The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Got a Little Belly

"Are you ready?" The wait was too long, and Ranita couldn't help but feel anxious.

"It's almost time!" Brendon's throat rolled.

Finally, Brendon wrapped his arm around her waist, placing his palm on her small belly and frowned. "Ranita... it seems like you've gained weight in your stomach."

Ranita froze.

Her spine stiffened as she pursed her lips and pretended to be calm. "No way. You must have mistaken it."

"How could I? Your face looks slimmer, your waist is thinner... only your stomach has grown..." Brendon pinched her flesh with his fingers and chuckled teasingly. "Do you have a baby in there?"

A chill ran down Ranita's spine.

She turned to look at Brendon with courage and asked, "If I really am pregnant, what are you going to do? Are we going to keep the baby?"

"Our child... don't you want to keep it?" Brendon asked back as he lowered his eyes filled with emotion.

Would this woman who loved someone else help him raise a child? If they had a child together, Ranita would never be able to leave him for the rest of their lives...

"Haha! I'm just kidding! Why are you taking this so seriously!" Ranita lowered her eyelashes and spoke softly. "You've always been careful; where would the baby come from?"

Brendon's eyes grew darker as he tightened his grip on her arm. "It's not that; when you moved out that one time, there was one time when we forgot... what if something happened then?"

Pausing for a moment, Brendon suddenly remembered when they were in Qaesburg during that time, when Ranita had gotten her period…

"No! Don't think about it!" If it wasn't for Shannon's situation right now, she probably would've told him everything but now she didn't plan on saying anything anymore.

Ranita pushed away from Brendon's grasp and stood in front of the mirror.

The water-blue dress made her skin appear even fairer than before - fragile yet smooth - every step she took caused the light veil behind her sway gently while swaying like willow leaves.
