Ranita didn’t believe it at all!
“Ranita… *cough cough*,” Brendon coughed hard, his face turning an abnormal shade of red.
Worried, Ranita quickly went over to help him lie down. “Are you okay?”
“I feel a bit uncomfortable!” Brendon smiled at her. “I’m much better now!”
“Serves you right! You’re in pain and yet you still kissed me…” Ranita couldn’t continue her sentence, biting her teeth as she pounded him. “Well, you deserve it.”
Ranita had just come to check on him. If there was nothing else, she planned to leave.
“You rest, I’ll go back first. Ayaan is waiting for me at home!”
Upon hearing this, Brendon immediately wailed, “Ranita, are you planning to leave me like this?”
“I’m in pain!”
“Where does it hurt? I’ll call a doctor…” Ranita tried to leave but was stopped by the man’s finger. “No need! Just talking to me is enough.”
Ranita turned her gaze back to Brendon, looking at him carefully.
Brendon didn’t seem like the usual Brendon… but Ranita actually liked this version of Brendon better. There was less distance between them, and they got along better.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Brendon felt guilty. There was nothing wrong with him, he just wanted Ranita to stay and keep him company.
He wanted to spend more time with Ranita.
“It’s nothing…” Ranita hesitated for a moment but decided to speak her mind.
Her tone was calm, and she carefully chose her words. She said, “Brendon, I admit that I have feelings for you, but until you sort out your relationship with Shannon, let’s see each other less.”
“You rest well, I’m leaving now.”
Ranita wanted to love him openly and honestly.
Before leaving, Ranita poured him a cup of water and quickly walked away.
As soon as she left, Brendon held the cup of water and called Allen in frustration.
“Allen… didn’t you say Ranita is cold-hearted on the outside but soft-hearted on the inside? If I pretend to be sick, she would surely take care of me, right?”
Allen looked innocent, “I did say that, but Brendon, can’t you show some sincerity? You want to reconcile with Ranita, but you need to handle… Shannon first! You’re someone else’s fiancé now, how can you expect Ranita to soften her heart?”
Allen clenched his teeth. If it wasn’t his own cousin, he would have wanted to hit him.
What kind of scumbag! He was engaged to someone else and still wanted to reconcile with his ex-wife…
“Brendon, I really advise you to come back to Kurima and handle this matter. The issue between you and Ranita is complicated by Shannon. With her around, you…”
Brendon knew it too, but dealing with Shannon was truly challenging.
Last time he went back to Kurima, it ended up in a big fight before he could even say a word. Shannon cried and ran away without letting him speak.
Brendon rubbed his temples, sounding helpless. “I’m trying to figure it out! But Ranita is so outstanding, all those men are flocking around her!”
“After she went home, her mother even arranged blind dates for her! What if she finds someone she likes… what should I do?”
Upon hearing this, Allen felt somewhat relieved.
There were plenty of good men in the world, and Ranita deserved them! But Brendon was his elder brother, his family, so he could only reluctantly express sympathy, “You’re really pitiful!”
“Brendon, work hard. If you’re sincere, you’ll be able to win Ranita’s heart back.”
In Allen’s mind, if Ranita came back and became his sister-in-law, he would be happy. He couldn’t stand Shannon, that woman.
