Chapter 61
Christine had a stern expression.
What nonsense was this child spouting again?
However, Brendan shamelessly replied, “I want a full service tonight. I’ll settle it altogether.”
Naomi scoffed dismissively. “Sure! As long as you can handle it.”
Their shamelessness left Heather and Christine staring at each other, feeling incredibly embarrassed. These two kids had made their faces turn beet red with their words, and they were still acting as if nothing had happened.
Christine poked Naomi’s waist again and said, “Naomi, mind your language.”
Naomi frowned and turned to Christine, saying, “Mom, if you keep poking my waist, I won’t be able to have children.”
“Pfft! Nonsense.”
Heather, unsure whether to laugh or cry, quickly intervened, saying, ‘Since both of them have pledged to make things work, let’s head back. They can take care of the rest on their own.”
Christine agreed and walked away with Heather. Once they were gone, Naomi got ready and headed straight to Goodwin Corporation.
In the chairman’s office, Dennis was on the phone when Naomi walked in and sat across from him.
After a moment, Dennis finished his call and looked at her. “You’re not going to work today? Don’t you need to go to the law firm?”
Naomi crossed her legs and asked, “Mom said you’re bothered by the company’s affairs, and it’s related to the Sabella family.”
Dennis replied, “You don’t need to worry about the company’s affairs. Your main focus should be living a good life with Brendan and having a child.”
Naomi responded, “I will live a good life, and we will have a child. These are two separate matters.”
Seeing that Naomi wasn’t going to budge, Dennis sighed and continued, “The South Glistenville project is the company’s most critical undertaking in the latter half of the year. Initially, we had a solid hold on it. However, the Sabella family had somehow gotten hold of our project proposal, slashed the price by nearly 10%, and jumped into the negotiations. Now, the higher–ups are reevaluating the situation.”
