Chapter 87

Ronald, with his mischievous expression, earned a sympathetic look from Naomi.

On the other end, Brendan clenched his teeth and said, “Naomi, just you wait.”

Naomi yawned and said calmly, “It’s quite late. I need to rest now.”

Before she could hang up, Brendan ended the call first from his end.

Naomi placed her phone on the coffee table and gave Ronald a thumbs–up, saying. “That was impressive.”

Ronald enjoyed his food nonchalantly and replied, “He won’t have a good night’s sleep tonight.”

Keeping her composure, Naomi asked, “Is there a chance that you might not wake up in the future?”

Ronald froze.

After a moment of silence, he hurriedly dropped the skewer he was holding and grabbed Naomi, asking,

Naomi, what should I do now? Will Brendan kill me?”

“You were quite bold just now, weren’t you? Don’t be a coward now!”

“Was I really bold just now?”

“Very bold.

Ronald said in a panic, “No, you need to think of a way to save me.”

Later, Naomi gave Ronald some advice. She suggested that he should first hide at Bailey’s place.

However, Ronald insisted on changing his clothes to look more presentable before leaving. When he finally decided to leave, the elevator arrived at their floor.

“I’m sure that’s Brendan,”

Naomi said, “Hurry, replace a place to hide!”

As they returned to the apartment, the doorbell rang. Ronald rushed into the bedroom and said, “Naomi, please don’t betray me!”

Naomi pushed him and said, “Quickly, get inside!”

“Naomi, if you don’t open the door now, you can say goodbye to this apartment,” Brendan’s voice rang

from outside.

Naomi opened the door, crossing her arms lazily across her chest, and greeted him with a smirk, “Oh, why are you here, Mr. Ludwig?”

She was dressed in bright red pajamas, exuding a sense of laziness. At this moment, Naomi looked like a mischievous delinquent.

Brendan’s expression darkened as he entered and pushed Naomi aside. Then, he turned to Jason and ordered, “Make sure no one escapes.”

“Understood.”

Naomi adjusted her pajamas and followed Brendan into the apartment, demanding, “Brendan, what do you mean by this?”

Ignoring her, Brendan walked straight to the master bedroom.

Brendan scoured the room but found nothing. Naomi playfully said, “Are you looking for evidence of an

affair?”

I She continued, “Brendan, do you think I’m the type to hide things? If there were someone here, I would have flaunted it in front of you. There really is no one else here.”

Brendan pinched her cheek and said, “No one? Do you think I’m deaf?”

Naomi calmly made up a story to save Ronald from a harsh punishment. “I’ve been watching TV the whole time. What could you have possibly heard?”

Brendan chuckled and let go of her face, “Well, you’d better hope I don’t replace anything.

On his way here, he had already instructed Jason to check the surveillance cameras in Naomi’s residential area. No one had entered or left the building, so if someone was in her apartment, they couldn’t have escaped without being seen.

Naomi said, “Alright, I’ll help you search for the lover. Lover, where are you hiding?”

Brendan searched the bathroom as Naomi opened the door and called out, “Lover, are you here?”

Brendan was speechless.

They found no one in the bathroom. Naomi turned back to Brendan and said, “There’s no one here.” There’s no one here either.”
