Boomerang Love

Even if he wished to appease God, that also depended on how he felt in the moment, let alone when it came to his grandfather. Who would have the time to pacify them daily?

Naomi gave Brendan a thumbs-up for his nonchalance. "That's awesome."

Then, she continued, "I would find you even more awesome if you stopped seeking me out."

Brendan stuffed a piece of raw luncheon meat into her mouth. Naomi was about to spit it out but swallowed it when she found it tasted good.

Before long, Brendan brought a bowl of pasta into the living room. Naomi didn't care for manners in front of Brendan. She took her fork and began eating.

Brendan sat opposite her with disdain written all over his face. "You really don't have any manners."

Naomi ignored him. She scrolled through her phone in one hand while slurping on her pasta with the other. She didn't even look at him.

Upon seeing this, he took her phone.

Naomi raised her head to see his dark expression. She said dismissively, "If you like looking through my phone, go ahead." As she said this, she stuffed a huge bite of pasta into her mouth.

Brendan stopped glaring at her and began examining the contents of her phone.

He looked through her photo album, audio recordings, and call records. There was nothing other than work there.

Then, he went through her WhatsApp conversation records from top to bottom. Most of it was still work. Other than that, her conversations were mostly with her mother, Ronald, and Bailey.

She didn't contact Maximus often. In fact, they had never messaged each other before.

However, he saw she had pinned her conversations with her parents, Ronald, and Bailey, as well as their common group chat. But his chat was nowhere to be found. He felt displeasure rise in his heart.

Naomi picked her phone up and took a look. When she saw that Brendan had pinned his chat, she said smilingly, "Have you any dignity?"

Brendan raised his head. "Why don't you try unpinning it?"

Naomi gave him a fake smile and immediately unpinned his chat. She even waved her phone in front of his face on purpose.

Brendan looked at her for a moment. He then got up stiffly to take her pasta away from her.

Naomi used both hands to grab onto the bowl and slurped the rest of the sauce. "Alright, I'm full."

Brendan thought too little of her if he wanted his chat to be pinned in exchange for a mere bowl of pasta.

Brendan was disdainful as he watched her grab the bowl to finish the sauce.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Within a few moments, the both of them went upstairs.

airs. Although Naomi locked her door, Brendan still managed to open it.

Naomi laid back down on her bed to continue sleeping. When she saw Brendan walk in her expression changed drastically. "When will you give up?"

Before Brendan had the chance to explain, she picked up her phonen dismissively. "I'Epin your chat, okay? Get but now. I still need to meet the perpetrator in prison tomorrow."

Brendan ignored her slight impatience. Instead, he placed a glass of warm water and a few pills on her bedside table..

"Gastric medicine."

Brendan left the medicine there. Naomi watched as he remained standing in pla
