A Successful Career After Divorce

“That’s good!” Ranita lowered her eyelashes and changed the subject, “Brother, I’m hungry. Let’s order quickly!”

Jedidiah immediately said, “Let’s not talk about that. Order your food quickly, don’t get too hungry.”

“This restaurant was recommended by my friend. The ingredients are very fresh and the taste is also good. You should eat more later.”

“Great!” Ranita flipped through the menu and ordered several of her favorite dishes besides fish.

“Why not order fish? I remember you love it and want cilantro on top,” Jedidiah paused before adding, “Let me add a steamed fish for you!”

“No need! I’m tired of it. I want to try a different flavor,” said Ranita. She had been experiencing morning sickness recently and could tolerate other foods, but the sight of fish made her feel nauseous.

When Jedidiah asked her later, she didn’t know how to answer.

“Sure!” Jedidiah smiled gently. “It’s good to try something new.”

Jedidiah still felt a bit sad that in just a few years, he didn’t know that she stopped liking fish.

The meal was not awkward, but the atmosphere was not good either.

“Ranita… you have changed so much over the years. You used to always chatter and pout, asking for this and that from me…”

“Brother, that was such a long time ago.” Ranita scolded Jedidiah with a pout, looking more like a little girl than usual.

After dinner, Ranita followed Jedidiah out.

“Ranita?”

At the door, Ranita was so scared by Brendon that she almost ran away! But it was too late, not only her, but Jedidiah also heard it.

“Who is that? He seems to be calling you!”

As he walked to the doorway, Jedidiah sized up Brendon and felt that he looked familiar, but couldn’t recall where they had met before.

“Ranita, who is this?”

Ranita thought for a moment and introduced, “This is Brendon from Stuart’s Corp, he’s kind of my boss!”

As for the rest, since it was all going to end anyway, there was no need to bring it up.

“It turns out to be Mr. Stuart! I’ve heard so much about you!” Jedidiah politely extended his hand, but noticed that Brendon had been scrutinizing him the whole time!

It took a while before he extended his hand to shake his.

“I’ve long been looking forward to meeting you! May I ask how should I address you?”

Jedidiah was about to leave when Ranita stopped him and said, “Brother, Mr. Stuart may have something to discuss with me. You don’t need to accompany me, I’ll go back on my own later.”

Jedidiah looked at Ranita, then looked at Brendon.

He had a gut feeling that Brendon’s gaze was off, but couldn’t figure out why. So, he nodded at Brendon and said, “Mr. Stuart, over the years, Ranita has been grateful for your care in Kurima.”

After finishing his sentence, Jedidiah looked at Ranita with a gentle smile and rubbed her head. “I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave now. Give me a call or send me a message when you get back.”

“I’ll walk you out,” Ranita followed Jedidiah to the roadside and watched him leave before returning.

Ranita caught a ride with Brendon back to the hotel, but no one spoke on the way.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Suddenly, the car hit a speed bump and Ranita choked on her water.

“Cough cough!”

In her panic, someone handed her some tissues.

As she recovered, Brendon’s low voice sounded in her ear. “Ranita, is he really that person you mentioned before? The one you like so much that you won’t even tell me his name?”

The light was dim but his features were still handsome.

Ranita didn’t expect him to misunderstand like this. But there were some things she couldn’t say out loud. She could only say, “He’s my brother; our relationship isn’t as complicated as you think.”

“Then why can’t we just be straightforward about it?” Brendon’s eyes turned cold and angry as he looked at her. “Am I not good enough for public knowledge?”
