The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Jealousy

In Ranita's impression, Brendon wasn't someone who would pester others incessantly.

This was too much!

He could make so many phone calls; he probably cared about her quite deeply? But what she wanted wasn't just care…

Ranita lost all of her temper from being kissed by him.

"Brendon... let go... if there's something to say then just say it without touching me." Although Ranita still had an expressionless face when she spoke these words, her voice had softened.

Brendon grabbed onto her arm while staring at her intensely with his dark eyes. "If I don't kiss you, will you listen quietly while I talk?"

Ranita gritted her teeth in anger.

"Let go!"

They'd lived together for several years now; they'd spent every day together. She understood too well how his gaze changed over time...

"Today, Miss Murphy is being discharged from the hospital, and you're not there to accompany her. Why did you come over to see me?" Ranita's tone made her feel embarrassed as she sounded jealous, like a canary vying for affection.

She pushed him aside and started packing her things. Brendon leaned against the table, watching her, and even lightly licked his lips as if savoring the recent kiss. After a while, he explained slowly, "Shannon has many people with her, and she doesn't need me."

"Why did Steve go looking for you at the resort then?"

Ranita stopped packing up when she heard this question before looking up at him saying, "I'm not feeling well so Dr. Pearson came over to check on me."

"Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt? Why did you go to Steve instead of telling me?" Brendon asked, sounding a bit angry. Before, she had preferred to bother Dylan rather than have him take her to the hospital.

Did she not want to talk about it? Thinking back on that phone call now made her sick, so maybe it was better not to bring it up.
