Chapter 199
Furthermore, only a handful of people at the office knew about her relationship with Brendan. Naomi
didn’t want their relationship to go public.
Brendan disregarded Naomi’s rejection. He took the documents from her hands. He then pulled her by
the hand and exited his office together.
Naomi withdrew her hand from his. “I’m still looking for my future spouse. Don’t ruin my image as a single
woman,” she joked.
After she said that, Brendan gave her a peck unapologetically. “Who would have the guts to be your future spouse?”
Someone came out from the office ahead of them right after Brendan kissed Naomi. She breathed a sigh
of relief when she saw that the person was Jason.
Then, she stomped on his foot and warned, “Behave yourself.”
Jason noticed their squabble. With a serious expression, he greeted, “Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig.”
Jason was delighted to see the interaction between them. It was no wonder that Brendan had been in such a good mood recently. It turned out to be because of his reconciliation with Naomi.
“Mr. Ludwig.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Ludwig.”
“Good day, Mr. Ludwig.”
Following that, a few other people came over from the elevator lobby. They saw Brendan and Naomi walking together. Each of them shot glances at Naomi when they were greeting Brendan.
They thought that this lawyer from Solaris Law Firm looked gorgeous. She could have made a living out of her looks, but she was insistent on relying on her own capabilities.
They waited until Brendan and Naomi turned the corner to the elevator lobby. A few female employees
then started to gossip.
“Ms. Goodwin feels somewhat different from the past. Though, she is indeed a beauty. She looks good next to Mr. Ludwig.”
“Ms. Goodwin gives off class. Chloe is no match for her on this particular point.”
“Speaking of that, is there anything going on between Chloe and Mr. Ludwig? Why does it feel like Mr. Ludwig doesn’t feel that way about her?”
“I have no idea! But there seems to be something between Mr. Ludwig and Ms. Goodwin.”
They grouped together and chattered. Initially, Chloe was going to come out from her office. In the end, she retreated quietly.

She would have loved to be as classy and as proud as Naomi. Unfortunately, her family background couldn’t provide her with such confidence.
Moments later, Brendan and Naomi arrived downstairs. James drove the car over, but Brendan dismissed him. He opened the car door for Naomi to get in.
Brendan had just started the car when Naomi received a call from a client. Ludwig Corporation was far behind them by the time she was done with the call.
Brendan gripped the steering wheel with his hands. He turned to Naomi and commented, “You’re busier at
work than I am.”
Ever since he witnessed her at work in court, he never said that she was a s
a small fry again.
Before Naomi could reply, he asked, “What happens after you get pregnant and become a mother?”
With a smile on her face, Naomi said, “Mom said that the baby will just stay in my tummy temporarily. I
won’t have to mind it after I give birth.”
Upon saying that, she realized that Brendan was not driving her in the direction of her law firm. She looked at him and exclaimed, “This is not the way to my firm! Where are you taking me?”
Brendan answered, “Were you really just going to have two spoonfuls of soup for lunch? We’re going to get something to eat.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Keep me company and have a bite or two then.”
He had a sensitive stomach. Naomi wasn’t feeling too well in the stomach a while back too. It was better for them to take good care of their health! Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they passed on any bad genes to their child.
Not long after, Brendan stopped the car in front of a family restaurant, Brendan took Naomi by the hand and led her out of the car. He was like a different man from that person who used to keep his distance. from her when they were in public.
“Nice to see you, Mr. Ludwig.”
“Welcome, Mr. Ludwig.”
Brendan was a regular. The restaurant’s staff members welcomed him warmly the moment he stepped in. The restaurant’s owner, Peter Dyer, heard that Brendan had come. He, too, hurried out to welcome him.
“Welcome, Mr. Ludwig.”
He noticed that Brendan was here with a partner. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Ludwig, this is…?”
