Boomerang Love

Naomi paused. She'd been feeling fine before. But after hearing the news, she could feel a headache rising After a moment's pause, she sighed. "Got it."

After her argument with Brendan, Naomi had considered not staying at Yellowind Bay anymore. However, after the thought of her mother's tears, she'd changed her mind.

Naomi had always been fearless growing up, except when it came to Christine's tears. When she was younger, she even wondered if Christine's tears were a spell to keep her in check.

Furthermore, there were only four months left of the three-year time limit given by Samuel. If she could endure being with Brendan for over two years, a few more months would be a cakewalk.

She'd thought that perhaps Brendan wouldn't come home.

Speak of the devil.

Naomi knew Brendan was upstairs and felt reluctant to join him. Despite this, she eventually forced herself to go up..

When she entered the room, Brendan happened to turn away from the window.

Their eyes met, and Naomi greeted him with a smile. "You're back!"

Naomi always acted as if nothing had happened. However, despite her greeting, she couldn't bring herself to view Brendan the same way again.

If anything, she felt exhausted and was repulsed by the very idea of Brendan. Yet, she didn't want to make things awkward.

The least she could do was put on an act.

With his hands in his pockets, Brendan asked Naomi in an indifferent tone. "Who was the one in the car?"

Naomi stared blankly at him after that. After a while, she flashed him a wry smile. "You haven't been home for over ten days, yet you have the nerve to question me?"

Naomi didn't know how Brendan managed to put himself on a pedestal each time. She hadn't wanted to ask about his whereabouts, but he was already pissing her off with a single question.

Brendan approached Naomi. "Don't change the subject. I'm asking you a question."

Naomi's smile faded with Brendan's holier-than-thou attitude. "Well, since you asked, you can slap a title on him as you always do."

It didn't matter how hard she tried to explain herself. It was all for naught if Brendan never trusted her.

Moreover, Naomi felt that Brendan was deliberately finding fault. He was just looking for an excuse to end this marriage early.

Brendan's face darkened at Naomi's answer. Seeing that he was about to go off again, Naomi cut him to the chase.

"Brendan, let's talk this out. Your imagination is getting boring. It's exhausting to keep this going."

He was the one who'd run away from home and refused to acknowledge their relationship. And he was using contraception too. Naomi had had enough. She didn't even have the energy to argue with him.

Naomi was busy with work. She didn't want to constantly worry about matters at home, either.

She decided that she would let fate run its course. Furthermore, there were many things in life she wished to achieve. She didn't have time to worry about cheaters and children,

Brendan's anger dissipated when he saw Naomi's tired eyes. He seemed to read what was pixher mind. Naomi was frustrated and tired, and she didn't have the energy to even argue with him. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Brendan studied Naomi closely before leaving the bedroom.
