The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 A Little Bit of Good

Brendon was right beside her, and she felt incredibly at ease, her eyes starting to well up with tears.

"Why are you crying?" Brendon's gentle voice came from above. "Are you still scared?"

Ranita shook her head lightly and rested it on his chest.

His heartbeat was close and strong.

"I was scared before, but not anymore!" Ranita pursed her lips. After a pause, she asked, "Had you been looking for me all this time?"

"Silly girl, who else would be looking for you if not me?" Brendon looked down at her and noticed that the flesh on her cheeks had disappeared. It hurt him like someone had ripped out his heart.

"From now on, even if we have an argument or something happens between us, promise me that you'll always answer my calls. Do you know how worried I've been about you?" His voice was especially tender as though a warm stream flowed into the depths of Ranita's heart and healed all of the wounds inside instantly.

This little bit of kindness made Ranita feel completely devoted to him.

"Mmm..." Ranita nodded. "I won't make you worry again." After everything that happened recently, Ranita had thought a lot about how their baby needed a complete family. Maybe she should try harder to make things work between them.

"Brendon... there's something I want to ask..." As soon as the words left her mouth, Ranita started feeling uneasy in her heart. Would he consider staying married? Or would he insist on having the baby aborted? The thought of those possibilities made Ranita hesitate once again...

"What is it?" Brendon saw that she wasn't speaking up so he pinched gently at her chin with his hand. "What's troubling you so much? You seem hesitant."

Ranita closed her eyes and took a deep breath before continuing, "If... if I were ..."

"Ring ring!" Brendon's phone rang suddenly interrupting what she wanted to say next.

He glanced at it quickly before hanging up.
