NovelAppChapter 280 Naomi's question prompted Brendan to glance at her as he kept both hands on the wheels. "I'll choose to be with you. My decision will not change, even if Sophia is still alive." Naomi's gaze lingered on Brendan. It seemed childish of her to ask the question earlier. Hypothetical questions held little weight; life rarely had many "what ifs".
After a moment, Brendan turned to look at Naomi.
She smiled at him before shifting her gaze back to the road ahead. Thoughts of the two encounters with the Maserati crossed her mind. Ronald should have investigated the matter by now.
Soon after, Brendan and Naomi arrived home. Jennifer greeted them cheerfully. "Mr.

However, she felt slightly embarrassed about wrongly assuming about Naomi's pregnancy the previous time. After exchanging greetings with Jennifer, Brendan and Naomi headed to the dining room as dinner was served. Naomi had been feeling normal on the journey back. However, the moment she saw the fish brought in by the servant, she suddenly felt unwell again.
She furrowed her brows. She used to enjoy eating fish. Yet, she couldn't tolerate the smell of fish for the past few days.
Brendan handed her a bowl of mushroom soup and asked, "Are you unwell?" After drinking a mouthful of water, Naomi responded, "My stomach is still feeling slightly uncomfortable. Brendan set the bowl of mushroom soup before her and then instructed Jennifer to remove the fish dish. Chapter 280 2/3 As Jennifer carried the dish away, she murmured, “This is strange. How could she not be pregnant?" Naomi had always been fond of eating fish, but suddenly she felt nauseous at the smell of it. In addition, she had been sleeping earlier than usual.
Her symptoms were clearly indicative of an early pregnancy.
Jennifer had given birth to two children and had experience taking care of pregnant women before working for the Ludwig family.
Given her wealth of experience, it was impossible for her to misjudge Naomi's pregnancy.
Jennifer carried the fish dish back to the kitchen with a puzzled expression. She thought of making Naomi chicken soup the next day, a dish suited for someone experiencing stomach discomfort.
After they finished dinner, Naomi rushed to take a hot bath before lying on the bed. Now that Ivan's case was settled, she could finally have a good night's rest for the next two days.
Seeing Naomi lie on the bed motionless and deep in thought, Brendan sat on the bedside and started to massage her neck. “Something on your mind?" Naomi turned to her side and said, "I'm thinking about today's case. Human nature is so complex. Luckily, we had Ronald's and the courageous kid's help.

Surprised by Brendan's sudden withdrawal, Naomi looked at him and asked, "Why did you stop?"
Brendan stood up and said icily, "Since you are so close to Ronald, to why don't you ask him for a massage instead?" Naomi chuckled and nudged Brendan with her right foot. "Are you jealous?" Chapter 280 Brendan swatted her feet and said, "Get your foot off me." When Naomi first took on the case, Brendan had offered his assistance in case she encountered any difficulties.
However, she'd rejected his offer, preferring not to involve him in work matters, it turned but that she'd sought Ronald's help instead. Was she disregarding Brendan?
Seeing that Brendan was about to leave, Naomi sat up at the foot of the Up at bed and reached out to prevent him from leaving. "Don't overthink things! Ronald has nothing to do. Since he's quite good at computers, I decided to make use of his skills. If not, it would be such a waste of his talent." Act Fast: Free Bonus Tis Running Out! X X
