Chapter 2
Eventually, it was Bailey, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, who broke the
deadlock. "Naomi, this young man is so sincere. Don't let him down and waste a chance with such a cute guy."
When Bailey finished, Brendan came back to his senses. He sneered, "She has been lacking love for such a long time. It's indeed time for her to find a man and get some."
After hearing Brendan's words, Naomi stood up charmingly with a generous smile. "Mason, Reuben, you heard what he said. I'll go and get some love then. You can continue with the game."
Then, she turned to look at Aaron who was beside her, and said, "Come on, cutie. Let's go and get a room."
"Okay, Ms. Goodwin," Aaron responded. Then he leaned in to whisper a few words into Naomi's ears.
"Really? I'll have to take a look at your skills later," Naomi replied.
No one else in the room dared to say anything.
Naomi took the opening Brendan gave her to leave the room. Bailey also left the room with the other young man.
After they left, Brendan could no longer keep his gentleman's facade and kicked the poker table over, scattering the cards onto the ground.
Chloe stood beside him and her face turned pale. She held his arm and called out, "Brendan."
Chloe was frightened. Mason said it wasn't the best time for her to be there, so he asked someone else to send her home.
Naomi was just outside the door, but she didn't look back even once. She was asking the two young men what skills they knew, what position was the most comfortable, and if the pay for doing this job was good.
Bailey, on the other hand, had turned around and saw the scene in the room. A smile spread on her face and she felt her anger toward Brendan was somewhat appeased.
Not long later, when Naomi came to the door of another deluxe suite with a key card, a frosty -looking Brendan stalked toward her.
He would never let Naomi sleep with another man. Even if he didn't want to sleep with her, no one else could touch her.
When Naomi saw Brendan, she greeted him like she would an acquaintance, "What a coincidence! Are you getting a room here too? Where's Chloe? Why didn't you bring her with you as well?"
Naomi didn't wait for Brendan to respond and continued, "We're husband and wife. Even though I can't sleep with you, t least let me see how well you do in bed. Otherwise, if we divorce in the future and someone else asks me if you perform well in bed, I can't even answer."
Naomi was teasing Brendan while Bailey was looking at Naomi with a doting smile. Brendan said, "You're such a bitch, Naomi."
Naomi retorted smilingly as if she was unaffected, "If I wasn't a bitch, would I get a marriage certificate with you and sleep in the bed of your house?"
Naomi and Brendan only got the marriage certificate done and didn't hold a wedding ceremony. They had planned to hold one, but Brendan canceled it at the last minute.
This matter had always been a dagger to Naomi's heart.
And because of this, not many people knew about their marriage.
Aaron saw that Naomi's way was blocked by Brendan and he heard her mention a marriage certificate, so he walked up to her and suggested, "Ms. Goodwin, why don't you-"
However, before he could finish his words, Brendan kicked him very hard in the chest.
Aaron's face turned pale and he stumbled a few steps back, falling heavily to the ground. Naomi's smile faded and she warned, "That's enough, Brendan."
In response to Naomi's protection of Aaron, Brendan pinched her cheek. "A guy like this can fucking catch your eyes now, Naomi? You can bear with someone like this?"
Naomi pulled Brendan's arm away and answered, "It has nothing to do with you whether I can bear with him or not. You can enjoy yourself in your own way and I can enjoy myself in my own way. I think it's very fair and we don't have to interfere with each other."
Brendan saw red. He put a hand around her throat and choked her.
Naomi's face instantly turned red as her neck was squeezed.
Bailey could tell that Brendan was really angry. She quickly grabbed his wrist and reminded him, "You're going too far by hurting her, Brendan."
As Bailey finished speaking, Mason rushed over with Reuben Martin.
They saw what was happening and immediately pulled Brendan away from Naomi.
Then they looked toward Aaron, who had fallen on the ground, and his coworker, and quickly asked them to leave.
They were afraid that someone might actually get killed here.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
When Naomi finally gathered her breath, she raised her right leg without saying a word and kicked Brendan hard in his abdomen.
This time, it was Brendan's face that became as white as a sheet from the sudden attack.
Mason and Reuben had been standing there the whole time but were too stunned to act at that moment.
They knew Naomi was a fierce character, but they didn't expect her to be so fierce.
Naomi covered her neck with her hands and glowered at Brendan. She warned icily, "I dare you to touch me again."
Naomi's eyes were full of hatred, which made Brendan's heart ache.
He also realized that he had been impulsive just now. So he looked at Naomi for a while, before silently turning away with his hands in his pocket.
Looking at the situation, Reuben pushed the two of them and persuaded them, "All right. We've been messing around all night. You can talk about it when you get home."
Reuben's words eased the awkward atmosphere. Brendan silently placed a hand on the back of Naomi's neck and brought her out of there.
When they reached the parking lot downstairs, Brendan pushed Naomi into the passenger seat. As soon as Naomi got in, she turned her face toward the window.
Brendan started the car and they were silent for quite a while. He opened the car window and lit a cigarette.
The car became smoky and Brendan suddenly said, "You're daring enough to sleep with anyone. Aren't you afraid you'll contract diseases?"
Naomi answered nonchalantly, "I'll use a condom."
Brendan's face darkened and asked, "Are you a man? Do you have a dick? How are you going to use a condom?"
When Brendan was done snapping at Naomi, her phone rang. She took her phone out of her bag and saw that it was Heather who was calling her.
She exhaustedly let out a breath before answering the phone, "Mom."
Heather's voice came from the other end of the phone, asking, "Have you found Brendan, Naomi?"
Naomi leaned one of her palms against her forehead and held her phone in another. She answered languidly, "I've found him. We're on the way home."
Naomi didn't mention a word about their argument at the hotel.
When Heather heard Brendan was going back, she replied, "You have to seize the
opportunity tonight, Naomi. It's been two years. You and Brendan should have a child already. Otherwise, if Brendan wants to get a divorce a year later, you won't even have a trump card."
Heather's nagging made Naomi's head hurt.
It had been two years. Heather kept forcing her to have a child, but Brendan didn't even
want her to get pregnant. She almost had a mental breakdown.
The point was, she was so desperate to have a child, but Brendan wasn't!
Naomi didn't answer Heather promptly. Heather noticed and asked, "Do you not want to have a child, Naomi?"
Naomi answered, "Yes, yes, yes. I want to have a child, Mom."
Naomi's perfunctoriness made Brendan glance at her indifferently. He floored the gas pedal and sped up.
Not long after that, they reached home.
The house was quiet. When Naomi finished taking a shower in the bathroom, she couldn't help but think about Heather's advice and her mother's concerns every now and then.
She made up her mind and walked to her closet. Naomi picked a set of black sexy lace underwear.
She had just put on her panties and didn't get to wear the tulle jacket when the bedroom door suddenly opened. She turned her head and found Brendan coming back to the bedroom.
