Boomerang Love

The next morning, Naomi's alarm clock woke her up. Just as she was preparing to head to Charles' place, Jason rushed over to deliver clothes to Brendan.

Impressed by Jason's diligence, Naomi praised earnestly, "Mr. Russell, I really wish to hire you."

Jason shook his head. "You're too kind, Ms. Goodwin."

Then, he raised his voice and added, "Mr. Ludwig cares a lot about you, Ms. Goodwin."

Naomi remarked faintly. "He came all this way for nothing. Poor guy."

Naomi was trying to gauge Jason's reaction, curious about what rumors Brendan had heard that made him come rushing over.

Jason forced a smile, unable to respond. He hadn't expected Brendan to rush over when the latter heard that Maximus was in town too.

Brendan obviously cared a lot about Naomi. If only he could let bygones be bygones. The past was in the past.

"Don't let me disturb your rest, Ms. Goodwin. I have to go." Jason bid Naomi farewell and quickly slipped away, afraid of spilling more than he needed to.

With a click, the door closed gently. When Naomi returned to her room, Brendan was just starting to wake up.

He asked grumpily, "Who were you talking to so early?"

Naomi gave him a dismissive glance. "My partner."

Brendan rolled his eyes at her. "Can't you say something serious for once?"This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Naomi huffed. "Jason brought your clothes over. You can go back later if you want to."

"Why would I go back when you're still here?" Brendan asked.

"Are you hoping to catch me in the act? Suit yourself. I'll probably be here for another two or three days."

Since she had nothing to hide, Brendan could do as he pleased. She had to get to work.

With that, Naomi took what she needed and went to Charles' place, while Brendan continued to rest in the hotel room.

At that moment, Brendan didn't know why he had come rushing over without much thought. Maybe he wanted to catch her in the act of find evidence, but hoping he wouldn't at the same time.

But he couldn't deny that he minded it when Naomi didn't come looking for him. Especially since his mom called Naomi yesterday, but she didn't reach out to him afterward. That annoyed him even more, so he went to the law firm to meet her.

After coming up empty, his desire to see her grew, and he couldn't keep a level head. It seemed like he ho Chapter 128

longer held the upper hand.

Brendan also got up not long after Naomi left. After his morning routine, he started working in the room.

He wasn't the type to waste time. So when Jason brought the clothes over, he also brought Brendan's computer and work documents.

Meanwhile, Naomi was busy with Charles' case the entire morning and didn't return to the hotel even when noon rolled by.

It was around 5:00 pm when Naomi was done visiting Charles' relatives and neighbors. She collected some information about his past and finally decided to return to the hotel.

Her heart felt heavy after learning about Charles' childhood. Even though she knew that some people e

had it difficult, especially after she became a lawyer, she couldn't imagine how a boy that young could live

such an inhuman life.

When Charles was locked in a pig pen, she was being chauffeured to school, adorning branded clothes, and eating at high-class restaurants.

But the thought that the information she had gathered today could reduce Charles' sentence gave Naomi a little comfort.

As the taxi approached the hotel, Naomi quickly composed herself.

Ever since childhood, no matter what happened or how sad she felt, she always managed her emotions. well. She never let her bad mood affect others and always appeared cheerful.

Unless she was really pushed to the limit.

After the taxi stopped at the hotel, Naomi paid the fare. Just as she was e. about to get out of the car, she heard someone calling out to her from behind.

She turned around, and her eyes immediately widened dramatically.
