Chapter 282

Naomi had her back against Brendan. She kept her eyes closed and ignored him.

Upon seeing that, Brendan put down the book in his hands. He pulled the covers away from her and rolled her into his arms.

“Are you turning your back on me after you got what you wanted, Naomi? You went to ask Ronald for help instead of coming to me. Was that reasonable of you?”

Although he’d been sulking earlier, couldn’t she just cajole him a little more?

If only she had done so, he would have definitely let it go.

Naomi was pleased to hear him questioning her out of jealousy. She turned around and caught him in her arms instead. She intertwined her fingers with his.

Brendan gulped. He was fired up. He used his legs to part hers and sat her down on

him.

Naomi had a grin on her face. She lowered her body and gave him a kiss.

As he got down to business, Naomi reminded him, “Be gentle, alright?”

Brendan chuckled. “Why, are you afraid? Didn’t you use to be afraid of not being

satisfied?”

“There was no such thing. Go easy on me, Brendan,”

He was being very gentle in the first place. However, he became even more delicate

with her after her reminder.

After they were done, Naomi lay still in his arms, feeling exhausted. Brendan hugged

her closer. “Naomi, no matter what you face, I hope that I will be the first person you

think of in the future.”

Even though Ronald was his cousin, he was still quite bothered by it. He was also

rather envious of the close relationship between Ronald and Naomi.

Naomi didn’t budge of reply to him.

Brendan glanced down at her. When he noticed that he wasn’t getting any response,

he reached out his right hand to grope at her waist.

Instantly, Naomi spoke up. “I’ll come to you next time. I’ll come to you no matter what.

They had kept themselves busy for such a long time earlier. It would be too much for her if they had another go at it.

Naomi had given her promise, so Brendan simply went to sleep with her in his arms.

Without him even realizing it, his demands toward Naomi had grown. He also hoped for her to rely on him.

While Naomi was snuggled in his arms, she couldn’t help but think of that white

Maserati.

Two days later, Naomi was working on the closing statement for a case when

Melanie called.

First and foremost, she shared the good news that Jessica had regained consciousness. The doctor had said that she had gotten through the critical stage.

Jessica was also very grateful to Naomi. She now wanted to proceed with her divorce with Ivan. After she was discharged, she planned to spend more time with Kelly and Marshall.

Naomi explained to her that the divorce procedures weren’t too complicated. All she had to do was get Ivan to sign the papers. If he was unwilling to do so, the court

would issue the divorce order.

It didn’t matter if it was because of domestic abuse, adultery, murder, or Ivan’s

necrospermia. The court would certainly grant their divorce.

Melanie expressed her wish to accompany Naomi to prison. Naomi agreed.

However, when they arrived at the prison’s entrance, Melanie started shaking all over. She clenched her fists out of nervousness. As such, Naomi didn’t allow Melanie

to go in with her.

Ivan had caused enormous harm to the four Coleman family members. They would

Naomi believed that it was better to avoid people like this. It wasn’t necessary to get

her emotions disturbed because of him.

“Will you be okay on your own, Naomi?”

“Don’t worry. I’m a lawyer. I’ve been through these kinds of situations many times.”

Thank you, Naomi.”

The tremors in her hands hadn’t stopped. Initially, she had wanted to acCOMPANY Naomi However, she was too weak at heart and was unable to stop herself from trembling

Naomi was the first to arrive at the visitation reem. Ivan, in his prison uniform, was escorted into the room by a prison warden. His face fell when he entered the room.

He gazed at Naomi as if she were the reason that he’d ended up in this situation. There wasn’t an ounce of remorse in his eyes.

The warden cuffed Ivan to the chair. Then, Ivan looked at Haomi and scoffed, “What are you here for? Are you here to mock me on behalf of the Colemans?”

Naomi ignored him. She pushed the divorce agreement toward him and instructed,” Jessica has regained consciousness. She wants to get a divorce. This is for you to sign.”

After hearing that Jessica wanted to divorce him, he jeered, “So, now that I’m in prison, she wants to get a divorce? Does she want to elope with another man? Goodwin, please pass this message to Jessica,

“Tell her that she can forget about it. She will not be getting this divorce, even if t have to serve a lifetime sentence,

“So, she can forget about getting remarried. If she has the guts to cheat on me, tell her that she and her family better beware.”

Naomi stared straight at lven without saying a word.

This was what men were like. It was human nature.

When Ivan had wanted to climb toward success, he didn’t hesitate to trample on Jessica. When he had to go through a rough patch, he wanted her to suffer with him.

He wasn’t going to suffer alone. He needed to have someone will

Naomi stared at Ivan coldly. After a while, she spoke up in a calm voice, “Ivan, even if you don’t sign this, the court will grant the divorce nonetheless.

“That said, this will count as unwillingness to cooperate with the legal work. Plus, you are causing trouble for the court. In the future, you will have no hope of having your sentence reduced.”

Ivan was uneducated about how the law worked. Thus, Naomi figured that she could just come up with some garbage. He wouldn’t know it anyway.

At that, Ivan’s face became twisted. He was a P.E. teacher. He had no idea whether Naomi’s claims were true or false.

Nevertheless, when Nicholas had come to see him the day before, he’d been told to keep up good behavior in prison. He was told that it would help him in his appeal for a reduced sentence.

Ivan scrunched up his face. Naomi handed a pen to him and said, “It’s time for sign the papers.”

Ivan looked at the pen that Naomi had just handed to him. He was extremely reluctant to sign the papers.

He wished that he could keep Jessica hanging like this, so that she wouldn’t be able

to live a free life. He would be a thorn/in her side forever, and she would never be

able to get rid of him.

But the thought of getting a reduced sentence made him waver.

Naomi then said, “If you wish to harm others out of spite, so be it.”

Upon hearing that, Ivan picked up the signature pen with a frown on his face.

Naomi flipped the document to the page where he needed to sign. She tapped on

the spaces where his signatures were supposed to go. She urged, “Sign your name in these few places.”

Ivan tried to flip to the front pages of the document.

Naomi chuckled. She said, “Jessica does not want the residence that you both

shared. She doesn’t need you to return the deposit that you both paid initially. All you
