The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Maintain Distance

"Steve! If you still consider me a friend, keep your distance from Ranita," Brendon slammed his drink onto the table, causing the ice to clink and brown liquid to spill out. The man's face was cold and dark.

"Brendon... you shouldn't be so agitated," Steve calmly wiped the table with a tissue and handed Brendon his glass. "You had to marry Ranita at that time."

Had to? Brendon suddenly felt repulsed by that phrase.

"What about our future relationship? And your family won't accept her." Brendon frowned. "I lived with her for three years. Even though we're divorced now, I still hope she has a better life in the future."

Brendon convinced himself that he had some feelings for Ranita after living together for three years. It was understandable that he cared about her future.

"And besides, she's still my legal wife."

"Not in a month!" Steve stared at Brendon for a few seconds before taking a big gulp of his drink. "Who knows what fate has in store?"

"Brendon, Ranita is a good woman. You were married to her for three years; didn't you have any feelings?"

Steve didn't like Shannon but it was none of his business when it came to Brendon's private affairs.

Brendon sat straight-backed with legs casually crossed as he listened intently while lightly rubbing his fingers together before finally responding, "I wouldn't say there were any real feelings between us but you're right. Ranita is indeed an exceptional person!"

Suddenly Steve remembered what those nursing students used to call guys who treated women poorly - scumbags - which seemed fitting for someone like Brendon.

"Since there's no love, you divorced her, so don't interfere with her private affairs," Steve said sternly after a pause. "Brendon, we've known each other for so many years and you should know my personality. This is the first time I've taken a liking to a girl. So I hope you won't intervene."
