Chapter 66
So, after Naomi left, Jason once again reminded Chloe that she didn’t need to worry about Brendan’s
meals.
Chloe remained silent until both Naomi and Jason left. Only then did she turn to find Brendan.
She knocked on his office door. Brendan immediately sensed that something was wrong. He asked, “Did
you run into Naomi?”
“Yeah,” Chloe replied hesitantly. “I had prepared lunch for you, but Naom….
Before she could finish her sentence, she stopped herself.
Brendan’s gaze lingered on her momentarily.
Chloe quickly changed the subject. “Brendan, are we still going to the cemetery in the afternoon?”
“Yes.”
“In that case, I’ll prepare some things first.”
Suddenly, Brendan said, “Stay away from Naomi.”
Chloe hesitated for a moment and then whispered, “Alright.”
Brendan returned to Yellowind Bay at around 9:00 pm. Naomi had returned before him, as usual.
She greeted him casually, “You’re back”
Brendan hung his coat on the rack and asked, “Did you throw away Chloe’s food today?”
Naomi still had a smile on her face as she said, “Do you want a packed lunch? I’ll have Jennifer prepare some food for you tomorrow. You can have whatever you want.”
At Naomi’s nonchalant response, Brendan said coldly, “Naomi, don’t pick on the weak.”
Brendan’s words made Naomi chuckle.
She suddenly stopped walking toward him and folded her hands across her chest. She stared at Brendan for a while before saying. “If I don’t pick on her, who would you protect?”
Brendan cast a cold glance at Naomi. Her amusement grew,

e wanted to say something to him, but in the end, she just smiled and remarked, “If you’re worried that I’ll do something to her, then have a child with her! You can move out and live with her then.”
Naomi had said those words with a smile, but she couldn’t quite describe how she felt inside, especially after she saw Brendan’s mocking glance.
Upon hearing her words, Brendan remained indifferent and said, “You can forget about having children.”

The smile on Naomi’s face gradually faded, and the atmosphere became tense.
He had been questioning and warning her since he entered the room, and she had been responding with a
smile. However, now she couldn’t bring herself to smile anymore.
As the two of them stood in this tense silence, Brendan’s phone suddenly rang. He averted his gaze and
answered the call.
Chloe’s voice came through immediately. “Brendan, I left my bag in your car. Are you free now? Can I
come to pick it up?”
Brendan replied, “I’ll bring it down in half an hour.”
Upon hearing that Brendan was willing to help her with her bag, Chloe’s voice brightened as she said, Okay, Brendan, I’ll be waiting.”
Brendan ended the call and gave Naomi a cold look. Then, he left the bedroom.
Naomi couldn’t help but chuckle with a mocking smile. He had said that he just owed Chloe a favor. There was no way Naomi believed that.
When she heard the car starting up, Naomi suddenly noticed a few flower petals on the carpet by the door. She walked over and picked them up–they were chrysanthemum petals.
Brendan had gone to the cemetery today, and Chloe had been with him.
As Naomi stared at the two petals, her phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Naomi calmly answered the call, and a panicked voice on the other end burst out, “Naomi, help me!”
