A Successful Career After Divorce

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Her palm was very hot, as if it was going to burn her skin. Ranita gasped, her voice hoarse, “Brendon, get up!”

After being kissed, her lips turned red.

Brendon stared at her for a while and then got up. He straightened his clothes and leaned against the car door with his arms crossed. His eyes were like a big gray wolf looking at a little rabbit, which made Ranita’s hair stand on end.

“Brendon, don’t look at me like that! It was an accident just now!” Ranita felt embarrassed by his gaze. Her muscles stiffened all over her body; she didn’t know what to do with her hands or feet.

“Who is that woman? Is she looking for you?” Brendon paused before asking again, “You’re avoiding her because you have some grudge against each other?”

Ranita didn’t know which question to answer first.

Thinking that she was guilty of something, Brendon sneered slightly, “That woman even attacked you outside the hotel. Could she be Jedidiah’s lover?”

“He already has someone by his side; do you still like him?”

Ranita… couldn’t say anything for a moment.

It seemed that Brendon had misunderstood something important about the Bowman family…

If she explained it all now, it would involve too many things that Ranita didn’t want to talk about. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Brendon became angry inside, “I’m right then?”

“Brendon, no matter what, these are my private affairs; I hope you won’t interfere.” It was as if she wouldn’t interfere with him and Shannon either.

Ranita got out of the car when suddenly there came an incoming call on her phone from Jedidiah. She answered softly, “Brother.”

“Ranita, have you seen Chole? Did she come looking for you? Did anything happen to you because of this?” Jedidiah sounded worried in his urgent tone.

“Don’t worry about me, brother,” said Ranita smilingly, “I haven’t met Chole.”

Jedidiah sighed deeply, “I’m really sorry!”

“Don’t apologize,” replied Ranita sadly, “She hasn’t done anything bad to me yet… I’ll try my best not to let things become difficult for anyone.”

Brenden stood beside her feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“Okay! Don’t come here anymore! She probably went back to the hotel already so take care of yourself first!” After pausing briefly, he said again, “Kurima’s security is good but late at night, something might happen if a girl goes out alone.”

“I understand, I’ll rest well,” Ranita pursed her lips and smiled with her eyes. “Bye-bye.”

Brendon’s heart felt as sour as a truckload of lemons.

Did she really like Jedidiah that much? Just a few words and she was over the moon.

Jedidiah didn’t show up, so the alarm was lifted.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Brendon, I’m leaving first. You… pack your things and move out soon! It’s not convenient to live together when we’re separating,” Ranita got into the car and fastened her seatbelt. Brendon got into the passenger seat even faster than she did and buckled his own seatbelt.

“What are you doing?”

“We haven’t officially divorced yet, so I demand my wife fulfill her marital duties. So… either come back to my apartment with me or wherever you go, I go!” Brendon was in business after all; he could be cold but sometimes he could really get on people’s nerves.

Marital duties!

Why didn’t this jerk think about his marital responsibilities when he slept with other women?!

Angry!

“Brendon, get out!” Ranita fumed.

Brendon stood firm.

“Brendon!” Ranita was really getting fed up now. “Fine then, I’ll take a taxi!”

Ranita got out of the car but before she had taken more than a few steps away from it, her body suddenly soared through the air and landed directly in warm embrace.
