Chapter 182
“Why should I fancy her?” Brendan started to get mad after hearing that question.
He continued, “I don’t fancy her. So, Mom, please calm down. Stop making such a fuss.”
Heather replied, “Got it, got it. I know now, so I will stop seeking her out.”
Immediately after, Heather asked, “How about Naomi? Do you have the hots for Naomi, then? Did you marry Naomi because of the pressure your father and I put upon you?”
Brendan chuckled on the other end of the call. He answered with a question, “Can I be forced to do anything I don’t want to?”
Heather pressed on, “That means that you do like Naomi. Am I right?”
Naomi was in front of her right now. So, Heather wanted to get some reassurance from Brendan so that both her and Naomi could feel better.
Brendan lifted his hand and massaged his temples. “Mom, I’m busy. Bye for now.”
He didn’t give Heather a direct answer. He simply hung up the call.
Heather realized that Brendan had hung up. She looked at Naomi with a radiant smile on her face. She remarked, “See, I’ve said that Brendan surely doesn’t fancy Chloe. I’m sure that he has a liking for you.”
Naomi noticed that Heather was pleased. She served some food to Heather. “Dig in, Mom.”
Heather had been busying herself. She must have gone through so much trouble.
Heather looked at the food on her plate. In a serious tone, she said, “Both you and Brendan are too prideful and arrogant. Neither of you is willing to submit to the other.
“If you were to have a child, both of you would have more opportunities to compromise with one another.
That will help ease up the relationship between the both of you.”
It had been more than two years. Heather frequently brought up the topic about them getting pregnant. It gave Naomi a headache each time she heard it.
Heather saw that Naomi was focused on eating and didn’t make a sound. She became alarmed instantly.” Do you no longer want to have children, Naomi?”
Deep down, she was well aware of the troubles that Brendan had caused. He was always fooling around.
That was how he was ever since he was young.
Heather had a serious look on her face. Naomi responded, “No, that’s not it. I do want to have kids, Mom.”
Upon hearing Naomi’s response, Heather breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m just glad that you’re willing to have kids. To me, you are the only daughter–in–law in the Ludwig family.”
Heather watched Naomi grow up. She used to spend a lot of time with her too. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was like a daughter to her.

Hence, Heather was unwilling to have someone like Naomi end up marrying into someone else’s family.
“I will give you a grandchild soon,” Naomi looked earnest when she said this. Yet, in her heart, she wished
that Heather could be struck by lightning.
“I made this soup for Brendan. Remember to ask him to eat it when he comes back.”
“I will.”
After their meal, Heather had a brief chat with Naomi. Then, she said she was due to go home to look
after Samuel and left.
Naomi was relieved to have Heather leave. At least today’s challenge was over.
It was almost 1:00 am when Naomi was sound asleep. Then, someone pushed open the bedroom door
gently.
Brendan hung the coat of his suit on the coat rack before removing the tie around his neck. Then, he unbuttoned a button on his sleeve.
While navigating through this series of actions, his eyes were fixed on Naomi. He watched her as she
slept.
After hanging his tie on the rack, he walked to the side of the bed. He lifted his hand and caressed her
forehead.
Naomi’s eyes fluttered open. She greeted him while lying in bed in a daze, “Welcome back.”
Although she sounded sleepy, her voice was still as pleasant as before.
Brendan pulled his right hand away from her forehead. “Did I wake you?”
“No, you didn’t,” Naomi answered with her eyes half open. She continued drowsily, “Go wash up and rest early.”
