Chapter 88
Naomi had searched several places but couldn't find anyone, not even a mosquito. She said, "Brendan, if you don't find anyone here today, you owe me an explanation."
Brendan responded, "Naomi, you don't need to be so defensive."
Seeing that Brendan was unconvinced, she continued helping him search.
Meanwhile, Jason, who was waiting at the door, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard. Naomi repeatedly calling for her "lover". When it came to arguing and bickering, Brendan was no match for Naomi.
As Brendan rummaged through the drawers and closets, he couldn't help but feel uneasy whenever he heard Naomi calling out for her lover.
Looking at his expression, it seemed as if he wouldn't rest until he found someone. However, even though the both of them were searching, he didn't find anyone, and his anger gradually subsided.
"Where are you hiding, lover?"
Unable to contain himself, Brendan finally snapped, "Naomi, shut your mouth!" Naomi looked at him with a half-smile, "Brendan, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. Don't try to turn the tables on me. You brought someone else with you to the banquet, and now you're searching for a lover here? How shameless."
Brendan couldn't be bothered to argue with her and continued walking toward the fourth bedroom.
Naomi followed him closely, her heart tense. She opened the bedroom door, calling out, "Lover, where are you?"
She checked under the bed and bathroom and finally opened the closet. After a brief search, she closed the closet door and said, "Brendan, just tell me what's on your mind. Don't play games."
The entire house had been thoroughly searched, and Brendan had found nothing. He stared expressionlessly at Naomi for a while, then calmly walked to the edge of the bed.
He glanced at the neatly made bed and finally fixed his gaze on the foot of the bed. Naomi watched him attentively, waiting for an explanation.
After a long, silent moment of locking eyes with Naomi, Brendan was about to leave when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. The next moment, he bent down and reached out to pick up a short strand of hair from the foot of the bed.
Naomi remained composed and claimed, "That's mine."
Brendan couldn't even believe anything she said at that moment. He walked closer to the wardrobe, pulled Naomi's arm to move her aside, and opened the closet.
At the top of the wardrobe, Ronald stared at Brendan, stunned, as if he were a statue himself.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
When Brendan saw someone inside the closet, his entire body went cold. He felt as if he had been drenched in cold water. However, when he realized that it was Ronald hiding there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how unreliable Naomi might be, she wouldn't be involved with Ronald. Even if Ronald had borrowed some courage from him, he wouldn't dare to do anything with Naomi.
The two cousins faced each other, and eventually, it was Ronald who spoke first. He called out, "Brendan."
Brendan had his hands in his pockets and casually replied, "Are you coming down on your own, or should I invite you down?"
Ronald hurriedly said, "Let me. I'll do it on my own."
It would be better to come down voluntarily.
After a moment, the three of them returned to the living room. Ronald confessed "Brendan, I was just being alsmart ass. I was just deliberately teasing you.
On the other side of the door, Jason couldn't believe his ears his ears "Mr. Ronald, weren't you at Hope Elementary School?"
At the same time, he never expected that there really would be a man hiding in Naomi's room.
Ronald continued, "I didn't feel well due to the change in environment, so I came back to rest."
Brendan sat on the couch, his legs spread apart with his arms resting on his thighs. He looked at Ronald calmly and asked, "What can you'do to make me believe that you were just running your mouth and that nothing has happened between you both?"
