Chapter 136

When Jason mentioned Naomi's return to South Lake, his voice noticeably softened.

Brendan stopped flipping through documents at this. Jason continued, "I checked. Mr. Martin did indeed go to Belvoria for a meeting, and he returned on Wednesday. He never met Ms. Goodwin before coming

back.

"But Mr. Ronald did visit Ms. Goodwin. He went over the night you returned to Ashburgh, and Ms.

Goodwin fell ill while she was there. It was Mr. Ronald who accompanied her to the hospital.

"I also checked Ms. Goodwin's call records. Mr. Martin called Ms. Goodwin later, but she didn't tell him.

about her illness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left for Ashburgh without seeing her."

Brendan was going through a rollercoaster of emotions while listening to Jason's report. His mood only

lifted when he heard that Naomi hadn't told Maximus about her illness.

Seeing Brendan's changing expression, Jason hesitated before muttering, "Mr. Ludwig, there's something.

I wish to tell you."

Brendan hated it when people beat around the bush. He looked up abruptly at Jason, and the latter quickly added, "I think Ms. Goodwin doesn't have feelings for Mr. Martin. She's always kept her relationship w "Ms. Goodwin is a blunt person. She's rejected him once before, so it's unlikely she'll go back on her decision. Besides, Ms. Goodwin was hoping to have a child with you!"

After Jason's analysis, Brendan simply looked at him silently. Seeing this, Jason's voice grew weaker. "I

shouldn't have said anything."

It had been two years. Jason felt he had a good grasp of Brendan and Naomi's relationship.

While he couldn't tell if Naomi liked Brendan, he knew she wasn't the secretive type. And she had always been forgiving of Brendan.

She never cared about Brendan's scandals. And as long as Brendan didn't show any disdain toward her, she always acted friendly. Her personality was quite charming.

However, Jason didn't understand Brendan, who never cared about Naomi's sunshine personality.

After listening to Jason's apology, Brendan calmly instructed, "Pandora just released a limited edition. pink diamond necklace. Go order it."

Jason cautiously said, "Mr. Ludwig, aren't you going to give the wedding ring to Ms. Goodwin? You've kept

it for over two years."

Before Brendan and Naomi got married, he had personally designed a wedding ring for her. But over two years had passed, and he still hadn't given it to her. Jason even began to suspect whether that ring had Brendan looked up from his documents. "Did I ask for your opinion?"

Chapter 136-

Jason quickly apologized, "My mistake. I'll go order the necklace right away."

After Jason left the office, Brendan slammed the documents in his hand onto the table. Naomi was sick,

but she didn't tell him.

But then again, Naomi never cared about him. She didn't even tell him about the car accident last year.

Yet maybe he did overreact that day in Belvoria.

Brendan rubbed his temple before drowning himself in his work again.

Back at South Lake, when Naomi woke up, Bailey and Ronald were still asleep.

Naomi didn't wake them and quietly tidied herself up before heading to the law firm. In the following days, she didn't return to Yellowind Bay and would go straight to South Lake after work.

One night, around 9:00 pm, when Naomi returned home, she saw Brendan leaning against her door, smoking a cigarette. There were already several cigarette butts on the ground by his feet.
