My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 961

Thea was stunned. When she saw that Naomi had returned, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's just been a few days, but you look prettier already!"

Naomi shook her head and smiled, "Of course not. Auntie Thea is the most beautiful!"

When Naomi was with people she was familiar with, she would become very talkative.

"How about me? Don't I look good?" Tina asked.

"Auntie Tina, you look good as well! You're the most beautiful!"

Tina could only laugh out loud, "Naomi, you're still as sharp as back when you were a child! You have Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

good taste! Though, why didn't you tell us that you're in a relationship? I had to find this out from the

news!"

Thea was stunned and immediately asked, "Naomi, you're in a relationship? Is it with the man from the

scandal you had last time?"

She had been so focused on taking care of her children that she rarely watched the news. However,

she was aware that she had returned last time because of Naomi's scandals

with someone.

A while after that, the news had died. Because of that, she still thought the scandal was already over.

Now that she had heard Tina's words out of the blue, she started to panic. She had always liked Naomi

and wanted Naomi to be with her son!

Such a thought had been weighing on her mind for a good decade! How could she allow a stranger to

suddenly swoop in and ruin her plans?

Tina froze upon realizing Thea's reaction. How could she forget that Thea had constantly been thinking

about this?

"Thea, I was just running my mouth..."

However, Thea was already alerted as she asked, "Naomi, why don't you tell Auntie Thea if it's true or

not."

Truthfully, Naomi had never thought of getting together with Benedict in the first place. To her, he would

always be her little brother that grew up together with her.

How could she fall in love with him? Furthermore, her feelings for Nelson were real.

Instead of having everyone misunderstand her, it was better for her to take this opportunity to clarify

things once and for all.

Naomi thought about this and bowed solemnly to Thea. She began to apologize, "I'm sorry, Auntie

Thea. I was negligent and should have told you this earlier! Indeed, I am having a good relationship

with Luther!"

She did not say that they were lovers because she also had to consider Eudora's feelings. After all, her

parents had yet to accept Nelson formally.

However, to her, she had already accepted Nelson!

Once she spoke, she suddenly heard the sound of something crashing to the floor coming from behind

her. Everyone shifted their gaze, only to see Benedict rooted to the floor. The cake in his hands had

fallen to the ground and was utterly ruined.

"I-I'm sorry..."

He quickly squatted down to clean up the cake while trying to cover up the pain in his eyes.

Thea sounded disappointed as she sighed, "Naomi, it seems that we are not fated to be related! I really

wanted you to be my daughter-in-law!"

Naomi tried to laugh, "Why don't I be your daughter instead? In the future, I will be filial to you as I am

to my mother!"

Thea was about to nod when Benedict's cold refusal was heard from behind them.

"I don't want to!"

Thea was stunned and gasped, "What are you talking about?"

"I refuse. I do not want to have an elder sister!"

After that, he turned around and left with the smashed cake in his hand!

Thea immediately let go of Naomi and tried to calm the situation down, "I'll take care of him. The two of

you can continue talking!"

Thea found Benedict sitting on the doorsteps with a lonely look on his face.

She sat down beside him and called out gently, "Benedict."

Benedict raised his head and insisted, "I'm fine. You don't have to be worried about me."

Thea used to suffer from depression until she finally got better. However, Harley had always reminded

their two children not to get angry with their mother.

They weren't allowed to provoke their mother and cause her emotions to fluctuate.

Both Benedict and his sister had done very well. Even at a time like this, he suppressed his feelings

and spoke calmly to her.

Thea shook her head, "I know what you're thinking! Although you did not say them out loud, I am your

mother. Of course I'd know! In the past, I thought that you two still had a chance because you two were

still young, but now..."

She sighed, "Forget it, son! We should respect Naomi's choice, shouldn't we?"

"I don't want to!" Benedict could no longer hold it in and shouted.

Thea was stunned and wanted to comfort him, "Listen..."

"I can take care of my own affairs, so stop worrying about me! I am not hungry, so I'll go back first!"

After he said so, he stood up and left in a hurry.

Thea wanted to catch up with him. However, she heard Harley's voice when she was about to reach

out her hand to stop him.

"I heard everything. Forget it, just let him think about it himself! He's not young anymore, so he should

have the right to make his own decisions!"

Thea was still worried, "But Cutie Pie's body..."

"He's not that weak! I believe in our son! Everything is ready inside, so let's go in and have something

to eat. We can go back and comfort him later, is that okay?"

Thea compromised and the two went in.

After covering up for Benedict's absence, everyone sat down and had a good meal.

After the meal, everybody left.

When Tina left, she looked apologetically at Eudora.

"Eudora, I'm sorry. I didn't know that Thea had such thoughts. I really did not mean to ruin the

atmosphere today!"

Eudora knew that Tina was a careless person. In addition, Christopher had spoiled her to the extreme

for the past few years.

At the same time, she never doubted whatever Tina said.

After giving it some thought, she shook her head and assured Tina.

"It's fine, don't worry!"

After sending Tina away, Eudora looked at Naomi.

"If you're not busy these two days, it's better for you to talk to Benedict! I understand what he is thinking

about."

Naomi shrugged helplessly, "Mom, do you also think that Benedict has feelings for me? It's impossible!

He's just a child!"

Eudora could only sigh and explain, "You may not have noticed since you were the one involved

directly. However, I don't care if you were aware or not, I won't allow you to hurt Auntie Thea and her

family because of this. Thus, you have to deal with this properly, and don't make Benedict feel bad

either."

"I will!" Naomi nodded, "Don't worry, mom!"

In the evening, after giving it much thought, Naomi sent a message to Benedict.

"Cutie Pie?"

Then, she left to take a bath. Unexpectedly, after coming out of the bath, she had received no new

messages. Benedict had yet replied to her message!

It was abnormal. In the past, he'd reply in a matter of seconds!

Naomi pursed her lips. Oh, forget it. She'd just have to go to his university to give him mental support

and to talk to him the next day.

This brat was still the same as before. He loved to throw tantrums!

Because of this, Naomi had to put in some extra effort. The next day, she specially chose a more

casual outfit.

It was a simple white t-shirt with a pair of jeans.

She looked exactly like the students in Benedict's school. If she apologized to him like this, she would

look more sincere.

On the way, she even bought some light sticks and placards. She wanted to cheer for him for his event.

With all the preparations in place, she then headed out.
