Boomerang Love

Brendan was wearing light gray pajamas and was toweling his half-dried hair. The first few buttons of his pajamas were left unbuttoned and his pectoral huscles were peeking out from the opening.

H He dried his hair nonchalantly while deadpanning, "You don't have to do that. It's useless even if you're naked."

The way Brendan put it so lightly made Naomi's face gloomy.

Naomi slowly put on the talle jacket and said calmly, "De cooperative and complete the mission, Brendan. No matter what you want to do in the future, i won't care or disturb your life."

Then she made another suggestion, "If you really don't want to do this, we try having a test tube baby instead."

As Naomi finished, Brendan threw the towel on the ground and grabbed her chin. He asked, "Do you think of me as a walking sperm bank, Naomi?

A walking sperm bank?

Naomi was forced to look at Brendan and she couldn't retort.

They were staring at each other. When he found himself in her eyes, Brendan leaned closer and closer to Naomi It was so close that he almost kissed her lips.

As Brendan was leaning closer, Naomi subconsciously straggled.

Just then, Brendan came back to his senses. He stood straight and said frostily, stily. "So you want to have i e my baby, Naomi?"

He paused for a while before continuing, "You're not qualified."

She wasn't qualified?

It made Naomi's heart sink It was because he didn't like her. Their marriage was arranged by their parents. It had come about because both of the families' companies wanted to work together.

And that's why Brendan looked down on her.

Then he placed his right hand on the back of Naomi's neck again and dragged her toward him. He looked into her eyes and reminded her, "You have another year of time. If you can't get me to sleep with you this year, go back to where you came from."

After that, he turned around and walked to the closet. He picked out a dark- colored suit and changed into it. Then he put his gold-rimmed glasses on before leaving the room.

The bedroom door was slammed closed with a loud bang. Nauml feebly sat on the bed and leaned her right palm against her forehead She didn't know Brendan liked Chloe, If she had known this before, she wouldn't have agreed to marry Brendan when his father, Samuel Ludwig, suggested it.

bean Even if it meant she could never have a child and be a mother.

She sat on the bed for a while before taking out another set of normal sleepwear from the closet.

Although she was used to it, she felt like she failed as a woman every time Brendan rejected her. She had already gone that far, but Brendan still didn't want to sleep with her.

There was nothing else she could do, The next morning, when she woke up, Heather called her again.

"Mom."

"How was it with you and Brendan last night, Naomi? Did you two make peace?"

Naomi didn't know how to answer Heather's questions.

For the past two years, she was almost driven crazy by Heather, who kept asking her to get pregnant If she wanted to have grandchildren so much, she should have had more children in the beginning, Instead of pinning all her hopes on Brendan alone.

She remained silent for a r a while. In the end, she had no other choice but to say, "He left after staying for a while."

When Heather heard the two of them didn't sleep together again last night, and she lost another chance to be a grandmother, she felt hopeless.

She advised, "You have to care about Brendan more and be more initiative, Naomi."

Naomi thought she all but kneeled before Brendan and begged him to kindly sleep with her, how could she be more initiative?

She furrowed her brows and didn't know what to say. Heather was talking again, "You just don't care enough about Brendan. You can bring Brendan his lunch to the company later. Mrs. Ludwig is not insignificant. Don't let the others think that you're vulnerable."

Naand knew Heathe was talking about Chloe, who was working as Brendan's secretary in the company.

Even though she was very reluctant to do so, since Heather had called her and given her advice, she couldn't retuse her. So she got up and dressed bersell nicely. Then she went to the Ludwig Corporation in her car with the lunch that was prepared by their housekeeper.

"Do you think it's good if I modify it like this, Brendan? Should I put this..."

Nooral stood outside Brendan's office. Before she could knock on the door and enter, she heard Chloe's soft voice coming from inside.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

The office door was left open and Naomi quietly observed the room. She saw Brendan had @document in his hand like and@document at Chloe who was bending next to him, and explained, "This data is unreasonable. It'll cause safety problems for the project." [1

"And also this location in District D-" Brendan suddenly changed the subject. "You can bring a chair over and sit down."

Brendan's concern made Chloe smile. She pulled a chair from not far away over and sat down beside him.

Outside the door, Naomi couldn't help rolling her eyes.

She didn't know if the way Brendan and Chloe treated each other was normal, Nor did she know if it was normal for a secretary to sit beside her boss so closely.

But what she knew was that ever since she married Brendan, he had never talked to her in such a gentle tone.

Nor would he care if she was standing or sitting, kneeling or lying, alive or dead.

Last year when she had a car for accident, the doctor had asked her family members to come and sign some documents. She had called Brendan but he hung up on her.

After that, she was hospitalized for a few days, but Brendan still didn't know about this.

After waiting at the door for a while, Naomi knew that they wouldn't finish discussing in a short time.

She turned around and left with the lunchbox.

She was walking around downstairs when she passed by a drugstore and thought about Heather's advice. She then turned and headed back to the company.

Whether Brendan admitted it or not, she was the daughter-in-law of the Ludwig family and his legal wife.

Why did she have to hide when she had done nothing wrong?

So when Naomi returned to Brendan's office, she pushed the door open without overthinking it.

In the office, when Brendan and Chloe heard the sound, they raised their heads and looked toward the door.
