The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Gnashing Teeth

Although the phone call was intermittent, Brendon still caught a few key words.

What "when we were young", what "running over with a red nose"... just thinking about it made Brendon imagine an image in his mind.

The little girl who was all smiles running towards someone with red eyes and nose... this stirred something inside of Brendon making him feel angry.

And she even called him a little bug?

His voice carried some questioning tone as he asked, "Little bug? You called me that?"

He pinched her waist causing an itch to spread outwards making Ranita laugh uncontrollably.

"I didn't mean it on purpose... it's because you scared me!"

Brendon pinched her again hard like he was taking revenge for what she had done earlier.

"Who sent these flowers? Is it your good brother again?" His tone remained flat but Ranita could hear some anger in his voice.

Over the years in the Stuart family, Ranita had never received flowers from Brendon. She felt a sense of disappointment and sadness.

What could she do? Even if she envied and felt a bitter heart, she could only keep those feelings to herself.

"Mhmm." Ranita lowered down eyelashes while pushing away his hands, "I'll go put the flowers away."

"Do you really like them?" This random question caused Ranita to smile slightly as she replied, "Which woman doesn't like beautiful flowers?" They represented thoughtfulness after all so even if they weren't actual flowers just receiving any gift that showed someone cared enough meant everything to her too!

Ranita placed the flowers prominently in the center of the table, so conspicuous that Brendon found it eye-catching to the point of discomfort. It felt like a pang in his eyes and chest, making him almost wish to toss them directly into the trash.

If Ranita liked getting flowers, then why couldn't he be one sending them?!

Brendon took out his phone and thought about asking Caleb how to order flowers several times, but he realized someone else had beaten him to it. What was the point of sending flowers himself now?
