The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Bite a Mouthful

"Let go of me!" Ranita exclaimed, her eyes burning with anger and anxiety as she pushed against Brendon's chest. Brendon, usually composed, felt a chill run down his spine under her intense gaze and quickly released his grip.

"Ah!" With the sudden release, Ranita lost her balance and fell backward.

Reacting swiftly, Brendon reached out to catch her, but in his haste, they both tumbled onto the sofa together. The weight of his body pressed down on Ranita's head, leaving her feeling disoriented and unable to think clearly.

Brendon's proximity was unsettling; his breath almost touching her face, his lips mere inches away from hers. Their breaths intertwined, creating a fluttering sensation within Ranita that she couldn't explain.

She dared not move, her heart racing like a rollercoaster - up one moment and down the next.

Brendon remained motionless, his gaze fixed on her without blinking, as if he were made of ice - cold yet beautiful, like snowflakes falling to the ground.

Suddenly, Ranita widened her eyes, unable to contain her frustration any longer. "Brendon, get up! Are you even human?!"

Ranita was so furious that she felt like biting Brendon.

Brendon's face darkened, and he wasn't feeling great either.

His pride in self-control crumbled to dust, and he deeply regretted it. He felt as though he had lost all dignity in front of Ranita.
