A Successful Career After Divorce

“Ranita? Ranita?” As the lights suddenly turned on, Brendon was so scared by Ranita’s appearance that he felt like his soul was about to leave his body.

“What’s wrong?”

“Cramp… it hurts so much…” Ranita’s eyes turned red and she softly cried out in pain upon seeing Brendon.

Brendon asked while massaging her calf, “Does it hurt here?”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Um… hiss…” Ranita lay on the bed, her face looking pitiful with a red tail of her eye due to pain. Her watery eyes stared at him and she said, “Use a little more force.”

Brendon’s fingers were strong, and he kneaded away some of the pain.

Ranita felt much better, her voice with a nasal tone as if she was coquettishly saying, “Brendon, go up a bit, it hurts there!”

The woman’s calves were slender, with pale skin, and still tender and moist.

Brendon felt the heat on his fingertips, which made his heart also warm up! The man lowered his eyes and moved his fingers up slightly, asking in a low voice, “Is this it?”

“Right, right, right…”

Brendon rubbed for half an hour, sweating profusely, and then went to prepare some hot water for Ranita. He came back and bent down to carry her into the bathroom.

“Take a hot bath and relax your muscles,” he said.

Essential oils with a rose scent were added to the hot water for aromatherapy.

“Put me down!” Ranita shrunk in Brendon’s arms, her face turning red with belated realization. “I can come by myself.”

“You’re still shy with me?” Brendon’s face was cold, and his sarcastic words were extremely flat and calm.

By comparison, Ranita felt that she had lost thoroughly.

After being married for three years, she still felt nervous every time she faced him.

“Not… I want to do it myself.” Ranita turned her face away, her ears turning red, clearly lying.

Brendon let go of her and his fingers landed on her collar. “I’ll help you undo it.”

“Can we just leave it at that?”

Ranita’s eyes widened slightly and she backed away like a frightened Persian cat. “No, it’s okay… I can do it myself… ah!”

She stepped back.

The leg that was cramping suddenly lost its strength, causing her body to lean towards the wall. Luckily, Brendon quickly caught her and said, “Be careful!”

“If your foot hurts, don’t move around too much,” Brendon paused and crouched down, grabbing her right foot and gently pressing on her calf.

“It was already injured and now it’s cramping up, so it’s definitely uncomfortable.”

Ranita blushed under his gaze.

“Oh, no… my leg doesn’t hurt anymore. I can manage on my own.” At the hospital, she was still in shock and not thinking straight.

But now that she was back home, there was no way she could let Brendon help her again.

“You need to leave!” Ranita grabbed his hand and pushed him towards the door. Brendon didn’t want her to fall, so he placed his hand on her waist. “Be careful not to fall!”

Ranita blushed even more at his words.

“I won’t! I’m not a three-year-old…” But before she could finish her sentence, Ranita lost her balance and they both fell into the nearby bathtub with a loud splash.

“Whoosh!”

Ranita instantly became drenched like a drowned rat while Brendon wasn’t any better off as he choked on some water!

Feeling apologetic towards Brendon, Ranita tried to get up and grab him a towel but found herself trapped by him instead. His eyes were dark as he looked at her wet shirt which revealed some of his honey-colored chest skin that glistened in the light with an alluring quality about it.

He tilted his head slightly and teased, “So you wanted me to join you for a bath?”
