Chapter 937: Toothache
Despite Brendon saying there was no need to thank him, Ranita still expressed her gratitude sincerely, “Thank you!”
“No matter what, thank you for your help.”
Brendon held her wrist, his long eyes curving comfortably like a satisfied big cat, “If you really want to thank me, you can kiss me a few more times.”
Brendon was in a good mood.
“No way!” Ranita paused, sneaking a glance at him and whispered, “This is a public place, people are watching us!”
Attractive couples always drew more attention.
Moreover, Ranita had thrown herself into Brendon’s arms, and the surrounding atmosphere was filled with pink bubbles of romance. Just one look made one’s teeth ache.
Brendon chuckled softly.
He hugged her lightly, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, “Then kiss me where no one is around.”
Ranita blushed deeply, embarrassedly glaring at him, “What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Let go of me!”
Seeing people looking their way, Brendon pulled her into a corner, “How are your parents?”
“Mm! My dad is fine now!” Ranita sighed, “My mom… she’s okay too.”
Alexia had only fainted from shock temporarily, her body was fine and she would probably recover after some rest.
Now it was Benedict who was the concern.
Having just undergone surgery not long ago, he was now back in the hospital due to anger… Ranita felt particularly guilty.
She shouldn’t have argued with Chole.
She had endured for so many years, why couldn’t she hold back a little longer? If they hadn’t fought, Benedict wouldn’t have heard and wouldn’t have…
Thinking about how it was all because of her, Ranita felt extremely depressed.
Maybe… she really shouldn’t have returned to Bowman’s Mansion.
Ranita pursed her lips and gave Brendon a deep look, wanting to speak but ultimately saying nothing.
Forget it, she would talk about it later.
“Can you go back and rest now?” Brendon reached out to rub her cheek, “You just recovered from an illness and now you’re taking care of people in the hospital. Your face is so pale!”
“And a bit blue.”
Brendon felt heartbroken.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“I’m fine! But my brother, he has to manage the company and take care of things at the hospital. He’s as busy as a spinning top.”
When Brendon saw her mention Jedidiah with such tenderness in her eyes, he suddenly felt a bit jealous.
“Heh, you bad woman, why do you care about your brother but not me? I’ve been on a business trip for so long and you don’t even care about me! I can’t eat or sleep well. Look at me, haven’t I lost weight?”
Brendon had been quite talkative lately.
Ranita found it a bit hard to adapt. She stared blankly at Brendon for a while before reacting and giggling, “He’s my brother, why can’t I care about him?”
“You’re not anything to me!” Ranita raised an eyebrow and hummed mischievously.
Brendon pinched her waist playfully, pretending to be angry, “I’ll give you some time to reorganize your words.”
Ranita couldn’t help but giggle as he tickled her sensitive spot, wriggling like an octopus. “Ah, it tickles! Stop pinching me.”
“Hmm?” Brendon raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of laughter as he looked at her.
Ranita pouted pitifully, “Okay, I was wrong!”
“But you haven’t lost any weight at all. I really don’t know where to start feeling sorry for you.” She paused, remembering something from before and bit her lip, “Besides, I’m still mad at you! I don’t want to care about you.”
Ranita bared her teeth, the corners of her eyes tinged red as she said, “I hate you!”
