Naomi turned to Christine. She was sure Christine wasn't just her for a simple visit.

"Mom," Brendan also greeted.

"Hello!" Christine nodded. She was surprised to bump into Brendan today.

In the past, Brendan was rarely home whenever she visited Naomi. So Heather wasn't lying when she said the couple's relationship improved.

After Brendan greeted Christine, his phone rang. It was a work call from Reuben.

"Hello, Reuben." After answering the phone, Brendan nodded at Christine before leaving the living room.

As soon as Brendan left, Christine pulled Naomi closer and asked, "Naomi, you seem to be getting along well with Brendan. Any signs of pregnancy?"

"It won't happen so soon." Naomi looked disgusted. She knew Christine didn't come just to visit. She was here to pressure her into giving birth.

It had been over two years. Without her strong will, she would have been driven crazy by the pressure from both families long ago.

Naomi's denial disappointed Christine. She whispered to Naomi, "Naomi, you've been married to Brendan for two and a half years.

"You really need to hurry up with this. If you remained childless after the divorce, you would have wasted three years of your life."

Christine usually kept things simple. As long as Naomi could have a child and ensure an heir for the Goodwin family, she wouldn't force Naomi and Brendan to stay together.

"I won't let myself have a losing hand," Naomi hummed. "Don't worry, Mom!"

"Grandpa and Grandma are also worried about this. And I..."

Christine didn't finish her sentence when Naomi interrupted, "Tell them I will definitely have a child. I wouldn't be able to face my family otherwise."

"You brat. Well, as long as you understand the importance of the child. I brought some supplements for you and Brendan. Remember to eat them."

"Got it." Naomi nodded.

Christine was relieved by Naomi's obedience. She glanced at Brendan, who had just finished his call and was coming over.

"Mom, you should stay the night!" Brendan said.

"Dennis is still waiting for me back home!" Christine glanced at the time, "It's getting late. I'll head back first. Rest early, you two."

Brendan and Naomi sent Christine off.

Watching Christine's car race into the night, Brendan stuffed his hands in his pockets and turned to Naomi. "Your mom still doesn't see me as family."

Brendan might seem nonchalant most of the time, but he could still pick up social cues quite well.

Naomi withdrew her gaze. She crossed her arms and headed back into the house. "You need to work harder then!"

He used to visit her parents before they got married. But after they married, the visits stopped. Naomi could tell why Christine felt distant from Brendan.

Brendan followed Naomi into the house. When he recalled how Naomi stated he was way better than Henry, he stepped forward and carried Naomi.

Naomi was startled and reflexively hugged his neck. "What are you doing?"

Brendan retorted, "Even your mom is urging for grandkids. What do you think we should do next?"

Even though he hadn't heard the conversation between Christine and Naomi, he guessed that Christine was here to urge them to have children.

Naomi smiled and hugged his neck. "You sure know how to please your mother- in-law."

They had already solidified their relationship as husband and wife. And Naomi was set on having children.

Otherwise, as Christine said, she would have wasted three years of her life. All she would gain from this was the reputation of being a divorcee.

"I haven't showered," Naomi said. "Let's go to the bathroom."

Naomi turned to Christine. She was sure Christine wasn't just her for a simple visit.
