Chapter 86

“It’s necessary! Besides, you probably didn’t have time to eat, considering the scene you caused for the Sabella family.”

Naomi sat back on the sofa as Ronald placed the food in front of her and handed her a fork. He asked.” Did Brendan go with Chloe today? By the way, how’s the divorce proceeding?”

Naomi took the fork expressionlessly and said, “Why do you keep pushing me to get a divorce every other day? Do you have a crush on me?”

Ronald exploded, “You’re too feisty. I wouldn’t dare to love anyone like you! I just can’t stand Brendan’s arrogance, especially since he’s no good to begin with.”

Naomi took a sip of water and said, “You should say that in front of your family.”

“I will. I’ll definitely say it. After this is over, I’m going to report Brendan to them.”

Naomi chuckled. She had never seen him win against Brendan.

*Naomi, let me tell you, Brendan is the kind of guy who…” Ronald started venting about Brendan once again.

Meanwhile, Brendan had just returned home. Jennifer greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Ludwig, you’re back!”

Brendan asked, “Where’s Naomi?”

Jennifer replied, “Mrs. Ludwig isn’t with you? She hasn’t returned yet.”

She hadn’t returned yet?

Brendan’s expression darkened. If she hadn’t returned home, where was she? Wasn’t she supposed to be asleep at home?

With a stern expression, he took out his phone and dialed Naomi’s number.

“Brendan has never been any good since we were kids. Whenever we had food, he would always eat it first. I’ve never even got to taste the middle part of a watermelon.

“He made me deal with some hornets‘ nests by myself. One summer, he even let me get bitten by a snake. Naomi, can you believe what kind of person he is?”

Ronald angrily recounted the various wrongs committed by Brendan throughout their childhood. Then, Naomi’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and glanced at Ronald before answering, “It’s the guy who let you get bitten by a snake

Ronald abruptly stopped talking, and even his anger seemed to have subsided. Naomi gave him a disdainful smile and then answered the phone, “What’s up?”

Chapter 86

Brendan’s voice came through angrily from the other end. “Naomi, where the hell are you?”

When the banquet ended, he had intended to head home with Naomi, She had told him that she was going home to sleep. However, when he returned home, there was no sign of her anywhere.

Naomi held the phone away from her ear and frowned, her eyes narrowing as she responded, “What do

you want?”

“You’d better be back in ten minutes,” Brendan ordered.

Ronald stared at Naomi with a serious expression. He felt like he should do something in this situation. Otherwise, he would be letting his brother down.

So, he cleared his throat and lowered his voice as he said, “Ms. Goodwin, why don’t you come over here? The bathwater is getting cold. Didn’t we say we were going to take a bath together?”

Naomi raised an eyebrow and looked at Ronald in disbelief. Where did he find the courage to say that?

Ronald raised an eyebrow in response, looking rather pleased with himself.

Brendan was in for a sleepless night tonight, and it seemed like he wouldn’t be getting much sleep tomorrow or the day after either.

With a sharp tone, Brendan asked, “Is there someone with you?”

Maintaining her composure, Naomi replied, “No, you must have misheard.”

Ronald continued with his teasing, “Ms. Goodwin, who are you talking to? Do you have a man on the side?

Weren’t you single? Hang up the phone. I promise to make your night unforgettable.”
