Chapter 277 Three People, Too Crowded

Who made her unhappy?

Besides himself, who else could it be? Ranita's already fiery heart became even more inflamed.

Ranita pursed her lips and spoke in a cool voice, "Brendon, I need to change. Can you please leave first?” "Are you angry?" Brendon asked

"I am angry. What are you going to do about it?" Ranita's lips curled up into a smile that was clearly cold. What did her anger matter to Brendon?

In his mind, it was just something that could be resolved with one or two sentences.

“Ranita... I'm sorry..." Brendon tightened his arms around her and the scent of sweetness wafted over. Unable to bear it any longer, Ranita pushed him away and looked into Brendon's eyes as she asked, "Weren't you supposed to accompany Miss Murphy in trying on dresses? How come you have time to come here?"

Brendon fell silent. His gaze was dark and oppressive for several seconds before he finally asked, "Did you hear about Shannon going to the birthday party too?" Ranita clenched the dress tightly in her hand as she asked him back with a hint of sorrow in her voice, "Is she going with you?"

"Mm-hmm." This sound felt like a boulder crashing down on Ranita's heart while the flames burned fiercely inside of her until there was nothing left but ashes.

Ranita turned away from him coldly as she said, "Then what identity do I have when I go with you then?"

A marriage among three people was too crowded.

The atmosphere grew colder by the second.

Brendon held onte her hand tightly while staring at her pupils intently. He seemed conflicted but didn't say anything for a long time. Silence spread throughout the room while Ranita’s heart grew colder by the minute.

"Brendon... you should leave now." She pushed his hands away inch by inch before adding, "Shannon is waiting for you."

Ranita made concessions because she wanted to preserve some self-respect instead of making endless compromises.

As he watched this woman turn away from him with an icy expression on her face, Brenden felt very uncomfortable inside. “Ranita... Shannon will go together with my family members. You'll come along with me because your my wife."

For once, Ranita found herself speechless despite opening up wide enough mouth without saying anything at all.

"Don't be angry anymore. I'll handle things properly, and we can talk < later." Brenden reached out and hugged Ranita, patted gently on backtrying calm down whatéver eraetions were raging within.

Wrapped up in warmth, Ranita's heart hurt half due pain, half due reluctance. "Okay..." Ranita murmured, lowering her eyelashes in response. Brendon didn't leave, instead he watched her intently.

"You go out first... I'll change my clothes," Ranita said, feeling her heart beating faster.

Brendon cAuckled softly and N reached ' Sut to help tidy up the stray hair ardund her ears. "The zipper at the back I is hard to pull up, letrne help you.” to

"I can do it myself,” Ranita said with a hint of pain in her eyes. Did he also help Shannon try on dresses like this?

"You go out!" Ranita spoke coldly.

Brendon noticed that she wasn't feeling well and frowned. "What's wrong?”

Ranita didn't answer him and turned away slowly to take off her clothes.

The gaze behind her felt a little hot.

Ranita ignored him and put on the dress but as Brendon had mentioned earlier, the zipper at the back was indeed difficult to pull up.

“Let me do it," Brendon leaned over to help while his fingertips occasionally brushed against her skin causing an itch that made his mind wander.

She pursed lips wanting to move away from him a bit more but he whispered ih her ear firmly, "Don't ~ move!” His gaze fell on Ranita’s a half- ceyered back which was ¢> slendér yet beautiful making! his badly feel warm as if he haddrunk aféohol. .to
