Chapter 54

When a basin of cold water was poured over her head, Naomi reacted like a startled cat. She jumped from the bed, patting herself to get rid of the cold water.

A young maid, trembling with the basin in her hands, said, "Mrs. Ludwig, it was Mr. Ludwig's order."

After saying this, the maid glanced nervously at Brendan:

Naomi's gaze followed the mald's, and she saw Brendan standing with his hands in his pockets, looking coldly at her. Without a word, she picked up an ornament from the nearby cabinet and threw it at him. "Brendan, are you crazy?"

In an instant, water droplets from her soaked body flew everywhere.

Seeing Naomi getting angry, the maid was frightened and ran out with the basin.

Brendan managed to dodge the ornament thrown by her. She was soaked from head to toe and couldn't swallow her anger. She got out of bed and confronted him directly.

Although she was skilled in martial arts, she didn't have a significant advantage when facing Brendan. She tried to hit him with various objects, but in the end, she only managed to scratch his face a little. When Naomi forcefully threw her clothes at Brendan, he reached out and grabbed her face, questioning her coldly, "Am I the crazy one, or you, Naomi? You just let anyone into our house and even into my roon Brendan's grip on her face wasn't gentle, and Naomi's cheeks turned pale.

"I'm crazy?" Naomi smiled ironically, then pushed away his hand. "Brendan, if you can't remember what happened last night, let Mason help

you recall. Ask him whose name you were calling when you came back."

When Naomi brought up his drunken state, Brendan's expression shifted.

But Brendan still felt angry when he thought about how Naomi had pushed him away. He said, "Naomi, do you want to be that generous? Fine, I'll indulge you. Today, I'll bring that person back for you. Make sur He and Naomi hadn't made much progress in their relationship over the two years, but she had already let someone else into their lives. Fine, he would indulge her.

Brendan told her to leave, and Naomi coldly replied, "I'll leave right now."

With that, she slammed the door and left without looking back. In a fit of anger, Brendan smashed everything he could replace in the room.

Half an hour later, when Naomi had packed her things and was about to leave, Jennifer stopped her.

"Mrs. Ludwig, Mr. Ludwig just had too much to drink last night. Don't be angry with him."

"Jennifer, I'm not leaving because I'm angry with him. I'm going to the law firm."

They had been married for over two years. How many times had she suppressed her pride and approached him? How many times had she attempted to entice him?

How many

my times had she broached the subject of having children? But when had he ever taken her seriously? When had he ever shown her respect?

When had he ever acknowledged her publicly, introduced her to others openly, or spent holidays with her family? And did she ever complain about it?

These days, his family had been putting pressure on her. Although he had returned, he neither acted warmly nor looked at her with any interest. Why should she go out of her way for him when he treated her so

In hindsight, Naomi realized that it was becoming pointless. Her enthusiasm and patience toward Brendan had gradually eroded over these two years. She had always thought that by turning a blind eye and be

She was wrong.

She couldn't enter his life, and she couldn't enter his heart. And she didn't care anymore..

When Naomi mentioned going to the law firm, Jennifer appeared uneasy. She whispered, "Mrs. Ludwig, Mr. Ludwig has instructed that you aren't to leave the house."

Glancing outside at the courtyard, she added, "Besides, Mrs. Ludwig, you won't be able to leave even if

you try.
