Boomerang Love (Naomi and Brendan)

Chapter 29

Ronald cleared his throat and sat up properly before continuing, "Naomi also

said that this isn't the life you wanted. Since you'll be the one turning her from a maiden to a divorced woman, you'll obviously have to compensate her financially.

"If she's satisfied with the money, she won't go near you anymore. And so that things aren't awkward in the future, she won't ever talk about her past with you." Brendan's heart sank further the more he listened to Ronald. It sounded like Ronald and Naomi were blaming him.

But in reality, Naomi had merely said that she would sign the divorce papers when it was ready. However, Ronald felt like he had accomplished something and decided to exaggerate her speech. Ronald saw that Brendan was rendered speechless and continued, "Brendan, Naomi has given in a lot over the years. Since you're so rich and capable, how about you be more generous for this divorce?

"At least if someone brings this up in the future, they'll praise you for your generosity instead of remembering that it's because you've cheated on her."

Ronald kept babbling, "Also, you're cheating with someone worse than Naomi. Don't you think that she'll be embarrassed? You've got to give her more money to make her feel better."

Brendan looked at Ronald without saying anything. He wondered why his cousin was so excited for him to get divorced from Naomi.

Ronald saw Brendan staring at him silently and asked, "So? Brendan, how did I do? You've been trying to get divorced for the last two years. Now, I've helped you accomplish it!" "Brilliant," Brendan answered with a fake smile. It was difficult to tell what he truly felt.

"So, about that compensation, you should think about it. After all, you've known Naomi for so long." Ronald said.

"Of course," Brendan replied.

However, Ronald felt that something was off. His cousin was not as happy as he expected him to be with the divorce.

Ronald looked at Brendan suspiciously while he rhythmically tapped on the table.

Brendan said, "Ronald, not only have you done a great job on this matter, but I'm also pleased with your work attitude and performance recently."

Ronald was caught off guard. Why did the conversation shift to work all of a sudden? But he quickly replied, "Thank you. I'll keep up the good work."

Brendan continued, "Our company is planning to aid in building 50 elementary schools in the mountains for charity. I think you'll be a great person in charge of this project." The dumbfounded Ronald stuttered, "Bre... I mean, Mr. Ludwig, L"

Brendan looked at him and asked, "Do you have any issues with it?

His gaze sent shivers down Ronald's spine, which made him quickly shake his head and answer, "No, nothing at all. Why would I have any issues with it?

"Then, you can depart with the group at 3:00 pm today," Brendan said.

"What? That soon?" Ronald thought that he could at least have some buffer time to beg s cooled off and changed his mind.

to pack his huggage, Brendan looked at Ronald's soulless face and said, "To show our company's charitable wish, I hope you will be present throughout the construction of all 50 elementary schools.
