Chapter 22
Brendan had soft lips. Indeed, he was great at kissing.
After a while, Naci could feel her legs weakening from the kiss.
With her arms around his neck and her chin resting on his shoulder, she thought that they would start making out.
Brendan bit Naomi's ears all of a sudden, exhaled hot breath, and whispered, "Naomi, your aunt is here."
At first, Naomi didn't react, thinking that her aunt had just gone abroad for a trip recently.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The next second, she realized that Brendan was referring to her period. She then let go of Brendan, pulled at her pajamas, and turned to look. All she could see was a bright red spot on her butt.
At that moment, Naomi couldn't even cry.
She had lost her precious opportunity.
Naomi raised her head and gazed at Brendan.

Brendan looked up. "You're still not getting changed?"
If he was unwilling to do anything, there was nothing Naomi could do. Opposingly, Naomi couldn't get away either.

Sitting on the bed, Brendan put down the book in his hands.
"I'm almost done. There's no need to walt for me," Naomi answered.
"You're just a lawyer, but you're busier than me," Brendan sald as he picked the book back up.
"I still need to fulfill my responsibilities as a lawyer," Naomi responded.
After a while, when Brendan was still reading his book, Naomi suddenly rushed over, lifted her leg, and straddled him.
Brendan calmly looked at Naomi. "Since you're snuggling into my arms now, it seems like your period is over."
"Can't I do it even when it's not over?" Naomi asked.
As she was speaking, she twisted a few times on purpose,
Again, Brendan put down the book in his hands and held Naomi's waist with his arms. "Let's just talk"
"There's nothing to talk about. I'm just in a good mood,” Naomi answered.
Taking on a major case today had made her happy.
