Boomerang Love

As everyone was messing around and enjoying their cake, Naomi escaped to the courtyard to prevent the children from smearing more cake onto her face.

"Mom." When Naomi saw Heather come out, she greeted her.

Heather rubbed at Naomi's face and said, "You didn't clean all of it off.".

Following that, she changed the topic abruptly and said, "Naomi, if you and Brendan have a child, you won't divorce him, will you?"

When Heather finished her question, Naomi knew that she had spoken to Brendan without even having to ask. Brendan had even blamed their problems on her.

Naomi looked at Heather for a while. She then smiled and said, "Between Brendan and I, his words are the law."

She did have that intention, but she couldn't tell Heather!

Telling Brendan was fine, but not Heather.

Heather responded, "As long as you don't have the intention to do so, we're good."

She continued, "Imagine that! We live in such a big world. For two people to get together isn't a simple task, considering you have known each other for so long."

"Yeah!" Naomi echoed her agreement. Truthfully, she believed that they'd known each other for long. enough. It was indeed time for a change.

As they chatted in the courtyard, the birthday dinner came to an end.

Everyone said their goodbyes to Fiona and Jackson. Then, they headed home.

As Brendan and Naomi talked to Fiona and Jackson, both of them admonished the younger couple to maintain a good relationship with each other and complete their entrusted task as soon as possible.

They agreed vehemently. Yet, they went in separate directions the second they were out the door.

Brendan's car tailed Naomi. He placed his hands on the steering wheel carelessly and thought of how she'd prepared Heather for the future. His mood soured.

It looked like she genuinely intended to get a divorce.

The more Brendan thought about it, the more his expression darkened.

She'd talked about getting a divorce twice before. It wasn't one of her recent designs. She'd intended to do so since she agreed to this marriage.

20 minutes later, they arrived at Yellowind Bay. Brendan got out of his car shortly after Naomi did.

They entered the house one after another. When Jennifer saw they came back together, she welcomed them cheerily, "Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig, you're back! It must've been lively at the mansion!"

Naomi replied, "It was quite lively."

Brendan was silent.

Naomi chatted with Jennifer briefly before going upstairs. When she pushed open the bedroom door, Brendan looked up coincidentally.

Naomi glanced at him and took off her coat to hang on the coat rack.

Brendan broke the silence first. He asked, "Why didn't you wait for me in the afternoon?"

Naomi faced away from him. "I had nothing to do, so I went over earlier."

She thought he would grill her about her complaints to Heather.

Looking at Naomi's silhouette, Brendan opened his mouth to speak multiple times. However, he didn't know how to start.

A moment later, when Naomi left the bathroom after her shower, Brendan was no longer in the room.

Naomi didn't call him to talk. She blow-dried her hair and went to bed.

Deep into the night, gigantic rumbles shook the sky. Almost the entire city was woken up. Naomi was also startled awake.

When she opened her eyes, lightning struck, followed by a gigantic rumble.
