One Night Stand With That Beggar

“Alright, I’ll go and cook the dishes now!” Naomi gritted her teeth and said with a fake smile.

It was only then did Culver put down his phone and said, “I’m sorry, I dialed the wrong number!”

Naomi sneered in her heart, “You want to eat? Sorry, but I’ll let you know just how dangerous the world is!”

Just as she was deep in thought, Culver’s voice rang out from behind.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking about. I’ve already eaten your cooking, so don’t try to fool me.”

Naomi was rendered speechless.

What a sly fox!

In the end, she accepted her fate and cooked the dishes again. Culver finished the dishes with satisfaction and called out to Naomi again.

“I’m not full yet. Cook some more.”

Naomi was exasperated.

She could not hold it in anymore.

“Are you a monster? Why do you eat so much?”

Culver frowned and said, “It’s a blessing that I like your cooking.”

Naomi did not want that kind of blessing!

“Hurry up and cook!”

Naomi pursed her lips before saying, “There are no more ingredients!”

“Impossible!” Culver stood up and said, “There are a lot of ingredients in my fridge!”

“That’s right, there was a lot, but you’ve eaten them all!”

That was also the first time that she had seen someone gorge down food like that. He ate up all the food in the fridge, but he still was craving for more.

Naomi even suspected if he would die from gluttony.

However, from the looks of it, he really did not look like he was full.

“Fine! Just wait here. I’ll ask someone to buy the ingredients right away.”

“Are you out of your mind?”

Naomi looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two o’clock in the morning.

“All the supermarkets are closed at this time, okay? I beg you, just let me get some sleep!”

She did not have the strength to fight with him anymore!

Culver looked reluctant when he saw her yawning.

“Didn’t you practice self defense? How can you become so sleepy easily?”

Naomi was furious as she asked, “What does self defense have to do with whether I’m sleepy or not?”

She was obviously only a human being!

“Okay, fine!” After Culver got what he wanted, he laughed heartily and said, “Based on your good performance tonight, we’ll call it a day. However, tomorrow, you still have to continue…”

Before his voice faded, Naomi had already walked away.

Naomi felt that she needed to get rid of Culver as soon as possible! If things went on like this, she would either be pushed to death by him or be driven crazy by him!

Naomi was extremely frustrated.

…

After Naomi took a bath, she immediately laid on the bed in exhaustion.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard her mobile phone ring. She picked up the call in a daze and heard a familiar voice.

“Are you alright?”

Naomi was stunned as she shouted, “Benedict!”

Since Benedict had gone abroad, they had not contacted each other for a long time.

From the beginning, Benedict had distanced himself from her and did not want to contact her.

Later, Naomi helped him by ignoring him as well, so she did not take the initiative to call him.

Naomi was stunned for half a second before she opened her mouth.

“Good! I’m good!”

Benedict said nothing in response to that. The two of them were silent for a while before they opened their mouths.

“I’ve heard about what happened to you!”

Slightly embarrassed, Naomi hummed.

“It’s all in the past! I’ve forgotten all about him. I’m fine now!”

“I’m sorry,” Benedict’s voice was somewhat hoarse.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Stunned, Naomi asked, “What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with you.”

“I wasn’t able to protect you. I wasn’t able to see clearly who he really was. If I had known, I wouldn’t have left so easily. You’ve protected me when I was a child, but I failed to protect you in return in the end. I’m sorry.”

Her heart felt as if it got hit, and she instantly choked with sobs, feeling uncomfortable.

Ever since that incident, she had always told herself that she had to be strong.

At home, she had to take care of her parents, therefore she could not make them worry. Hence, she had never cried.

Later on, as she needed to take care of Emma, she did not dare to reveal her emotions at will.

It was the first time that someone had said that they had failed to protect her well.

Naomi felt a lump in her throat as tears flowed down her cheeks.

Naomi did not dare to let Benedict hear her cries, therefore she quickly wiped her tears away

She said with a smile, “What are you talking about? You silly boy, isn’t it natural for me to protect you as someone older than you? I will protect you in the future too, and I can protect myself. I don’t need your protection.”

Benedict was quiet for a while, and then he spoke aggrievely.

Then he spoke aggrievedly, “I’m only slightly younger than you.”

“The fact remains that I am older!”

Naomi felt that each time she called him a silly boy, he would feel wronged. Upon hearing his complaints, her mood would improve.

“How are your studies?”

“They’re going well!” Benedict said, “The education here is very fulfilling. I’ve also learned a lot.”

“That’s good! Since you’ve gone abroad, you shouldn’t let your parents down. You should enrich yourself and live the life you want.”

“What about you?” Benedict asked back, “What expectations do you have for me?”

“I…” Naomi smiled and said, “Of course I’m the same as Uncle Harley and Auntie Thea. I also hope that you can enrich yourself and live the life you want.”

Benedict smiled bitterly.

“What’s the use of that now, though? I can’t even protect the person that I want to protect. At first, I left because I thought you had someone to protect you. However, now…”

Naomi’s heart tightened as she replied, “Nonsense. Didn’t I tell you? You have to live for yourself. Besides, you can only protect others when you become strong yourself!”

“Okay!” Benedict answered.

“Well…” Benedict still wanted to ask Naomi about something but there was a knock at the door. Surprised, Naomi hurriedly found an excuse to hang up on the call.

If Benedict found out that she was currently being exploited by a weirdo, that silly boy might quit his studies and fly to her immediately!

After she hung up, Naomi replied after tidying herself up.

“I’m coming! I’m coming!”

When the door was opened, Culver stood outside the door. He wore the same attire as before. It seemed that he had not returned to his room yet.

Naomi frowned and asked, “What else do you want?”

“This is for you!” Culver took out a hand cream from behind his back.

“I saw that you did all the cleaning. This is what my mother used to use when she cooked. This is a reward for you!”

Naomi was confused.

Culver had made it sound like he was giving her a precious gift. Only egomaniacs like him would do such a thing.

She did not open her mouth and did not take the hand cream either.

“I have one myself.”

Culver had probably never been rejected before, therefore he suddenly became a little anxious.

“I know that you don’t have money. This hand cream is very expensive, and I’m giving this to you. Don’t worry, I don’t need you to pay me.”

Naomi was so angry that she was about to laugh.

Why did egomaniacs like him exist in the world?

“I really don’t need this.”

“You were crying!” Culver seemed to have discovered a new insight.

Naomi hurriedly reached out to rub her eyes. She had forgotten to wipe her face when she had come out in a hurry!

She was about to explain herself, “Actually, I…”

However, Culver interrupted her in a solemn tone, “It’s just a hand cream. You don’t have to be too moved. I know that I’m a good person, but you can’t fall in love with me just because of a simple gift!”

Naomi grew even more confused.
