The Divorcee Who Shines

Chapter 55 Anticipation

Chapter 55 Anticipation

"Giggles, giggles, giggles!" Ranita's dreams were filled with laughter that night.

She used to have mixed feelings about the unexpected pregnancy, but now she found herself filled with anticipation and love for the baby.

The next morning when Dylan arrived, Ranita shared her discovery from the previous night. Dylan's eyes widened in excitement as he asked eagerly, "Really? Can I feel it?"

As Dylan reached out to touch Ranita's belly, Steve grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "What are you doing? Men and women don't touch like that! You have some nerve!" Steve raised an eyebrow.

Ever since finding out they were on the same side of things, Dylan no longer saw Steve as an outsider. He hooked his arm around Steve's neck and grinned mischievously. "Don't you want to feel the baby too?"

Of course Steve did want to feel it but he was a doctor after all!

Ranita was only two months pregnant so what she felt probably wasn't fetal movement yet, but seeing how happy she looked made him not want to spoil her mood. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"It is indeed amazing but let's not scare ourselves since the baby is still small," said Steve after a pause before pulling away from Dylan's grip while muttering coldly under his breath, "Don't get too close. We're not that familiar."

Steve was quite familiar with Chris, but he didn't really have much of a relationship with Dylan.

The main reason was that the Webster family dynamics were quite complicated! Chris was the eldest son of the Webster family, and his biological mother passed away. Dylan, on the other hand, was the child of the second Mrs. Webster! It wouldn't have been a big deal, but the fact that the second Mrs. Webster came into the family with a child made Mrs. Webster and Dylan looked down upon.

The privileged second-generation individuals in Kurima didn't really associate much with Dylan. However, Dylan's good nature and friendly personality had allowed him to make many friends on his own. Additionally, having the support of the Webster family and his own business endeavors, he had been able to establish himself with confidence and success.

"Steve, why are you being so polite? If you're friends with Ranita, then you're my friend too!" said Dylan before suddenly remembering Shannon. His expression turned serious as he asked, "You don't have to go back Sugar Media today, do you?"

"Mia came back so she'll take care of it," replied Ranita who also didn't want any more dealings with Shannon - it was just too frustrating for them both.

"From now on, we should avoid anything related to Shannon..." Dylan didn't finish his sentence before Olivia called.

Ranita answered the phone and found out that Mia wasn't answering her calls, and Sugar Media was already blowing up their studio phone.

"You keep looking for Mia, I'll go there first." Ranita had no choice but to go to Sugar Media.

Dylan was so angry that he ranted while walking Ranita to the door. "I'm telling you, if Shannon bullies you, come find me! I'll teach her a lesson!"

"Aren't you afraid of Brendon?"

"Why should I be afraid of him?! What can he do to me?" Dylan was confident. Although his relationship with Chris was average at best, he still had some face as part of the Webster family.

"Walk slower and take a break every once in a while."

"You're right!" Ranita nodded without arguing. "I'll remember."

As soon as Ranita entered Sugar Media, she ran into two people she didn't want to see - Shannon and Holly.

"Tsk tsk! Ranita, you're so impressive! You've hooked Mr. Webster so quickly? Your reputation as a bitch isn't unfounded." Holly started with sarcasm. "Last time Mr. Webster protected you... I wonder if you were already together back then? Shameless!"
