It was a waste of time and effort without achieving any results.
In the end, Ranita gave up on the idea.
“Brother, I know you’re angry, and I’m angry too, but the most affected by this will be Ayaan. In case Amiya refuses to let go and wants to take the child back…”
Jedidiah sneered, “They dare!”
Ranita sighed, “Brother, let’s just let this matter go for now!” She would seek revenge when the opportunity arose!
Jedidiah said irritably, “You really…”
“Fine! How is Ayaan? Is he okay? What a silly boy, following anyone without thinking. He usually seems so smart…”
Jedidiah was genuinely angry, even directing his anger towards Ayaan.
Ranita sighed, “Brother, don’t scold him! Ayaan has met Holly before, so he must have done it on purpose!”
After a pause, Ranita added, “I have already talked to him. He said he won’t do it again and that he will apologize to his Grandma when he goes back.”
She knew her son well. Ayaan was intelligent, but sometimes he could be infuriating.
“Is he not going to apologize to me?” Jedidiah asked.
“Of course he will! When we go back, you can give him a good scolding to let off some steam,” Ranita said, and then she heard Jedidiah’s low laughter, “Alright, can I bear to scold him? As long as he’s safe!”
Ranita was about to speak when the doorbell suddenly rang.
It wasn’t early, so who would come to see her at this time? Ranita hung up the phone and opened the door.
Through the crack in the door, she saw Shannon’s fair face.
“Ranita, it’s me! Can I come in?”
Ranita frowned, “I’m sorry, I need to rest.”
Shannon bit her lip, her voice soft, “Ranita, is Brendon here? Has he come to see you again?”
“There’s no one here that you’re looking for…” Ranita coldly looked at Shannon, “Miss Murphy, please leave.”
“Ranita!” Shannon reached out and held onto the door frame. If Ranita closed the door, Shannon’s hand would be injured.
Ranita’s eyes turned icy, “Let go! Or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Ranita, I don’t mean any harm! I apologize for what happened today. It wasn’t intentional! I came here now just to find Brendon… I just want to talk to him for a moment…”
“I told you, he’s not here!” Ranita became annoyed, “Can’t you understand human language?”
Shannon seemed unconvinced and pleaded, “Ranita, please let me in to see Brendon, okay? He’s my fiancé, you can’t stop me from meeting him…”
“I said he’s not here with me!”
“I don’t believe it unless you let me in to see for myself…” Shannon finally made the call, but Brendon didn’t answer, otherwise she wouldn’t have come to the hotel on her own.
Brendon was indeed not there, but Ranita didn’t want Shannon to come in either. She found the air in the room where Shannon had stayed repulsive and disgusting.
“This is my room, and I don’t want you to come in! If you don’t leave, I’ll call security…” Ranita sneered and closed the door directly.
However, Shannon exerted great strength and forcefully pushed the door, barging inside.
“Shannon, what are you doing…” Ranita tried to stop her but was pushed back a few steps, almost losing her balance and falling to the ground.
Shannon rushed inside, calling out in a tender voice, “Brendon…”
“Shannon, have you gone mad! Get out!” Ranita feared that Shannon might harm Ayaan and quickly blocked her.
The room was luxurious, but it was clear at a glance that Brendon wasn’t there.
