There was an air of arrogance mixed with bitterness in his tone.
Ranita looked at Brendon in surprise and carefully considered what to say next: Did he mind?
"You're my wife; shouldn't I be bothered if another man takes you out for dinner?" Brendon threw the question back at Ranita without any expression on his face.
Ranita thought about it carefully but couldn't figure anything out from what he said or how he acted towards it all.
Brendon continued speaking calmly without showing any emotion whatsoever, "Is he really your brother? Why have I never heard of him before?"
After Ranita came to Kurima for school, she transferred her household registration here. When she married Brendon, she told him that she was the only one left in her family.
Ranita looked at Brendon, her mood indescribably gloomy. They say one lie needs countless other lies to cover it up, and this statement was indeed true.
"The older brother I grew up with, he's like a brother to me, I guess?" She admitted that she and Jedidiah didn't have any blood relation.
"As for what exists between us, it's better left unsaid than said," Ranita concluded in silence.
The atmosphere inside the car became even colder once again..
Just then Ranita's phone rang- Olivia calling!
"Ranita!" Olivia sounded very worried over the phone line. "Where are you?! Something big has happened!"
