Boomerang Love

"Alright, Mom. I'll give a heads-up to my boss and head over earlier."

If Heather hadn't called to remind her, she would've forgotten about it entirely due to her being buried up to her ears in work.

Heather continued, "Later, Brendan will fetch you. Come back together."

"Alright." Naomi smiled and said, "If we manage to meet up, we'll go together."

After she finished, she hung up the phone and gave Michael a heads-up before clocking out early.

She'd only started the car for a while before Brendan called. He said, "I'm downstairs."

Naomi responded, "I'm arriving at the mansion."

Brendan was silent for a while. He then hung up abruptly. He didn't have to ask her about it. He knew that she had done so on purpose.

Inside her Audi, once Naomi saw that the call had ended, she threw her phone carelessly onto the dashboard.

"Naomi, you're here!"

"Naomi."

"Naomi."

Naomi had just stepped into the mansion when Heather came over to say hello cheerily. The elders of the Ludwig family greeted her as well.

Naomi smiled and said her greetings to everyone. When she entered the house, she saw that Mason and Reuben had arrived already. Her parents were also there.

After making her rounds, she found a spot in their courtyard and sat down to scroll through her phone.

Every year, they invited chefs from the best restaurants to cook for Fiona and Jackson in celebration of their birthdays. They held the celebration at home and only their closest friends and family came over.

Even if someone wanted to come, they wouldn't be able to.

"Naomi, what are you playing?"

"Naomi, this game is so fun!"

Naomi curled up in a lazy chair while on her phone. A few children crowded around her.

"I'm playing a game! Once I lose this match, I'll let you have a go." Naomi continued playing Snake.

At this moment, Heather came over and asked, "Naomi, why hasn't Brendan come yet?"

Naomi glanced at Heather and responded, "I informed my boss and came over early. He's on his way."

When Naomi finished, Heather's heart skipped a beat. Had they gotten into another argument? Hadn't they been getting along well before?

Heather didn't know about Brendan and Naomi's last disagreement.

Now, there were too many people around, making it Inappropriate for them to explore the topic. Thus, she didn't ask any further questions.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

However, she thought that Brendan had to have caused it. It must've also had something to do with Chloe.

As Naomi wanted to have children and had a forgiving personality, she wouldn't be the cause of any major problems.

While Heather was trying to figure out what they were arguing about, Brendan walked in leisurely.

He glanced coldly at Naomi. When he saw a bunch of children gathered around her he headed into the house without greeting her.

Heather observed them from afar. Seeing their behavior solidified her belief that they had probably argued.

As the sky darkened and the courtyard's temperatures dropped, Naomi led the group of children into the house.

However, she still didn't say hi to Brendan. She did her own thing, as old her though she didn't know him at all.
