Chapter 185 Meeting Up

Ranita winced under his pressure.

"It's not a date; we're just going out for dinner," she said after thinking about it briefly. "I looked overmy schedule and don't think they'll need me much tomorrow night anyway."

"According to our contract terms, once my work is done, I can arrange my own schedule."

"You seem pretty eager!"novelbin

"It's not like that; mainly because we haven't seen each other in such a long time..." With loweredeyes, Ranita spoke softly sounding sad which made even her eyelashes tremble slightly.

Seeing how she pursed lips pitifully, Brendon felt uncomfortable inside himself.

"Do you really have to see him?" He opened his thin lips lightly.

"I already promised him; how could I not go?" Pushing away from Brendon, Ranita said, "Youshould loosen your grip on me now, I can hardly breathe."

Instead of listening, Brendon pinched her hard as if venting all of his anger onto poor girl.

Ranita grabbed his finger and giggled as she was pinched tightly, "Brendon, stop tickling me, it's soitchy! Hahaha... you better let go soon or I'll hit you!"

It was more like acting cute than threatening.

Brendon's heart softened as he lifted Ranita onto the bed and looked at her with dark, intense eyes."Hit me!" he said.

Ranita's heart was filled with warmth as she blushed with embarrassment.

"Do you really think I'm afraid?" Ranita raised her small fist and punched him, with a flirtatious lookin her eyes.

"Like a cat scratching!" Brendon's narrow eyes curved, and he chuckled softly with a magnetic andsexy laughter.

It sent Ranita's heart racing.

The atmosphere was right, and Brendon started kissing her again.

The deep kiss came to an end.

Ranita remained calm and kept her hand on his chest. She said, "Brendon, to be honest, I'm notreally comfortable with this."

It was a bit disappointing.

But with Ranita's reasoning, Brendon had no choice! He rested his head on her shoulder andnuzzled a few times like a puppy, expressing his reluctance.

Ranita's hands fell on his waist.

"Sorry."

After a while, Brendon sat up and said, "No need to apologize! It's getting late, let's go to bed!"

"Hmm!" Ranita lay beside him, feeling complex emotions.

No matter how much he hurt her heart, she always trusted him and felt safe as long as she was byhis side.

During the day, Brendon was busy with social engagements, and she was also busy with her ownaffairs.

Night fell.

Ranita received the restaurant address sent by Jedidiah and arrived on time.

"Brendon, I have sent the information you requested to your email! If you have social engagementstonight, try not to drink too much."

While waiting, Ranita sent Brendon a message.

"Ranita!"

Just as she hit send, a warm voice sounded above her head. Ranita looked up in surprise to seeJedidiah, and her eyes began to well up with tears.

"Brother!"

Jedidiah gave her a hug, "Little girl, long time no see."

Jedidiah went abroad for further studies six years ago and never came back after graduation.Instead, he had been traveling all around the world.

"Yeah... Long time no see." Ranita lowered her eyes and choked up before finally asking, "How areMom and Dad?"

Ranita asked nervously.

Jedidiah rubbed her head and sighed, "It's okay, but they keep saying you never come back. Theymiss you."

"They do?" Ranita didn't know how to answer. She missed her family too, it was just...

"Of course!" Jedidiah paused and continued, "Several years have passed, and Chloe has becomemuch more mature and stable."

For so many years, she dared not go back to Steland or her family, all in order to avoid ChloeBowman.
