Chapter 159
Naomi woke herself out of her stupor. She smiled and sat down. “Mr. Ludwig, you’re very generous.
Brendan sat down alongside her, but his eyebrows furrowed as he took a sharp breath.
Naomi glanced at him with disdain in his eyes. If he couldn’t handle his alcohol, he shouldn’t have tried to
act tough. Who was he showing off for?
Brendan gritted his teeth at Naomi’s disdainful expression. “Aren’t you going to get me some food?”
Upon seeing the situation they were in, Michael reminded Naomi with a smile, “Naomi, Mr. Ludwig drank
a lot in one go. Get him some food.”
Naomi couldn’t embarrass him with so many people around. She reached out her hand to throw some
lettuce onto his plate.
After Brendan drained his glass, everyone began chatting uninhibitedly again.
Brendan talked to them intermittently. However, his attention was focused entirely on Naomi.
While Chloe sat beside Jason, her eyes never left Brendan and Naomi.
Brendan cared for Naomi. Hence, he purposely drank that glass of wine to make people suspicious of his relationship with Naomi. This would discourage them from introducing other men to her.
Chloe had known Brendan for many years, but she had never seen anyone who warranted this kind of treatment from him. Even Reuben didn’t get that kind of treatment.
Chloe felt jealous.
She was jealous of Naomi, who could marry Brendan. She was also jealous that Brendan cared about
Naomi.
After Naomi finished her dinner, she snacked on some nuts while–listening to everyone around her talk. However, she suddenly felt a palm on her thigh beneath the table.
Naomi turned to her right to look at Brendan. He was talking as though nothing was going on, but he was teasing her beneath the table.
Her expression changed, and she threw the shells of the nuts into his face.
