Chapter 7

The bar was dark and noisy, with the chatter of both men and women mixed with the loud music.

Before Naomi could respond, the girl continued, “Brendan didn’t go back home again tonight. He must be with another woman!”

Bailey put her hands in her pockets and chuckled, “Madelyn, are you also here to drown your sorrows on this late night? But come to really should drown your sorrows, Brendan keeps changing his lover. It’s been two years, and it’s still not your turn.”

o think of it, you

“Bailey, you…” Madelyn’s Lace was red with anger. “So what? Do you really think Naomi is Brendan’s wife? Is she qualified to be Mrs. Ludvig? Why don’t you ask her to call Brendan ‘husband‘? Let’s see if Brendan will respond to her.”

The Sabella family had a better relationship with the Ludwig family in the first place. The elders of both families had been discussing her marriage to Brendan However, Naomi ended up marrying Brendan instead.

So, she had lost to Naomi many times, and it had caused her a lot of trouble. Today, how could she let this hard–to–get chance slip away when she finally

got it?

Bailey said, “I’m not sure if Brendan would respond to Naomi But I know for sure he wouldn’t respond to you if you called him.”

She then raised her eyebrows and added, “Madelyn, just accept that you’ve lost. There’s no need to stir up more problems now. Madelyn got annoyed and said, “I lost to her? What do you think she is? If Mr. Ludwig hadn’t been confused, she wouldn’t have married Brendan. And can she really keep him?

“Does Brendan treat her like a wife and respect her? They’ve been married for two years, but there’s still no wedding. How many women been with during this time? Does she not see that?

has Brendan

“This is Brendan’s protest against the marriage. He doesn’t like her. But she’s still shamelessly clinging on. If I were her, I would have jumped into the river long ago. She really doesn’t know her place.

ok like a tomboy.

you manners. You look

Bailey’s expression darkened. Madelyn went on, “And you, Balley, you never had a mom to teach you mann or a man? Do you even know?”

tomboy. Are you a woman

Naomi didn’t care about Madelyn’s ranting at first. But when Madelyn started insulting Bailey, Naomi picked up a full glass of wine from the table and, without a word, splashed it on Madelyn’s face.

“Madelyn, have you said enough?”

was Chloe who had challenged Naomi, she might have taken it seriously. After all, Chloe had managed to stay close to Brendan and even became his secretary.

But Madelyn? Who was she? Brenden had never shown any interest in her from the beginning. It was always the Sabella family trying to make a connection.

Naomi wouldn’t waste her time with someone at that level.

After getting drenched in wine by Naomi, Madelyn burst into anger. She grabbed her purse and threw it at Naomi. “Naomi, how dare you splash wine on mel”

Right after that, Naomi and Bailey got into a scuffle with Madelyn and her group of six girls.

Even though they were outnumbered, it didn’t take long for Naomi and Bailey to trounce Madelyn and her group.

After leaving the bar, Naomi took out her phone and made a call. “Mr. Lawson, I’m Naomi from Solaris Law Firm. I need to report an incident…

The man Naomi had called was the second in command in Josersey. Naomi helped him to handle his tricky divorce case, so he greatly appreciated her wisdom.

Half an hour later, when Naomi got home, news that Madelyn had been taken away by the police for causing trouble at the bar was already trending online

When Madelyn was in trouble, many people joined in to cause trouble for her. Suddenly, lots of her old classmates came online, telling stories about how she bullied them and even stole their boyfriends. Even saying that this kind of women belonged in jail.

Although the Sabella family quickly removed the trending topic and pot Madelyn out of

police station, she still got a good telling–off. When she tried to blame Naomi, she was just warned to stay away from Naomi and not interfere with her and Brendan’s matters. Naomi was angry at first, but after seeing Madelyn get a lesson, she felt a lot better.

As for her friendship with Bailey, it began 10 years ago.

At that time, they had just started the seventh grade. The incident they experienced was reason why Bailey became reserved and changed her image:

After taking a shower, Naomi was getting ready to go to bed. Suddenly, the bedroom door opened. Looking up, she saw Brendan had come back. She looked away as Brendan walked in.

Naoni was sitting up in bed. She said, “Stop pretending to be good, Brendan, you need to restrain yourself a bit.”

Brendan knew why she and Madelyn had a light. His actions made Naomi feel he didn’t respect her. Otherwise, Madelyn wouldn’t have been so bold with her tonight.

Seeing Brenden again made Naomi feel really mad

Brendan took off his suit jacket and hung it on the rack. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and looked at Naomi with a half–smile, “Are you trying to control me?”

As Brendan walked towards her, Naomi said, “I don’t want to see you tonight. Get out.”

“You don’t want to have a baby?”

“No, I don’t want to,”

Brendan’s lips curved into a smile, “Are you

you sure you want to pass up this chance?”

Naomi suddenly felt depressed, and then she became frustrated and upset.

What kind of couple lived like them? She had to beg him for a child and always gauge his mood.

Naomi’s gaze grew colder. She suddenly wanted to stand up for herself in front of Brendan. So, she said sharply, “Get out.”

Brendan squinted and felt amused. He picked up his belt and lifted her chin with it. “Naomi, didn’t you always want a baby?”

Naomi grabbed the belt and threw it at him. “Aren’t you tired of this?”

Everyone had emotions. Nobody wanted to serve him with a smile all day.

The angrier Naomi got, the more Brendan found it amusing. He leaned in close to her, “I’m in a good mood today.
