Boomerang Love (Naomi and Brendan)
Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Naomi hadn't experienced any emotional turbulence over the necklace. She hadn't forced Brendan to sever all ties with her.

Brendan could still do whatever he wanted, but she had the right to reject any man who wasn't committed to her.

If he wanted to sleep around outside, he could. However, he mustn't climb into her lap only when he needed something, or look for comfort.

If he treated someone well and devoted his love to her, he should've sought the same person out in times of unhappiness. She wouldn't play the role of his haven, not to mention he didn't even love her.

As to her marriage with Brendan, Naomi didn't see that much would come out of it. She was feeling less and less confident about it.

As he saw Naomi put on her clothes, he stopped groaning. He looked at her and asked, "Hasn't your anger subsided? Are you still jealous?"

Naomi poured herself a cup of water and took a sip. She responded, "I'm not angry, nor am I jealous either. I just think this is rather meaningless."

She didn't want to be with him anymore, and no longer thought about having a child with him.

Brendan's heart sank when he heard Naomi's complaint.

Reuben had said that people's patience and feelings would eventually be extinguished bit by bit.

It was late at night. All was silent.

When Naomi walked nearer to him, he took her hand and asked, "When will you stop being angry?"

Naomi did not answer. She just glanced at the gastric medicine on the table and said, "Jason has prepared all the medicine you might need. If you feel unwell, get them yourself..." Naomi hadn't finished speaking before Brendan pulled her over and sat her down on his lap.

He kissed her again, but Naomi said, "Brendan, just let it go."

Brendan halted his actions. He swallowed noisily and felt frustration rise in him out of nowhere.

He stopped kissing her, and Naomi/slowly got up.

In the past, she didn't need him to seduce her. She felt enough by herself.

However, after that business trip, she stopped thinking about this. Even if Brendan returned every day, she wouldn't think about doing things with him anymore. Brendan was frustrated at Naomi's honesty, wanting to scold her. However, he understood that if they continued to fight, Naomi would just shun him more. Thus, he restrained his anger.

Brendan walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette. He then said, "Go to sleep."

He'd wanted her just now. However, her words had stilled his heart.

Indeed, he had pushed Naomi away with his own hands.

Naomi glanced at Brendan's silhouette and yawned. She told him, "I'm feeling tired, so I'll sleep first."

She stopped paying attention to Brendan and pulled up her bed covers. She fell asleep soon.

By the balcony, Brendan didn't look back. He stood there for a long time until there was no movement behind him. Only then did he turn around slowly and look at Naomi. She'd fallen asleep, as though this didn't weigh on her conscience at all.

He stared at her for a while. Then, he got closer to her.

He gazed at Naomi for a long time before bending down and caressing her forehead. "Naomi, can't we go back to the past?"

On the bed, Naomi hadn't fallen asleep. When she heard Brendan's words, she felt her heart skip a beat.
