Chapter 50
When Naomi wasn’t pestering Brendan relentlessly, he complained that she was behaving weirdly. But when she teased or flirted with him, he called her cheap and shameless.
Since he didn’t like her, everything she did was wrong. So, she should just stay quiet then!
Whatever he wanted, she would just agree to it.
Naomi’s statement made Brendan even more unhappy. He would prefer her to argue loudly with him than let him lick his own wounds in silence.
He stared at Naomi and asked, “Why do I find it hard to believe that Maximus has no other intentions toward you?”
Naomi laughed at how ridiculous Brendan was being. It had been two years since Maximus was last here.
Crossing her arms, Naomi looked at Brendan and smiled.
“Shouldn’t I also ask you the same thing? With your abilities, you could have arranged a job for Chloe anywhere else. Why did you specifically assign her to the secretary position at Ludwig Corporation? Just because you do things a certain way, do you think everyone else is the same?”
Brendan was rendered speechless.
His gaze softened a little as he asked, “Are you still bothered about her?”
Naomi smiled and replied, “Who am I to care about the things you do? I’ll be thankful if you don’t find trouble with me.“.
For over two years, Naomi had never argued with him about matters outside their relationship. Her principle was to focus only on major issues and to let go of trivial matters. As long as Brendan was willing to have children, that was enough.
But now that she was in no mood to have children, Brendan wasn’t useful to her anymore..
Seeing Naomi’s apathetic attitude, Brendan said coldly, “Naomi, you really don’t qualify to be Mrs. Ludwig.
Following his lead, Naomi sighed and said, “After two years of marriage, I still couldn’t give birth to a child for you. I’m not qualified indeed!”
Brendan’s expression soured immédiately, as he felt that Naomi was mocking him.
Suddenly getting off the bed, Brendan tightened the belt of his robe and said, ‘I’m not arguing with you.
With that, he opened the bedroom door and left. Naomi turned and glanced at the door. She smirked, sat down at the table, and continued her work.
After a short while, her phone rang. It was a call from Heather.
Naomi answered the phone and greeted Heather.
Chapter 50
“Naomi, are you home? Brendan is home too, isn’t he?” Heather’s voice came through the phone.
“He just went out,” Naomi replied.
On the other end, Heather raised her voice upon hearing that Brendan had gone out again.
“Why did he go out again? Hasn’t he been staying home these days?”
Before Naomi could respond, Heather continued with a serious tone, “Naomi, this isn’t good for you and Brendan. If this continues, it might not end well. You need to hurry up and give birth to his child already. A man is more likely to return when he has a child. Furthermore…”
Realizing that what she was about to say might hurt Naomi, Heather swallowed back her words.
But in her heart, Heather thought about all the fortune tellers who had told her that only Naomi could have a child with Brendan. Why couldn’t Naomi take this seriously?
If Heather were in her shoes, she would think about it all day long. How could Naomi still think about
work?
Naomi typed on the keyboard and said, “I know, Mom. I’ve kept that in mind.”
When it came to her relationship with Brendan, Naomi truly didn’t dare to think about it too much. If they could conceive a child, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
Heather said, “I’ll call Brendan and talk to him.”
With that, she hung up and called Brendan.
As soon as the call connected, Heather yelled, “Brendan, did you go out again? Just when Naomi came back, you left. What is your problem?”
