A Successful Career After Divorce

“Ranita, if I go bankrupt in the future, you have to take care of me,” Brendon said softly, lowering his head.

This was not something Brendon would usually say.

Ranita’s eyes reddened instantly. “Brendon, don’t lie to me. Is Stuart’s Corp really okay?”

“You never used to say things like this! Are you really in trouble?”

Brendon pinched her chin and reassured her, “There’s really no problem! Stuart’s Corp isn’t just feeding people for nothing, don’t worry!”

Then, Brendon acted coyly, “I just wanted to see what it feels like to live off a woman.”

Ranita couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Thinking about her little savings, Ranita smiled and said, “Brendon, why don’t you marry into our Bowman family?”

Brendon suddenly perked up. “Does that mean you agree to remarry me?”

“When did I say I agreed?” Ranita felt hot as he hugged her tightly, her cheeks and ears turning red.

“Don’t hug so tight, you might hurt your wound.” She paused and touched the bandage on his waist. “Aren’t you aware of your own condition?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Brendon looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “I agree to marry into the Bowman family!”

“How about that?”

“My parents haven’t even met you yet, so don’t get your hopes up,” Ranita grinned. “If my parents agree, then I might consider it.”

In this world, things that come too easily are never cherished. Ranita had come to understand this much better now.

She still loved Brendon, but her thoughts had matured compared to before.

“Alright, then I’ll work hard,” Brendon said, his gaze growing deep and intense as he looked at her.

The air suddenly became heated.

Ranita felt her eyelids burning as his lips approached. His warm body, brimming with hormones, enveloped her in a passionate embrace. His fervent lips and tongue entwined with hers, wrapping her in a heart-stirring hold.

Brendon loved nibbling on her ear, always making her feel ticklish.

“Brendon… stop kissing…” Her voice trailed off, the breath cut short halfway through.

Ranita felt dizzy from his kisses, as if her body was being consumed by fire. Half-heartedly resisting, she responded to his kiss, soft whispers escaping from between their lips.

Ranita’s mind was going crazy.

“This is a hospital room, stop it,” Ranita repeatedly tried to stop him, but Brendon seemed to be teasing a kitten. The more shy and scared she looked, the bolder he became.

He was extremely mischievous.

Ranita gritted her teeth in frustration but couldn’t bring herself to get angry.

“Don’t talk…”

“Brendon… the nurse will come in soon…” Even if it wasn’t the nurse, it was almost breakfast time and the caregiver would be here soon.

“No one will barge in!” Afraid he would continue his antics and really tear open his wound, Ranita pushed him away while trying to stop him from kissing her. “Brendon, your wound will split open! Listen to me!”

Brendon seemed not to hear her, continuing to kiss her and even going so far as to slip his hand under her shirt to rub her waist.

The ticklish feeling from his touch made Ranita weak and unable to push him away. She could only let him continue kissing her.

After the kiss, Brendon looked at her while slightly panting. “Why are you being so obedient?”

Ranita bit her cheek in exasperation.

“Didn’t I tell you to stop?” Ranita said, watching Brendon smile smugly. She raised an eyebrow and said, “Ahem! Mainly because… what’s the harm in a kiss… after all, what else can you do besides kiss?!”
