Chapter 20

When Naomi heard Brendan suddenly bring up the check, she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who gave it." What would happen even if she had told him? Maybe Brendan knew what was going on but pretended like he knew nothing. Naomi looked like she didn't care at all. Brendan stared at her for a while before saying coldly, "Naomi, if you really want to live a good life and have a child, don't try to please me superficially. Effort without intention is nothing." Listening to Brendan, Naomi was left speechless. "Someone who doesn't even come home is actually trying to teach me how to manage my marriage," Naomi said. Brendan had nothing to say in response. He felt like he was being insulted. After clearing his throat, he said in a much softer tone, "Didn't I promise you I'd go home once a week?" "Don't even mention that! You've kept the promise only once. I'll just pretend I didn't hear it," Naomi said. He shouldn't even think about asking her to act in front of his family again.
