Chapter 1007 Well-matched
Brendan led the way, and Emily's eyes darkened when she saw that the pastries she had given him earlier remained untouched.But soon, she caught up.“Mr. Brighthall, slow down a bit,” said Emily, who reached out to grab Brendan’s arm. But as soon as she touched him, he forcefully shook her off.Brendan didn’t mean it to be that forceful. Slightly furrowing his brows, he demanded, “Don’t touch me.”Emily forced a laugh. “Mr. Brighthall, is it necessary for you to be so guarded? It’s not like I’m going to eat you or kill anyone. I’m just interested in you. Today’s transaction is purely because you need my help. Your attitude is inappropriate, isn’t it?”“Sorry, I don’t like people touching me,” Brendan apologized as his two black eyes narrowed.“It turns out that you have a cleanliness obsession. I’ll keep that in mind,” Emily said with a faint smile. “Let’s go.”Emily was polite and kept a distance.On the other hand, Brendan was rather embarrassed and tried to ignore Emily when
Chapter 1008 Is He Really Good to You?
Deirdre’s mind buzzed as she heard her mother’s accusations.‘Brendan went to buy clothes together with Miss Emily? And they acted intimately?’Mrs. Engel rushed over, not even bothering to wipe her hands. “No, no! There was no intimacy. I think those photos look quite normal. Their arms didn’t even touch. Maybe it was just a trick of angles? Mr. Brighthall has always been very cautious and wouldn’t do something like this.”Ophelia wanted to explode in anger. “Then what about him saying he was going to the office and ending up with another woman? What does he take Deirdre for?”Mrs. Engel couldn’t defend Brendan any further.Ophelia sat down on the couch and grabbed Deirdre’s hand.“Deirdre, tell me, do you really want to be with Brendan? Is he really good to you?”“Mom, he’s very good to me.” Although Deirdre didn’t know what had happened, her first reaction was calming her mother down. It would be meaningless for her mother to know too much because of her poor health.“You’re
Chapter 1009 Don’t Let Brendan Find Out
Emily pouted. ‘How boring! Someone has already reported it to him so soon.’Nevertheless, she had to keep up the act.“What’s wrong, Mr. Brighthall? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”Brendan showed Emily those reports and said coldly, “Miss Collins, I respect you, but that doesn’t mean you can play these tricks on me.”Following that, he turned and walked away.Emily quickly caught up and grabbed Brendan.“Wait for me, Brendan—”“Don’t touch me!”After being forcefully shaken off, Emily’s hand throbbed with pain, and she gasped. She couldn’t maintain her grip on the bag and released her grasp. But she ignored her bag and ran toward Brendan. “Hold on, Brendan, listen to me. This has nothing to do with me. What benefit do I get from this if it spreads?”Brendan finally grabbed her wrist with a powerful grip and glared at Emily furiously.“If Deirdre finds out, I will definitely ensure that you are held responsible for your action.”After speaking, he walked away
Chapter 1010 Don’t You Care?
Deirdre pretended not to know on purpose.Brendan’s black eyes were dull and lifeless. He wondered whether Deirdre really trusted him or… she didn’t care.At the thought of the second possibility, his heart began to twitch, and he couldn’t stop it.Brendan chuckled as if he was mocking himself. “Deirdre, I’d prefer you questioning and suspecting me. After all, I lied to you. And this is better than remaining silent and not caring about what happened to me.”Deirdre was stunned for a moment and slowly clenched her fists. “Is there no other possibility?”Brendan looked up at Deirdre as she said, “I just believe you.“Brendan, I believe there is nothing between you and Miss Collins. If you had thoughts of marrying other women to strengthen yourself, you wouldn’t have disregarded your reputation in the previous matter.“Since you were just attending a social event, how can that be considered lying to me? You just didn’t go to the company.” Deirdre said in a light and calm tone as
Chapter 1011 Deirdre Is Everything to Me
Brendan glanced at Deirdre’s red lips with desire, raised his head, and greeted, “Aunt McKinnon.”Ophelia said, “I saw both of you hugging each other from upstairs. Have you made up with each other?”“Hmm.” Brendan nodded and held Deirdre’s hand. “I explain everything that happened clearly to Deirdre, so she forgives me.”There was no way to tell Ophelia’s mood from her expression, but she cracked a rigid smile as if she was still infuriated by the incident earlier.“Alright then. I can’t meddle with both of you when you’re in a couple’s quarrel. However, I will never let you off if you do a disservice to Deirdre, even if she forgives you.”Brendan’s expression was extremely sincere when he said, “Yes, Aunt McKinnon. Deirdre is everything to me. I swear that I will never let her endure any injustice, and I won’t allow other women to challenge her place.”Deirdre was stunned for a moment while Ophelia did not comment further. She came to stop Brendan when he was preparing to ent
Chapter 1012 She Wondered Whether She Was Overthinking It
Deirdre shut her eyes and thought about it for a while before she fell asleep. She put on a jacket and headed downstairs after she got up the next morning and discovered that Brendan was already at the dining table.Deirdre sat beside her and lowered her head to eat her oats. Her hair was hanging loosely around her shoulders, so strands of her hair almost dipped into the oats. Brendan wanted to help her push away her hair subconsciously, yet he pulled back his extended hand. “Deirdre, don’t get your hair in the oats.”“Hair?” Deirdre was confused until she tidied up the loose hair around her forehead. She came to realize the situation and was stunned for a moment. Brendan would have already pushed away her hair if this were the past. She wondered whether she was overthinking it.Deirdre lowered her eyes and continued to have her oats with her head lowered.Ophelia came downstairs as well and chatted for a while until Brendan received a call and headed to the study. Ophelia
Chapter 1013 Stay Away From Her if You Respect Her
Brendan pulled back his hand that was holding Deirdre’s hand rapidly soon afterward. Ophelia’s warning from last night came into his mind. “Brendan, if you respect and love Deirdre, stop behaving inappropriately toward her. You haven’t married her, so don’t let her live indecently. This is also very uncomfortable for me, her mother, who is watching.“I won’t stop you anymore when you’re really planning on marrying her to make her your wife. Otherwise, I’m considering what Deirdre means to you in your heart.”Brendan felt extremely troubled but could understand Ophelia’s intention. It was because the situation with Emily yesterday had gone too far. It was already utmost magnanimous of Ophelia not to lose her temper after learning about the false report. He did not wish to continue to disappoint Ophelia in any other way. Hence, he could only bear with it despite his strong urge to wrap his arms around Deirdre. He had to learn to respect Deirdre. Deirdre was caught off g
Chapter 1014 How Can I Trust You
Emily’s goal was not innocent. She had utilized public opinion to bond him to her first. Then, she suddenly announced that she would treat Deirdre’s eyes. It would be impossible for him not to be on guard. “If you really want my colleague to treat Miss McKinnon’s eyes, we can do that, of course.”Emily continued to smile consistently. Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. In the next moment, Emily said, “You’re going to have to take the trouble to wait a little longer then, Mr. Brighthall.”“What do you mean?” Brendan exuded coldness from his entire body, and he was one step away from interrogating her. “Didn’t you claim that you would pass me the contact method of the ophthalmologist if I were to agree to your request?”“Yes.” Emily nodded and appeared slightly vexed. “I can give you his contact method, of course. However, it’s quite unlucky that you want to commission him to treat Miss McKinnon because my colleague has left the research center to visit his mentor.”Brendan furrowe
