“Yes.” Brendan hummed.

Naomi retorted, “You’re a jerk, Brendan. You didn’t come home when I was in Ashburgh. But the moment I’m away on a business trip, you decide to drive all the way here. What were you thinking?”

She was touched by how Brendan dealt with Tom a few days ago. At least she was, until he up and left without a warning.

She didn’t think much about it and just did whatever she needed to do. Yet, Brendan was here inside her hotel room.

Seeing Naomi scolding him, Brendan suddenly looked up. Naomi Immediately raised both her hands. Fine, I’ll stop.”

Brendan muttered, “I didn’t bring any luggage, so give me your towel.”

Naomi was a clean freak, and he knew she always came prepared. Naomi showed a hint of disgust but still handed over her toiletries.

Although they hadn’t officially confirmed their relationship, they were quite familiar with each other. And Brendan had a habit of borrowing her things even before they got married.

Within no time, Brendan came out of the showers just as Naomi returned from outside.

Seeing Brendan in only a towel while drying his hair with her towel, Naomi placed the bag she was. carrying on the table.

“There’s cold medicine and anti–inflammatory pills here. Take whatever you need.”

Looking at the medicines Naomi bought, Brendan’s expression shifted. “Why did you go out this late at night? Have you forgotten what happened a few nights ago?”

Seeing Brendan’s sudden change in mood, Naomi also grew upset. “Maybe because I’m stupid.”

Brendan fell silent at this. Couldn’t Naomi tell what his intentions were?

Under Brendan’s cold gaze, Naomi sighed helplessly. “I can’t just let you go back sick after you came all the way here! The pharmacy is just next door. Don’t worry!”

That night, when Brendan was beating the living shit out of Tom. Naomi thought they were growing closer. Yet he just had to go missing the next day.

Naomi didn’t want to overthink it. Perhaps he was angry that night because he was reminded of Sophia since she had also experienced similar situations. Maybe Brendan had mistaken her for Sophia.

Hearing Naomi’s explanation, Brendan didn’t have the heart to get angry. However, he felt another layer was added to the wall between them.

Naomi seemed warm and outgoing on the surface and got along well with everyone. But it wasnt easy to

win her heart

Brendan’s gaze softened as he continued to dry his hair. Naomi let out a sigh and turned to go to the

bathroom.

Just then, Brendan’s phone rang. It was a call from work.

He tossed the towel aside and walked over to the window to answer it.

Ten minutes later, after finishing the call, he turned around and saw Naomi still in the bathroom. Seeing the bathroom door was slightly ajar, he went straight over.

When he approached and looked inside, he saw Naomi washing her clothes by hand at the sink.

For a moment, Brendan was stunned. He stared at Naomi for a while before walking up behind her and pulling her into his embrace.

Seeing this, Naomi looked up at the mirror in front of her.

Feeling Brendan’s embrace, she quickly dropped the clothes from her hands and turned on the faucet to rinse her hands. “Since the call is over, wash your own clothes.”

Brendan swiftly grabbed her arms and placed them around him. He then tilted Naomi’s chin, promptly capturing her lips with his.
