Chapter 263

Brendan stepped backward unconsciously. He opened the door to its widest. Light flooded the corridor. When Chloe saw that there was someone beside Brendan, her expression changed.

She stopped crying immediately. She stared at Naomi in surprise and greeted her, Naomi.”

Chloe couldn’t figure out why Brendan had brought Naomi with him or why the latter had even agreed to come.

Naomi made a noise of acknowledgment. She looked into their house. It was

extremely messy. They didn’t have much furniture in the first place, and what little they did have was in smithereens.

When Chloe saw Naomi, she felt uncomfortable. However, she still asked politely,” Brendan, Naomi, why don’t you come in?”

If Brendan had come alone, she would’ve pulled him in right away.

Brendan was silent. Naomi responded generously, “Since we’re already here, let’s go in and take a look.”

Chloe stood aside to let them in. Brendan held Naomi’s hand and led her into the house.

Chloe said embarrassedly, “After my dad left, my mom couldn’t accept it. She throws tantrums sometimes. I’m sorry you had to see that, Naomi.”

Chloe only apologized to Naomi but not Brendan, as though Brendan were one of them.

Naomi asked, “The culprit hasn’t been found?”

Chloe replied, “Jason found him a few days ago. He’s been sent to jail.” She looked at Brendan and continued, “I have Brendan to thank for this. If not, we wouldn’t have found the perpetrator.”

Naomi looked at Chloe. Indeed, she was in bad shape.

Brendan said that Chloe had once saved his life. With that personality of his, he

wouldn’t let his savior live like this unless Chloe had refused to accept his kindness.

Perhaps she wanted to play the long game and use her predicament to earn his pity.

If a man felt both sympathy and compassion for a woman, he wouldn’t be able to

part ways with her. This was also why Brendan had kept Chloe as his secretary.

It wasn’t only because she looked similar to Sophia. She was also very pitiful.

Naomi looked around their house. When she gazed at Chloe, she saw her hide her

diamond necklace in her clothes.

In reality, if she hadn’t done so, Naomi would’ve forgotten about the thing with the

necklace. She hadn’t even noticed it. However, Chloe’s actions reminded Naomi of what happened.

Naomi couldn’t help but smirk internally. This woman had too many schemes.

“Brendan, Brendan!”

As they sank into silence, Caleb ran out of his room suddenly. There was a plaster on

his forehead.

He ran over to take Brendan’s hand. He said, “Brendan, my mom went crazy today.

She destroyed everything at home and hurt my forehead. She even hit my sister.

“She only fell asleep after Chloe made her take some medicine.”

After Caleb finished speaking, he realized there was someone beside Brendan. A

woman, even.

He was instantly alert. He hid behind Brendan and asked, “Who is she?”

Brendan answered, “She’s my wife, Naomi.”

Caleb looked at Naomi warily. He didn’t greet her.

Naomi didn’t care.

Caleb took Brendan’s arm after staring at Naomi for a while. “Brendan, I have some

math questions I can’t understand. Can you teach me?”

Brendan listened to him but looked toward Naomi.
