The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Suffering

This was probably the agony of unrequited love. A heart full of feelings, yet never daring to express them.

Luckily, it was nighttime and the darkness helped hide Ranita's slightly blushing cheeks as she avoided looking at him. "Who's checking you out? Don't be so conceited," she said.

Brendon turned her face towards him, his handsome face getting closer and his long lashes even brushing against her cheek as he breathed in her ear. "That's not necessarily true, after all my face is pretty."

"We've been doing this for years!" Ranita put a hand up to stop him from getting too close. "You're such a child!"

Ranita smirked.

"So you're tired of me?" Brendon felt a little emotional inside. He reached out to rub her head and said, "Smile more often. You look beautiful when you do."

Ranita was taken aback for a moment.

"Let's go! Let's go home!" Brendon helped her back home while Ranita was feeling quite sleepy at first but now she didn't want to sleep anymore.

She read while Brendon went off to wash up.

"You're still awake?"

"I've slept enough these past few days. I want to read." As soon as Ranita finished speaking, the book in her hand was taken away by Brendon who then hugged her waist tightly and pulled her into his embrace saying, "The doctor says you need proper rest."

Ranita pushed against Brendon but didn't have enough strength.

She panted with red cheeks saying, "You're holding me too tight. How am I supposed to sleep? Loosen your grip a bit."

Brendon grabbed her hand and pressed it against her forehead. His gaze seemed to carry a wave of heat, making Ranita even redder. She felt a slight sweat on her back. "I... I'm going to sleep. Don't look at me like that," she stammered.

Ranita obediently complied.

She snuggled next to Brendon feeling both sour and sweet inside.

Brendon did not mention anything about divorce; he just took care of how she felt right now which fulfilled his marital duty.
