Chapter 262
Brendan was looking at her as well. When their eyes met, Naomi said calmly, "Pick it up."Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Brendan was silent. He was feeling guilty!
However, at Naomi's expression, which was daring him to disobey her, he accepted the call in front of her. If not, he wouldn't be able to give her an explanation.
"Brendan," Chloe's teary voice rang out the second the call went through.
After he'd reassigned Chloe, they hadn't contacted each other in a while. She was probably calling because she was in trouble.
Brendan looked up at Naomi when Chloe called him by his first name. Naomi seemed fine. Her expression hardly changed.
Chloe continued tearily, "Brendan, my mom's losing control of herself again. She wrecked the house and hurt Caleb. Brendan, I'm... I'm exhausted!"
Chloe exploded into tears upon finishing her sentence. Her brother's voice followed as he asked, "Brendan, what happened to my mom? She hit me and my sister just now.
"I miss you so much, Brendan. I haven't seen you in so long."
Once Caleb finished, Chloe continued while sobbing, "Brendan, I've tried to talk Caleb out of it, but he must've been scared tonight.
"He's been talking about you all night, saying that he wanted to see you. I know you-"
Chloe hadn't finished before Brendan interrupted her, "Noted."
Chloe apologized furiously, "Brendan, I'm so sorry! I'm genuinely so sorry!"
Brendan hung up halfway through her apologies. When he looked at Naomi, the warmth in her eyes had dissolved.
Brendan cleared his throat. Just as he was feeling lost on how to explain to Naomi, she said generously, "Everyone in her family misses you so much. Just go over!"

Brendan stared at her suspiciously. She smirked, "Don't worry. I don't hit children."
As she finished her sentence, the pork ribs in the pot began sizzling.
Upon seeing that, Brendan hastily tossed them. He called Jennifer over to man the kitchen and took Naomi to the Yates' place.
Although he was scared of taking her over, Naomi had made the request. If he didn't take her there, it would seem like he was hiding something.
Naomi's determination made her seem like she was out to catch him cheating.
Brendan felt rather terrified of pissing her off.
At the same time, he felt happy. Her possessiveness made him feel as though he was important to her.
Chloe lived in a flat devoid of lifts. After Brendan parked his car and walked upstairs with Naomi, they found out that the lights were broken as well.
He took Naomi's hand in one hand and used his phone as a flashlight with the other.
Vhen Naomi saw the condition of the place, she turned to Brendan and asked, he's living in such a horrible place. Aren't you going to give her a house?"
