Chapter 22
Brendan had soft lips. Indeed, he was great at kissing.
After a while, Naci could feel her legs weakening from the kiss.
With her arms around his neck and her chin resting on his shoulder, she thought that they would start making out.
Brendan bit Naomi’s ears all of a sudden, exhaled hot breath, and whispered, “Naomi, your aunt is here.”
At first, Naomi didn’t react, thinking that her aunt had just gone abroad for a trip recently.
The next second, she realized that Brendan was referring to her period. She then let go of Brendan, pulled at her pajamas, and turned to look. All she could see was a bright red spot on her butt.
At that moment, Naomi couldn’t even cry.
She had lost her precious opportunity.
Naomi raised her head and gazed at Brendan.
Seeing Brendan taking a book and sitting on the bed like nothing had happened, she knew what was going on. Brendan had probably noticed that she was on her period, so he had just teased her for fun.
She gritted her teeth and said, “You might have gotten away with it this time, but not next time.”
Brendan looked up. “You’re still not getting changed?”
If he was unwilling to do anything, there was nothing Naomi could do. Opposingly, Naomi couldn’t get away either.
He was the one holding all the power in this game.
Feeling embarrassed, Naomi went to the bathroom.
Since Naomi was on her period, she stopped teasing Brendan.
Although Brendan stayed home for the next few days, Naomi stopped teasing him and focused on her work.
Moreover, besides teasing him occasionally, she spent almost all her time and energy on her work.
She was fully committed, even for very ordinary small cases.
Mason was right about Naoml. She was indeed a good woman. But she didn’t love him, which was her only shortcoming.
“Naomi, look at the time. It’s time to sleep.”
“You’re just a lawyer, but you’re busier than me,” Brendan sald as he picked the book back up.
