The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Sadness

Ranita was exhausted and slept soundly through the night. When she woke up, Brendon had already left for work. She got up, washed up, and had breakfast. Just as she took a few bites, the doorbell rang.

Looking through the peephole, Ranita saw Carl standing outside.

"What are you doing here?" Ranita opened the door with no expression on her face. Carl could sense that Ranita didn't welcome him and awkwardly handed her some fruit. "Ranita, I just wanted to come see you."

"I'm fine, thank you. You don't have to bring anything." Ranita refused his peace offering.

"Ranita..." Carl paused before letting out a long sigh. "I came here to say goodbye to you. I'm leaving Kurima tomorrow and I probably won't be coming back."

Carl had been thinking about the past these days.

He wasn't from a wealthy family like Mia or even Ranita but he excelled in school and later made something of himself with Ranita's help until he did something unfaithful at the end.

Carl felt incredibly guilty about it all.

"Take care of yourself from now on!" Carl's voice choked up as his eyes turned red with tears. "Also... no matter what you think of me... I still want to apologize on behalf of Mia too."

"She shouldn't have done what she did that almost prevented your return home safely," he continued. "She has completely left Kurima now and cut off contact with me so she won't bother you again in the future."

As she listened to him speak, Ranita felt uneasy about it all. She'd been under Brendon's protection since being found, and he hadn't told her anything about Mia. So, she didn't know...

"What are you saying? Mia caused me not being able to return home... what does that mean?" Pausing for a moment, Ranita raised her voice, "Is she involved?"
