Chapter 138
Naomi snorted, “Do you think take me for a fool? You reminisce about Sophia right in front of me. And you were also repulsed by the idea of me helping you out of the car.
“Yet when Chloe called, you immediately rushed to her overnight. If you’re that disgusted by me, I’ll leave! So why are you here looking for me?
“What the fuck do you want? You’d better make it clear today. What proof do you want from me? I’ll even
act it out for you.”
Tired from a long day outside and with her stomach not completely well, Naomi was genuinely annoyed by these trivial matters. She had distanced herself, so why did Brendan come looking for her?
Just because he wasn’t tired doesn’t mean she wasn’t exhausted.
Naomi wasn’t planning to argue with Brendan, but he had gone too far.
Hearing Naomi mention Sophia and Chloe, Brendan stuffed his hands back into his pockets and fell
silent. He glanced at Naomi after a while. “Naomi, you’re being unreasonable.”
Naomi couldn’t believe her ears. “Fine, you’re right. I’m unreasonable and can’t see the bigger picture. So
go look for other women. I am done!”
Brendan’s expression was a sight to behold.
Seeing he was still blocking her, Naomi pushed him aside. “Don’t ever come here again. Explain this to
your family yourself.”
For over two years, whenever Brendan caused trouble, Naomi always sorted things out at home and explained them herself.
Seeing how serious Naomi was by insisting on not returning with him, Brendan couldn’t be bothered arguing with her. He grabbed the back of her neck and swiftly shoved her into the lift.
Naomi wasn’t going down without a fight and pushed Brendan away, trying to press the lift button. But
Brendan stopped her.
“That’s enough. Are you really planning on staying here forever?”
While the lift descended, Naomi hit Brendan with her bag a few times. “Holy shit, Brendan! Why are your winding me up this late at night?”
She was exhausted, and her stomach hurt.
Brendan didn’t retaliate. He just held the back of her neck and pulled her to stand beside him.
After a while, when the doors opened, he pushed Naomi out of the lift. Naomi stumbled but quickly regained her balance. She turned to look at him.
“Brendan, I’m finally willing to let you go. Don’t waste your opportunity. Or you’d better not complain when I change my mind and push you to have a child with me.”
Chapter 138
Brendan felt speechless. Naomi never held back when it came to yelling at him.
Brendan held the back of her neck and led her to the parking lot. “Fine, we’ll have as many babies as your
want.”
Naomi retorted, “You’d better not eat your words.”
When the two returned to Yellowind Bay, Naomi took advantage of Brendan going to the study by locking the door to the master bedroom.
When Brendan realized the door was locked, his mood soured as he twisted the doorknob aggressively.” Unlock the damn door, Naomi!”
Inside the room, Naomi was sprawled out under the blanket, completely ignoring Brendan.
She was sure Brendan wouldn’t want to have children with her. And even if he did, she wasn’t in the mood.
They could continue their little fight! He couldn’t possibly outlast her. Sooner or later, he would have to bring up a divorce. Even if he didn’t, she would.
However, she was busy with Charles‘ case lately and had no energy to argue with him.
Wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, Naomi ignored Brendan’s knocking outside. She pretended not to hear him and soon fell asleep.
But:
she hadn’t eaten throughout the day and woke up with a grumbling stomach. She lay still on the bed, not wanting to get out of bed.
But her grumbling stomach was a problem, keeping her from falling back asleep.
After tossing and turning in bed, Naomi suddenly sat up. She decided to go eat something after all.
As she opened the door, she saw someone leaning against the door across from her with crossed arms. Naomi immediately jolted awake at the sight and stumbled back unconsciously.
