Chapter 1044 Brendan's Trigger
Emily appeared serious. "I would like to pay a visit to the location to check out the environment. Will you take me there, Mr. Brighthall?"Deirdre came to understand Emily's intention. She requested to talk to Brendan in private earlier and was trying to figure out a way to go out with Brendan now. She took great pains to do that. Deirdre would not be bothered if this was any other day, yet Deirdre could feel that Emily was using dirty tricks after yesterday's incident. "Mrs. Engel is on her way back from the market. She'll take you there personally when she's back. That would be better."Emily checked her watch. "However, I'm very busy and may not be unoccupied later."Deirdre got up right away and said, "I shall take you there then.""You…"Emily's expression changed. Deirdre raised an eyebrow. "You seem to be very disappointed, Miss Collins. Is it because the person taking you there is not the right person?"Emily bit her lower lip and forced a smile while she said,
Chapter 1045 Never Been Aggrieved This Way
It was no wonder why Deirdre did not react at all from the moment Emily prepared the coffee and headed upstairs while ignoring Deirdre.Emily was convinced that Deirdre knew about Brendan's trigger. 'What a malicious woman!'Emily suppressed the panic in her chest and explained softly, "I don't intend to barge into your personal space, Mr. Brighthall. I have something to discuss with you, yet you are still in the study. I'm about to leave soon, so there is nothing else that I can do. Hence, I seized the opportunity to send a coffee to you so I could speak to you."Brendan looked at her without changing his expression or speaking. He waited for her to continue her speech. Emily suppressed her anxiety and said, "I checked out the farmers' market where Miss McKinnon's food comes from. The environment is not very hygienic. Moreover, she would be more suited to a low-fat and sodium diet. I'm thinking of creating a recipe myself and bringing over cooking ingredients daily so the serva
Chapter 1046 Work Together
'What the heck!? How dare a measly servant walk all over me?'Meanwhile, the phone in Emily's bag rang. Emily was not planning on taking the call since she was terribly upset, yet the caller refused to hang up.She pulled out her phone and took the call in an extremely annoyed tone. "Who's this?"The other end of the call was silent for two seconds before a muffled peal of laughter sounded. "It seems that you've been aggrieved tremendously by Brendan, huh, Miss Collins?"Emily's temples bulged up. "Who are you?"She furrowed her eyebrows tightly in extreme vigilance. 'How could this person know that Brendan has aggrieved me?'"Don't be so anxious, Miss Collins. I don't bear any ill intention toward you. On the contrary, I'm here to help you.""Help me?" Emily was inherently arrogant and refused to be associated with an evil person like this. "How dare you claim you're here to help me when you don't have the courage to show yourself instead of hiding in the dark sneakily?"
Chapter 1047 Emily Is Here Again Today
'That woman.'Deirdre came to realize that it was Emily and felt surprised soon afterward."She's here again?""Yes. She was obviously furious yesterday. Anyone with a sense of dignity would understand and wouldn't come anymore. She is actually acting like nothing happened. Not only did she come early in the morning, but she even sat on the sofa to read the newspaper."Deirdre's movements of putting on her clothes halted to a stop. She found that strange. She knew that Emily was inherently arrogant. Even if she were not to give up easily after losing, she would give herself some time to cool down, to the very least. Deirdre did not expect that Emily would come the next day as if nothing had happened. "Did Emily say anything when she came?"Mrs. Engel shook her head. "No. She greeted me with a smile and asked me if you're awake. Then, she went to sit on the sofa."Deirdre got changed and ate the oatmeal spoon by spoon. Mrs. Engel was troubled. "Do you think she insists on co
Chapter 1048 The Calm Before the Storm
Deirdre totally did it to show her on purpose…However, Emily remembered something soon enough, and a look of pride flashed past her eyes. 'Deirdre, you may continue to show off.'You won't be showing off much longer…anyhow!"Miss McKinnon." Emily shut the document and stood up. "You're up at long last. I was planning on knocking on your door if you still weren't up."Deirdre could hear the kindness in Emily's voice as if the hatred from yesterday had never existed. At the same time she was stunned, she was astonished by Emily's tolerance. If Charlene was in Emily's place, she would not be able to put up with the grievance, especially when Emily was supposed to be surrounded by suitors. "I'm sorry. I didn't sleep well, so I was having trouble waking up today.""It's fine. Women do sleep more during pregnancy, and I can understand that. Hence, I've already drafted a sleep schedule for you, Miss McKinnon. Will you rest according to my schedule from today onward?"Emily read o
Chapter 1049 Stay Over
"Yes."Brendan tilted her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. "Moreover, even if you don't trust her, don't you trust me? Even if it's feigned, I won't have any feelings for her."The man's kiss was brief, along with his breathing. Deirdre could not help leaning over, and her body turned limp as well as she indulged in the moment. It was what she thought in her heart as well.'Even if Emily has some plan, Brendan won't fall for her trick so easily.'She decided not to think about it and shut her eyes to immerse in the heated, passionate moment.Brendan suddenly shoved her away when they reached the peak of their passion. Deirdre was jolted back to reality and blinked innocently. "What's going on?"Brendan could not bring himself to tell her that Emily had reminded him not to do this. If he brought that up, he figured Deirdre would be suspicious. "I suddenly remembered that I have a project proposal to submit tonight. It's very urgent.""Ah…" Deirdre's cheeks felt warm, an
Chapter 1050 Has She Given Up for Real?
“Will that be alright?” Emily felt very coy. “I feel bad for troubling all of you every time it rains.”“There are many guest rooms here, so it’s no trouble.”Emily could only accept the offer. “Alright then. Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, Miss McKinnon.”Emily returned from the hallway and stayed on the balcony to go through the documents. Brendan left the study room and came downstairs. He noticed Emily on the balcony with his eyes, and Mrs. Engel explained, “It’s raining too heavily, so Mrs. Brighthall wants Miss Collins to stay.”“Hmm.” Brendan nodded nonchalantly and headed to the kitchen. He found Deirdre kneading dough in the kitchen, so he seized the opportunity to hug her from the back and placed his thin lips next to her ear.“You want Emily to stay, huh?”Deirdre felt ticklish and leaned her head to the side to dodge Brendan’s lips. “Hmm, she’s staying over. After all, she can’t leave in view of the heavy rain.”Brendan stared at Deirdre’s face. “I thi
Chapter 1051 Emily Is in Brendan's Study Room
"Brendan?"Deirdre's daze was gradually replaced with clarity after sensing Brendan's lack of movements. "What's going on?"Brendan burrowed his head into the woman's chest. "Just wait for a little while more.""Wait for what?"Brendan caressed her hair. "Just wait until you've recovered."Deirdre came to realize that Brendan was refusing to touch her. She sat upright. "Why?"Brendan was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he softly explained, "Emily said that your body's condition is not suited to… If too much strength is involved, it will be bad for the blood clot in your brain. In a serious case, it will affect the treatment.""Emily said so? When?""On the balcony the other day."Deirdre came to understand why Brendan would use his meeting and work as an excuse every time previously. She could obviously feel his passion, yet he would always stop himself abruptly. "So, just wait for a few more months for your eyes." Brendan hugged her and whispered into her ear, "Or
