After dinner, Ronald went with Bailey, while Naomi naturally went back to Yellowind Bay with Brendan. They chatted in the car and seemed to have a peaceful vibe going on.
Upon reaching the villa, Naomi had already fallen asleep. Brendan glanced at her for a while. Seeing that she wasn't going to wake up anytsoon, he got out of the car and carried her into the house.
As he held her, Brendan realized that her weight hadn't changed much from before. Her 5-foot-6-inch frstill felt light.

Brendan hummed and carried Naomi upstairs to lay her down on the bed.
Kneeling beside the bed, he looked at her and remembered what she had said to him that night. His push had caused her internal bleeding. Brendan's chest tightened uncomfortably at the thought.
He also recalled how she hadn't told him about her car accident last year and how she preferred to have Bailey take her to the hospital when she was sick instead of calling him.
Brendan stared at Naomi, thinking of the slap and the fire she had set. He didn't believe she had set the fire, but all the evidence pointed toward her.
They couldn't go back to how they used to be.
Naomi turned in bed, and Brendan stood up expressionlessly. Seeing that Naomi wasn't waking up, he pulled the blanket over her.
Meanwhile, just as Ronald dropped Bailey off at her house, Bailey's phone rang. It was Matthew. Annoyed, Bailey hung up the phone, but Matthew immediately called again.
Bailey groaned in frustration and answered the phone, "I'm going to bed. Let's talk about it tomorrow." On the other end of the line, Matthew remained calm and composed. "Chnow. The driver is behind you. Don't make it difficult for him." After Matthew finished speaking,/Bailey glanced behind her and saw the driver. Bailey hung up the phone abruptly, and the driver immediately opened the car door. "This way, please." Bailey blew a strand of hair away from her forehead and reluctantly got into the car.
She couldn't hide forever and would have to face Matthew eventually. It was better to go back and talk it out with him so he could give up on his hopes sooner.

Half an hour later, Bailey arrived home. Matthew, Pauline, and Pauline, and Estelle were all there. Before she entered the house; the three of them were happily chatting away. But as soon as she walked in, their faces turned grim, and the mood was ruined.
"You're back." Pauline sneered.
In the past, she used to at least feign senthusiasm. But as Bailey's relationship with Matthew grew increasingly strained, Pauline didn't even bother with the act again.
Bailey stuffed her hands in her pockets and looked at Matth indifferently Matthew, say what you have to say quickly. Don't waste my time."
