Boomerang Love

Naomi stared at Brendan for a long time before blinking back her tears. She sneered at him coldly." Brendan, we're fucking through."

All the fights he had fought for her, all the homework he had helped her with, all of it... Everything ended because of that slap.

After speaking, she brushed past Brendan and left, tears streaming down her face. She had known Brendan for 19 years. Yet all she got was the news of his relationship and a slap.

From a young age, Naomi was never one to stir up trouble and get into heated arguments. She was always willing to talk things out peacefully.

But she had to admit that the people and the environment a person was in could drive them crazy. They would get driven up the wall and say something they didn't mean.

Some might even end their life because of it.

If Brendan hadn't pushed her, pinched her face, or questioned her with that cold tone, she wouldn't have gotten angry and yelled at him.

What if he hadn't looked for her? What if they never had the fight? What if she hadn't been slapped?

But there were no what-ifs in life. The past was in the past.

Sometimes, a hug or a word of affirmation was all it took to change the outcome.

Memories flooded back as Naomi looked at the moon outside. She raised her hand and touched her face.

That slap really hurt! Even now, her face still felt numb when she recalled the incident.

The bump on her back also hurt. It was the kind of pain that she would never forget. And she swore she would never make up with Brendan.

But she didn't expect Sophia to be caught in a fire and end up dying from a failed surgery.

And she never expected that a few fortune tellers would pop out of nowhere to tell her fate. She never thought Samuel would offer the proposal, let alone for Brendan to agree.

Looking back now, perhaps Brendan agreed to this marriage to torment her! Neither of them could swallow their pride.

Later on, she couldn't resist the pressure from her parents and eventually agreed to the marriage. She thought that if she made an effort, or if both of them were in it together, they could turn a blind eye to their past and get through the days.

But Brendan had other different ideas. He agreed to this marriage just to torment her.

Naomi didn't know why Brendan had a change of heart and started coming home more frequently.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Perhaps it was the pressure from the Ludwig family. As he said himself, a divorce wouldn't do their Chapter 224

families good.

Naomi took a deep breath and withdrew her gaze, focusing back on the diamond ring. She attempted to take off the ring. But after a few tries, she couldn't get it off.

After trying a few more times, Naomi couldn't be bothered to take it off.

She turned to peer into the bedroom. It seemed Brendan didn't share her nightmare.

Naomi straightened her clothes and was about to head back to the m bedroom when the study door suddenly opened.

Naomi turned around and saw Brendan coming over. She smiled at him. "You're awake too?"

Brendan looked at her feet. "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

Naomi looked to the side and saw two pairs of slippers under the m bedside table. She walked over and put

on a pair.

Brendan walked over, and Naomi turned to look out the window. "I couldn't sleep."

Brendan stood beside her and looked out the window before shifting his gaze to her. He noticed that her ring finger dswollen and knew instantly that Naomi had tried taking off the ring but failed. At that same time, Naomi was also observing Brendan. She knew he was looking at her finger.
