Boomerang Love (Naomi and Brendan)

Chapter 256

His fingers rubbed her face softly. In a rare occurrence, he asked her gently, "Did you lose your case?"

However, this was unlikely. The case had just opened and she was prosecuting Ivan for intentional injury and murder. Usually, cases like these wouldn't be over soon.

Naomi pushed herself upward slightly and laid sexily on the bed. She looked at Brendan and said, "All four of my tires were slashed by the defendant."

It was one thing if he'd destroyed one of them. Yet, he'd ruined all her tires. Naomi felt frustrated

whenever she thought about it, even now.

When Brendan heard her words, his face darkened. He rubbed her cheeks harder.

Naomi continued, "I've been exhausted from running around for the whole day. I wanted to sleep it off, but I couldn't fall asleep."

Brendan put away his dark expression. He smiled and said, "It's rare for you to be enraged, especially to

the point where you can't sleep."

Usually, it seemed like she didn't have a heart. The sky could fall, and she'd go about her day as though

nothing had happened.

He didn't wait for Naomi to respond before he pushed her hair out of her face. "Jennifer said you didn't have any dinner. Go down and have something to eat.

"Don't ponder over work-related affairs once you've returned home. If you're having problems obtaining

evidence, I can get Jason to do it."

Naomi replied, "You don't need to interfere in my work. I have my ways."

If she needed Brendan's help to get work done, she would've lived so long and studied so hard for

nothing.

Brendan advised, "Then, go downstairs to eat something."

Naomi laid face down on the bed and said, "I'm not hungry."

It wasn't very late yet, but the house was warm and quiet. They hadn't chatted so leisurely in a while.

Brendan enjoyed how Naomi was willing to talk to him about this. It was as though the distance between them had dissipated.

Seeing that Naomi had collapsed back into bed, Brendan leaned down to kiss her cheek. "If you don't go

down, then I'll start taking your clothes off."

Naomi remained in bed. She pulled her nightclothes lower to expose her creamy shoulder. She said,

Come on! I've been getting impatient waiting."

He'd threatened her so much that she'd adopted his greasy tactics.

He reached out a hand to pull her shirt upward. He picked her up princess-style and instructed, "Let's go down to eat first. If not, you'll start complaining you can't go on halfway through." With two arms around Brendan's neck, Naomi looked at him and asked, "Brendan, you seem different

today."

He was rather gentle and patient, even going as far as to console her.

Brendan glanced at her and responded, "You also seem a little different tonight."

Naomi replied, "I'm different from day to day. I could cosplay a different character for you every single day."

Brendan said, "Then, cosplay a maid for me later."

She said she could take on something new every day, so he'd pick something that contrasted with her the

most.

Naomi kept one hand around his neck and splayed a palm in front of him. "Pay me."

Brendan whispered into her ear in a refined yet crass way. Naomi's expression changed instantly.

She looked at him as though she was staring at a pervert. She chuckled and complained, "It's a feat to be so stingy."

When Brendan carried Naomi downstairs, Jennifer was ecstatic. She said, "You've come down! Mr. Ludwig, you're much better at handling Mrs. Ludwig. What would you like to eat, Mrs. Ludwig?" Naomi got off Brendan and replied, "I just want a plain dessert and some fruits."

Jennifer smiled. "The sweet potato soup is still warm. I'll cut up a fruit platter for you."
