Chapter 100
Naomi, who was wrapped in her blanket, was too lazy to even open her eyes.
Looking for some free foreplay? It was amazing how he could come up with that.
But just now, after their argument and with the recent frequency of their fights, she wasn't as resolute as before.
Was she really sure she still wanted to have a child? Besides, who knew if he would change his mind and give her a few birth control pills the next day?
"Naomi!" Brendan's voice exclaimed, louder than before.
Naomi let out a heavy sigh. Well, there was no way he could wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.
Seeing Naomi wrapped up like a cocoon, Brendan's face turned even paler, feeling like he had been completely ignored.
Bending down to pick up his discarded sleepwear, Brendan angrily put it on and said, "Naomi, don't think there will be a next time. Don't bring up the topic of having a child with me again."
Naomi still didn't open her eyes. She figured she would just tease him whenever she felt like it. Besides, he still had his hands, right?
Last time, he had eaten so many aphrodisiacs at the old Ludwig mansion, but he didn't even touch her. This time, he could just take care of it himself in the bathroom!
Normally, Naomi didn't hold grudges, but if she did, she would definitely seek revenge.
When Naomi woke up the next morning, Brendan was already gone from her side, just like usual.
As she got herself ready and went downstairs for breakfast, the housekeeper, Jennifer, asked her in a hushed voice, "Mrs. Ludwig, did you and Mr. Ludwig have another argument last night? Mr. Ludwig seemed quite upset when he left this morning, and he didn't even eat breakfast."
Naomi replied with an air of nonchalance, "I just had my fun with him last night."
Jennifer was speechless.
She couldn't quite understand young people these days.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Brendan's foreplay last night had made Naomi sleep very comfortably throughout the night, without even a single dream.
At the same time, she had a newfound appreciation for Brendan. She had originally thought that he would be boring and that, given his temperament, he would only care about his own pleasure in bed.
However, he turned out to be quite skilled, much better than she had imagined. But how he would perform in a real situation remained to be seen.
Naomi had a spring in her step, and Jennifer remarked, "Mrs. Ludwig, you seem to be in a good mood today."
Naomi replied, "It's alright."
Not long after, when she had finished her breakfast and arrived at the law firm, the department head enthusiastically called her over, saying, "Naomi, the office has received several cases, and the clients are saying that it would be best if you could be their attorney. Come and discuss the cases."
"Sure," Naomi agreed, already suspecting that it was due to Maximus' influence.
Putting her bag on her desk, Naomi was about to head to the department head's office when another colleague suddenly stood up after answering a phone call and said, "Ms. Goodwin, there's a call from the Ludwig Corporation. They said that they have some legal matters that require your immediate attention."
Could the timing be any more coincidental?
Upon hearing her colleague's message, the department head had no choice but to say, "Naomi, then your head over to the Ludwig Corporation first. We can discuss those cases after you return."
Naomi picked up her bag again and said, "Alright, I'll head over there first."
As soon as she walked down the stairs, she spotted Brendan's black Maybach parked outside the lawn e
firm Jason, who was in the car, saw Naomi approaching and quickly got out of the car to open the door for her, saying, "Ms. Goodwin."
Seeing Jason waiting downstairs, Naomi was well aware of what Brendan was getting at. She had already suspected that the law firm had taken on some cases, and it seemed that Brendan wanted to prevent her from getting involved with Maximus.
A moment later, the car started, and Naomi smiled softly, saying, "You have quite a few informants, and they're quick with the news."
She hadn't even had a chance to learn about the cases, but Brendan had already stationed someone downstairs.
Jason forced a smile and said, "Ms. Goodwin, I don't understand what you're talking about."
Naomi teased, "Keep up with the act."
Jason continued to give her a silly smile.
It wasn't until Naomi dropped the o'm subject that Jason spoke again, saying, "Ms. Goodwin, in fact, some higher-ups have approached the Ludwig Corporation about the South Glistenville project."
After Jason said this, Naomi turned to look at him, showing interest in the topic.
