Chapter 9

Fiona really didn't trust her grandson much!

Seeing this, Naomi immediately served Brendan some food. "Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be the company's legal representative. Eat a bit more."

Brendan gave her a cold look. But Naomi just smiled at him. Her eyes curved into lines. With the legal representation deal secured, she was in a great mood.

Just then, Heather seized the moment to say, "Brendan, Naomi, the two of you don't come back often. Why don't you stay here tonight?"

Fiona said, "Our mansion has a good environment. You two stay here tonight, and Naomi might just get pregnant."

Then, Fiona added, "Brendan, try a little harder tonight. Maybe aim for twins."

Brendan was speechless.

Anyway, it seemed like everyone was eager for them to have a child soon. So, when they got back to their bedroom upstairs, Naomi asked, "Are we going to try for a baby?"

Brendan looked at her indifferently. "Naomi, can't you think of anything else?"

Naomi laughed. "When I see you, what else can I think about? Besides, would you be okay if I thought about this with someone else?"

Brendan walked closer and pinched her face. "You really have no shame."

Naomi pushed away his hands and threw her arms around his neck. "You're my husband. Why should I pretend?"

For her, having a child was more important than her own pride. Besides, she felt she had no pride left to maintain in front of Brendan.

Looking down at her, Brendan said, "Naomi, no woman acts like you do."

"Nonsense," Naomi replied. "I'm exactly that kind of woman."

With that, she stood on her tiptoes. Her lips were almost touching his. She then called out, " Brendan."

"Hmm?" Brendan responded in a hoarse voice.

Hearing that, Naomi leaned in and kissed him. Her soft lips made Brendan tense up. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

Even though he wanted to push her away, he found himself caressing her instead. He was starting to lose control.

But then, a rush of heat flushing over his body made him remember Naomi's little tricks and the eagerness of his parents and grandparents for them to have a baby.

So, he pushed Naomi away and went straight to the bathroom.

The opportunity she had was gone.

Naomi lost her temper. She took off her slippers and threw them angrily at the bathroom door. She yelled, "Brendan, are you even a man?"

He'd rather do a hand job than touch her. She felt deeply insulted.

Half an hour later, when Brendan came out of the bathroom, Naomi had already turned her back to him and fallen asleep.

When Brendan accidentally touched her while sitting down next to her, Naomi turned and kicked him several times. Brendan was caught off guard and knocked to the floor by her kicks.

"Naomi!" Brendan called out in a low voice. Yet, Naomi continued to turn her back to him and remained silent.

Naomi was ignoring him. He felt helpless, but he understood that she was really mad this time.

When he sat beside her again, she tried to kick him. He quickly pinned her down, stopping her from moving.

Seeing she was no match for him, she supported herself with her hands on the bed and sat up. "Alright, I'll go back, okay?"

She couldn't accept what Brendan had just done. No wife should have to feel as frustrated as she did.

Brendan's face darkened. "Naomi, can't you just stop making trouble for one night?"

Stop making trouble? Naomi suddenly felt very wronged. Her eyes welled up with tears as she laughed at herself.

But soon, she regained her composure. "Brendan, if you really want a divorce, just go and tell your dad."

They had been married for two years. She was tired of his indifference and feeling alone. If it couldn't work, it was better to end it sooner. Whether she had kids or not wasn't such a big deal.

With that, she went to the wardrobe to get her clothes.

Seeing she was serious, Brendan grabbed her arm. Naomi tried to shake him off, but

Brendan pulled her back, causing her to fall onto the bed.

As Naomi tried to get up, Brendan pinned her down, pressing down on her hands. "Naomi, don't turn this into a situation we can't fix."

Right after they made it seem like they were getting along in front of his family, she wanted

to go home without him. What would his grandparents think?

Naomi's eyes were red. She turned her head away from Brendan.

He felt a tug at his heart. He leaned in to kiss her, but she turned her head even more, burying her face in the pillow.

At this moment, she was unwilling and no longer interested in Brendan.

Brendan felt helpless. He spoke gently to her, "Didn't we agree before coming back that I would come back home once a week from now on?"

This was the first time in their two years of marriage that Brendan was so gentle and patient

with her.

Naomi didn't respond.

Eventually, Brendan ended up hugging her as they slept. Naomi kept her back to him the whole time. Her eyes remained red, and she was in no mood at all.

Naomi knew that Brendan being nice t her earlier was only because he was considering his

family's feelings.

In his heart, she was nothing more than a shameless woman who threw herself at him. That's why, even though they were married and she was always available to him, he still

wouldn't touch her.

That night, Naomi couldn't sleep.

On the other hand, Brendan hugged her and slept more soundly than ever. But when he woke up, the bed was cold. Naomi had already left.

He turned to look at the empty space beside him, thinking about how unwilling she was last night. She wouldn't even let him touch her and kept her back to him all night. He felt a pang

in his heart.

In the past, no matter what he said or did, no matter how he treated her, she would always respond with a smile and playful teasing. But this time, she wasn't playing along anymore.

Meanwhile, before work hours, Naomi arrived at the law firm early to prepare the contract with Ludwig Corporation.

Since Samuel had already notified them, Naomi didn't seek out Brendan at Ludwig Corporation. Instead, she went straight to the legal department and signed the contract.

When Jason reported this to Brendan, his face immediately soured. When she didn't need anything, she wouldn't even look for him.

As a newcomer, securing the legal representation for Ludwig Corporation caused quite a stir in the circle for Naomi.

Everyone at the law firm hadn't really expected Naomi to land such a big client. They just thought she was going out to try her luck. But Naomi managed to secure the deal much

faster than anyone anticipated.

The director, Michael, was really happy. He arranged a dinner that night to celebrate with all

the staff for her success.

At the dinner table, Michael was beaming with joy. He raised a toast to Naomi. "Naomi, you really surprised and impressed us all! We've been trying for years to secure this contract, and you did it as soon as you joined.

"I knew you had great potential since the first time I met you. Come on, this first drink is to

you."

Naomi stood up with her glass in hand. "Mr. Symth, you're too kind."

Michael downed his glass in one go, and Naomi did the same.

"Naomi, here's to you."

"Naomi..."

At Yellowind Bay No. 1, Brendan was back and in the study. It was getting late, and Naomi

still wasn't home.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

He got up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking out and not seeing Naomi, Brendan became even more upset.
