Brendan walked toward Ronald and patted his shoulder. “I’m counting on you, my dear Ronald.”
“Brendan, are you annoyed that Naomi’s making you prepare the divorce papers? If so, I’ll let her know to get it done herself! She’s a lawyer, so it should be easy for her to prepare them,” Ronald begged.
Brendan grasped Ronald’s shoulder and said, “You’ve done well. But please don’t meddle in our business anymore.”

Brendan had never wanted to divorce Naomi. He had never mentioned a word about divorce before, even if he had said some terrible things to her over the past two years. :
Ronald had said that he would become a spy to find out Naomi’s thoughts. Not only did he add insult to injury, but he had also spouted nonsense to make things even worse.
Naomi received a call from Ronald. On the other end, she heard Jason urging Ronald to get on the train.
e take good
Ronald was bawling and telling Naomi to come and rescue him. But Naomi said with pity, “Poor Ronald, please for your return. If your mom disowns you when you get back, I guess I can reluctantly take you in as my son.”
“Please, Naomi, save me. Please ask Brendan to reconsider his decision,” Ronald whined.
“Mr. Ludwig, we have to go,” Jason told Ronald. Then, Ronald’s phone was hung up
care of yourself. I’ll be waiting
Naomi pondered as she listened to the beeping sound of the phone. Why didn’t Brendan forgive Ronald even when she had agreed to the divorce?
But alas, she couldn’t think of any reason. She would just have to visit Ronald on her day off.
She thought her relationship with Brendan had slightly improved, but now it was back to square one.
Although Brendan had an affair and never came home, he had never said anything about divorce.
Two days later, Naomi had just finished a civil dispute case and was leaving the court. She received a call from Reuben inviting her to attend a welcome home party for Maximus the following night.
“I have a court case tomorrow. Is it alright if I go after that’s over?” Naomi asked.
Reuben answered.
Maximus was 29
9 years old, the same age as Reuben, but older than Naomi and the others. They had known each other since they were little.
It had been two years since he left. Naturally, everyone would want to throw a huge party to welcome him back.
The next day, Naomi went straight to the bar after the court case.
When she entered the bar, she saw that everyone was in the midst of having fun. Mason’s voice filled the whole bar.
Mason had suggested a second round of drinks. Otherwise, the party would have been over much earlier.
Naomi saw some unfamiliar faces there. She saw Brendan with acute innocent–looking girl beside him. But she was already used to seeing this scene.
“Naomi, come and have a seat here,” Bailey shouted and waved toward Naomi, She followed the voice and moved toward Bailey.
Brendan glanced at Naomi from his seat nearby. He was still angry over the incident a few days ago.
The girl saw Brendan looking at Naomi. She also took a few glances at her.
With such beauty and elegance, it was no wonder that Brendan would look at her.
Maximus was curious when he saw Brendan ignoring Naomi, but Naomi acted like she didn’t know Brendan either. He knew their relationship wasn’t doing well. But he didn’t think that they would just ignore each other.
“Hi, Maximus,” Naomi greeted.
“Hey, have you eaten yet?” Maximus asked.
“Yeah, right before I came here,” Naomi answered.
“Should I excuse myself so that the two of you can talk?” Bailey smiled and asked, as she was seated between the both of them. Maxianus siniled without replying
