he two of them parted ways and went back to the lives in which they treated each other like strangers.
One afternoon, ditet frendan returned from a meeting with the government, Jasen Russell came in with some documents for him to sign
As jayaan put the documents on the desk, Brendan asked, “What is Nani bony with lately?”
Nahan’t looked for him for about a month.
Jason answered, “Ms. Goodwin’s been busy with work, sir. She has taken on quite a few divorce cases.”
Jason’s voice became obviously softer when he spoke the last few words.
Brendan threw away the documents in his hand and laughed frostily. “She’s practicing in advance.”
Jason didn’t respond to Brendan
In fact, that was exactly what he thought.
The reason why Naomi married Brendan was obvious
In the meeting room of Solaris Law Firm, Naomi sneezed just when she was thinking who was scolding her behind her back, Michael Smyth, the director of Solaris Law Firm, turned to look at her. He asked in a serious tone, “Why are you taking so many divorce cases at such a young age, Naomi?”
Then, he looked at the other colleagues, “Don’t bully Naomi just because she is young and new to our firm, and don’t just give her those cases that you don’t want to take.”
Naomi smiled and replied, “It’s not like that, Mr. Symth. I’ll consider it as practice.”
Her marriage with Brendan would eventually turn into a fight that was yet to be lawn, so she had to warm herself up first.
Michael frowned and said, “You don’t have to practice like this. You can take fewer divorce cases in the future, I don’t want them to affect your view of marriage.”
Naomi had only graduated for a year. Michael was afraid that she would be affected by those divorce cases.
Before Naomi could reply, Michael continued, “Don’t say that I don’t give you advice as a leader, Naomi. I heard that the Ludwig Corporation is considering changing its corporate lawyer recently. If you can win over the Ludwig Corporation and be their corporate lawyer, you’ll become a rising figure in this industry.”
For the past few years, Solaris Law Firm had tried its best to fight for the role of a corporate lawyer to Ludwig Corporation. All of them had tried, but none of them had gotten the role.
They had a newcomer this year. Hence, Michael wanted her to give it a try.
Moreover, he highly recognized Naomi’s working attitude and ability.
He was afraid that Naomi wouldn’t dare to take the hot potato, so he persuaded her, “You don’t have to feel stressed, Naomi. It’s not that you must take down the role of the corporate lawyer to Ludwig Corporation. We’re not asking for that. Just try your best.”
Since Michael had put it like that, it was hard for Naomi to refuse him. So she promised that she would give it a try.
But when she thought of getting involved with the Ludwig Corporation, her head hurt.
So when she went home for dinner with her parents that night, and they asked about her and Brendan, she asked coldly, “Why did you and Samuel have to ask me to marry Brendan, Dad? Are you trying to help me or hurt me?!
Dennis Goodwin’s face turned blue when he heard Naomi’s words. “What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, we’re doing this for your own good. Several fortune tellers had mentioned that you can only be with Brendan according to your horoscope. Otherwise, you won’t have any children in the future.”
Naomi glanced at Dennis and asked, “Did Samuel ever doubt you? Did he ever doubt those fortune tellers?”
“Your father–in–law was the one who found those fortune tellers. I don’t losow any of them.”
Naomi was left speechless.
She could only have children with Brendan. If she was with other men, she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant, give birth to a child, and be a mother. She didn’t know if she owed Brendan in the past life, or vice versa, but in this lifetime, it seemed their fates were entangled in this way.
She couldn’t find anyone who had a more absurd life than hers.
Naomi’s mom, Christine Ziegler, who was beside them also asked, “If Naomi has children in the future and Brendan insists on divorcing her, Dennis, can Naomi get custody of the children?
“Samsel had said, if that really happens, Naomi will absolutely get custody of the children. So the most important task for Naomi now is to have some children
“That’s more like it Christine then turned to look at Naomi. “Did you hear that, Naomi? You have to keep this in mind.”
No matter what would happen to her and Brendan in the future, she had to get pregnant as soon as possible.
anymore, Mom.”
She spent some time with her parents after dinner. Then she left the Goodwin residence in her car after promising that she would definitely have a baby. When she was back in Yellowind Bay and had just stepped into the house, their mald, Jennifer Lawrence, came and told her excitedly, “Mrs Ludwig, Mr.
Hearing Jason’s voice on the other end, Brendan said, “Go and pick her up. I’ll be there soon.”
As Brendan was about to leave, Naomi grabbed his arm, “Brendan, you’re too mean!”
Who would just leave halfway like this? It was too bloody mean!
