Boomerang Love

Despite Naomi's resistance, she couldn't escape Brendan's desires and was again taken by him.

"Naomi, Brendan and Sophia are official. Sophia posted it on her socials. And the Ludwig family acknowledged their relationship too."

Bailey's news had shocked Naomi.

She always thought she and Brendan were a couple, believing that they were already lovers. She stared at Bailey's phone for a long time before forcing a smile. "They look good together."

Her heart throbbed in pain. Despite her efforts to conceal it, her voice and body were still trembling violently.

Then, Naomi jerked up from bed. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Using the faint light from the night lamp, she glanced at the pillow, where Brendan was sleeping soundly.

Naomi propped herself up and took some time to compose herself. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and quietly got out of bed.

It had been so long since she had dreamed about the past.

She went to pour a glass of water and noticed the wedding ring Brendan had put on her ring finger.

Naomi brought the cup to her lips and stared at the ring for a long time. Then she drank the cup and went to the study next door.

She stood in front of the window, looking at the ring on her ring finger. Why didn't she notice it was a heart-shaped ring? The past was coming back to haunt her right after she put the ring on.

Naomi stared at the ring for a long time. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the bright moon outside.

There was a full moon tonight, just like the moon four years ago.

After the Ludwig family and Sophia had confirmed their relationship, Naomi never visited Brendan again.

And Brendan didn't come to find her either. He probably didn't think it was necessary to explain anything to her!

After all, they had never been together nor confessed. They always referred to each other as just friends.

A week later, Maximus had invited her to dinner, and that was when they met again.

At that time, Naomi didn't want to go, but Brendan and Sophia had just made their relationship public. She would look petty if she didn't go.

The least she could do was to lose with pride. So she went.

She chatted with Bailey and Ronald all evening. But she never once glanced at Brendan, completely removing herself from the picture.

Strictly speaking, she was never part of the picture, to begin with.

Later, she was overwhelmed by the constant chatter and went out to get some air.

She had propped her arms on the balcony's railings. The late summer breeze felt cool against her skin.

Naomi finished the last sip of her beer and suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

Feeling tipsy, she threw the empty bottle aside and turned around, only to see Brendan approaching her.

At that time, Brendan was 23 years old, and she was 19. She was still in her second year of colege. Meanwhile, Brendan had been working at the Ludwig Corporation for almost two years. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
