Chapter 4

When they saw it was Naomi, Brendan’s facial expression became sullen

Π

Chloe was surprised for a moment before standing up freen the chair and greeting her with a smile on her face, “Naomi,” When she saw the kanchbox that Naomi was holding, she grinned, “You must be here to send Brendan his lunch, right?” Then she turned to look at Brendan and said, “Smce Naomi has brought you your lunch, Brendan, we don’t need to eat outside. It’s rare for Naomi to come here to the company, you should keep her company,”

Chloe was so understanding and reasonable as it she was Brendan’s wife and the lady boss of the Ludwig Corporation. Even Brendan eating the lunch that Naomi brought him, was a chance Chloe offered her.

Naomi looked at Chloe and stated nonchalantly, “You can either ask Brendan to turn against his dad and get a divorce, Chloe, or you can throw the evidence of the two of you in my face. Who are you trying to disgust by being so sarcastle all the time?”

But Chloe was always so enigmatic that Naomi held her in contempt.

Nani’s disdain made Chloe explain embarrassedly, “Brendan and I are not what you think, Naomi. We’re just discussing work.”

When she was done explaining, the light in her eyes became dimmer. “Take your time. I’ll leave first.”

When the door was closed, Naomi walked to the office desk and put the lunchbox on the desk. She pulled the chair that was across from Brendan and sat down like nothing happened. “Mom asked me to bring you your lunch.”

Brendan threw the documents that he was holding on the desk and asked trostily, “Can’t you take initiative by yourself, Naomi?”

The action of Brendan throwing the documents made Naomi stare at him silently.

He didn’t act like this when he was with Chloe.

As expected, he didn’t like her. So, no matter what she did or said, it would all be her wrong. Even if she was just delivering his lunch, even if she was just being alive, even if she was just breathing, it was all her wrongs.

After staring at Brendan for a while, Naomi leaned back in the chair and replied tepidly, “When it comes to matters between us, I won’t have my own Initiative. Your parents‘ words are like imperial edicts to me; I can’t disobey them.”

Not only was Naomi unable disobey Brendan’s parents” words, she was even more afraid that her mother would burst into tears and tearfully tell her that

wasn’t easy to raise her, so she had to be better and more obedient

However, Samuel was quite nice to her,

When they got married, he set some rigid rules for Brendan. Brendan couldn’t be the one who brought up the divorce, he couldn’t do anything that hurt her feelings, and he had to try his best to make their marriage work Otherwise, he would have to leave the Ludwig family without getting a penny and Naomi would all the family properties.

Even if the two of them truly couldn’t get along, they should at least try it out for three years first.

Now, there was only another year left.

When Naomi saw that Brendan ignored her because of her retort, she got up and walked to the inner side of the desk. She picked up the lunchbox and Jork, and spoke sweetly like Chloe. “No one can live without food, Brendan. You should at least eat some of it.”

Brendan tilted his head to look at her. She winked at him and delivered a piece of ribs to his mouth.

Brendan was stunned when Naomi started acting coquettishly.

Somehow, he subconsciously opened his mouth.

But Naomi threw the lunchbox on the desk and snapped, “Fuck It, Chloe’s way really worked.”

Then, she threw the fork out heavily and hissed, “Eat it or leave it. Who wants to spoil you.”

So after leaving Brendan’s office, Naomi even purposely told Brendan’s secretary that Brendan already had lunch so she didn’t have to prepare anything

for him!!!

However,

after 9:00 pm,

she was woken up by Heather’s call again.

She said Brendan was dehydrated from diarrhea and was hospitalized

Naomi was shocked. She got up and got changed. Then she headed to the hospital.

When she reached the ward, Heather claimed that she was tired so Naomi asked Heather to go home.

When Naomi returned to the ward after seeing Heather out, Brendan looked up at her and said, “You’ve become braver, Naomi. You’re brave enough to drug me now.”

Naomi walked closer to him and pulled the quilt for him. “Don’t put it in such an unkind way. Married couples would normally use an aphrodisiac. Who would use Laxatives?”

“You want to deny it?” As he said that, Brendan threw his cell phone on the bed and a surveillance video of her walking into a drugstore was playing on it.

Then, he threw a sheet of drug purchase records in her face.

Naomi was caught with evidence. She looked at him and said nothing.

The two of them just looked at each other. Brendan was expecting Naomi to explain, instead, she suddenly said, “Don’t look at me like that, I’m scared that I won’t be able to control myself.”

“Naomil” Brendan’s face was sullen. He took one of the pillows beside him and threw it at her.

Naomi caught the pillow and replied calmly and rationally, “You’re the one making a racket all the time and driving me crazy. I’m not going too far for just wanting to drug you as a form of emotional recompense.”

After Brendan listened to her words, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her to him. Then he asked in a deep but sonorous voice, “Are you jealous, Naomi?” Brendan’s question shocked Naomi speechless for a while. Then she burst into laughter. “Don’t worry. I would rather eat shit than be jealous because of

YOU!!

Naomi’s hearty laughter made Brendan pull her even harder toward him.

Naomi’s torehead hit Brendan’s with a bang, and her nose hit his too, causing her to gasp from the pain,

Her brows knitted together. But before she could come back to her senses, Brendan suddenly pressed his lips against hers without anu t
