The two of them were still tightly pressed together, their passion continuously rising. Ranita looked at Brendon but didn’t say anything. Brendon looked at her without speaking either. In the almost scorching atmosphere, only the ringing of the phone persisted.
Brendon’s body was burning hot, and Ranita felt uncomfortable being pressed against him.
“Let go first and answer the call!” The phone kept ringing, indicating it was something important.
Brendon didn’t move and only said after a while, “Help me grab the phone.”
Ranita was pressed against Brendon, making it convenient to grab the phone, but she still felt embarrassed. Brendon’s anger was too intense, and he kept rubbing against her, causing her face to blush.
“You grab it yourself! I’m getting up!” Ranita pulled his hand and struggled to get up. Looking down at Brendon, her gaze swept over his legs, making her blush even more.
Brendon also got up to answer the phone.
Ranita noticed his change in expression, pursed her lips, and made a guess in her heart.
Sure enough, she soon heard Brendon speak, “Shannon, what’s wrong?”
“Brendon… fell… come over…” Ranita only caught some vague words, but she could guess what it was about. It was probably something unfortunate that happened to Shannon, and she was feeling sad and in need of Brendon’s care.
Shannon’s usual tricks, and Brendon couldn’t ignore them.
“Is it serious?” Brendon pursed his lips and looked at Ranita. “Can you get up and put on some clothes now?”
Not wearing clothes? Oh no! Ranita raised an eyebrow and gave Brendon a cold look, tidying her clothes and preparing to leave.
But her hand was held down.
Brendon didn’t let her go.
“You fell in the bathroom, and it’s not convenient for me as a man to go in. Call Cindy to come and check on you, or I’ll ask the female manager from the hotel to come over…”
After Brendon finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone and held Ranita’s wrist, saying, “Where are you going?”
“It doesn’t concern me whether you go and play the hero.” Ranita frowned, her expression cold. “Don’t touch me, let go.”
Brendon looked deeply into her eyes. The obvious displeasure on her delicate face, with the corners of her eyes raised, made her look a bit fierce.
Ranita’s appearance was not as sweet as Shannon’s, but had a more dignified and assertive quality, so when she had a cold expression, it created a sense of distance.
But Brendon happened to like that.
At the beginning of their marriage, it was fine. He thought Ranita was just a beautiful puppet who obeyed Wyatt’s commands for money. But the more they interacted, Brendon realized that Ranita was a capable and competent woman.
Ewan and Amiya’s marriage wasn’t a happy one. Due to family influences and his own personality, he wasn’t easily swayed. However, Ranita managed to open his heart, and despite being small, a stubborn love flower bloomed.
“Ranita, are you angry?” Brendon smiled, his voice low. “I didn’t go.”
“I’m not angry! And it’s none of my business whether you go or not.” Ranita couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really not going? What if she’s bleeding from a head injury? Aren’t you concerned?”
Brendon felt elated by her sour tone. He knew that Ranita had feelings for him too.
Brendon tightly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, his voice slightly hoarse. “Ranita, you said you’re not angry, but your face is puffed up!”
Brendon’s body covered her, and he hugged her tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder and saying with a smile, “I… am a little happy.”
