Chapter 273 The Boy Whom She Once Peeked
Ranita''s spine stiffened. She lowered her eyshes and pushed away Brendon''s arm, silently
putting on simple andfortable home clothes.
"Are you... not angry anymore?" Brendon''s voice was low, as if he knew he had gone too far this
time.
In truth, Ranita didn''t me him. She med herself.
"I''m not angry." Pausing for a moment, she said, "You''re busy with work and can''t afford to waste
time. Boatleigh Manor is so beautiful that it''s really a pity you couldn''t see it properly."
As for who he was with or what he was doing when he wasn''t around, she didn''t want to ask.
"Ranita... are you really not angry?" Brendon looked down with dark circles under his eyes. His
handsome face looked tired and it was clear that he hadn''t slept well.

"Really. Didn''t you say I wouldn''t care?" Ranita saw that hisplexion wasn''t good and pursed her
lips saying, "Did you rest well?"
"Mm... I didn''t sleep very well."
"Well then go rest now. I''ll make something to eat and call you when it''s ready." Ranita gently
pushed Brendon while wearing the same expression as before.
Brendon made an affirmative sound without even changing his clothes before falling asleep
immediately after lying down again. He must have been very tired.
A marriage among three people was indeed exhausting.
Ranita quietly made dinner and called Brendon up to eat together. They chatted casually before
sleeping in each other''s embrace
Ranita nestled in his arms listening to his heartbeat feeling both sourness and sweetness in her
heart.
"Can''t sleep?" asked Brendon squinting at her.
"What about you? Why aren''t you sleeping?" After pausing for a moment she asked, "Can you stay
here today?"
Ranita never thought that she would be so humble when reuniting with her husband at home but
instead felt like the canary who had turned upside down despite being the one married to him all
along.
"Sleep! Goodnight." Without answering back, Brendon held onto her while gently stroking her back.
The next day, early morning came around quickly as usual. Brendon went out again leaving behind
Ranita who went over her professor''s house bringing red wine. Her professor invited Vincent to
come over resulting in them having lunch together happily.
While they were eating lunch together, Ranita received a phone call from Brendon who seemed
quite anxious, "Ranita, where did you go? Aren''t you at home?"
"Mm…I went out…what happened?" replied Ranita lightly.
Brendon felt like there was something off about Ranita''s voice which sounded distant, cold, and
detached, making him feel uneasy inside.
"I had someone send you the evening dress. You..." Brendon''s words were cut off by Shannon''s
high-pitched voice in the background.
He was probably calling her toe eat.
"I got it. I''ll go back soon. If it''s someone trustworthy, just give them the password and leave the stuff
at home," Ranita said.
After a few seconds of silence, Brendon spoke again, "Ranita, I''ll exin everything to youter.
Don''t be angry."
"If I get angry, will you stay away from Shannon?" Ranita moved her lips but didn''t say anything else
except for a soft "Mm-hmm."
"Have a good meal. Bye."
Ranita didn''t say anything and didn''t want to think too much about it either.
But then she heard Shannon''s sweet voice on the other end of the phone saying, "Brendon, who
are you talking to? Come over quickly! We''re going to try on dresses together..."
Click!
The phone hung up.
Ranita stood on the balcony in a daze and looked out at Kurima Foreign Studies University''s library
where ivy still grew lushly...
The bright sunlight made her eyes blur.
In that moment of confusion, Ranita seemed to see herself as a young girl many years ago hiding
behind ivy leaves and secretly watching her beloved boy...
