Brendon was raised by Wyatt since childhood, and he didn’t have much of a relationship with his parents. Later, when Amiya had a car accident and Ewan completely abandoned the family, Amiya’s emotions became even more extreme.
“I respect you, but please don’t make decisions for me!” Brendon said calmly, then added, “The issues between Shannon and me, we will handle ourselves. Please don’t interfere.”
“And also, please manage your emotions regarding Ranita. Don’t hurt her.”
As soon as Ranita was mentioned, Amiya immediately became displeased. “Brendon, since you brought up Ranita, let’s have a good talk. What are you going to do about that child?”
“Have you done a paternity test? Are you sure it’s your child?”
“If it is indeed a child of our family, already born, then I will bring them back to raise! Shannon is not unreasonable. When she marries in, she will take good care of the child.”
Amiya said everything she shouldn’t have said.
Brendon looked at Amiya with cold eyes, his tone even more indifferent than before. “Ayaan is my son, there’s no doubt about it.”
“As for his upbringing, only Ranita can decide.”
Brendon’s long, narrow eyes, when looking down at someone, appeared lazy and indifferent, sending shivers down Amiya’s spine. She felt uncomfortable being looked at like that.
“Brendon, since it’s a child of the family, how can it…”
“Mom, it’s getting late, you should rest!” Brendon waved for a servant and said, “Take Madam back to her room to rest.”
“Brendon, you…” Amiya frowned, her expression dark as if she wanted to devour someone. She was about to speak when Brendon calmly said, “Ewan has always wanted to come back to Kurima.”
Amiya suddenly deflated.
In the Stuart family, Brendon was her biggest support. Amiya still respected him, “Alright, I’ll go rest!”
Brendon sent Amiya away and returned to deal with his work.
After some time passed, Brendon opened one of the drawers, where there was an old notebook and a cellphone.
All belonging to Ranita.
He had flipped through the notebook many times, each time feeling extremely agitated. But this cellphone, although fully charged, he had never opened it because he didn’t know the password.
Brendon picked up the phone and looked at the numeric keypad, with doubts in his mind, he entered his own birthday…
The screen flashed.
Brendon looked at the phone in disbelief. It actually opened!
His birthday?
How was that possible? Ranita’s phone password was actually his birthday… Because he knew Ranita had someone in her heart, Brendon never dared to think that her phone password would be related to him.
Ranita’s phone was very clean.
But the notes were all about him, work requirements, habits, even daily outfits and meal combinations were neatly arranged.
Brendon’s heart felt indescribably uncomfortable.
During the years they were married, she really did a good job, she was a qualified wife, a qualified daughter-in-law, and even a qualified subordinate.
Ranita restrained her talent and sharpness, quietly staying by his side… just being Brendon’s assistant.
“Ranita… you silly girl.”
“Brendon, you fool!” Brendon felt truly foolish; why hadn’t he seen Ranita’s feelings for him earlier?
If he had known sooner… would they be in this situation now?
Unfortunately, there was no way to know earlier.
Brendon’s eyes were already red.
