Ranita remained silent.
She had been silent for a long time, and finally went to get a glass and handed it to Jedidiah, saying, “Brother, give me one too.”
Jedidiah didn’t pour her a drink. “You’ve had enough to drink tonight.”
Ranita pursed her lips and said hoarsely, “Brother, I’m sorry…”
“You have always had a good temperament since childhood, and later on, you did well in school, became independent and decisive. If there is something you don’t want to do, no one can force you. If you didn’t have Brendon in your heart, how could you possibly marry him?”
Jedidiah knew her very well.
“Brother…” Ranita didn’t know what to say, “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have kept it a secret from you and our parents.”
“You did make a mistake in this matter, but since it’s already in the past, let’s not dwell on it!” Jedidiah paused and then asked, “So what do you plan to do now?”
“What can I do? Don’t you know he’s going to marry someone else?” Ranita’s lips were filled with bitterness.
Speaking of this, Jedidiah was very angry.
Brendon was such a jerk, he was getting married to other women but still clinging onto Ranita. He had no shame.
“You fool! You still have feelings for him even though you know he’s getting married!”
“Brother… I think I loved him too much before, give me some time.” Ranita’s heart was already in a knot after saying this. She knew how difficult it would be to forget Brendon.
“Four years isn’t enough?” Jedidiah said, frustrated. He hated to be harsh on his sister, but he couldn’t help it. “Never mind, forget what I said. Just be prepared because Mom is worried about you raising a child alone and she plans to introduce you to someone during her birthday party. You might have a blind date.”
Ranita was speechless.
This topic was a bit heavy.
“Isn’t Mom taking care of Dad every day? How could she still have the energy to think about this?” Ranita sighed and snatched Jedidiah’s glass, drinking it all in one gulp.
“Ranita! You were told not to drink, but you still did it!”
“I can’t even have a drink over such a sad thing?!” Pausing for a moment, Ranita leaned on the table and said, “I’ll tell my mother tomorrow that I want to focus on my career and don’t want to remarry.”
“Hehe!” Jedidiah chuckled and reached out to rub her head. “You should think about Ayaan too, not just yourself. He’s getting older and what if he develops psychological issues from feeling like he doesn’t have a father?”
“I just woke him up and then went to get the red wine,” Ranita said.
She had wanted to go check on her son, but with alcohol on her breath, she decided to wait until after she showered.
“There’s one more thing. Once Dad’s feeling better, are you planning on staying here or…?” Jedidiah brought up the topic with a heavy heart. As a family member, he naturally hoped that Ranita would stay in Steland.
But Brendon came from the Stuart family and they were known for being difficult to deal with. What if they found out about Ayaan and tried to take him away?
Although it wasn’t like they were afraid of the Stuart family, it was still concerning for their child’s well-being.
In this case, it might be better for Ranita to stay abroad with Ayaan…
“Let’s talk about that later! Right now Dad just had surgery and needs special care for at least two months before he can start recovering…”
“Brother, I can’t just ignore anything involving our family,” Ranita sighed.
To be honest, even if she wanted to leave, she couldn’t bear leaving without peace of mind.
