Boomerang Love

Chapter 10

It seemed Naomi wasn’t the way Brendan had thought. Her daily routine wasn’t as simple as just going to the company and coming back home.

Not long after, when Jennifer came in to serve some snacks and tea, Brendan casually asked about Naomi’s usual routine.

Jennifer said, “Sometimes, Mrs. Ludwig works late, but it’s not often. She usually comes back quite early. Today’s still early.”

Early? it was already past nine.

Brendan had always been criticized for not coming home often, but it seemed Naomi wasn’t much better herself.

He had thought that agreeing to come home once a week would mean Naomi eagerly waiting for him at home. But things weren’t as he had imagined. With his hands in his pockets, Brendan stood still in front of the window. He wanted to see what time Naomi would come home tonight.

Inside an Audi Ac, a young man gripped the steering wheel and glanced at Naomi, who was leaning her head against the car window. He asked, “Ms. Goodwin, are you okay?”

Naomi frowned. Her right hand pressed on her chest. “I’m fine.”

She had been the center of attention at the celebration. So, she had drunk quite a lot

Earlier, her colleagues had suggested going out for karaoke, but Naomi could barely walk straight. So, Michael had asked a colleague to drive her home. About ten minutes later, when the car entered the prestigious Yellowind Bay residential area as Naomi had directed, the young man was stunned.

Yellowind Bay was the most luxurious residential area in Ashburgh. It was surrounded by green hills and lakes, with a serene environment that lots of people in Ashburgh wanted to live in. Of course, the land prices were astonishingly high.

He hadn’t expected Naomi to live in Yellowind Bay. When the car stopped at the address she had given, Yellowind Bay No. 1, the young man was even more shocked.
