When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 413 Chapter 414 Naomi looked pretty down, and Andrew just sat next to her, keeping his mouth shut and not daring to say a word. Sharon was busy in the kitchen getting dinner ready. When she noticed Andrew had come over, she whipped up some extra food for him. By the time dinner rolled around, Charles still hadn't come home, and Andrew showed no sign of leaving. When Naomi turned to look at Andrew, she caught him staring right at her. Naomi could totally read Andrew like an open book. She knew he had a thing for her, and she'd even teased him about it before.

But right now, she just wasn't in the mood to talk to him. After thinking it over, Naomi said to Andrew, "Your brother's been working late a lot lately, so he'll probably be home late." Andrew's ears went red when he heard that. "It's okay, I'll just stick around for a while. If Theodore still isn't back, I'll head out." Seeing that Sharon had already finished making dinner, Naomi quickly said, "It's already so late, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?" Andrew didn't refuse. "Sure." He was already twenty-two, but he still had that boyish look about him.

Unlike Charles, who always seemed so calm and reliable, Andrew was just an overgrown kid to Naomi. Sharon wasn't exactly pleased, but she still made dinner for the two of them. Yolanda was totally absorbed in her toys, so Sharon brought her dinner upstairs to look after her. Downstairs in the dining room, it was just Naomi and Andrew left. Naomi was clearly distracted, just absentmindedly poking at her rice with her chopsticks, barely eating a thing. Noticing she wasn't touching her food, Andrew picked up a piece of braised pork belly with his chopsticks and placed it on her plate.

"Naomi, you should try this pork belly. It's really tasty, though it's not quite like Teresa's..." He paused, caught off guard by his own words. Only then did it hit him-he hadn't tasted Teresa's cooking in a long time. But deep down, he could still remember exactly how her dishes used to taste. He went on, "Naomi, you should really try it. Sharon's cooking never disappoints." Naomi smiled softly at Andrew. "Thanks." Watching Andrew fuss over her, Naomi couldn't help but wonder if she should hit him up for some cash.

After dinner, Andrew started clearing the dishes and took them into the kitchen, while Naomi wrapped up the leftovers with some plastic wrap. Andrew hadn't really come over to see Charles in the first place. As it got later, he started getting nervous that Charles might actually walk in any minute. So he turned to Naomi and said, "Naomi, I think I should get going." Naomi quickly called out, "Andrew, wait a second." Andrew looked at her, puzzled.

"Naomi, what's up?" Naomi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's talk outside." Noticing Naomi was dressed a bit thin for the weather, Andrew had thoughtfully brought a coat for her. As soon as they stepped out of the hall, the cold air hit them like a wall. Andrew naturally draped the coat over Naomi's shoulders. When she glanced at him in confusion, he just smiled and said, "What's up? Did you want to talk to me about something, Naomi?" Seeing the way Andrew was looking at her, all soft and caring, Naomi suddenly didn't know how to start.

"I..." she mumbled, but she just couldn't bring herself to ask him for money. Andrew noticed her hesitation, looking a bit nervous. "Naomi, what's up? Just say it, I'm listening." Thinking about Ethan's situation, Naomi closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again, it was like she'd finally made up her mind. "Andrew, can you... can you help me out with some cash?" Andrew just grinned. "How much do you need, Naomi?" Naomi didn't beat around the bush. "Two hundred million." Andrew was totally floored by that number. Seeing the look of shock on his face, Naomi quickly laughed it off.

"Andrew, I'm just messing with you. Just forget I said anything, okay?" With that, she was about to turn and head back inside. But right then, Andrew quickly called out, "Naomi, I'll lend it to you." Naomi turned back, staring at Andrew in shock. "Andrew, you..." Andrew smiled softly at her. "Naomi, of course I'll help you." Naomi hurried to say, "Andrew, I'll pay you back, I promise." Andrew grinned even wider. "Naomi, you're my sister-in-law. The Logan family's money is yours too.

I'm just letting you have your share a little early, that's all." Even with Andrew's reassurance, Naomi still couldn't shake off her worries. "But still..." Andrew didn't give her a chance to finish. He stepped up and slipped the bank card right into her hand. "Naomi, just hold onto it for now." Naomi lowered her eyes and reached out to grab the card, but as her fingers closed around it, she accidentally touched Andrew's hand. Right then, Andrew flipped his hand and caught her slender fingers, holding them tight.

Naomi was startled-she instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Andrew just gripped her fingers even tighter, refusing to let go. "Andrew, let go... let go of me," Naomi stammered. Her face went red the moment she spoke. Seeing her blush, Andrew's heart thudded in his chest. He stepped closer, his voice dropping to a desperate whisper. "Naomi, please... don't marry Theodore. Don't do it." You could hear the pain and unwillingness in his voice. He stared into Naomi's eyes, his own gaze hazy and full of confusion. Naomi looked at him, her heart twisting unexpectedly with pain.

Still, she protested, "Andrew, I'm in-law. Let me go." Andrew's eyes were red and wet, and he replied stubbornly, "No, I won't let go." your sister- Just as Naomi was about to say something, Yolanda's voice suddenly piped up. "What are you two doing?" Naomi turned around and saw Yolanda standing in the doorway, dressed in pink pajamas and hugging a pink bunny plushie. Naomi, flustered, quickly pulled her hand away, and Andrew let go of her fingers, Yolanda came running down the stairs, stomping through the snow. She glared at Andrew and growled, "Uncle Andrew, you're bad!

You're bullying Miss Naomi!" As she shouted, she started kicking at Andrew's leg. Andrew lowered his gaze, feeling a wave of panic. He gave Yolanda a stern look and said, "Stop it, I wasn't Chapter 414 bullying Naomi." 55 vouchers Yolanda shouted back, "I saw everything! You totally grabbed Miss Naomi's hand! I'm gonna tell Dad!" Seeing how bossy Yolanda was acting, Andrew got a little annoyed. "Yolanda, who taught you to talk like that?" Yolanda bared her teeth at Andrew. "Hmph! I'm telling Dad, and Dad's gonna get you!" With that, she was about to dash back inside to call Dad.

But as she turned to run, Andrew grabbed her. "No way, you're not calling Dad!" Yolanda got mad too, pouting angrily. "Uncle Andrew is a bad guy! A bad guy!" Andrew wanted to yell at Yolanda, but with Naomi watching, he held back and didn't say anything mean. Naomi, worried things might get out of hand, quickly stepped in and gently freed Yolanda from Andrew's grip. "Andrew, you should head home. I'll take care of the rest." Seeing Naomi say that, Andrew could only nod helplessly.

"Alright, I'll head out then." Naomi replied, "Okay." After Andrew left, Naomi took Yolanda by the hand and led her back into the living room. Once the door was shut, Naomi squatted down to Yolanda's level, her voice gentle as she said, "Yolanda, Uncle Andrew wasn't being mean to me. Let's keep what happened tonight a secret, okay?

Don't tell your dad." Yolanda nodded, but then she made a demand, "Alright, but you have to agree to one thing for me." Naomi was feeling pretty down, but she still forced a smile and asked, "So, what do you want from me?" Yolanda thought for a second, then poked Naomi's cheek and whispered, "Miss Naomi, can you give me a little brother or sister?" Back in kindergarten, Yolanda barely had any friends-nobody really wanted to play with her. All the other kids had their own buddies to play with, but she was always alone.

So after thinking about it seriously, Yolanda decided she wanted Naomi to have a baby brother or sister for her, so she could finally have someone to play with.
