Chapter 53
As he watched Naomi head upstairs, Mason couldn’t help but admire her deeply. Her generosity and character were qualities he could never match.
She was such an amazing wife, but Brendan still didn’t cherish her. What more could he possibly want? She was worthy of the “Best Wife of the Nation” award.
After Naomi left, Mason looked at Brendan again. His gaze met with Chloe’s.
Seeing Chloe’s speechlessness, Mason said, “I’ll help you take Brendan back to his bedroom.”
Chloe suddenly snapped out of her thoughts and replied, “Alright.”
In the guest room at the end of the corridor, for once, Naomi had trouble sleeping.
If her life continued like this, it would truly be meaningless. She couldn’t spend her whole life watching Brendan fall madly in love with other women. She had done her best to try to become a mother, but if fate didn’t allow it, she would have to accept it.
Over the many years they had known each other, this was the first time she had seen him drunk to this extent. He wouldn’t have ended up in this state if he didn’t love Chloe that much and couldn’t let her go.
His deep affection left Naomi feeling powerless.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Chloe kept watch over Brendan.
The air in Brendan’s bedroom was filled with his scent, and every item seemed to emanate his presence.
Chloe felt like she was in a dream. If it weren’t for the unexpected events of tonight, she might never have been able to set foot in Yellowind Bay and never have had the chance to watch Brendan like this.
“Brendan.” Her right hand gently touched Brendan’s forehead. Her voice was soft and content.
Mason had told Naomi that Brendan had gotten drunk because of her. Chloe held tightly onto Brendan’s hand, her gaze exceptionally bright.
The next day, Brendan woke up with a splitting headache. He felt terribly thirsty. His whole body was uncomfortable, and he could only vaguely remember Mason helping him into the car.
“Brendan, you’re awake!” Chloe hurriedly went to support him. “Does your head hurt a lot?”
He realized that he was in his bedroom and that Chloe was holding his hand. Brendan quickly pulled his hand away and asked, “How did you get in here?”
Chloe, seeing him pull his hand away, felt a bit embarrassed. She gently rubbed her hands on her pants and explained, “You got drunk last night. Naomi called me to come and take care of you.”
