    Shannon knew that if she showed enough weakness and looked pitiful enough, Brendon wouldn''t


    be able to refuse her. This was her winning strategy – it had never failed before.


    "Shannon, I''m a little tired and want to rest for a bit. Can you leave?" Brendon made an excuse and


    didn''t want to continue discussing these matters.


    Hearing this, Shannon grabbed his sleeve with a distressed expression on her face. "Brendon, do


    you hate me?" she asked.


    "How could I? Don''t think too much about it," Brendon replied calmly. He didn''t dislike Shannon but


    he also didn''t particrly like her either – he used to have trouble distinguishing between the two


    feelings but now he understood that he only felt brotherly affection towards Shannon along with


    some guilt and responsibility.


    "That''s good! As long as you don''t hate me then I''m satisfied!" Shannon rubbed her reddened eyes


    and continued speaking in a small voice. "But... Aunt, Holly and everyone at Bouldend Mansion


    know about our rtionship so can you not push me away when we''re outside? Otherwise I''ll lose


    face!"


    Brendon chuckled at how childish she sounded while pouting cutely. "When did I ever push you


    away? Don''t worry too much about it; just rest well since you just got out of the hospital."


    Shannon smiled sweetly before obediently leaving the room but once she turned around, she


    couldn''t maintain that expression anymore!


    Brendon wasn''t as affectionate towards her as before! What if he really did put Ranita in his heart


    instead of herself? What would happen then? Unconsciously resentment shed across Shannon''s


    eyes.


    Ever since bing pregnant, Ranita had been having trouble sleeping at night especially tonight


    when Jedidiah called which brought up emotions buried deep within causing difort inside.


    Just then, Ranita''s phone rang.


    "Hello?"


    There were some rustling sounds from the other end of the line before someone spoke up


    hesitantly, "Excuse me… are you Miss Ranita?"


    "Yes… is there something wrong?"


    "Here is C-club. There''s ady who''s drunk and causing a scene, and she asked me to call you.


    Can youe over and take her away? Hey hey hey..." After a chaotic noise, Mia''s voice came


    through, "Ranita... it''s me, Mia..."


    "I''m really sorry... can you forgive me?" Mia was clearly drunk, her voice tinged with tears...


    Ranita didn''t want to deal with it, but Mia was alone in Kurima working hard every day without many


    friends around her. If Ranita didn''t go, someone might take advantage of Mia.


    When Ranita arrived, Mia was lying on the table like a drunken shrimp and wouldn''t move. If Ranita


    hadn''t instructed one of the staff members to keep an eye on her, she would have been taken away


    by now.


    Ranita handed over the tip and had someone help put Mia in the car.


    It wasn''t possible for Ranita to send her home alone so she went to a nearby hotel room instead.


    Along the way, Mia kept clinging onto Ranita''s hand saying sorry while crying hysterically.


    After tossing and turning untilte at night, Ranita was too tired and fell asleep.


    "Ring ring!"


    The sound woke up Ranita as she fumbled for her phone and answered hoarsely, "Hello?"


    The call was from Caleb asking her to pack up and go on business trip with Brendon to Qaesburg. It


    would take about fifteen minutes for him to arrive at the front of her house. Ranita massaged her


    dizzy head, said dryly, "I''m not at home. Let Brendon go first. I''ll be thereter."


    The next second, Brendon''s maic voice came through, "Where are you?"
