Once again, he had confronted her directly, questioning and blaming her because of Chloe.
These situations had occurred too often. Despite her patience and good temper, she felt worn out and was contemplating giving up.
When she had given the check to Chloe, she had been ready for an argument with Brendan.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Seeing Naomi's nonchalant demeanor, Brendan couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Sath the Find Nøvl.not website on Googll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
After a brief gaze at Naomi, he turned to Chloe and remarked, "Chloe, you should leave first."
As Chloe left, she explained, "Brendan, Naomi didn't mean it. It's just a misunderstanding. Don't argue with her, and just explain things calmly." After that, she gave Naomi some advice and left Brendan's office.
As Chloe closed the door, she couldn't resist glancing back at the office from the hallway.
She had never told anyone, but she envied Naomi. Only Naomi could elicit a response from Brendan, even if it was just anger.
In the office, when Naomi saw that the office's door was closed, she took the check that Brendan had tossed just now.
Seeing this, Brendan asked, "Naomi, you don't want to continue the marriage?"
Naomi looked at him, sighed gently, and said, "Brendan, I've tried hard enough for you already."
The implication was clear. Her decision on whether to divorce or stay with him depended on him. Naomi wouldn't plead or drag things out, In fact, over the past two years, if Brendan had been determined to divorce her and handed her the divorce agreement, she wouldn't have refused, even if she wouldn't become the mother of his child In life, everyone needed their dignity. It was possible to be persistent for a while, but it was impossible to be persistent forever.
Naomi's indifferent tone and words left Brendan suddenly speechless.
He said, "I have a meeting later. I'll have Jason send you home."
Naomi stood up gracefully from her chair. "I can go home by myself."
However, Jason was adamant. Since Brendan had asked him to send Naomi home, he insisted on doing so.
Naomi found his insistence amusing and tossed him her car keys. "Fine, you can drive my car and take a taxi back later. "
After taking Naomi's car keys, Jason opened the car door and got in.
Alter a moment, the engine started. Jason gripped the steering wheel before turning to look at Naomi. He remarked, "Ms. Goodwin, actually, Mr. Ludwig and Ms. Yates aren't together like you think. A few days ago, something happened to Ms. Yates' family, and she wasn't in a good condition, so..."
Before Jason could finish his sentence, Naomi interrupted him, "Brendan isn't even afraid of me misunderstanding, so why are you so worried for him? "Mr. Ludwig is just feeling embarrassed."
"Embarrassed?" Naomi smiled. "Then, let him bel"
"Ms. Goodwin, it's really not what you think"
"Jason, if you say it like this, it only makes me more suspicious. Initially, I'd thought that she was his lover, and that's why your b
your boss treats her well
"Now, you're telling me that they're just colleagues, but he treats his colleague better than his wife. Jason, you're just making me even sadder!"
Naomi's witty remarks left Jason speechless.
Looking at Naomi again, although she seemed indifferent, her eyes revealed a touch of self-mockery.
Jason said, "Ms. Goodwin, Mr.
Ludwig is taking care of Ms. Yates now because of something that En.
happened three years ago."
