Chapter 163
Naomi took his hand off and poured him a glass of wine. “Doesn’t the nightlife make you feel alive? It makes people unwilling to go home.”
Brendan felt that he’d been mocked by her yet again. He could tell that Naomi was referring to how he didn’t like going home.
He was unable to do anything to Naomi, so he shot a cold glare at Ronald.
Ronald looked at Naomi strictly when he saw Brendan’s expression. He advised, “Naomi, places like these are inappropriate for good wives like you. You should go back with Brendan to the resort and get some rest!
“Look at Brendan. He’s such a great person and has such stunning looks. You should just remain his loyal Mrs. Ludwig. The nightlife has nothing to do with you.”
Ronald spoke as though he wasn’t the one who called Naomi and invited her out to have fun.
When Bailey saw Ronald lose any semblance of the backbone he might’ve had the second Brendan arrived, she kicked him. “Grow a backbone and stop embarrassing yourself.”
The three of them were on the same side. Bailey felt that Ronald giving in meant that both of them did so too.
However, she and Naomi would never give in.
After pouring him a glass, Naomi looked toward Ronald and asked, “When have I ever been a good wife?”
She wouldn’t dare to slap such a label on herself. The word “good” had nothing to do with her. “Wife” was worse than that.
Bailey cleared her throat and added, “Feisty girl.”
Naomi grinned at Bailey’s comment. However, Brendan’s expression was painful to look at.
Ronald broke into a cold sweat whenever Brendan’s expression soured. He advised her, “Naomi, please, just go back with Brendan?”
Naomi and Bailey were women, so Brendan wouldn’t do anything to them: However, he could skin him. His gaze terrified him.
Naomi took a fruit pick and put a piece of honeydew into her mouth. “Ronald, your ability to gauge the situation is atrocious. Can’t you see that Mr. Ludwig also wants to have fun?”
After she spoke, she turned and said, “Right, Mr. Ludwig?”
At Naomi’s jest, Brendan grabbed her chin and pulled her closer. He then leaned toward her and took the honeydew from her mouth.
Naomi complained, “Brendan, can’t you have some decorum? There’s a plateful of fruit there. Does it. taste better from my mouth?”
Brendan rubbed her lips gently. “It does taste better coming from between your lips.”
Bailey and Ronald found Brendan’s outrageous actions painful to watch. They could see that both husband and wife were not regular people.
Nearby, the lawyers of Dorcan watched Brendan tease Naomi and thought that women still got the upper hand, especially pretty women.
Gwendolyn’s face took on an awkward expression. She had sought him out privately and even stripped in
front of him.
Brendan had only said two words, “Fuck off!”
But she had never thought that Brendan would seek someone out shamelessly and that someone would
be Naomi.
Initially, she had wanted to…
It seemed now that she had taken an extra step for nothing. She had only added fuel to their flames of
passion.
Brendan didn’t like places like bars. Yet Naomi was unwilling to leave. Thus, he sat beside her and
scrolled through his phone.
The two of them had engaged in multiple rounds of conflict. In addition, he had used Chloe to piss her off yesterday. Thus, he was obeying her every instruction now.
His hand was slung around her sofa, their actions ambiguous. In addition, he had taken food from her mouth. He had shown his ownership over her.
Occasionally, when he looked at her and saw her chatting happily with Bailey and Ronald, Brendan smiled.
Although Naomi smiled at him every time she saw him, he always felt a sense of distance upon seeing her enthusiasm and grin toward him..
It wasn’t like her smile now, which was youthful and bright.
