The ringing continued incessantly.
In the end, it disrupted the atmosphere. Ranita’s cheeks were flushed, but she had already regained her composure. She spoke softly, “You should answer the phone.”
“I won’t answer,” Brendon, now like a hunting wolf, had already caught his prey, but letting go was too difficult.
“Don’t worry about it!” Brendon, with his strong body, trapped her tightly, continuing to kiss her while reaching out from under the thin blanket to grab his phone and silence it.
But he didn’t see clearly and accidentally slid the answer key, also unintentionally hitting the speakerphone key.
In an instant, a choked voice filled with grievance and pure pitifulness came through, “Brendon… You finally answered my call… I’m sorry for disturbing you so late, I didn’t mean to…”
Ranita was moaning like a little cat, her body melting from the passionate kisses, and every sound was transmitted to the other end of the phone.
Shannon seemed to have swallowed a fly, her voice abruptly stopping. After a while, she trembled and asked, “Brendon, who are you with…?”
Ranita was frightened, and her hot desire instantly diminished.
Her long legs were still entangled with the man’s legs. She angrily punched him and gestured with her eyes for him to deal with Shannon quickly.
“Don’t worry about it,” Brendon said, pressing against her waist, continuing to kiss her.
“Brendon, you…” Ranita lowered her voice, but some of it leaked out. Shannon broke down crying, her voice hoarse and desperate, “Brendon, how could you do this to me!”
“I didn’t cancel the engagement with you, your words alone don’t count.”
“Brendon, you promised to marry me, how could you go back on your word… Without you, what meaning is there in my life!”
“I might as well die.”
The call abruptly ended.
The ambiguity in the room had long vanished. Ranita pursed her lips, put on her clothes, and looked down, asking, “Do you want to go and check?”
“It wouldn’t be good if something serious happened.” Ranita didn’t actually feel guilty, but she was afraid that Brendon would feel remorse.
“Do you want me to go?” Brendon’s breathing was still a bit rapid. He hugged her and placed a kiss on the corner of her lips. “Do you really want me to go?”
Ranita, with her reddened eyes, looked at him and shook her head. “I don’t want you to.”
“Then I won’t go.” Brendon knelt in front of her, reaching out to embrace her. His upper body was bare, his skin slightly sweaty and sticky, but his touch still made her blush and her heart race.
“I’ve canceled the engagement with her, her matters have nothing to do with me.” Brendon paused and said, “If you’re worried, I’ll have Caleb send someone to check on her.”
Brendon held her and lay on the bed. Ranita was light in his arms, placed on top of him.
Ranita’s chin rested on his chest, and she could hear his heartbeat if she listened closely.
Ranita’s arms held onto his waist, and after a long silence, she muttered, “Then send someone to check on her. Just don’t let anything really happen.”
“If… Shannon forces the situation to the point of death, would you go back to her?”
After all, Shannon had grown up with him since childhood, and they had so many years of friendship! Ranita didn’t have much confidence in herself, and after asking the question, her heart felt empty.
“I won’t.” Brendon pinched her cheek. “Don’t worry, I have you and Ayaan.”
Ranita felt like her heart was about to fly.
She was so happy.
Ranita’s face was pressed against his chest, and she chuckled softly, “Hmm, I’m actually quite happy.”
“Hmm!” Brendon responded coolly, his eyes suddenly dark and intense as he stared at her, and he leisurely said, “If you keep moving like that, I won’t be polite.”
