He stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked down at her, “Who said I’m waiting to file for divorce next year?”

Heather laughed cynically. She replied, “Do you think I need you to tell me that? Can you swear in good faith that you’ve never said Naomi should pack her bags and leave when the time comes?

“Brendan, how impressive! Now, you’re a coward who doesn’t dare admit what you’ve done.”

Although Naomi had never told her about the contents of their arguments, whenever the housekeepers. heard them fighting, they would recount the events to her.

Seeing Brendan’s expression darken, Heather was scared that he would misunderstand Naomi,

Before he had a chance to speak, she said, “There are multiple pairs of eyes around you at home. Naomi has never told me anything.”

Brendan was silent.

That was because he knew that Naomi found it disdainful to confide in Heather.

He was aware that she didn’t care about his treatment of her or what kind of ruthless words had been

thrown around. She just wanted a child.

Upon seeing his silence, Heather gloated triumphantly, “You’re not in the right anymore, are you? You’re

not saying anything!”

As Heather pressed on, Brendan’s eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, “Mom, aren’t you scared that Naomi only wants children? Aren’t you scared that she’ll insist on divorcing me after having a child?”

Heather was speechless when she heard Brendan’s words

It wasn’t that she had never thought about it. However, now that Brendan mentioned it, she also thought his opinions weren’t entirely unfounded.

on their marriage. He was

It was as though, by preventing Naomi from getting pregnant, he was maintaining their marriage. terrified that Naomi would divorce him if she got pregnant.

Heather stared at Brendan for a moment before saying. “In that case, treat Naomi better. Be more passionate. Look at how Naomi doesn’t hold grudges against you. She maintains a generous smile.”

Brendan stuffed his hands into his pockets and chuckled. “Who doesn’t she smile at?”

Heather was silent.

Previously, she had been confident and unapologetic. Now, she felt incapable of continuing their

conversation.

Usually, she had a quick tongue, especially when she was having a go at Brendan. Why had she been silenced by his retorts?

Chapter 244

Heather’s brows were tightly knitted. She was genuinely worried that Naomi would file for divorce in the

future.

Those two had known each other for so many years. Couldn’t they make a good life with each other?

After Heather ruminated silently for a moment, she said, “Even so, you can’t treat Naomi with that usual cold demeanor of yours! She’s not a stranger; she’s your wife.”

Just as she said that, Heather widened her eyes and proposed, “Then, ask Naomi to sign a contract of guarantee. Make her promise that she can’t file for divorce after getting pregnant and having children.”

Brendan looked down at Heather silently.

When Heather saw him looking at her like that, she gave him a fake smile. “You can’t do that either, can you? Indeed, it’s not a good thing to do. It would make it seem as though there’s not much trust between

husband and wife.”

However, she had never thought that Brendan and Naomi would get divorced.

She had been thinking about how she would make him hold a huge wedding ceremony for Naomi once their relationship got better. She wanted to make up for what they hadn’t given her.

Once Heather finished speaking, Brendan looked at her and said smilingly, “Mom, you usually seem rather dumb. However, your intelligence is on point today. Great idea.”

It wasn’t like he had never asked Naomi to sign a contract of guarantee. What would happen if he asked her to sign another?.

Upon hearing Brendan compliment her, Heather let out a breath of relief while holding her heart.

She replied, “You think this idea isn’t bad? If it’s acceptable, sign the contract with Naomi soon. Once you’ve done so, make a kid as soon as possible.”

She added, “But don’t tell Naomi this was my idea.”

She couldn’t offend Naomi. Brendan could face the latter’s wrath instead.

Heather’s fear of taking responsibility for her actions made Brendan roll his eyes.

Indeed, they came from the same family. Ronald’s personality was exactly like that of his aunt’s. He betrayed the people around him easily.

At Brendan’s disdainful glance, Heather patted his clothes and said, “Alright, go in and eat your cake.” When they entered the house, Brendan saw Naomi and Ronald messing around. When he saw the cake smeared on their faces and the children’s, Brendan felt complicated feelings well up in him.

She was his wife. Yet, she got along with everyone in the Ludwig family except him.
