Chapter 192
Brendan had a slight smile on his face. Naomi spat out a sliver of peanut skin and said, “What are you looking at me for? I’ll bring you along to eat with us next time.”
Brendan snickered.
After that, he stood up from the sofa leisurely. “Let’s go. I’ll have Mom give me a lesson personally on
how to take care of my wife.”
He had put his work aside to come home, only to end up getting a scolding from Heather. Not only that,
Naomi was even acting like she was here to watch a show.
Naomi replied, “I’m not hungry.”
Just as she said that, Brendan scooped her up in a bridal carry. He then marched toward the dining room
before putting her down by the dining table.
Upon seeing this, Heather rushed over.
She watched as Brendan scooped up a big bowl of sweet potato soup for Naomi. He even scooped up an
entire plate of supper foods and placed it in front of her. “Finish them.”
Next, he turned his face toward Heather and asked, “Was this how Maximus cared for her?”
Heather shook her head vigorously. She felt that her son had gone overboard. He was rather hopeless.
Unlike Maximus, Brendan was bossy. Furthermore, his demeanor was more threatening than caring
Naomi could tell that Brendan was pranking her on purpose out of spite. With her bare foot, she gave him
a kick that was neither gentle nor strong. “Behave yourself.”
Brendan gave her a frigid glance. “Don’t dream of going to bed if you’re not going to finish these, Naomi.”
She had so much joy dining with others outside. So, she should eat more when she was at home.
Naomi hurled the peanuts in her hands at him.
Heather noticed that Brendan was getting upset. In turn, she became displeased.
“So, did I just tell you all that for nothing? I was telling you to treat Naomi better, not to threaten her. If you’re going to keep this up, perhaps she’ll really end up not being your wife in the future.”
Right after that, Naomi was about to walk away barefooted. Brendan extended his hand and grabbed her by the arm. “Where are you going? You haven’t even put your shoes on.”
Then, he continued in a well–mannered tone, “I haven’t had dinner. Surely you can keep me company while
1 eat!”
Upon saying that, he picked up the bowl of sweet potato soup and raised the spoon to her mouth.
Naomi took a quick glance at the bowl full of soup. Brendan offered nicely, “I’ll have some. I won’t make you finish everything.”

Since he tried to coax her, Naomi decided not to embarrass him. She then opened her mouth to eat the
soup.
Heather was by the side. She observed how Brendan had one foot on Naomi’s chair while he fed her. A smile spread across her face. She reminded, “Rest early, both of you. I’ll be going back to accompany your
father.”
With that, she left while humming a tune.
Although Heather had left, her words were still ringing in Brendan’s ears.
Thus, when Brendan returned to the bedroom with Naomi, he removed his coat and remarked, “You can
have a good life, Naomi, I can give you whatever you want. Don’t go looking for misery.”
Naomi responded, “Why didn’t you say that for Mom to hear while she was still here?”
Brendan wrapped his arms around her waist and reeled her in. “Stay away from Maximus.”
Naomi replied perfunctorily, “Far, far away, I’ll stay…”
She hadn’t even finished speaking when he leaned in and cut her off with a kiss on her lips.
The look in Naomi’s eyes dimmed. Again?
She placed her hands against his chest. She no longer felt like it. Moreover, perhaps it was as Heather had said that she had already conceived, just that she wasn’t showing any signs of pregnancy yet.
