Chapter 210 Little Scatterbrain
"Ranita..." Brendon felt uneasy. He wanted to explain, but this time he had to take Shannon back toKurima and Amiya wanted to talk to him.
Amiya said the Murphy family was asking questions, wondering if Brendon and Shannon wereengaged and if they should start preparing for it.
Brendon didn't agree, and Amiya got angry.
Brendon usually tolerated Amiya's behavior, but this time they had a fight.
Amiya had a car accident years ago that left her legs disabled. She couldn't handle such a bigemotional blow at once and became obsessed with it. After long-term treatment, she had improvedin recent years.
This time when Brendon contradicted her, Amiya immediately went into the hospital.
Brendon still didn't give in.
He hadn't slept much last night and had been busy all day. Brendon was tired now.
"Forget it... it's nothing..." Brendon wanted to tell Ranita that she was important to him. But whatgood would it do? Ranita kept secrets in her heart while he struggled with Shannon. Speaking outwould only make things more complicated between them all.
"I'll pack up my things and come over." Even though the answer was clear in her heart already, shestill felt like she brought shame upon herself again which made Ranita feel brokenhearted oncemore.
Brendon stayed two days in Qaesburg for meetings. Meanwhile, Ranita pulled herself together aswell as worked hard for two days too.novelbin
Fortunately though at last minute they managed to finalize the project.
On the plane ride home, Ranita fell asleep as soon as she sat down. Brenden woke her up, "Ranita,eat something!"
"I want sleep not food."
Steve told her that after getting pregnant, she'd become sleepy with poor appetite so be preparedmentally. Ranita could relate somewhat on having poor appetite, but before being sleepy neverhappened. She thought maybe it wouldn't happen but these past two days proved otherwise.
Especially during their busiest times, it was no wonder she was exhausted.
"Ranita!" Brenden grabbed her hand, his eyes scanning every inch of her pale face. He looked athow delicate she looked - pale and thin-chinned. Her wrists were even skinny!
"You have some food, you can eat later when we land."
His voice sounded low, making him sound extra gentle. Ranita squinted thinking she might bedreaming again.
"I don't want anything…I just want sleep." She muttered then put his palm against her cheek,rubbing gently while saying "Don't bother me".
Ranita's face was smooth in Brendon's palm.
Brendon glanced at her for a moment before adjusting her position to make her more comfortable,allowing her to sleep next to him.
Ranita slept all the way until the plane landed. The loud engine woke her up, and she opened hereyes to see the man's cold chin.
Her spine tensed up.
Brendon noticed how nervous she looked like a startled deer and teased, "My arm is sore frombeing your pillow for hours."
In a daze, Ranita had grabbed something in her hand that turned out to be Brendon's arm. Shepursed her lips and blushed slightly behind her ears. "I'm sorry. I must have been half asleep."
"You're definitely quite scatterbrained," Brendon said as he handed over a box of sweet milk that anair hostess had given him earlier on the flight.
Brendon was handsome enough that every time he flew on an airplane, he received specialattention from air hostesses who provided excellent service.
Thinking about it made Ranita feel angry - this guy was just trying to attract attention!
"The stewardess gave it to you but you gave it to me instead? What if she gets upset?" Ranitaraised an eyebrow with sleepy eyes that looked like ink paintings suddenly coming alive with vividcolors.
