A Successful Career After Divorce

“Ah! Jedidiah…” Ranita was startled, almost jumping up. She looked at Jedidiah with fear, “You haven’t rested yet?”

Jedidiah was usually gentle and rarely showed Ranita a harsh face.

But now, his face was dark, and his gaze at Ranita was terrifying.

“Come with me to the study,” Jedidiah said, turning to leave.

Ranita followed him.

Before entering the room, she adjusted her clothes, afraid that Jedidiah might notice something amiss. Her heart pounded as if she had been caught in a teenage romance by her parents.

“Sit down.” Jedidiah put away the documents on the table and sighed before asking, “Where did you go today?”

Ranita bit her lip, “I went to the hospital in the morning, and in the afternoon… I went on a blind date…”

“And after the blind date?” Jedidiah asked.

“I just hung out with a friend and had dinner!” Ranita’s heart was in her throat.

But Jedidiah was determined to get to the bottom of it today and continued to ask, “Which friend? Do I know them?”

“Don’t say it’s Augustus. I was with him today.”

Ranita looked up at Jedidiah for a long time before biting her lip and saying, “Big brother, did you… see something?”

Jedidiah snorted coldly, “Ha, what do you think?! It’s late at night, and you didn’t come home even though you were at the door. You were hugging and kissing at the entrance. Do you think we’re blind?”

Ranita: …

“I’m sorry! Big brother!” No matter how strong Ranita was outside, she was just a little sister being managed in front of Jedidiah. She said awkwardly, “I shouldn’t have lied to you, but you don’t like Brendon, so I didn’t dare to tell you.”

“Ha! You know I don’t like him, yet you still date him? Ranita, are you trying to drive me crazy?” Jedidiah said angrily, pounding the table for emphasis.

“When did you get back together?”

“It was when we were in Kurima. He got injured protecting me…” Ranita wasn’t even sure if she was back together with Brendon, but their relationship had improved a lot and seemed like they were dating.

“Just because he took a knife for you, you forgave all his past wrongdoings? Ranita, let me tell you, I’m not a stubborn brother, but I don’t agree with your relationship with Brendon!”

“It’s not just me; Mom and Dad don’t agree either! Our whole family doesn’t agree with you being with him!”

After yelling, Jedidiah reached out his hand, “Give me your phone!”

“Big brother, what are you going to do?”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m calling Brendon!” Jedidiah extended his hand, “Give it to me!”

Ranita didn’t expect Jedidiah’s attitude to be so firm. She explained, “Big brother, can you listen to me? I’m not really with Brendon… We’re just…”

“Just what? You divorced back then. Such a scumbag should stay far away. Even being associated with him for one more second brings bad luck to our Bowman family!” Jedidiah grabbed her phone, “You’re smart; why can’t you see this?”

“Brother…” Ranita’s eyes reddened, “Is this really necessary? I’ll handle things with Brendon.”

Jedidiah didn’t really intend to call. He couldn’t bear to see Ranita’s teary eyes. He handed the phone back to her and said sternly, “Ranita, it’s not that your brother is forcing you.”

“Think about how much you’ve suffered before. Whether it’s your brother or Mom and Dad… we all just want you to be happy.”
