!â
âThatâs not necessary!â Culver refused her offer, âI already had something to eat! Itâs imported steak! The quality was top-notch! It tasted good too!â
He suddenly felt that the disgusting steak was pleasing to the eye as it could be used to aggravate Naomi!
Naomi was taken aback.
Naomi scolded in her heart, âCulver Olsen, you freak! Mega freak!â
Suddenly, thunder sounded. Naomi was so frightened that she hid under the entrance hall.
However, it was summer and the rain was incredibly heavy. The entrance hall was not big enough and soon she was soaked.
Naomi really wanted to leave, but then she remembered Emma and her soon-to-end dreams and goals.
She really did not want to give up so easily.
She was also her parentsâ precious daughter, and her parents loved her so much in return. If she was at home and Eudora was to see that she was getting drenched in rain, she would be extremely distressed.
Her heart ached, but she held in her anger. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and her eyes turned red.
Inside, Culver was happy to hear her flattering over him from the outside. Suddenly, there was no sound anymore. Coupled with the sound of thunder and lightning outside, he ran to the window to take a look.
As a result, he did not see anyone there!
His heart skipped a beat, as he thought that she would be more persistent. Maybe if she had insisted a little longer, he would have opened the door for her.
Just as he thought about it, he heard the sound of someone crying.
Curiously, he walked over and opened the door, only to see Naomi curled up by the door.
From the beginning, in front of Culver, she had always maintained the image of a charismatic and mighty woman. At that moment, she looked even more pitiful than stray puppies.
He hesitated for a moment and said, âHey, youâ¦â
Naomi completely exploded.
She stood up with a loud thud and started to complain to Culver.
âWho do you think you are? Youâre just relying on the wealth left by your ancestors to act arrogantly in front of others. If you have the ability, donât rely on your family. Go out and start your own business alone. Iâd like to see if you can still embarrass others like this!â
Culverâs face fell as he asked, âWhat did you say?â
Naomi became even more worked up.
âIâm talking about you, you freak! Do you think everyone around you really respects you? Do you know how they scold you in their hearts? Iâve never seen such a hard man to deal with like you. You freak! If you had not used my weakness to threaten me, I would have beaten you up eight hundred times!â
âNaomi George!â Culverâs facial expression was exceptionally agitated. The joy on his face from just then had also disappeared!
âYou must be tired of living!â
âYes, Iâm tired of living! You just want to torture me anyway. Come on. Letâs see who will lose!â
Culver was so angry that he started laughing.
âDonât think that I will fight you just because you are scolding me now. As a man from the Olsen family, we do not hit women. Furthermore, what if I hit you, and you put all the blame on me and cling onto me?â
âWho wants to cling on to you, you a*shole!â
She was so angry that she spoke foul words that she had never said before!
On the contrary, Culver calmed down and said, âOkay, you said it! I wonât close the door. Make your choice if you want to come in or not.â
After he said that, he turned around and went in.
Naomi looked at his back and almost wanted to kill him.
If she went in, she would be the a*shole. If she walked away, he would sue her.
She had set a trap for herself!
Who would have thought that Culver would be so cunning?
After she stood there for a while, she finally clenched her fists.
Who cared about admitting defeat?! She thought about the time Eudora had told her that being able to adapt to situations was the greatest trait a person can have.
Determined, Naomi picked up all the ingredients and strode in.
Culver sat on the sofa. When he saw her, he squinted his eyes.
âSo you admit youâre an a*shole?â
Naomi was exasperated.
She ignored him and went straight to the dining room.
She decided that since she had already earned the title of an a*shole, she should be nicer to herself. She did not want to be enslaved by that d*mned Culver. Due to the fact that she had gotten caught in the rain outside, she was about to starve to death!
When she passed the dining room, she saw the so-called top-notch steak that Culver had mentioned.
The color of the steak was burnt black and she saw that he had only taken a small bite.
With one look, she knew that it was nearly inedible.
Culver really could lose anything but his dignity!
Naomi rolled her eyes and went straight into the kitchen with the ingredients. At that moment, she suddenly realized that it had been a wise choice for her to learn how to cook.
Eudora was from Rosaville City, therefore she was best at cooking dishes that the city was known for. Of course, Rosaville Cityâs dishes were not only locally famous.
They were famous throughout the entire country!
Naomi was quite decent at cooking herself. She had learned a little from Eudora, therefore she was good at making meals for herself.
She made barbecue ribs, pan fried chicken, grilled sea bass, and some soup.
The soup was supposed to be the most delicious dish, but since she did not have much time, she made a fairly simple recipe.
Naomi placed each dish on the table, and started eating slowly.
Naomi grew up in the Granger family, and was educated by Amos from childhood to have good eating etiquette despite the fact that she was hungry.
Culver looked at her as if he was looking at a joke. In his opinion, how could such an unrefined woman know how to cook?
It was not until the aroma of the food came from the kitchen that he suddenly lost a bit of his composure!
