Chapter 246
1/2
Naomi switched on the lights and sat up in bed swiftly. When she saw that Brendan had gotten into bed without her knowledge, she was furious
She grabbed a nearby pillow and whacked him with it. “Brendan, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you make
some noise? Also, why are you staring at me instead of sleeping?
She hadn’t been scared by the thunder rumbling at midnight. However, she was terrified by his glare.
She would’ve been sent to her grave if not for her strong heart.
Brendan was confused as to why he was getting hit. He asked, “What kind of noises am I supposed to be
making in the middle of the night? Why can’t I look at you?”
He was staring at her because he had been startled awake by the thunder. He was in awe of Naomi’s quality of sleep. Thunder had boomed outside for a while, but she’d been fast asleep.
Naomi’s racing heart hadn’t calmed. She kicked him twice, exerting her anger at getting spooked onto him. “You’re so annoying. Didn’t you leave? Who asked you to turn around and come back?”
He hadn’t been in the room when she got out of the shower.
Brendan grabbed her foot and threw it aside. “Who told you I’d left?”
Naomi rolled her eyes at him and kicked him again. Then, she got up to pour some water.
Brendan smiled slightly at Naomi’s fiery temper. This version of her seemed more like the one from their
past.
At this moment, a boom echoed outside yet again. Brendan turned to look out the window, but Naomi remained motionless, as though she wasn’t even in the same dimension as him.
After a while, Brendan resumed watching her once she finished her water and got back into bed.
Naomi felt goosebumps tingle in her arms. She asked, “Why are you looking at me instead of sleeping?”
Brendan replied, “It’s thundering outside.”
Naomi wrapped her blankets tighter around herself and mocked, “Are you scared?”
Brendan was equally tickled and enraged at how she tightened her cocoon of blankets. He pulled them downward and questioned, “Naomi, why aren’t you afraid of anything?”
When thunder boomed just now, Brendan had recalled the soap operas he’d watched with Heather.
During times like these, the female lead would be terrified. She would dive into the male lead’s arms,
craving his protection.
Why did Naomi’s actions deviate from the script? She was completely unaffected by the lightning and thunder.
Earlier, he’d received a scolding from Heather. He wanted to repair their relationship.

Actually, even if Heather hadn’t done so, he’d been looking for a point of breakthrough to smooth out the tense situation.
However, when he came back at night, he couldn’t put down his ego to do so at Naomi’s impassionate attitude.
After all, Naomi used to be the one doing so in the past.
At Brendan’s question, Naomi grinned amusedly. Then, she cozied up to him and said in an imitation of Chloe’s tone, “Brendan, the thunder is so scary! I’m terrified.”
Brendan was ecstatic. Before he had the time to react, Naomi regained her lazy demeanor. She backed
away and said through a yawn, “Brendan, you’ve watched too many soap operas with your mom!”
It was just a few booms of thunder. It was basically nothing.
Brendan was silent.
He thought that an opportunity to apologize had presented itself to him. It turned out that she’d merely been acting to make fun of him.
When they made eye contact, Naomi saw that Brendan was still staring at her. She yawned and ordered,
Go to sleep.
Once she finished speaking, she turned away from Brendan. However, he pulled her into his arms. Naomi immediately snapped to attention. Her eyes widened, and she asked, “What are you trying to do?”
She had barely finished her question before Brendan interlocked their fingers and kissed her.
Naomi flailed her arms and struggled, but she was no match for him.
His arms were powerful. When he pressed his body on hers, it felt as though thousand–pound rocks were weighing down on her hands.
His kiss was ferocious, like the wind beating at their window. It left her breathless.
