Chapter 19
Hearing Naomi’s voice, Heather forgot what she was about to say and replied, “I rushed over as soon as I heard from Ronald that and Dad wanted to come along too, but I didn’t let them.”
“It’s just food poisoning. I’ll get better in a couple of days, Naomi answered.
Right after Naomi finished speaking, a nurse came over with some medicine.
Heather talked to Naomi while Brendan sliced some fruits for the two of them.
As they talked, Naomi leaned against the bed and unconsciously fell asleep.

“Look how thin she has become because of the illness,” Heather said in concern as she sat beside Naomi
you were
unwell, Mom
Right after that, Heather turned her gaze toward Brendan and said, “Brendan, you’d better send Chloe away to the farthest place possible. It’s best if she doesn’t stay in Ashburgh anymore.”
Brendan handed her half an orange and said, “Mom, there’s nothing going on between me and Chloe. Why do you insist on giving her a hard time?”
not trying to give her a hard time. I’m just afraid that Naomi would overthink and get upset.
“Why don’t you try putting yourself in her shoes? If Maximus comes back and sticks around Naomi all the time, wouldn’t that make you uncomfortable? “Heather replied.
There was a noticeable shift in Brendan’s expression at the mention of Maximus Martin
He then stuffed the remaining half of the orange into his mouth. He raised his head and looked at Naomi on the hospital bed.
Seeing Brendan remaining silent, Heather spoke again softly, “Since you’re married to Naomi, you should stop fooling around and keep a distance from other women. There’s one more thing I need to tell you Chloe isn’t as simple as she seems. Don’t let her fool you.”
In short, Heather didn’t like anyone apart from Naomi,
“I don’t have other intentions toward Chloe,” Brendan answered calmly.
“It seems that Naomi was right. Suggesting this idea has brought her trouble. Now that I think about it, I’ve underestimated Chloe,” Heather said.
He didn’t expect his mother to have been the one to come up with that idea behind his back
Most Importantly, Naomi didn’t mention his mother at all when he had flung the check at her.
In this way, he would feel better.
She was always so generous, making him feel like a nobody.
After that, Brendan didn’t pay any attention to Heather, even when she continued to nag at him.
