Who’s the Dog Now? novel Chapter 245

Naomi's mind was full of question marks. “Wait, how is that a confession?”

She was just trying to think of a way to help Ronald.

Maybe the plan was a bit awkward for her and Lennon, but it wasn't a big deal, was it?

They were just pretending, after all. It's not like they were actually getting married for Ronald's sake.

“How is it not?”

“There are plenty of ways you could have helped him, right? Why was that the first idea that popped into your head?”

“You could have pretended to be his older brother and sister, just picking him up together. No one would have asked questions, and you wouldn't have had to explain. But you subconsciously blurted out 'pretend to be his mom and dad.' You know what that's called? A Freudian slip!”

Naomi's eyes went wide.

“No, I didn't think that at all, I...”

Patricia looked Naomi up and down a few times, a teasing expression on her face. “Why are you getting so flustered? Are you that worried Lennon will misunderstand?”

Naomi shook her head so vigorously it was like a bobblehead.

“It's not that...”

“I just think the whole thing is so awkward.”

Naomi didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart to Patricia.

She scratched her head in frustration, her face scrunched up. “Ugh, I don't know how to explain it...”

The more Patricia watched, the more suspicious Naomi's behavior seemed.

“Have you ever heard the saying?”

“The more you care, the more cautious you become. Looking at you now, it's obvious you've started to fall for Lennon. That's why you're being so careful, so afraid of upsetting him.”

Naomi pressed her lips together.

“He's my boss...”

Shouldn't she be careful? Her job was on the line.
