Chapter 191

“Will do, Mr. Ludwig,” Jason accepted Brendan’s Instruction without objection.

Deep down, however, he couldn’t wrap his head around it. Wasn’t Brendan in a terrific mood today? Plus,

he had been smiling from ear to ear all day.

Why did he become unhappy all of a sudden? Surely it had something to do with Naomi.

He had been working for Brendan for years. On the surface, Brendan looked like he didn’t care about

Naomi and wasn’t concerned for her.

But he would prioritize her whenever he caught any whiff of trouble that befell upon her. Jason knew this

better than anyone.

He was not at all as stoic as he made himself appear to be.

20 minutes later, their car stopped in the compound of Yellowind Bay. Brendan got out of the car. He slipped his hands into his pockets and put on a cold expression before entering the house.

At the time, Naomi was chatting with Heather in the living room.

Naomi said that Heather was only getting in the way of Brendan’s work by calling him earlier. Heather, on

the other hand, had differing opinions.

She said that women should not be too straightforward. Women should not give men too much reassurance. They needed to pave the way for their man to keep their man in control.

Upon entering the house, Brendan noticed that Naomi was playing with a cat. He tugged at his necktie.

He looked toward Heather and asked, “Has Naomi been bad?”

Right after he said that, Naomi grabbed the cushion that was next to her and flung it at him. “Are your saying that you rushed back to catch me in the act?”

Immediately after, she added, “Shall I create some evidence for you?”

Brendan caught the cushion that Naomi hurled at him. He continued walking toward her. He tilted chin up

to make her look at him.

“Let me hear what Mom has to say. I’ll settle this with you later.”

Heather perceived Brendan’s arrogance. She lifted her hand and gave Brendan two smacks. “Is that how you treat your wife? This way, some other man will steal her away sooner or later.”

Brendan remained expressionless in the face of Heather’s complaints. He rolled up the legs of his pants

and sat by the side,

He chuckled, “It sounds like you met someone who knows how to care for his wife today, Mom. Come,

tell

more so that I can learn a thing or two.”

Brendan remained seated by the side quietly. Heather was pumped up. She spoke up animatedly,”

Maximus is quite an unrestrained man. Not only did he dare to…”

Following that, Heather relayed everything about their coincidental meeting with Maximus to Brendan. She detailed everything from how he invited them for dinner, how he pulled the chair out for Naomi, to

how he was attentive to Naomi.

She even didn’t forget to include some exaggerations on numerous occasions.

Naomi handed the cat, which Heather had brought over, to Jennifer. She then grabbed a handful of peanuts and snacked on them mindlessly.

Naomi listened in to Heather as she told Brendan about her and Maximus. Heather passed on the

information as if she was telling a story.

Naomi, on the other hand, looked calm and relaxed. She listened as if she was listening to someone

else’s story.

At the same time, the expressions on Brendan’s face were dynamic. Naomi felt like she was watching a performance.

Naomi noticed that Heather had been talking for a while. Hence, she handed a cup of water to her.

Heather took a mouthful of water and said, “I’m not trying to nag at you, Brendan. Indeed, you are not great at being loving to your wife and caring for her.

“This is something that you still need to learn. Otherwise, how could a woman guarantee that she won’t falter when another man treats them well?”

Brendan yanked at his necktie. He smiled and responded with a question, “Is that so?”

The both of them had just consummated their relationship last night. Today, she encountered a suitor. She was charming and brazen indeed.

Afterward, Brendan turned toward Jennifer and asked coldly, ‘Is supper ready, Jennifer?”

“All’s ready, Mr. Ludwig.”

Once he heard Jennifer’s reply, he turned and directed his gaze at Naomi,
