Boomerang Love

Hearing her audacious statement, Brendan's face darkened. There she was again, scheming against him.

Toweling his hair dry, Brendan coldly remarked, "I just defended you earlier, and now you want me to work hard again? Dream on."

Naomi teased, "You can just relax on the bed. I'll handle it myself."

Brendan was speechless. He raised the towel to toss it at her and blurted out, "Naomi, you're such a troublemaker."

In their banter, Brendan never emerged victorious.

With a poker face, he inquired, "How could you dare to go to the Sabella family alone? Do you really think they won't retaliate?"

Naomi chuckled composedly. "I don't do things without certainty."

Brendan stared at her in silence, wondering if Naomi was certain that they would have a child together.

just because they were married.

Seeing him remain quiet, Naomi playfully said, "You've been so protective today. Are you planning to have a baby with me too?"

Brendan wore a solemn expression and declared, "Do you think I'd let the Sabella family tarnish my reputation?"

His implication was clear, and Naomi understood it right away. For him, maintaining his dignity and reputation was paramount. She was just taking the opportunity to tease him.

Before Naomi could respond, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was a call from a client, she picked it up and said to Brendan, “If you're not ready to have a baby with me, I'll focus on my work then."

She then answered the call with a welcoming tone. "Hello, Ms. Logan."

"Ms. Goodwin!" The lady on the other end of the phone burst into tears as soon as Naomi spoke.

Naomi quickly consoled her, "Ms. Logan, don't cry. Take your time and tell me what happened." She flipped the blanket and sat on the bed.

Brendan watched as she swiftly transitioned into work mode, his expression showing clear disdain.

Before, he thought that Naomi regarded him with the utmost importance, especially when it came to having a child. However, that didn't seem to be the case now.

"The decision is yours to make, Naomi said.

After a short pause, she stated, "Alright, pick a day that suits you. We'll discuss the specific procedures when we meet."

Brendan, who was beside her, cast a sidelong glance at her. He felt that Naomi wasn't being sincere earlier and was just playing with him.

Over an hour later, Naomi ended the call, feeling drained. She let out a yawn as she stretched lazily and slid under the covers. "I'm going to bed now!"

As Naomi nestled beneath the blanket, Brendan extended his leg and nudged Naomi with it. He was initially expecting a playful retaliation from her. To his surprise, she had already succumbed to sleep.

An unexplained annoyance surged within Brendan.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Meanwhile, over at the Jenkins family, news of Naomi's m

confrontation with the Sabella family and the subsequent altercation with Madelyn had prompted Estelle and Pauline, the mother-daughter duo, to remain hidden for over ten days.

Only when they sensed a subsiding tension between Naomi and Brendan did they cautiously emerge, presuming the storm had finally passed.

However, upon stepping out of the hospital, they found themselves ambushed and subjected to another attack, ultimately being forced back into the hospital.

Two days after Estelle and Pauline encountered their unfortunate fate, during a national holiday, Naomi was invited out by Annie for a discussion on some legal procedures at a local cafe.

Engrossed in their conversation, the two only left when it was well past noon.

Annie looked apologetic and softly said, "Ms. Goodwin, I'm really sorry m

that I had to invite you out to discuss Work on a holiday. But my schedule is too hectic, and I only have time during the holidays."
