Boomerang Love (Naomi and Brendan)

Chapter 25

Naomi looked up and saw a black car parked in front of her. The rear window was open. It was Maximus who had called out to her.

The next second, Nam sailed and greeted, "It's you!"

"It's me," Maximus said. "Let ne send you home.""

Upon hearing that, Naomi didn't move.

H

Sering Naomi not making any move to get into the car, Maximus explained, "I'm going to Yellowind Bay, so we'll be using the same coure," It was obvious that he knew about Naomi's current situation. Since Maximus had insisted, his secretary got out of the car and opened the door for her. Naomi had no choice but to get into the car. Alter Naomi got into the car, Maximus said happily, "Long time no see. "Long time no see," Naomi responded with a smile.

Two years ago, before she and Brendan had gotten married, Maximus had come to her family to propose marriage, but she had refused.

Then, Maxims was transferred. Before he left Ashburg, he had wanted to meet up with her, but she had already gone to Sanya with Brendan at the time. So, they had last met each other two years ago. As the car started, Naomi changed the topic to ask about Maximus himself. "Are you back for good this time, or are you just back for a vacation?"

"I've been transferred back. The official notice will be issued within the next few days," Maximus answered.

"You must have been promoted then. Congratulations

Seeing that Maximus was in a good mood tonight, the secretary turned to Naomi and said, "Ms. Goodwin, Mr. Martin has been promoted. He's now the mayor."

Naomi couldn't help but laugh and say, "Since you've become the deputy, I guess I'll have to fawn over you more from now on."

Listening to Naomi's words, Maximus laughed too. "Ill be very happy to see you do that."

"I hope you won't get bored of me," Naomi said jokingly.

Maximus knew Naomi very well. He knew that she wouldn't curry favor with anyone, no matter how much power that person possessed

Meanwhile, Brendan was at the hospital

When the doctor finished treating the wound on Chloe's forehead, she looked at Brendan embarrassedly and apologized, "I'm sorry for causing your trouble and wasting your time again, Brendan." Brendan didn't respond to her words but only asked, "Do you have any other injuries?!

Chloe shook her head. "No."

"Let me send you home," Brendan said.

On the way to Chloe's house, Brendan remained silent, as if it were just empty air beside him.

Chloe held the seat belt tightly with both hands and stared at Brendan for a while She then said, "I don't know what's wrong with my mother these days. Her condition seems to be getting worse, and she's actin "It's such a relief that Caleb is staying at his teacher's house. I can't imagine how shocked he would be if he saw what happened today."

Chloe's forehead injury had been caused by her mother,

Jason was helping to deal with her mother's affairs, so Brendan had no choice but to accompany Chloe to the hospital

Holding the steering wheel with both hands, Brendan turned to look at Chloe and asked, "Have you ever considered sending her to a hospital?"

The hospital Brendan was referring to was a mental hospital

Chloe shook her head. "Forget about it. I'll take care of her myself!"

Brendan reminded, "The last time you checked your condition, the result wasn't good. It'll be easier for you to send her to the hospital."

Chloe took a deep breath and said, "If I send her in, she won't have the chance to leave anymore. She'll no longer be able to live a normal life, so I'd rather take care of her myself. I believe she'll get better" Listening to Chloe, Brendan stopped giving suggestions.

When both of them fell into silence, Brendan's phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call and heard Mason's voice. "Brendan, Maximus is back."

Hearing this news, Brendan's expression darkened. Its mood was ruined.

Then, Mason spoke agam. "I saw him driving Naomi back just now."

Brides expression darned more. He hung up the phone and threw the phone on the dashboard.

It had to be related to Naomi

Brendan for more than ten years, but she had never seen Brendan getting angry for anyone else except Naomi

If it was for someone else, then it had something to do with Neom too.

Chloe suddenly remembered something

There was another woman as well. A woman who was capable yet powerful

Chloe stood there until Brendan's car completely disappeared from her sight before turning around and heading into her house.

Around 20 minutes later, Brenden returned home with a dark expression.

Jennifer asked in surprise, "Mr. Ludwig, didn't you and Mrs. Ludwig go out together? Why did you come back alone?"

expression became even darker. He then asked, "Hasn't Naomi returned yet?"

"Not yet." Jennifer answered.

Once Jennifer finished speaking, Brendan loosened his shirt collar

and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit the cigarette and went upstairs.. Brendan stood in front of the bedroom window, blowing smoke rings as he looked out of it. He became angry when he thought of t Just as he was about to pick up his phone and ask Mason to check on Naomi, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Seeing Brendan at home, Naomi exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't know you were already back!"

Even though Brendan had left her alone earlier, Naomi didn't argue with him.

However, Brendan didn't let Naomi off.

He abruptly stubbed out the remaining half of the cigarette in the ashtray and asked, "How did you get back?"
