A Successful Career After Divorce

The light shone on his elegant nose.

Long, curled eyelashes cast a shadow, making Brendon’s already stunning face even more breathtaking.

Faced with such beauty, Ranita felt her mouth go dry. She lowered her gaze to his lips, thin but with perfect color-not too bright, but just right.

Their eyes locked, invisible sparks flying between them.

Ranita felt drawn in, lowering her head to kiss Brendon’s thin lips. The heated kiss spread, like a sweet warmth entering their hearts.

The sweetness offered was irresistible.

Brendon couldn’t hold back, biting down heavily, causing the woman in his arms to protest.

She clutched his collar, her rapid breathing turning her cheeks red like a tempting fruit.

“Ranita… do you know you’re playing with fire?”

Ranita felt both hot and soft from the kiss.

Her reason returned slightly, and she tried to avoid his kiss, her voice becoming hoarse and alluring. Embarrassed, she said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

Ranita felt deeply ashamed.

How could she have taken the initiative…

“I… I’ll go back first!” Ranita struggled to get off Brendon, hastily straightening her clothes before running off quickly.

Brendon chased after her, “Don’t run, be careful.”

“Okay!” Ranita replied awkwardly, running even faster.

Ranita jogged home.

The evening was quite warm, and by the time she got home, she was sweating, making her flushed cheeks less noticeable.

She gulped down water when suddenly the light turned on.

Chole leaned against the door, eyes full of curiosity. “Ranita, what were you doing out so late?”

“Ah!” Ranita was startled and nearly choked on the water.

“I went for a run,” Ranita made up an excuse, but Chole sneered, “Running? Dressed like that?”

Although Ranita was in casual clothes, they were not suitable for running.

“None of your business!”

“Heh, I don’t want to meddle, but you…” Chole stepped closer, catching a faint scent of perfume. She smirked, “Were you out on a date with a man?”

“A blind date mom set up? Seems like it went well!”

Ranita’s heart pounded with anxiety.

Sure enough, the next morning, Chole brought it up on purpose. “Mom, weren’t you worried about Ranita’s marriage? I’m curious too.”

“How’s it going?”

Hearing Chole’s concern for Ranita, Alexia was delighted. “Yesterday the guy from the Grant family came over. I think he’s nice.”

“If he’s nice, then hurry and settle it! A single mother should find a man to rely on.” Chole’s eyes flashed with mockery. “Ayaan is growing up. How pitiful if people say he has no father!”

“Ranita, don’t you agree?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Ranita held back her anger. “Thank you for your concern, Chole.”

“But this is my personal matter. I’ll handle it myself.”

Alexia couldn’t stand their arguing and immediately tried to mediate. “Ranita, don’t be mad! Chole is just concerned about you!”

“You said you wanted to be friends with Leon? He seems interested in you. Why not meet him again?”

Chole casually suggested, “Mom, that’s too much trouble! Why not throw a party and invite all the men? Let Ranita choose who she likes!”
