Chapter 52
After Naomi heard Mason’s explanation, her expression changed.
“He’s heartbroken? I’m perfectly fine here, and I’ve never cheated on him. Who broke his heart?” Naomi
said.
Mason said, “I guess it wasn’t you who broke his heart.”
Naomi was rendered speechless.
She had wondered why Brendan had been coming home every day lately, even if it was in the middle of the night.
It turned out that Chloe was giving him the cold shoulder, causing him to be in a bad mood. No wonder he always had a gloomy expression.
Naomi crossed her arms and looked down at Brendan. She lifted her leg and kicked him.
“Naomi, don’t do that!”
Mason quickly stopped her and continued, “Don’t kick Brendan, or I have to take the blame tomorrow. He’ll say that I was the one who kicked him. Also, lend me a hand! I can’t carry him alone.”

Naomi said, “Why should I? He’s heartbroken but not because of me. He’s lucky I haven’t thrown him out.”
Just as Naomi finished speaking, Brendan tried to stand up, placing his hands on the couch. But he ended up sitting back down.
Seeing this, Mason sighed and said, “He’s been sulking for days. The others think he’s going through a breakup, and I think so too.”
Naomi smiled sarcastically. Brendan was heartbroken? What a feat.
It didn’t matter whether it was Chloe or someone else, Naomi didn’t want to think about it. It wouldn’t be
her anyway.
“Where’s Chloe? Have you seen them together the past few days?” Naomi asked.
“I haven’t seen them together. They probably had a fight. That’s why Brendan is in a bad mood,” Mason said. “I don’t know when he’ll get over it. I’ve never seen him like this before.”
As she listened to Mason, Naomi coldly withdrew her gaze. She took out her phone from her pocket and
called Chloe.
“Chloe, come to Yellowind Bay.”
After saying that, Naomi hung up the phone without giving Chloe any chance to respond.
Mason asked, “Naomi, why did you call Chloe over?”
Mason had brought Brendan back to Yellowind Bay to create an opportunity for Naomi. Couldn’t she see
that?
Chapter 52
Naomi set her phone aside and calmly said, “Whoever started the trouble should end It. I can’t solve Brendan’s alcohol addiction or his emotional problems.”
Mason said, “You should be more careful. Do you really not want to be with Brendan anymore?”
Naomi smiled and said, “If his heart isn’t here, no amount of caution will help. Besides, don’t you know that absence makes the heart grow fonder? The more I try to stop them, the closer their relationship
becomes.
“After so many years, I’m too lazy to intervene. They can handle their own Issues, and Brendan can make his own choices.”
As Naomi spoke, Brendan drunkenly mumbled something with a frown.
Naomi couldn’t hear clearly, so she turned to Mason for clarification.
Mason said, “Chloe. Brendan is looking for Chloe.”
Hearing this, Naomi laughed. She was almost moved by this deep affection.
If Brendan knew that Mason had been so willing to help, he would surely “thank” him the next day.
Half an hour later, Chloe rushed over in a hurry. She was disheveled and still in her pajamas and slippers.
She asked anxiously, “Naomi, what happened to Brendan?”
Seeing how Chloe had hurried over right away, Naomi suddenly felt like an outsider.
Glancing at Brendan, she said, “Brendan drank too much. Mason said it’s because of you. Handle it yourself.”
Chloe’s expression changed, and she said, “Naomi, is there a misunderstanding here?”
Naomi said, “I’ll be upstairs. If you need help, look for Jennifer.”
After saying that, Naomi turned and went upstairs.
