“Right away!” Brendan answered before heading into the bathroom with his change of clothes.
Shortly after, he exited the bathroom after taking his shower. He looked rather pale.
He inhaled sharply as he glanced over at Naomi, who was still in bed. He walked over to the cabinet and
started rummaging through it.
He had some discomfort in his stomach. He remembered that there were some medications in the
drawer. However, he was unable to find it despite searching for a while.
Suddenly, the lights in the room were turned on. Brendan turned around and saw that Naomi had sat up
on the bed. She asked, “What are you looking for?”
“Nothing.”
Naomi lifted her head and looked toward Brendan. With one glance, she could tell that he wasn’t looking
too good.
Barefooted, she got down from the bed and walked to him. She put her hand on his stomach and gave it
a gentle rub. “Is your stomach feeling upset?”
Brendan didn’t even have a chance to reply when Naomi retrieved the medicine he was looking for from
the drawer next to the cabinet.
“You were looking for this medication, weren’t you?” Naomi could tell that he was unwell and even found
his medication.
All of a sudden, Brendan was a little touched. For over two years of marriage, this was the first time.
Brendan felt like she acted like a wife to him.
He received the medicine into his hands. He then reminded Naomi to put on her shoes.
As it was late at night, it was silent.
Both Naomi and Brendan spoke softly. Yet, their words penetrated deep into each other’s hearts.
Naomi turned around and put her shoes on. Standing behind her, Brendan explained, “Timothy Xander
came back tonight. I was at his place all night.”
Throughout the entire evening, Brendan had first met up with the manager to convey his thoughts. He had practically gotten Project Elva settled.
Whenever it came to work, he was as serious as Naomi.
It was rare for Brendan to explain himself. Naomi turned around to face him. She asked, “You haven’t
eaten, have you?”
Brendan simply stared at her and didn’t answer her question of concern.
Indeed, he hadn’t eaten. In fact, he hadn’t had anything to eat the entire day. It was just that they had

never asked each other questions like this before.

Although Brendan didn’t reply, Naomi yawned and said, “I’ll go downstairs to see if there’s anything you
can eat.”
She then made her way downstairs without waiting for any response from Brendan.
Naomi scrambled around the kitchen. She really didn’t know how to cook. Even boiling pasta was a challenge for her.
So, she simply decided to heat up the soup that Heather had cooked earlier. At the same time, she toasted two dinner rolls for Brendan.
“What’s in the pot?” Naomi had just put the lid on the pot when she suddenly heard Brendan’s voice coming from behind her.
She spun around, only to find herself looking right at his charming face in close proximity.
She looked at him coldly. Out of the blue, he rested his chin on her shoulder.
Naomi didn’t push him away. Nonchalantly, she replied, “It’s chicken soup. Your mother came by and boiled it herself.”
Naomi had just finished speaking when Brendan extended his arms and wrapped them around her waist. Are you planning to keep me awake all night tonight?”
Naomi answered, “I’d like that, but I’m just afraid that you wouldn’t be able to take it…”
She hadn’t finished her sentence when Brendan lifted her chin and pressed his lips against hers. She placed her hands against his chest in resistance.
However, he only ended up kissing her even more intensely.
Tonight was a rare occasion where she was worried about him. She even came down to the kitchen to make food for him.
As he kissed her passionately, he lifted her up onto the kitchen counter. He supported her lower back with one hand. He placed his other hand on her thigh and parted her robe.
