Chapter 270 Can You Wait for Me?
For over a week since Ranita disappeared, the physical torture she endured was not the main
concern. What worried people more was her mental state.
Ranita looked the same as before.
But ording to the report given by her psychologist, Ranita''s mental condition wasn''t as healthy
as it appeared on the surface. Apart from writing in her journal, she hadn''t confided in anyone about
its contents, which wasn''t good at all.
Because it was hidden inside her heart, Ranita had nightmares every night.
"Thank you for your cooperation Mr. Stuart. If you have any questions please contact me!"
The phone hung up but Ranita''s thoughts were still muddled. Did Brendon suddenly change his
mind about getting a divorce because he didn''t want to upset her?
Her heart felt sour.
Ranita didn''t open her eyes; she was afraid that Brendon wouldn''t be able to exin himself clearly
or that he would exin too much.
"Ranita, wake up! We''re here!" A pair of warm hands gently shook her arm and Ranita yawned and
opened her eyes to meet Brendon''s dark eyes.
Perhaps love is blind because she thought that Brendon had the best eyes in the world - narrow but
not small with stars and oceans hidden within them.
"Hmm?" The man tilted his head quizzically at Ranita. "What''s wrong? Are you feeling
ufortable somewhere?"
Ranita shook her head no.
Brendon carried their luggage while holding onto one of Ranita''s arms leading them forward slowly
this time instead of his usual fast pace amodating for hers.
Brendon''s amodation surprised Ranita; he was amodating her more than she expected.
In that moment, she thought, "Let it be like this! Don''t worry about the reasons, as long as I''m by his
side."
After settling in, Brendon went to meet a friend, and Ranita, not in the mood to go out, nibbled on
something and nestled into the sofa. She had work to do, especially the job she had promised to
discuss with Chris. Her inbox was filled with unread emails. Just as she finished sorting them out,
Vincent called her.
"Hey Ranita," said Vincent after pausing. "Do you have time today? I''d like to take you out."
"Sorry I''m not in town right now," replied Ranita pursing lips before asking. "When are you going
over the Stuart''s Corp?"
"Next week probably," answered Vincent hesitantly. "I''ve been pretty busy these days."
After several seconds of silence, Vincent asked, "Is Brenden... the person who you like?"

Was it already so obvious?
Ranita pinched her fingers and softly muttered a vague "Hmm." She didn''t know what else to say,
and there was a bit of an awkward silence.
"Okay, I got it," said Vincent with a soft chuckle.
Vincent''s rxed attitude made Ranita breathe a sigh of relief.
"We''re both from Kurima Foreign Studies University, so if you need any help in the future, just let
me know. Even if we can''t be lovers or partners, we can still be friends!" Vincent paused and
exined further to avoid awkwardness.
"After all, we''ve never been together before, so there''s no love or hate between us."
Ranita truly admired Vincent for his transparency and ease of mind. It was something that many
people couldn''t achieve even if they tried.
"You''re right! I''m staying at Boatleigh Manor right now and I heard their red wine is great. I''ll bring
you back some souvenirs," said Ranita as she mentioned the wine.
Vincent replied with a smile on his face, "Don''t forget to bring some for Professor too. He loves it."
Ranita chuckled softly and agreed, "You''re absolutely right! If I only give one to you but not him, he''ll
nag me about it for years!"
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door.
Ranita hurriedly put on her slippers and opened the door to see Brendon''s handsome yet cold face
staring back at her.
"Ranita, something urgent came up and I have to leave now. Can you wait here for me?" asked
Brendon while his phone screen was still lit up with an ongoing call.
Was this about Shannon again?
