The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 Compensation

Brendon frowned and his expression became emotional.

"Shannon..."

"Brendon, I'm fine... I just got emotional, I'll be okay in a bit!" Shannon looked softly at Brendon with a voice that was both teary and intentionally playful, making one feel ticklish inside.

"Brendon, don't be difficult. Last time was just an accident... you don't have to carry the burden..." Shannon approached him boldly, pressing her body against his waist and even rubbing her chest against him.

Brendon discreetly dodged away.

"Shannon... about what happened last time, I haven't explained it clearly to you. I know using being drunk as an excuse is not acceptable, and I should take responsibility. However, I am currently married and may not be able to give you an explanation. But I will compensate you in other ways."

Brendon's decision to divorce was indeed partly due to Shannon, but not entirely.

Shannon's heart grew cold as she stared at the tall man with innocent eyes. Though her expression was hurt, her words were reasonable and understanding. "Brendon... I won't blame you... you are still married to Ranita now, and I won't ask for anything from you... and I also have a great responsibility."

"Brendon, I don't ask for anything. I just hope you won't distance yourself from me," Shannon said, her eyes turning red. "I always feel like a burden to you."

Brendon pursed his lips, reached out and rubbed her head, and made a noncommittal "Hmm" sound.

He turned around only to see Shannon sitting on the ground with teary eyes looking at him through the glass window.

"Take care of that," Brendon put away his phone then helped Shannon up while asking, "What happened? Why are you so careless?"

"I... I need to go use the restroom..." Shannon lowered her head in submission then asked softly, "... Were you talking with Ranita earlier?"

"She's injured, and there's no one to take care of her... Brendon, maybe you should go back and take care of Ranita! I'm fine now. If you stay here, I'm afraid Ranita will be angry with me again."

Shannon noticed that Brendon's expression was a bit serious, so she immediately put on a helpless look and spoke with a pretended strength, "Without you, Brendon, I'm very sad, can't eat or drink properly... But all of that doesn't matter. I have Holly by my side, my aunt, and many other people taking care of me. You don't need to worry about me."
