Chapter 148 Be Obedient

The sun became warmer as time passed by.

Ranita took another nap until she woke up past eleven o'clock.

Dylan suddenly needed to go back Kurima for something important so he left behind a note, asking her take two more days off while he would take care of everything else about Eve.

While pouring herself some water, Ranita called Dylan immediately afterwards.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Her voice sounded nasal due having just woken up; soft yet groggy at the same time...

Dylan chuckled over phone before answering, "You haven't been resting well lately so when I saw how soundly you slept this morning, I decided not wake you up."

After pausing briefly, Dylan continued speaking again, "Moon Mountain has great scenery plus staying here is comfortable too – relax yourself properly, okay? But don't forget about answering your phone though - both Eve and myself will worry otherwise."

Ranite fell silent for awhile before replying with an "okay" followed by an apology saying, "I won't forget next time."

Ranita had not been in a good mood the previous day, which had led to her impulsive decision to leave. It had even caused Dylan to come looking for her late at night. Adults shouldn't act so recklessly.

"I didn't mean to blame you. Rest up and wait for me to finish my work, and I'll come to meet you right away," Dylan said.

Ranita chuckled softly. If Dylan knew that Brendon was also at Moonlight Mountain, he probably wouldn't have spoken so calmly.

There was a restaurant in the resort. Ranita chose a seat by the window, and just as she took a few bites of her meal, someone sat down across from her.

"Have you ordered yet?" Brendon inquired.

"Today is a workday, Mr. Stuart, aren't you supposed to be busy?" Ranita replied, her voice icy.

Brendon handed her a glass of water. "Still angry?"

Ranita's hand paused, and she looked at Brendon with a subtle expression. "What's there to be angry about?"

"If you're not angry anymore, then come back with me later. Your injury hasn't healed, and I can't leave you alone here," Brendon said. He had a meeting in the afternoon and should have left by now.

Caleb had called several times already. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"I'm not a child. There's no reason to worry about me," Ranita replied. She wasn't particularly moved by this sudden display of concern. She felt weighed down by it.

He was trying to appease her for a reason.

"Ranita, listen to me!" Brendon stared at her, his emotions surging, bordering on anger.

In the past, Ranita used to listen to him. She was obedient, she tried to please him, she was cautious, and she never stood against him. But look at what she had gained. She was still disliked by the people at Boulderland Mansion and abandoned by Brendon.

Ranita didn't want to be like that anymore.

"I'm currently on vacation. I'll go back whenever I want. I'm full." Ranita got up and left.

She returned to her villa and was about to check the materials Chris had sent when the doorbell rang.

She knew exactly who it was without having to guess. Ranita acted as if she hadn't heard and didn't go to open the door.

After some time, Ranita suddenly heard a thud from the balcony. She peeked out and found herself locking eyes with Brendon, who had just climbed over the railing.

There were a few gray stains on his white shirt, making him look a bit comical.

Ranita's heart softened. "You're an adult, and you're climbing over railings? The resort staff must have seen you. They'll call the police for sure."

Standing tall and slender, the man turned his head, and a hint of sadness suddenly appeared on his face. He said, "If you won't open the door, I'll have to find another way."

"Why didn't you just pick the lock, then?"

"I think there are no handy tools."

After Brendon washed his hands, he sat down across from her. "Ranita, don't be stubborn. Come back with me."
