Chapter 209
Naomi couldn’t believe her ears. A pledge?
She observed Brendan closely. Seeing that he wouldn’t let Ronald off unless she wrote the pledge, Naomi uncrossed her arms and slowly walked over. “Fine, I’ll write it.”
She could write as many pledges as Brendan wanted. They were adults, so who cared about some stupid words on paper?
After hastily jotting down that she wouldn’t visit another massage parlor, Naomi handed the paper to Brendan. He glanced at it and growled, “Add that you won’t look at other men.”
Naomi gritted her teeth and added that, along with a few more promises of loyalty to him. Brendan. thought her sincerity was decent enough and had someone to officiate the pledge.
Bailey gave Naomi a look of sympathy. She didn’t get a read on Brendan at all. But it seemed like he was starting to care about Naomi. His reaction hinted that he was extremely jealous.
After folding Naomi’s pledge and putting it in his suit pocket, Brendan signaled to John, who then instructed the men attending to Ronald to stop.
Ronald cried even harder when they stopped, trembling as he reached out to Naomi. “Naomi…”
What sins had he committed? Why was he always getting punished by Brendan? He was beginning to suspect Brendan wasn’t part of the Ludwig family because of his cruelty.
Ronald was willing to bet that Brendan’s heart was as dark as coal.
Seeing Ronald’s misery, Naomi comfortingly squeezed his hand. But Brendan’s cold gaze made Ronald quickly withdraw his hand.
Even after John left with the men, Ronald was still crying on the massage table as if the men had wronged him.
Bailey gave him a look of pity. “Can you get up, Ronald? I’ll take you home.”
Ronald sobbed, “I’ll try.”
With that, he weakly placed his feet on the ground. But he didn’t get far and immediately fell to the ground.
Naomi and Bailey frowned at this, truly empathizing with him. They went up to help Ronald up, only to hear Brendan’s warning again. “Try touching him again, Naomi.”
Hearing this, Ronald flinched away from Naomi and held onto Bailey tightly. “I’m fine, Naomi. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Inwardly, Ronald found Brendan to be rather stupid. The next time Brendan was gone, Ronald planned to hug Naomi tightly and even lay next to her in bed.
Seeing Brendan threatening Ronald, Naomi turned and kicked him. Brendan was unimpressed, raising his
hand to grab her by the back of her neck. “Il settle the score with you later.”

With that, he grabbed Naomi’s neck and headed toward the door.
Naomi protested, “I haven’t changed my clothes yet.”
Brendan retorted, “You have the guts to visit a massage parlor. Yet you’re afraid of people seeing you in
those clothes?”
Naomi sighed to herself.

After sending Brendan and Naomi off, Ronald wondered if Naomi would another massage parlor again. Never mind that he wouldn’t do it anyway.
A while later, Naomi was shoved into the passenger seat by Brendan. Bailey had also helped Ronald out. She waved goodbye to Naomi before driving off with Ronald.
As the car started moving, Ronald cursed, “How dare you, Brendan! Damn you and your entire family!! swear I will find a man for Naomi! I’ll even help her cheat!”
Bailey gripped the steering wheel tightly and chuckled. “Doesn’t that mean you’re cursing your family too?”
Then, she added, “I’ll support you either way.”
Still seething with anger, Ronald thought it over and realized he was just cursing himself. He couldn’t be bothered to continue and just groaned in pain.
In the Maybach, Naomi noticed Brendan still looked angry even after he tortured Ronald and got her to
