Chapter 232
Naomi glanced at Brendan. “I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather since my period came.”
Brendan chuckled. “It’ll pass. Then, I’ll reward you after that.”
Naomi stared wordlessly at Brendan’s indifferent demeanor. After locking eyes for a moment, she squinted at him. “Brendan, are you hiding something from me?”
Brendan sat on the edge of the bed and returned Naomi’s gaze. He then stood up and loosened his tie, taking off his jacket to hang it on the coat rack. “What are you talking about?”
Of course, he and Naomi had their own secrets.
Naomi’s silence grew at Brendan’s answer.
Since he said so, she didn’t expect to find out anything by asking. She had better investigate on her own!
Brendan noticed Naomi was ignoring him and asked, “Have you eaten?”
Naomi replied without looking at him. “I’m not hungry.”
Strictly speaking, she didn’t have the mood for it. She had thought that she might be pregnant. But after the check–up, it turned out to be wishful thinking. She felt that she was on the losing end.
Seeing this, Brendan walked to the side she was facing and bent down. He leaned closer to her. “You didn’t use to have such a bad temper during your period.”
Naomi raised her gaze. “You’ve only been coming back recently. How would you know what I was like before?”
With that, she turned around again, leaving her back to him.
Brendan decided to let her be for now. He changed into another set of clothes and went to the study next
door.
When they went to bed that night, Naomi’s mood was still bad.. When Brendan hugged her, she didn’t respond as enthusiastically as before and even seemed reluctant.
This went on for the next few days until Naomi’s period ended. After that, Naomi responded with a bit
more enthusiasm when Brendan hugged her. She even agreed to try out new positions with him”
After two hours, Brendan lay in bed to catch a breather before saying he would fetch some water to clean
up. Naomi immediately sat up. “I feel sticky all over. I’m going to take a shower.”
Brendan also sat up. But before he could continue, Naomi stopped him. “You’re not allowed to join me in
the shower.”
With that, she hurried to the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Brendan glanced at the bathroom door and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Naomi was back to her usual self.
In the bathroom, Naomi placed the sample in a box and stepped into the shower

After showering, Brendan held her in his arms as soon as she returned to bed. Naomi didn’t refuse, falling asleep nestled in his embrace.
The next morning, Brendan dropped her off at the law firm. Naomi asked Michael for a two–hour leave
and went to the hospital.
