A Successful Career After Divorce

“Was Ranita just speaking out of anger, or does she really not want a divorce?” Brendon thought for a moment before taking her hand and holding it tightly in his palm. He noticed that Ranita’s fingers were trembling.

“Ranita…” he began, but she quickly pulled her hand away, feeling uneasy and nervous about how Brendon would react.

“I’m sorry… I spoke out of turn earlier,” she said, biting her lip. She was afraid that Brendon would be angry with her for changing her mind about the divorce.

But instead of getting upset, Brendon interrupted her and said firmly, “If you don’t want to leave me, then we won’t get divorced.”

“Ah?” Ranita was stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly surged like a tsunami, causing a commotion.

What did Brendon mean? Were they really not getting divorced?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ranita’s mind went blank, and she couldn’t think calmly anymore. Did Brendon know what he was saying?

“What did you say?” Ranita asked again. Was she hallucinating?

Brendon looked at her foolish expression and chuckled softly, “I said, if you don’t want to, we won’t get divorced.”

This time, Ranita pricked up her ears and heard it clearly!

Her eyes became heavy, and her breath almost stopped.

“What you said… is it true? Don’t joke with me, I’ll take it seriously.” Ranita’s heart exploded like a brilliant firework, and her eyes lit up.

Brendon’s mind wandered.

“It’s true. If you don’t want to… we’ll just stay like before.” Brendon paused, “We can’t stop by the roadside for too long, let’s talk about it when we get home.”

Brendon drove to a store called Treasures and Trinkets.

Ranita got out of the car, and her hand was immediately held by Brendon. She listened as Brendon explained, “This weekend is The Old Mr. Webster’s birthday, and I’ve prepared a gift for him. Let’s go get it first.”

The Old Mr. Webster’s birthday was a big celebration in Kurima, and many prominent families attended the banquet, making it a lively scene.

In previous years, Ranita hadn’t attended, as Brendon would take Holly instead.

It was not that Brendon didn’t take her, but rather Amiya always felt unwell on that day, needing Ranita to take care of her.

Amiya had a difficult personality, and she always gave Ranita a hard time.

This year, she left Boulderland Mansion and forgot all about it.

“Oh yeah… I forgot too,” Ranita pursed her lips. “Can you help me pick out a gift for the Old Mr. Webster?”

Brendon reminded her, “Watch out for the threshold.” Then he added, “You can just come with me when I go. We’re a team now, so whatever I give is what you give.”

A team.

The words made Ranita feel bitter inside.

What was Brendon thinking? They weren’t getting divorced anymore – what about Shannon? She shouldn’t be thinking like this from Ranita’s perspective, but love is selfish. She hoped that Brendon only had room in his heart for her and not get caught up with Shannon.

If that was the case, they might as well just get divorced.

“What are you thinking about? You’ve been staring off into space,” Brendon’s voice brought her back to reality. Ranita shook her head at him and tried to calm herself down.

Thinking so much right now wasn’t going to do any good. It would be better if they went home and talked face-to-face instead. If they really weren’t getting divorced anymore, she wanted to tell Brendon about the pregnancy too. After all, he had every right to know as the father of the child.
