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 hear Bushing 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 sirring 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 soddenly 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
Sering 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

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
Naomi knew that Brendan being nice to her earlier was only because he was considering his family's feelings.
In his heart, she was nothing more than a shameless woman who throw 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. is time, she
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 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 thing, she wouldn't
When Jason reported this to Brendan, his face immediately soured. When she didn't need anything, wouldn't even look for him. As a newcomer, securing the legal representation for Ludwig Corporation caused 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

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.

you."
At Yellowind Hay No. 1, Brendan was back and in the study. It was getting late, and Naomi still wasn't horne.
He got up and walloed over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking out and not seeing Naomi, Brendan became even more upset.
