Chapter 137
Naomi slowed her pace, maintaining her usual smile. “Are you here to hire me for a case?”
She was talking as if she and Brendan were merely acquaintances, not husband and wife.
Brendan flicked the half–smoked cigarette to the ground and stomped it out. “Aren’t you planning on going home?”
Naomi quirked an eyebrow and nodded at the door. “Hey! That’s my home behind you.”
With his hands in his pockets, Brendan observed Naomi silently. “I’m finally here, Naomi. So why don’t
both of us take a step back? And Mom is already getting suspicious.”
Naomi felt like laughing. She had taken more than a step back. Now, her back was to the wall.
But she didn’t want to argue with Brendan. Letting out a yawn, she sighed.
“You can deal with your mother yourself. I’m going back to sleep.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
As Naomi made her way toward the door, Brendan reached out and grabbed her arm.
Naomi turned around. “Brendan Ludwig, what the hell are you doing here so late? Don’t make me call
security.”
Brendan pulled Naomi back. “Naomi, I’m offering you a chance. You’d better take it.”
“No!” Naomi retorted. “I don’t want it. I’m sure you know how shameless I can be.”
Did he expect her to accept his gesture of goodwill? Who did he think he was?
Seeing Naomi stand her ground, Brendan began to grow irritated. He had already come over and even
conceded to her. What more did she want?
Brendan bit down his anger. “What do you want?”
Naomi pulled her hand away and clicked her tongue. “Mr. Ludwig, all I want is for you to stay the fuck away from me.”
Since she stopped seeking him out, he kept coming back to find her, which always led to arguments. Given the state of their relationship, it was better for them to keep their distance!
Brendan frowned. “Have you finally decided to get a divorce?”
“That’s exactly it!” Naomi smirked, “Now…”
Before Naomi could finish, Brendan interrupted her. “Don’t even think about it, Naomi. You’d better come back to me now, or both of our companies will suffer.”
Naomi was amused by this and snorted. “I’ve never realized how much of a hypocrite you are. Have you ever thought about our companies when you cheated? I’m just following your lead and returning the favor!
Naomi used to brush off the rumors because she cared about their marriage. But now that she had given up, Brendan’s threat meant nothing to her.
He didn’t respect her back then. So why should she respect him now? If she was bound for hell, she swore she would drag him down with her!
It wasn’t as if she couldn’t live without him.
Brendan turned red with anger. “Fine, Naomi. If that’s what you want. I can’t wait to see which fool would
want you now.”
Naomi flung his hand aside. “Please get out of my way. I’m going home!”
She pushed past him, only for him to pull her back, slamming her against the wall. He soon leaned down to devour her lips..
Under Brendan’s intense kiss, Naomi pushed him away with all her might and slapped him. She yelled, ” Brendan Ludwig! I’m already letting most things slide! At least have some respect for yourself!
“You don’t want to have peace? Fine! But don’t come causing trouble for others! Aren’t I doing you a favor by moving out? Hell! I’ll even sign the divorce papers now! What more do you want from me?”
Brendan’s face burned with humiliation as he growled through clenched teeth, “When did I ever say I wanted a divorce?”
