“I didn’t mean to do that just now… Ranita, can you not be angry with me?” The tone was pleading, as if deeply wronged. Especially those misty eyes, looking pitifully at Brendon. “Brendon, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“I just saw you were so happy.”
“Brendon, I’m so happy you came to pick me up here! As long as you’re here, I feel like I can get better without taking medicine.” On the surface, it sounded like Shannon had deep feelings for Brendon, but thinking deeper, it was almost like moral blackmail.
So if Shannon isn’t well, it’s Brendon’s responsibility?
Ranita glanced at Brendon out of the corner of her eye, noticing his expressionless face, his brows furrowed. She said, “Did you deliberately not see me just now?”
Ranita asked bluntly, making Shannon’s innocent look a bit unsustainable. She said, “Ranita, I… I didn’t mean that, I just…”
“Don’t say you didn’t mean that. If you’re truly sorry, apologize properly instead of giving me these vague excuses. I need to get something, please move aside.” With that, Ranita looked at Brendon, her gaze slightly cold.
Brendon moved his lips but didn’t say anything in the end.
Ranita was actually a bit disappointed.
Perhaps because she was too strong-willed, she always felt a bit aggrieved. Brendon clearly said he loved her, clearly said he wanted to raise Ayaan with her, so why couldn’t he favor her a little more?
What she wanted wasn’t much.
Just a little more favor in front of others.
Unfortunately, the result always hurt people’s hearts.
Ranita walked forward with her bag. After a few steps, the gate of a nearby villa opened, and Ayaan rushed out from inside, with Dylan chasing after him. “Mommy!” Ayaan ran over and grabbed Ranita’s hand, acting spoiled. “Mommy, why did you take so long to come back? I’ve been waiting for you!”
As he spoke, Ayaan saw Brendon not far away, originally wanting to run over but then saw Shannon. His big eyes rolled around, tilting his head sweetly. “Daddy! Come help Mommy carry things!”
“Ranita, I’ll help you.” Just then, Dylan also came out of the door and took the things from Ranita’s hand, “Why did you come back so late?”
Ranita was about to reply when Shannon interrupted directly.
“Mr. Webster, long time no see! I thought Ranita was living somewhere else, turns out she’s here with you! You’re really good to her and Ayaan!” Shannon’s tone was strange, but Dylan was not at all guilty, instead straightforwardly admitting, “Of course! Ranita is my friend, being good to her and Ayaan is normal, isn’t it?”
“Is it normal for your friends to treat you badly before you think it’s normal? Then you should be careful, stay away from such friends.” Dylan finished speaking, holding the things in one hand and pushing open the gate with the other, letting Ranita in.
“Ayaan, come back. Don’t talk to strangers, or you might get kidnapped!” Dylan didn’t have a good impression of Shannon and Brendon at all, naturally not being polite in his speech.
Shannon pouted dissatisfiedly, “Mr. Webster, what are you talking about! My friends are very good to me! Besides, Ayaan is Brendon’s child, we haven’t been good enough to him yet!”
“You’re so bad, saying these things in front of a child, teaching him bad manners.”
