Chapter 42

When Brendan answered the call, Jackson’s serious tone came through. “Brendan, are you with Naomi right now? The both of you had better come back right away!”

Brendan didn’t reply. Instead, he snappe

the phone shut and tossed it aside.

Naomi asked, “Was that Grandpa on the phone? Are we supposed to head back to Yellowind Bay?”

Given tonight’s events, it was certain that the Sabella family would file a complaint.

Brendan nodded. Bailey asked worriedly. “Naomi, is everything okay?”

Naomi smiled and responded, “If everything’s fine in the Sabella house, why would anything happen at our own place?” She then looked at Brendan, who was looking ahead, and asked, “Right, Brendan?”

“Yeah.” Brendan’s simple affirmation was remarkably reassuring.

After dropping Bailey off, they went straight to Yellowind Bay. Upon entering the courtyard, they saw that all the elders, including Dennis, Christine, and Ronald’s parents, had gathered there.

As Brendan and Naomi stepped into the house, Jackson slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, How dare you go to someone else’s house to start a fight? How outrageous!”

Even in his anger, Jackson avoided mentioning Naomi’s name.

Brendan calmly stated, “It’s already done. We can’t change the past.”

Naomi glanced at Brendan, feeling that he was being surprisingly considerate tonight. It seemed as if there was no unpleasantness from that incident between them and that there had never been any silent. treatment between them over the past two years.

Naomi’s reason for going to the Sabella house had already been explained by Jason before Brendan and Naomi had returned. With Brendan’s stern statement, Jackson found it difficult to reprimand Naomi.

Sensing the tension, Heather tried to break the silence. “Dad, Naomi has always been righteous. Don’t you appreciate that about her? Plus, Madelyn is a big bully.

“She has always resented Brendan and Naomi getting together, so she took it out on Bailey, who is helpless. That’s why Naomi got angry./

“If it were me, I would be angry too.”

Jackson sighed. “I’m not saying that she isn’t righteous, but going to someone else’s house to start a fight is indeed inappropriate.”

Heather added indifferently, “The past is in the past. Otherwise, do you want Madelyn to fight back? Even if you agree, I doubt she would dare to make a move. She’s no match for Naomi.”

Heather seemed proud when she talked about how formidable Naomi was in a fight. Moreover, when Madelyn had attacked Bailey, she should have expected the possible consequences.

With Heather’s intervention, Jackson found himself helpless. He turned to Brendan and urged, “Brendan, your wife was the one who started the fight. Say something!”

Jackson was hinting at Brendan to lecture Naomi, to symbolically show authority when responding to the

Sabella family.

However, Brendan looked at Naomi and asked, “Does your hand hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Everyone present was left dumbfounded. Jackson was especially speechless.

With Heather and Brendan protecting her, he had no right to lecture Naomi.

Finally, with a helpless sigh, he stood up from his chair and murmured, “I’m getting old. I can’t manage you guys. I won’t interfere anymore. Deal with it yourselves!”

After saying this, he looked at Dennis and Christine and ordered, “Dennis, Christine, Naomi is your daughter, so you should educate her.”

Dennis and Christine hastily agreed, “Mr. Ludwig Senior, don’t you worry, we’ll definitely give her a lecture later. She won’t act so recklessly again.”

After Jackson left, the elders from the Ludwig family began consoling Naomi.

“Naomi, it’s not a big deal. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Yes, it’s just a fight. After all, they were the ones who initiated it.”

“You were fine at the Sabella house, right? Did you get hurt?”
