The teeth marks were conspicuous, like a special mark.
The exclusive mark Brendon left on Ranita made him feel ecstatic.
“If I don’t explain, would you assume there’s something between Mr. Terry and me?” Ranita retorted.
Her eyes were a little teary.
She wanted his trust, just a little bit would be enough.
Ranita was always easily satisfied with Brendon. Just a kind word from him could make her happy for a long time.
The one who loved first was destined to be at a disadvantage.
Ranita held her breath with frustration in her chest. Her heart started to ache. “I don’t want to explain.”
Brendon pursed his lips and looked at her intently. After a while, he said, “Hmm, if you don’t want to say, then don’t.”
His attitude caught Ranita off guard.
“You really don’t want me to say?”
“You see, when I asked you to say, you didn’t want to. Now you…” Brendon chuckled softly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. He reached out and pinched her cheek. “You’re as childish as Ayaan.”
“Ayaan isn’t childish!” Suddenly, Ayaan’s voice came.
Ayaan was leaning against the wall, his big eyes rolling as he observed them. He had a beaming smile, looking like a little adult.
Ranita was extremely embarrassed. She pushed Brendon and said, “Our son is watching!”
“Ayaan, can Daddy hug and kiss Mommy?” Brendon generously blinked at the little one. “Or maybe you can come over too?”
Upon hearing this, the little one immediately rushed over, his short hands hugging Ranita’s leg on one side and Brendon’s leg on the other. He looked up with an adorable face and said, “Daddy, Mommy, Ayaan wants a hug.”
Ranita felt warmth in her heart. She reached out and placed her hand on her son’s back, but unexpectedly, Brendon’s hand also landed there.
“Hehehe!” Ayaan chuckled happily, his excitement evident.
The little one was grinning from ear to ear, jumping up and down. “Ayaan is so happy.”
Ranita’s heart softened.
This was the scene she had longed for countless times-a happy and content family together.
All those years of daydreaming were now realized in this moment.
Ranita’s heart was filled with both sourness and sweetness.
In the evening, Brendon made a reservation at a restaurant and took them out for dinner. Afterward, they strolled around the mall together and eventually ended up in an arcade.
Brendon held Ayaan as they played a motorcycle racing game. Ayaan was so thrilled that he couldn’t help but shout in excitement. Being a boy, he wasn’t scared at all and was as excited as a little monkey.
Ranita watched from the side and couldn’t help but take out her phone to snap a photo.
In the past, she never dared to imagine what Brendon would be like with a child. Now that she saw it, she realized he would definitely be a good father.
“Hmm?” Brendon was perceptive. “Are you taking a photo?”
Caught in the act, Ranita felt embarrassed but admitted honestly, “You rarely play with Ayaan, so I wanted to take some pictures for you.”
Upon hearing this, Brendon immediately waved at her. “Come over here.”
Ranita pursed her lips and walked over, asking, “What is it? Do you want something?”
“Stand a little closer!” The game paused at the perfect moment, and Brendon took her hand, pulling her closer to him. “If we’re taking photos, let’s take them together.”
Ranita hesitated, but the man took her phone from her hand and extended his long arm to aim at them. “Come a bit closer.”
“Mommy, you come closer too.”
Ayaan impolitely wrapped his arms around both of them, but he was too small to hold them tightly.
Brendon smiled and adjusted his position for him.
As a result, Ranita ended up leaning against Brendon’s shoulder, close to him. Ranita stole a glance at him, and before she knew it, the phone clicked…
