Chapter 140
Even if he wished to appease God, that also depended on how he felt in the moment, let alone when it
came to his grandfather. Who would have the time to pacify them daily?
Naomi gave Brendan a thumbs–up for his nonchalance. “That’s awesome.”
Then, she continued, “I would find you even more awesome if you stopped seeking me out.”
Brendan stuffed a piece of raw luncheon meat into her mouth. Naomi was about to spit it out but swallowed it when she found it tasted good.
Before long, Brendan brought a bowl of pasta into the living room. Naomi didn’t care for manners in front of Brendan. She took her fork and began eating.
Brendan sat opposite her with disdain written all over his face. “You really don’t have any manners.”
Naomi ignored him. She scrolled through her phone in one hand while slurping on her pasta with the other. She didn’t even look at him.
Upon seeing this, he took her phone.
Naomi raised her head to see his dark expression. She said dismissively, “If you like looking through my phone, go ahead.” As she said this, she stuffed a huge bite of pasta into her mouth.
Brendan stopped glaring at her and began examining the contents of her phone.
He looked through her photo album, audio recordings, and call records. There was nothing other than
work there.
Then, he went through her WhatsApp conversation records from top to bottom. Most of it was still work. Other than that, her conversations were mostly with her mother, Ronald, and Bailey.
She didn’t contact Maximus often. In fact, they had never messaged each other before.
However, he saw she had pinned her conversations with her parents, Ronald, and Bailey, as well as their common group chat. But his chat was nowhere to be found. He felt displeasure rise in his heart.
When he finally found himself in her list of conversations, he pinned his chat.
She said, “If I had known you would check my phone today, I would’ve prepared some evidence for you.” He’d sprung surprise checks on her and accused her of infidelity multiple times. Naomi felt that she would be letting him down if she didn’t find a man soon.
