The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 A Heart of Stone

"Get some rest! I need to go back," Brendon said as he picked up his phone. He had rushed back from Moon Mountain to be with Shannon, and now he felt a bit tired.

"Brendon, please... But I'm scared. Can't you stay with me?" Shannon bit her lip, her previously pale lips now showing signs of indentation. Her eyes looked misty and pitiable, a sight that was difficult to resist.

Brendon glanced at his wristwatch.

It was already past 1 AM. Ranita should be asleep by now, right? Brendon thought about Ranita and found himself distracted.

"Brendon, please... I'm begging you. Can't you stay?" Shannon's voice quivered with desperation as she saw Brendon lost in thought. Her red-rimmed eyes became even more watery, and her pleading expression was irresistible.

Brendon pursed his lips and reached out to caress Shannon's head. "I'll make a call."

He walked out to the balcony and checked his messages. There was no message or call from Ranita.

"This woman has a heart of stone," Brendon thought.

"Are you asleep?" Brendon composed a message but deleted it. Ranita usually slept around 11 PM, so she probably wouldn't see the message at this time.

Brendon called Caleb. "Caleb, where are you?" He had called Caleb when he was on his way back to Kurima and asked him to go to Moon Mountain Resort. By now, Caleb should have arrived.

"I just got to Moon Mountain Resort. It's late, so I didn't want to disturb Miss Bowman. I'll contact her in the morning. How is it going on Miss Murphy's end?" Caleb inquired.
