Chapter 22
Brendan had soft lips. Indeed, he was great at kissing.
After a while, Naci could feel her legs weakening from the kiss.
With her arms around his neck and her chin resting on his shoulder, she thought that they would start making out.
Brendan bit Naomi’s ears all of a sudden, exhaled hot breath, and whispered, “Naomi, your aunt is here.”
At first, Naomi didn’t react, thinking that her aunt had just gone abroad for a trip recently.
The next second, she realized that Brendan was referring to her period. She then let go of Brendan, pulled at her pajamas, and turned to look. All she could see was a bright red spot on her butt.
At that moment, Naomi couldn’t even cry.
She had lost her precious opportunity.
Naomi raised her head and gazed at Brendan.
Seeing Brendan taking a book and sitting on the bed like nothing had happened, she knew what was going on. Brendan had probably noticed that she was on her period, so he had just teased her for fun.
She gritted her teeth and said, “You might have gotten away with it this time, but not next time.”
Brendan looked up. “You’re still not getting changed?”
If he was unwilling to do anything, there was nothing Naomi could do. Opposingly, Naomi couldn’t get away either.
He was the one holding all the power in this game.
Feeling embarrassed, Naomi went to the bathroom.
Since Naomi was on her period, she stopped teasing Brendan.
Although Brendan stayed home for the next few days, Naomi stopped teasing him and focused on her work.
At this point, Brendan had seen through Naomi. She wouldn’t talk to him at all if she had no intentions.
Moreover, besides teasing him occasionally, she spent almost all her time and energy on her work.
She was fully committed, even for very ordinary small cases.
Mason was right about Naoml. She was indeed a good woman. But she didn’t love him, which was her only shortcoming.
“Naomi, look at the time. It’s time to sleep.”
Sitting on the bed, Brendan put down the book in his hands.
“I’m almost done. There’s no need to walt for me,” Naomi answered.
“You’re just a lawyer, but you’re busier than me,” Brendan sald as he picked the book back up.
“I still need to fulfill my responsibilities as a lawyer,” Naomi responded.
After a while, when Brendan was still reading his book, Naomi suddenly rushed over, lifted her leg, and straddled him.
Brendan calmly looked at Naomi. “Since you’re snuggling into my arms now, it seems like your period is over.”
“Can’t I do it even when it’s not over?” Naomi asked.
As she was speaking, she twisted a few times on purpose,
Again, Brendan put down the book in his hands and held Naomi’s waist with his arms. “Let’s just talk”
“There’s nothing to talk about. I’m just in a good mood,” Naomi answered.
Taking on a major case today had made her happy.
Seeing Naomi act so affectionately while being fully aware of it, Brendan softened.
She used to mess around with him like this.
Brendan hugged Naomi as he listened to her talk about her job. When she felt sleepy, Brendan turned off the lights. It had been a long time since they last had a nice talk.
