Chapter 142
After Naomi finished speaking, she couldn’t be bothered to eat breakfast at home as it was getting late.
She took the car keys and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing that, Brendan said tonelessly, “I’ll take you there.”
He pushed her into the car after he spoke, not caring whether Naomi wanted him to do so.
Halfway through their journey, he even bought Naomi breakfast. It was South Lake Restaurant’s special breakfast set, which included porridge, buns, and other small cakes. It was suitable for those with gastrointestinal problems.
Naomi accepted the breakfast Brendan stuffed into her hands. She smiled while thanking him.
However, Naomi did not start eating immediately. It was only because of Brendan’s reminder that she decided to take her breakfast with her after arriving at the law firm.
“Naomi, you’re finally here.” Ronald jumped out at her as she arrived in front of the building.
Naomi asked, “Why are you here?”
Ronald responded, “I was scared you wouldn’t eat breakfast, so I got some for you.”
During Naomi’s stay at South Lake a few days ago, Ronald picked her up and got her breakfast daily.
After all, Brendan was there to run the company. He just needed to kick back and wait for his salary and bonuses to be banked into his account.
Naomi shook the breakfast in her hands. “Brendan brought some for me.”
Upon seeing that, Ronald exchanged Brendan’s breakfast with the one he bought. “If you eat what he bought, you’ll be indebted to him. Have mine instead.”
As he was speaking, he took a bun and gobbled it down.
Naomi saw that Ronald bought enough breakfast for both of them, so she took the breakfast that Brendan bought for her and tossed it into a nearby bin. She’d rather not eat it if she would be indebted to
Brendan.
This business trip to Belvoria caused Naomi’s tolerance toward Brendan to disintegrate.
She was waiting for an opportunity how.
Brendan’s car was still parked on the opposite road. When he saw Naomi throw the breakfast he bought into the trash, his expression darkened. He stepped on the gas and sped off.
In the past, it was always Naomi who pacified him regardless of the tantrums he threw.
Now, their positions have switched. Naomi didn’t care for him anymore.
In the law firm, Naomi munched on a bun while she said, “I don’t have a car today, so you will need to drive me to the prison later.”
Chapter 142
Ronald swallowed an entire bun in one go. “No problem!”
After they finished speaking, Naomi punched in her code at the law firm. Ronald then drove her to prison.
Inside the visitation room, Naomi looked at the tall but skinny kid and handed him some food. “Have you had breakfast? Eat something first.”
The boy didn’t reach his hand to take what Naomi offered. He said politely, “Thank you, Ms. Goodwin.”
Naomi had met him a few times. The words he said to her the most were those of gratitude.
Every time they met, Naomi couldn’t imagine him killing anyone, let alone three people.
Naomi saw that he was being distant, so she didn’t try to coax him into eating.
Then, she said, “I went to your old house last week and obtained useful information from the people around you. I’m here to talk to you about your court hearing.
“Even if you meet someone you don’t want to see and get asked about your past, you mustn’t be angry. You only need to recount the truth and your motives. Leave everything else to me. I will do
my best.”
She couldn’t help but squeeze his cuffed hands as she spoke to give him support.
“I’ll follow your instructions, Ms. Goodwin.” The boy looked at Naomi with determination.
They chatted for a while more while Naomi gave him further encouragement. She only stood visitation time was over.

After Naomi said her goodbyes to the boy, she turned to leave. The boy suddenly stopped her. “Ms. Goodwin.”
