Perhaps Brendon’s love was sincere.
Perhaps he wanted to remarry her, not just because of Ayaan.
Ranita’s heart raced as she thought about it in a daze…
“Ranita, let me remind you! You said you liked me!” Brendon’s heart had never been so excited before. He looked at Ranita with anticipation and tightened his grip on her fingers. “Ranita, you like me.”
His silly expression scared Ranita.
“I didn’t… I…” Ranita tried to deny it but couldn’t get the words out of her throat.
“Ranita! You said it yourself! I heard you!”
“I…” Before Ranita could finish speaking, her phone rang from her pocket. Brendon frowned and grabbed the phone before she could reach for it.
It was Jedidiah calling.
“Why won’t he leave us alone?” Brendon grumbled with an unhappy look on his face.
“It’s my brother calling. Give me the phone!” Ranita struggled to take back the phone from him but failed as Brendon dodged away from her grasp.
“Give it to me!”
Amid the anxious ringing, the two of them rolled into a bundle.
Brendon’s clothes were torn open even more, revealing his solid abs. His belt was nowhere to be seen, giving him a somewhat carefree appearance that stirred Ranita’s shameful desires.
Ranita opened her eyes, annoyed, and reached out. “Give me the phone!”
In the past, when Ranita avoided looking at him, he always thought she was avoiding him, that she disliked him. But now it seemed to have a different meaning.
The slightly flushed cheeks and evasive gaze were clearly signs of shyness!
How daring and bold he was! Brendon leaned against the sofa, using his arms to lift her and place her on his lap.
The scene instantly became ambiguous and lascivious.
Ranita swallowed nervously, her heart pounding.
“Brendon, let go! I want to get down! And give me the phone!” Ranita emphasized, “Right now, immediately!”
Brendon sneered, “Do you really have to sit on my lap and answer his call?”
“It’s because you hugged me and made me sit on your lap!” Ranita’s heart ached from anger as she reached out to grab the phone. “Give it to me quickly. I advise you to give it to me as soon as possible, or else…”
“Or else what?”
…
At this moment, Jedidiah, who was making the call with a furrowed brow, had a serious expression.
George felt a little embarrassed and said, “She was dancing just now! Did she go to the restroom? Let’s go look for her together…”
Jedidiah nodded and they split up.
Ranita struggled to grab the phone but failed. She gritted her teeth and asked angrily, “Brendon, what do you want?”
“What do I want?! Can’t you see that I’m jealous?” Brendon smirked, showing an angry expression. “Ranita, do you like me more or Jedidiah more?”
“What’s there to compare?” Ranita retorted. “And besides, I never said I liked you! Don’t make assumptions!”
Brendon chuckled, “I have good hearing. You said you liked me while hugging my neck!”
“You’re going back on your words now that you’re sober?”
“Brendon, be reasonable! Can you trust the words spoken when drunk?”
“Drunk words are sober thoughts!” Brendon’s tongue was sharp, leaving Ranita questioning her life choices. Finally, Ranita resorted to being unreasonable. “I don’t care! Regardless, I don’t like you! Give me the phone quickly. My brother will worry if he can’t reach me…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Brendon pinched her waist and directly bit her lips.
“Ouch!” It really hurt!
Ranita was furious, about to explode, but suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a loud shout came, “Brendon, let go of my sister!”
