Boomerang Love

Brendan continued to remain silent.

Seeing his silence, Heather's temper flared up. "What's wrong with Naomi? In terms of looks, figure, education, and family background, who else is better than her? Why can't you appreciate her?

"Besides, didn't you choose to marry her yourself? You went through with the marriage, but now you're treating her like this. Don't you have any decency?

"Why did you even agree to this marriage in the first place?

"You've been married for over two years, but how often have you returned home? Every time, it's Naomi who takes the initiative. Do you have any shame?

"Mason advised you to treat Naomi better. And in response, you send him to the plateau to build Hope Elementary School? The Ludwig family doesn't have anyone as unruly as you."

Brendan's head was buzzing. He rubbed his nose and looked at Heather.

When Heather met his gaze with widened eyes, she angrily said, "What's with that look? Should I also go to build Hope Elementary School?"

Brendan replied, "I don't have the guts to do that.”

Yes, they had been married for over two years, and it was true that Naomi had always taken the initiative.

However, there were reasons behind Naomi's initiative and her decision to marry him. Everyone in both families and anyone who was aware of their relationship knew the reasons. Everyone knew her motives.

If Naomi had been a bit more genuine, if "that incident hadn't occurred, if those things hadn't happened. then he wouldn't be in this situation.

Brendan didn't want to argue with Heather, so he tried to placate her, saying, "We'll stay married, and we'll live happily together."

Heather's eyes instantly lit up. "What about having kids? Will I have a grandchild?"

Brendan replied, "No."

Heather exploded and once again gave him a few good hits with the feather duster. "I dare you to say that again! Say that you won't have children and see what happens!"This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, in Naomi's room, after Heather took Brendan away, Christine began wiping her tears and said, "Why couldn't you control your temper? Why did you agree to it?"

Naomi rolled her eyes. "Mom! We really are family. Why are you crying so early in the morning? Besides, guys like him are everywhere. What are you so worried about?"

After saying that, she handed Christine a tissue.

Christine took the tissue and wiped her tears, becoming even more saddened.

She said, "Did you forget what the psychic said? Are you trying to end the family legacy?"

Naomi was speechless.

Seeing Naomi's silence, Christine continued wiping her tears and said, "Although Brendan does tend to be a bit loose outside, we women also bear some responsibility for this. It's because we've failed to secure their love."

Naomi chuckled. "You really are my mom. You're better at brainwashing than anyone else."

Christine stopped her tears and asked, "What did you say?"

Naomi casually replied, "I said it's all my fault. I didn't manage to secure your son-in-law's love."

It was a good thing her father never fooled around. Otherwise, she'd be calling anyone "mom".

Naomi didn't argue with her.

Christine continued to wipe her tears. "You can't entirely blame yourself for this. Brendan has his share of responsibility, and those women outside are also to blame."

Naomi replied, "Indeed, this can't be blamed solely on me."

Ignoring Naomi's response, Christine continued, "Naomi, if a woman wants to hold onto a man's heart, she has to have his child. Otherwise, the man won't settle down."

Naomi couldn't agree with Christine's thoughts. Her child will be born for herself, not for anyone else.

Naomi remained silent.

Christine looked at her and asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"

Naomi replied, "You're right."

Christine continued to cry. "Naomi, I came here today to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. Don't even think about divorce. Your father and I will definitely not give you your household registration book if you

1. do.

"Your father insisted that you should have a child no matter how tough life gets. If you don't, what will you do when we're gone? You can't be left without anyone to take care of you."

Naomi said, "Alright, I'll have a child."

Christine abruptly stopped crying and said, "Naomi, you promised this yourself. Don't go back on your word."

Naomi tilted her head and rubbed her temple with one hand. "Yes, I promise."

Worried that Naomi was just placating her, Christine added, "Your father has been quite troubled lately with company matters. Don't cause him even more trouble."

Naomi immediately straightened up. "What's wrong with the company?"

She could choose not to have a child and tolerate frustration, but nothing could hinder her family journey to success of prevent them from making money. Every penny that Dennis earned now would be her retirement fund.

Christine replied, "I don't know the specifics, but it seems related to the Sabella family. So, don't cause your father any trouble."

Naomi nodded and said, "I got it."

With the assurance that Naomi tbe wouldn't insist on a divorce, Christine wiped her tears Just be sensible, and don't pick fights with Brendan.

Also, try to indulge him more."

Naomi agreed. "Okay."

Christine continued, "Well, I won't say much more. Let's go check on Brendan's situation."

As they were leaving, they coincidentally met Heather and Brendan coming out of the study. There were still a few marks from the feather duster on Brendan's face.

Seeing Naomi and Christine, Heather greeted them with a smile. "Christine, are we done here?"

Christine replied, "Yes, I gave her a good scolding."

Seeing the situation, Heather reached out and comforted Naomi. “Naomi, I just gave Brendan a good scolding, and Chloe has gone home too. I've Π had the entire house cleaned from top to bottom for you. If you still mind, we can consider moving to a different house."

Naomi yawned replied, "There's no need to change the house."

Heather, in a good mood, reassured her, "Anyway, whatever you decide is fine.

We'll listen to you."

Seeing that Naomi was completely ignoring Brendan, Christine nudged her in the waist and said, "Naomi, Brendan is looking at you. Say something to him." Naomi winced at the prodding and then looked toward Brendan.

As their eyes met, Naomi couldn't help but feel satisfied when she saw the marks from the feather duster on Brendan's face.

With her hands in the pockets of her pajamas, she looked at Brendan and said,

"You touched me a few times last night. Settle the bill." Heather and Christine were initially taken aback, but then their faces turned bright red.
