A Successful Career After Divorce

“Ranita, are you and Makhi…”

Brendon couldn’t bring himself to finish the question. He had never been afraid of anything in his life, but the answer to this question felt like an invisible dagger to him.

He feared he couldn’t bear it.

Brendon’s face was dark and stormy, as if he had swallowed dynamite. Ayaan widened his eyes slightly, covering Brendon’s mouth and blinking as he said, “Dad, the TV says you can’t question Mom like this, or there will be big trouble!”

“Mom might not give us dinner tonight!”

Ranita had been quite angry, but Ayaan’s words made her laugh.

Brendon was usually so domineering and unreasonable, why was he so insecure about himself? Compared to Makhi, wasn’t Brendon just as good?

“Ayaan, come here!” Ranita pulled Ayaan over. “If you stay here tonight, there really won’t be any dinner!”

“Mom, I’m sorry.” Ayaan immediately admitted his mistake. “It was Dad who told me to do it.”

Brendon was a bit stunned.

It was clearly a joint effort, how did he become the mastermind?

“Ayaan, can you touch your conscience?! Was it Dad who told you to do it?”

“Brendon, don’t be harsh on Ayaan!” Ranita gritted her teeth and punched him lightly on the leg.

Brendon didn’t dare say it hurt.

“I wasn’t harsh on him!”

Ranita rolled her eyes at him again and took Ayaan to play in the corner. When Dylan came to pick him up, she instructed Dylan, “Make sure he only eats plain rice tonight!”

Ayaan’s eyes immediately filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful. “Mom!”

But no matter how much Ayaan protested, it was useless. He was taken away directly. Fortunately, Dylan secretly gave him two chicken legs in the end.

In the hospital room, Ranita didn’t speak to Brendon.

The atmosphere became heavy.

It stayed that way until evening when it gradually got dark and Brendon’s dinner arrived. Ranita handed over the dinner coldly.

“Ranita…” Brendon felt very depressed. He had only mentioned Makhi, was this woman really that angry?

Brendon felt both jealous and envious.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

In her heart, his position was never important enough.

“Eat your dinner before it gets cold,” Ranita said calmly. “We’ll talk after you eat.”

Brendon grabbed her wrist. “Let’s talk now.”

“I’m very concerned about your relationship with Makhi. Do you like me or him?” Brendon gritted his teeth, his face showing a bit of tolerance.

“Do I have to choose just one?” Ranita was provoked. “I’m single now; I can like whoever I want.”

Ranita didn’t quite understand. She didn’t have much contact with Makhi; why was Brendon so concerned?

“Ranita!” Brendon was furious. “You can only choose me!”

Ranita laughed in anger. “Then why give me a choice? You’re crazy!” She gritted her teeth and opened the lunchbox. “Eat your dinner!”

As she spoke, Ranita was suddenly pulled over.

She looked shocked as her ears turned red from the kiss.

“Let go…” Ranita tried to struggle but was pinned down by him. He lifted her chin with his fingers and continued kissing her.

Brendon’s injuries had healed significantly, and his strength had returned almost completely. Ranita had almost no power to resist.

His long legs pressed against her wound, causing pain from the friction.
