Chapter 241
Brendan watched Reuben and Maximus play cards. His eyes never looked in Naomi’s direction, nor did he pay attention to her.
Naomi passed her phone to the children so they could play a game on it. When she got up and headed to the pantry for something to eat, Heather followed her hurriedly.
“Mom,” Naomi greeted her when she saw Heather come over.
“Naomi, have you and Brendan gotten into a fight?” Heather was a direct woman. She breached the topic right away without beating around the bush.
Naomi smiled and replied, “Who doesn’t argue from time to time?”
Heather had known for a long time that Naomi was the type of person to only describe her joys and hide her unhappiness.
She walked to Naomi and helped her wash the grapes. She then asked, “Hadn’t you guys been getting along well? Didn’t you say you were preparing for pregnancy? Why are you guys arguing now?”
She didn’t wait for Naomi to speak. “I could tell you guys were arguing because you didn’t come in together.”
She then asked Naomi, “What’s going on with your plans to have a kid? There would be a lot less friction between you and Brendan if you had a child. Sometimes, children are the lubricant between couples.”
When Heather mentioned children, Naomi stopped washing the grapes.
For other couples, children might be a lubricant. However, for her and Brendan, she didn’t have that sort
of confidence. Perhaps their conflicts would only escalate once they had a child.
She was silent as she thought. She then turned to Heather and said, “Mom, Brendan is taking
contraceptive measures.”
After careful consideration, she decided to expose Brandon so that he wouldn’t push the blame onto her
eventually.
In addition, making their situation clear to Heather would allow the latter to be mentally prepared so that she stopped being so optimistic. Brendan and Naomi wouldn’t last for long.
Heather was dumbfounded when she heard that. When she finally processed it, she felt rage overwhelm
her.
That asshole! How could he be taking contraceptive measures?
Her expression was dark as she gripped the grapes in her hands so hard that they burst.
He had a sweet tongue. He’d promised her that he would get Naomi pregnant before the end of the year and make her a grandmother next year. In the end, those were all empty promises to appease her.
How could she have given birth to such a good–for–nothing asshole?
Chapter 241
How could he take contraceptive measures behind Naomi’s back? How could she tolerate it? Wouldn’t this embarrass her? Naomi was a woman!
Heather didn’t need to ask. She knew they were arguing about this, so Naomi hadn’t waited for him and
had come to the mansion alone.
