Chapter 273
Before the fortune tellers appeared, Samuel had occasionally talked about marriage To Naomi. At that time, she’d expressed that she and Brendan weren’t compatible.
Then came the incident with the fortune tellers. Later, Naomi had also consulted other fortune tellers and received the same results. The pressure from her parents had also led to the current situation.
After sending Ronald the information, Naomi made her way to the courthouse as the traffic finally cleared up. By the time she was done, it was 2:00 pm.
Naomi felt nauseous again, so she drove to the hospital. Even if she wasn’t pregnant, she needed to get medications for her gastroenteritis.
When Naomi received the test results at 3:00 pm, Brendan called her. “Where are you?”
“I came to the hospital after finishing my work at the courthouse. I just received the test results. Let me take a photo for you.” Naomi then promptly sent Brendan a picture of the test results.
“You don’t have a husband, Naomi,” Brendan sneered.
“Then, who are you? Let’s not make a big deal out of it. Did you see the test results? It’s gastroenteritis.” Naomi was used to going to the hospital alone.
“I saw the results. I have a meeting tonight, so I’ll be back a little late,” Brendan said
in a subdued voice.
“Okay,” Naomi responded. After hanging up the call, she turned to the doctor and

“You didn’t have to work overtime today?”

It on the coat rack.
Brendan’s gaze shifted from Naomi to the test result report placed on the table. After a short pause, he reached for the report and flipped it open.
The results were the same as what he’d seen in the afternoon. Naomi wasn’t
pregnant; she had gastroenteritis.
When Naomi saw that Brendan was looking at the bottles of vitamins and folic acid, she explained, “Since we are planning to have a child, I might as well start eating them. We’ll conceive in one way or another.”
Brendan responded with a soft hum before placing the report back on the table. It was evident that his spirits weren’t as high as they had been the past few days.
Sensing his dejected mood, Naomi asked, “Are you disappointed that I’m not pregnant?”
Brendan pulled her into his embrace and rested his chin on her shoulder. “A little.”
The night before, Jennifer had been so confident that Naomi was pregnant. As a result, Brendan had been convinced that he was going to be a father. Unfortunately.
it turned out to be a false alarm.
Brendan didn’t tell Naomi that he had instructed his secretary to purchase many pregnancy and baby–related products in the morning. However, they were of no use

Brendan’s disappointment took Naomi by surprise. She hadn’t expected him to be so affected by the pregnancy results. After all, he’d never wanted to have a child.
