Chapter 225

She smiled and explained, "I've gained weight, so it doesn't fit right." Brendan didn't say anything. He didn't tell Naomi that he had designed the ring to ensure the wearer would have a hard time taking it off. Brendan knew that while Naomi seemed nonchalant to most things, she was quite sensitive and couldn't forget the day he slapped her. Once trust was broken, it couldn't be fixed easily. Later on, their arguments became the norm, and Naomi's feelings faded. But nothing compared to the pain of that slap. Her patience and love seemed to have been worn away in these repeated arguments. After a moment of silence, Brendan asked, "Something on your mind?" Naomi smiled. "Not really. I just dreamed about the past." She glanced at Brendan. "It felt ages ago." But she still couldn't get over it. Hearing this, Brendan had an idea of what Naomi had dreamed about. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the study alone. The room fell silent again as Naomi looked at the moon outside.
