The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Don't Pretend

"Going out for dinner and a date, and even driving her here, you guys have such a great relationship!" Shannon exclaimed.

Steve chuckled lightly in response, "My relationship with Ranita hasn't developed to that point yet."

Shannon immediately seized on the key words and tried to stir up some trouble, but Brendon interrupted her coldly, "Time's up, let's go upstairs."

Shannon had always been obedient in front of Brendon. "Ranita and I will go up first! Brendon, make sure you stay safe," she said.

"Hmm! Go ahead and don't be late!" Brendon responded patiently.

Ranita couldn't help but glance at him.

The man's cold and icy expression softened slightly, and his features followed suit, as if a gentle breeze had swept away the ice and snow, bringing a touch of warmth as the spring drew near.

She needed time to get over Brendon no matter how strong she was. Fortunately, it would only take three more months.

"Ranita, let's go!" Shannon smiled and pretended to want to hold Ranita's hand but was subtly avoided by her.

Ranita nodded at Steve, "Dr. Pearson, I'll leave now! Thank you for bringing me here."

Her foot still hurt but she endured it so it wasn't too noticeable.

"Is your foot still hurting?" After walking out a few steps away from the others' hearing range, Shannon lowered her voice teasingly, "Ranita, you and Steve look like a great match. Do you two have something going on? If you do, then Brendon and I would feel much more at ease. Steve will surely take good care of you!"

"Miss Murphy, we're not close," Ranita replied coldly.
