“Hehe! Words are empty.” Jedidiah sneered, “Ranita, stop indulging him. You and Ayaan come back to the Stuart family, we should be together as a family.”
Ranita felt uneasy. She loved Brendon too much. She wanted to retract, but four years weren’t enough… she needed more time. Unfortunately, fate didn’t give her more time.
Let him meet Ayaan.
Also, let her reunite with him.
Going round and round, she still tangled with him, unable to cut the ties, pulling and pushing until now.
“Jedidiah, I’ve matured more than before, I know how to handle this. You can rest assured!” Ranita took a deep breath, “After I finish things here, I’ll take Ayaan home.”
“I’ll explain to my parents properly then. You talk to Dad and ask him not to get excited, I’m afraid he’ll strain himself.”
Ranita’s mind was a bit chaotic as she hung up the phone. She really didn’t expect Lena to be so disgusting and actually go directly to the Stuart family.
The more Ranita thought about it, the angrier she became, unable to resist calling Shannon. The phone connected, and a woman’s voice rang out coquettishly and sweetly: “Ranita, is it really you? I thought I was mistaken!”
“Ranita, do you have something to find me for?” Shannon continued on her own, “I… I want to apologize to you first! I really didn’t expect the online thing to develop like this, I’m sorry!”
As she spoke, Shannon began to sob pitifully.
Even through the phone, Ranita was disgusted to the point of wanting to vomit her dinner. She suppressed her anger, “You don’t need to apologize to me, your apologies are like farting!”
“I’m not calling about the online thing, I just want you to tell your mother not to come to my house to harass my family.”
“If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
As Ranita’s impolite words fell, Shannon cried even more fiercely, her voice tinged with a deliberate softness: “Ranita, I really didn’t know… I didn’t do such a thing! I really didn’t!”
“I fainted accidentally during the live broadcast last night, I’m not acting… I really wasn’t feeling well, please don’t scold me anymore, okay?”
Ranita’s temples throbbed.
“Shannon, who’s scolding you! I’m telling you about your mother harassing my family! Don’t play dumb with me.” Ranita knew Shannon must be acting to show someone, maybe Brendon, maybe the media. But Ranita didn’t care.
“Shannon, who are you saying this to? Brendon? You’re really funny! I didn’t want to be so shameless before, become a topic, but if you continue to provoke me, then I’ll see who’s quicker to stink.”
“The fake pregnancy, you shouldn’t have forgotten about it!”
Shannon’s crying abruptly stopped.
“Ranita, why are you treating me this way…” Shannon choked with sobs. The phone was hung up with a thud, followed by a familiar man’s shout, “Shannon, what are you doing! Get down quickly!”
“*I don’t want to live anymore! Brendon, if you don’t want me, what’s the point of me being alive! Just let me die!”
“After waiting for seven whole years… But what about you? You promised to marry me home, why aren’t you keeping your word? Just because Ranita gave birth to your child?”
“I really can’t accept it, I can give you children if you want, I can even give you my heart, but why are you treating me like this…”
