Boomerang Love (Naomi and Brendan) Online Novel
Chapter 122

Chapter 122 

Brendan and Naomi had known each other for 23 years. They had been through many things together, along with the only one he couldn’t let go of until this very day. 

Naomi rested her hand on the edge of the bathtub. She fell silent for a moment before smiling. “Finish up soon. I’ll head out first.” 

As Naomi moved to leave, Brendan reached out and grabbed her arm. “Stay with me a bit longer.” 

Naomi turned around and met his gaze before eventually sitting back down. For a while, they sat in silence, Brendan in the bathtub and Naomi nearby. 

As Brendan’s thoughts seemed to weigh heavily on him tonight, Naomi set aside her usual banter and sat quietly beside him. 

“Naomi,” Brendan called out, resulting in a simple hum from Natalie. But Brendan merely stared at her. 

Their eyes met, and seeing Brendan hesitate to speak, Naomi smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry! Even if you hadn’t made it, I’d have taken care of myself.” 

She wasn’t dependent on anyone like Chloe or Sophia. She could protect herself. 

Naomi’s words lingered in Brendan’s mind, easing some of his worries. But there were still walls between them, and they couldn’t reclaim what they once had. 

Her kindness stemmed from indifference, and marrying him was just a means to have a child. 

The next morning, Naomi woke to find Brendan already up and dressed by the closet. 

Naomi clutched the pillow and watched him for a moment. “Thanks for last night.” 

Brendan glanced her way. “You’re awake. I have an early meeting. You’ll need to head to the law firm on 

your own.” 

“Okay!” Naomi replied softly. 

But after Brendan left, he didn’t return for several days. Each time their relationship showed signs of improvement, he withdrew as if he was deliberately holding back. 

That morning, as Naomi prepared to leave, Ronald burst in energetically. “Hello, Naomi.” 

Naomi yawned. “It’s so early. What’s up?” 

“Just wanted to check on you.” Ronald grinned. “And give you the report on that night.” 

Since Ronald was here, Naomi was too lazy to drive on her own and had Ronald take her to the law firm 

instead. 

On the way there, Ronald’s chatters filled the silence. “Naomi, Brendan really let loose that night. The doctor said that Tom wouldn’t be leaving the hospital anytime soon. He’s stuck there!”

“Why didn’t you guys try to stop him? Things could’ve ended badly.” Naomi shook her head. 

“We tried! But Brendan was in a shitty mood that night. Tom was just unlucky.” As Ronald finished, Naomi’s phone rang. It was Maximus. 

Naomi answered the call. “Hello, Maximus.” 

“I’m fine. It’s all sorted now.” Naomi smiled. 

“Tonight? I can’t. I have a business trip this afternoon,” she sighed. 

After a brief exchange, they hung up. 

Beside her, Ronald eyed her suspiciously. “Was that Maximus? Is he inviting you out? Naomi, did you agree to a divorce because Maximus is back?” 

Naomi threw her shoe at Ronald. “Not even Brendan cares about this. Stop meddling in my affairs. Eyes 

on the road.” 

Ronald caught the shoe and said seriously, “Naomi, Brendan is no saint, but neither is Maximus. Don’t jump from one hell to another. He’s not right for you. He’s too serious.” 

Naomi shrugged. “No one’s perfect. Do you think you’re better than them?” 

Ronald boasted, “Definitely.” 

Naomi chuckled. “Say that to Brendan’s face.” 

Ronald huffed. “I will. I’m not afraid.” 

Despite that, he never once made a move to call Brendan until after dropping Naomi off. When he finally did, a cold voice answered, “What do you want?”
