Three days later, at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Ranita and Brendon submitted their divorce application, followed by a one-month cooling-off period. If either party changes their mind, the divorce will be invalid.
Outside, Shannon rushed to Brendon's side like a little bird with a bouquet of red roses in her arms. She wore a white dress that made her look like she was getting married.
"Ranita, thank you so much!" Shannon handed the red roses to Ranita. "I didn't know what kind of flowers you liked, so I bought them according to my own preferences."
"Brendon, I bought flowers for Ranita. Will you buy me some too?" Shannon coquettishly leaned towards Brendon.
Ranita handed the red roses back to Shannon. "No need, I don't like red roses."
"Ranita, you're so cold!" Shannon pouted.
Ranita was speechless. Did she have to be grateful and enthusiastic towards someone who had interfered in her marriage?
Shannon complained to Brendon with an aggrieved expression, "Brendon, did I do something wrong? Ranita seems not to like me!"
"No way! Ranita is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush when she speaks. Don't take it personally," said Brendon.
"Really? I thought Ranita was still angry about what happened before! I feel really guilty..." As she spoke, Shannon looked as if she might burst into tears any moment now and clung onto Brendon while gazing at him with pure desire written all over her face.
Ranita felt suffocated in her chest.
"I have something else going on; I'm leaving now." Ranita hailed a taxi and left.
