Chapter 266

Naomi propped her elbow on the window and put her hand in her palm. She replied to his question, “I’m not thinking about anything.”

There were still uncrossable distances between her and Brendan. They couldn’t go back to the past, even if they both pretended that everything was alright.

Brendan never talked to her about their past. Naomi didn’t want to mention it either. In addition, discussing her husband’s dead first love with him was a stupid thing to

She would be reducing her importance and heightened Sophia’s place in his heart. In addition, she’d make him recall his past memories.

Brendan said, “I shouldn’t have brought you over.”

Naomi smiled and looked at him. “You’re so unwilling to let me participate in your life?

Brendan said, “You know that’s not what I mean.”

Naomi smiled and said nothing.

After a while, they returned home. Jennifer said excitedly, “You are back! Dinner is ready. I’ve tried the ribs that Mr. Ludwig prepared. They’re great.”

Naomi yawned and said, “Jennifer, I’m not hungry. You guys eat.”

Jennifer fidgeted in her apron and asked, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Ludwig? Why don’t you want to eat anymore after going out?”

Brendan responded, “I’ll come down later.”

Naomi was unhappy. Brendan could tell. However, he would be unhappy as well if

she’d taken him to Maximus‘ house.

When she returned to the bedroom, Naomi took her clothes and went to the

bathroom. She washed her face with warm water and felt unspeakably down.

When she got out of the shower, Brendan put down the documents he was

reviewing. He said, “Go downstairs and eat something.”

Naomi rubbed at her hair while replying, “I’m not in the mood,”

Following that, she put a hand on her stomach and said, “Maybe I’m pregnant? You haven’t been taking contraceptives recently, have you?”

Naomi had behaved like this from a young age. When she didn’t want to discuss the topic at hand, she would pull a bunch of nonsense out of her ass.

Brendan’s heart skipped a beat as he paused at Naomi’s words. He said uncertainly,” I don’t think it’s that fast. We should go to the hospital tomorrow for a check–up.”

At Brendan’s anxious expression, Naomi burst into laughter and said, “I’m just

kidding. Don’t take it so literally.”

However, based on Brendan’s reaction, he probably hadn’t taken contraceptive

measures for the last few days.

When Brendan heard her words, his expression changed. He put his right hand on the back of her neck and tugged her forward to kiss her.

Sometimes, he really wanted to take a needle and sew that mouth of hers.

After a passionate kiss, Naomi still couldn’t help but giggle at Brendan’s reaction.

Brendan caressed her face and said, “Go down to eat.”

Naomi yawned and said, “I’m not hungry.”

Brendan replied, “You should still try the ribs I made. Aren’t you grateful for what I’ve done for you today?”

He had indeed sent people to wreck Ivan’s car. If Naomi hadn’t forbidden him from interfering in her work, he would’ve finished Ivan off. He wouldn’t wait for the law to

sanction Ivan.

Since Brendan had tried so hard to convince her, Naomi went downstairs with him.

She wasn’t hungry, but she tried the ribs Brendan had prepared. Indeed, they were

well done.
