The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 She Admits Her Mistake

Their eyes met.

Ranita couldn't help but swallow her saliva. The man had just finished showering and was only wrapped in a bathrobe. Water droplets from his hair dripped onto his long neck and slid down the defined muscles into the robe.

The scent of cedarwood filled the air.

Ranita's heart raced as if it were about to jump out of her throat! He was so close that she could see the sharp bridge of his nose when he lowered his gaze. His hot breath brushed against her earlobe, making her skin tingle with heat, like she had been rubbed with chili oil - burning hot!

Even through two layers of fabric, Ranita could feel the warmth emanating from him! It felt like a bundle of oily fire being poured over her body, leaving her mind blank and buzzing.

"Brendon... let go." Ranita's voice trembled uncontrollably.

She never expected Brendon to be in the room, let alone pinning her against the wall like this.

Brendon seemed surprised too. He stared at her for a few seconds with dark eyes before clearing his throat coolly, "What are you doing here?"

Brendon was taken aback. He heard some noise coming from the room after he got out of the bathroom and thought it was one of their maids sneaking in there! But as soon as they made eye contact, he recognized who it was right away.

He held onto Ranita's soft wrist tightly while wrapping himself around her body. The familiar warmth and scent invaded all his senses at once.

Brendon felt an inexplicable flame ignite within him that left him feeling parched. His deep-set eyes flickered with hidden emotions like an abyssal pool stirred by waves beneath its surface.

Ranita forced herself to explain, "I came back to pack my things. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Her voice sounded cold now that things had turned sour again between them after meeting again so unexpectedly.
