Boomerang Love (Naomi and Brendan)
Chapter 148

Chapter 148

Maximus said, "I went to the Goodwin family to propose to you because I saw you arguing with Brendan, and he slapped you. I did so in a show of support for you, so Brendan would realize he wasn't your only choice."

As Maximus mentioned this, Naomi looked up at him. She hadn't expected him to have witnessed them. arguing, nor for him to have seen Brendan slapping her on the face.

In response to Naomi's surprised expression, Maximus continued, "I do like you a lot, Naomi, just as I like Sophia and Bailey.

"I would've done the same if Bailey had been in that situation. Thus, I hope that you and Brendan are happy together."

Sophia was Maximus' sister.

As Maximus was speaking, Naomi felt a mix of emotions.

It turned out that she had been overthinking all these years.

Naomi stared at Maximus for a moment before she smiled and said, "Thank you, Maximus."

Maximus admired the coastline in front of him. "I saw you guys grow up. I hope everyone can be as they

were.

In reality, Maximus wasn't much older than them. He was seven years older than Naomi, four years older than Brendan, and two years older than Reuben and Cameron. All things considered, he was still the oldest among them.

However, he was the youngest and most promising officer in Ashburgh. Everyone in his family saw him as their pride and joy.

After relaxing on the beach for a while with Maximus, his phone rang, signaling that he had tasks to handle. The two returned to their rooms in the resort to rest.

Maximus' room was one level above Naomi's, so she exited the lift before him..

Naomi walked along the corridor while tightening her shawl. Then she saw Brendan standing outside her room, speaking on the phone.

Upon seeing Naomi return, he hung up swiftly and looked toward her.

At the other end of the corridor, Naomi saw that Brendan remained standing in front of her door, as though he was waiting for her. Although she had slowed down at the sight of him, she quickened her footsteps at this realization.

She crossed her arms over her shawl as she stopped before Brendan and said, "Looking for me? Aren't you scared you'll get found out?"

They were legally married, but Naomi spoke as though they were having an affair.

Brendan ignored her words. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and asked, "Where have you been?"

Naomi replied nonchalantly, "I went to cheat on you with my lover."

Brendan's expression darkened. Every time he spoke to her, he felt as though he was imminently in need

of resuscitation,

Even so, he didn't get angry at Naomi. He walked closer to her and questioned, "You went to meet

Maximus?"

Naomi tugged at her shawl. "Yeah, I met him for a bit."

Brendan could no longer hold himself back. He raised his hand and dragged her closer with a hand around her neck.

"Naomi Goodwin, I'm not fucking dead yet, and you're already having an affair in front of my very eyes.

Naomi raised her head to look at him with a glint of humor in her eyes.

"Neither am I dead yet, but you've been living the high life outside. We're not that different in this aspect, so let's not point fingers at each other."

After she finished, she removed Brendan's hand and continued, "In the future, say all you want, but don't lay your hands on me."

Brendan's anger went through the roof. Who liked laying hands on who? Who was the one who put him in the hospital and slapped him?

"Mr. Ludwig.

As tension crackled between them, their neighbors came out from the opposite room.

Upon seeing that, Brendan pulled the card out and opened Naomi's door. He grabbed onto her arm and threw her into the room.

Naomi was instantly unhappy at the fact that Brendan had her room card. What a powerful person he was.

Naomi stumbled before replaceing her balance. She threw her shawl onto Brendan and questioned him angrily, "Who let you enter my room?"

Brendan responded, "So what if I'm in your room? You've tried to get in bed with me multiple times." Naomi's anger morphed into hilarity. "So you're planning to climb in bed with me tonight?"
