A Successful Career After Divorce

Brendon wasn’t that romantic, and he wouldn’t send her flowers. As Ranita thought about this, her mood started to become gloomy.

“Huh?” Ranita found a small card with a handwritten message, “Wishing Ranita health and happiness!” Signed by her brother, Jedidiah.

Jedidiah sent them?

Ranita’s bright eyes sparkled with a smile as she ran to grab her phone and sent a message to Jedidiah, “Brother, why did you suddenly send me flowers?”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yesterday during dinner, Ranita mentioned the hotel she stayed at. Unexpectedly, this morning she received a thoughtful gift from him.

The words on the card were also handwritten by Jedidiah, so this flower should have been handpicked by him as well.

A phone call was coming in.

“Ranita, did you receive the flowers? I remember you used to like champagne roses, have your preferences changed now?”

Jedidiah’s voice was accompanied by a hearty laugh, and Ranita’s mood lifted as her eyebrows and eyes lifted. She smiled and said, “The flowers are very beautiful, I really like them! Thank you, brother!”

“Don’t thank me! You’re my sister!” Jedidiah paused and sounded a bit regretful, “I have to hurry back to Steland soon, otherwise I could have spent more time with you.”

Jedidiah didn’t want to waste the opportunity to see Ranita, as it’d been difficult for him to do so.

But he can’t get away from work.

“Ranita, listen to me. Can you come back to Steland?” Jedidiah’s tone lowered towards the end and his emotions seemed unstable, making Ranita feel heartbroken as she listened.

Ranita pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, “I do have plans to return to Steland.” Pausing briefly, she continued, “I’ve been busy with work these past few years and I feel a bit tired. After visiting Steland, I plan on taking some time to further my education.”

“Ah? Further studies, are you going abroad?” Jedidiah finally returned from overseas and now it was Ranita’s turn to leave. He asked eagerly, “Why? How did you suddenly decide to go abroad?”

“You don’t have to be so anxious… I’m just considering it, nothing is confirmed yet.” Ranita didn’t say anything last night because she was afraid Jedidiah would get excited and ask too many questions. At least now on the phone, it was not as awkward. “I…”

Before she could finish speaking, a warm body pressed against her from behind.

Wet and moist in her ear, it was him kissing her ear.

The next second, Brendon mischievously grinded his teeth and took a bite.

Ranita was in pain, her head was hot and she could barely hold onto her phone. She couldn’t help but let out a “yelp”! Ranita covered her mouth and angrily glared at Brendon with the corner of her eye.

Brendon’s eyes were dark and cold, he made a childish grunt and then kissed her neck.

“Ranita, what’s wrong? Did something happen to you?” Jedidiah grew anxious when he didn’t hear any response from Ranita.

With one hand holding her phone and the other gently restraining the eager Brendon, Ranita steadied her voice, “It’s nothing. Just a little bug, startled me for a moment.”

“Little bug? Haha!” Jedidiah’s gentle laughter came through. He said, “I remember you were always afraid of bugs when you were little. Every time you saw one, you would run over with a red nose…”

Embarrassed at being caught, Ranita interrupted with a cough and said, “I didn’t do that! Brother, I have something to do here. I won’t talk to you anymore.”

“Hang up first!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Brendon took her phone away and hung up before throwing it on the sofa.

Brendon forcefully pulled her into his arms and his arm tightly wrapped around her waist almost breaking it!

“Brendon…”

Brendon held onto her wrist tightly while coldly looking at the rose in her hand which made him shiver.
