Boomerang Love

Nothing more needed to be said. It was clearly Ivan's doing.

He couldn't stand her for taking on this case. Thus, he was exacting his revenge on her.

She slapped a hand on her forehead and sighed. Naomi was getting rather frustrated. What kind of person was he? What an asshole!

Ivan's tiny act of getting back at her made her more determined that this was a case she could only win. Losing wasn't an option. If not, with this man's personality, he would certainly retaliate.

As she pulled her phone from her bag and prepared to call a cab back to the law firm, a black car suddenly stopped beside her. Someone called her name. "Naomi."Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Naomi turned around to see the car's window roll down, and Maximus' face appeared in front of her.

Naomi was surprised and responded, "Maximus."

Maximus said, "Get into the car. I'll take you back."

Her tires were flat, and Maximus was right in front of her. If she didn't get in, it would seem like she was intentionally avoiding him, which would be highly abnormal. Thus, she opened the door and got in.

The car began rolling forward slowly. Ryan looked back at Naomi and greeted her politely, "Ms. Goodwin."

Naomi replied to him smilingly. She then asked Maximus, "You're here for business as well?"

Maximus responded, "I'm reviewing the work of the prosecutor's office." He then continued, "What's wrong with your car? All your tires seem to be flat."

Naomi said, "They were probably slashed by the respondent."

Maximus was worried. He said, "I'll get someone to investigate this issue. Then, I'll have Ryan get some retired soldiers to protect you."

Naomi smiled and replied, "It's not that serious. He won't be daring enough to do anything too brash, considering the case status. As to what happens after the case ends, he won't have the chance."

Besides, if someone was going to get her bodyguards, it should be Brendan! How could Maximus do it for her?

If Brendan found out, the Ludwig and Martin families wouldn't have a moment of peace, not to mention her and the Goodwin family. She should do a good deed so everyone lives harmoniously.

When Maximus heard Naomi's words, his expression softened. He smiled and said, "Naomi, you're still so smart and confident."

Naomi grinned. "Those are the last two good qualities of mine."

Maximus responded, "You have many more virtues."

Naomi smiled.

Later, Maximus insisted on treating her to lunch, so Ryan parked in front of a restaurant. Naomi could only eat with him.

After finishing their meal, Maximus dropped Naomi back at the law firm.

She spent the whole afternoon busy at the firm. At 7:00 pm, the entire ΟΜ

building had gotten off work, and the sky butside was dark. Naomi slammed her laptop shut and went home.

When she got home, Brendan hadn't returned.

She was rather tired. Thus, she lay on the bed motionless after a quick shower.

Although she was exhausted, she had a lot to think about. She closed her eyes to get some rest, but she couldn't sleep either way.

After she'd been lying on the bed for a long time, the bedroom door swung open.

Brendan was home.

"You're back." Naomi's greeting was weak.

Upon seeing that, Brendan took his tie off and hung it on the coat rack. got closer to her and caressed her HeWhy are you so tired?"

Naomi didn't remove his hand. She stared at him with teary eyes. Brendan felt his heart shatter.

Naomi only took on such an expression when she was extremely down.

She'd made this face less than five times throughout his 23 years of knowing her.
