Chapter 169 She Didn’t Hurt Anyone
Charlene no longer expected anything else to happen tonight. She bit her lip and left. However, as she was leaving, her eyes were filled with intense hatred.Damn Deirdre! Deirdre had not only spoiled her good deed, but she had also almost made Brendan doubt her. Charlene was determined not to forgive this b*tch!After Charlene left, the huge room instantly looked empty. Brendan strode away, and when he took two steps down the stairs, Deirdre gritted her teeth and said, “You knew it. You knew that Charlene was related to this matter.”Brendan stopped moving.His frigid face was full of complicated feelings, and his brows were furrowed. He turned and locked eyes with Deirdre. “What do you want to say?”“It’s simple.” Deirdre gritted her teeth. “Are you protecting Charlene just because you love her? Just because she is the one in your heart, you can turn a blind eye even if others are hurt?!”Brendan remained silent for two seconds before he replied with a frown. “What do you want
Chapter 170 You Should Be Comforting Yourself
Brendan dialed the phone number, and when the call was connected, he passed the phone to Deirdre.The doctor sounded very stable as he said, “Miss McKinnon, I understand how eager you are to see your mother. However, because your mother’s heart issue is at a critical junction, it’s not advisable for her to see you. If meeting you affects her emotions, our hard work all this while will be in vain.”“T-Then...” Deirdre asked while biting her lip, “When can I see my mother?”“It won’t take long, Miss McKinnon. Provided that her situation gets better, probably in about a few months. It’d be good for you to see your mother.”“Alright.”After ending the phone call, Deirdre was still in a daze. She had to wait for several months. When every moment of her life was like a year, could she really survive through a few months?Looking at Deirdre's bewildered expression, Brendan couldn't help raising his hand, wanting to stroke the messy hair on her forehead. But before he could touch her hea
Chapter 171 This Is Charlene’s Favorite Dessert
Deirdre was touched by Sam’s words. She tried to lower her head and control her emotions.“It’s no longer important. I’m the one who was delusional enough to think that Brendan wouldn’t favor anyone over the truth.”Now that Deirdre had said it, she found the idea stupid and ridiculous.Humans were generally sentimental. What's more, Charlene was the woman Brendan had loved all his life. Hence, a dog’s life and a trivial truth were nothing compared to this fact.At that moment, the sound of a car engine being switched off was heard outside.Brendan had gotten back?“What’s the time?“ Deirdre asked Sam.“It’s three o’clock.”At the moment, Brendan should be still working at the company. Why would he return now?Before either of them could react, Brendan was already at the door. When he saw Deirdre and Sam standing together, he furrowed his brows slightly.Sam tactfully greeted Brendan and went out. Meanwhile, because Deirdre was suffering from an intense headache, she went to
Chapter 172 Because She No Longer Loved Him
But now Deirdre didn’t have any reason to force herself to eat something she disliked.“Can’t you understand why I ate it in the past?” Deirdre took a deep breath. “Because at the time, the things you gave me were the most precious to me. Back then, even though the ring that you were forced to buy me didn't fit, I was reluctant to take it off at all. I preferred to put something on the ring and wear it on my finger, but now..." She shuddered as she breathed but didn’t continue. Brendan, however, looked like he had received a blow in the face and had found the answer himself.It was because Deirdre no longer loved him. Hence, she wouldn’t treat whatever he bought as a treasure. The pastry had melted into a puddle of butter on the ground, as she didn’t need to force herself to eat this anymore.Brendan felt a sudden heartache and felt so stuffy that he had difficulty breathing.He didn’t understand why he would feel uncomfortable and furious. However, he clearly felt that something
Chapter 173 Don’t Want to Confront Her
“Brendan? Why aren’t you speaking?” Charlene felt rather surprised when she did not receive a response. She bit her lower lip and said, “Are you still angry at me?”Deirdre could only say, “Brendan is not in the office.”As soon as those words were spoken, Charlene’s expression changed drastically and her voice turned into a high-pitch screech. “Deirdre! Why are you picking up Brendan’s phone?! Who gave you permission to do so? Pass the phone to Brendan immediately.”Her voice was so piercing that Deirdre had no choice but to hold the phone further away from her. She could not help mocking her. “Ms. McKinney, it would be best for you to be gentle. If Brendan is next to me, he’s probably going to be very disappointed to hear your hostile tone.”“Stop talking nonsense. Deirdre, you b*tch. Did you figure out a way to get Brendan to come to you? Are you going to take Brendan away from me?”Charlene had lost her senses from anger. It was most likely because none of her calls had been p
Chapter 174 Have Children When Your Body Has Recovered
At that thought, Brendan was having trouble concealing his agitation. He had to calm himself down for a moment before he said, “I don’t have any urgent matters to attend to today, so I’m back home to rest. Don’t overthink the situation.”He ended the call concisely. Charlene clenched her teeth and swept away all the items on the table out of anger after seeing her phone’s dark screen. ‘Deirdre! Deirdre! Screw you, Deirdre!‘If it was not for Deirdre, Brendan and I would have already consummated our relationship yesterday night and perhaps I might have already been pregnant with Brendan’s baby. But Deirdre had to destroy everything for me!’“I want you dead, b*tch!”After venting her anger frantically, Charlene turned around to find the assistant standing at the door, looking embarrassed. A look of surprise flashed past her expression. The assistant suppressed her shock when her eyes met Charlene’s and forced a faint smile. “Are you alright, Ms. McKinney? I heard noise in the of
Chapter 175 Bear a Child for the Brighthalls
It was what Brendan wanted indeed. However, he was puzzled and displeased by Deirdre’s attitude. “Yes, you’re going to bear a child,” Brendan said in a calm tone. “I refuse to believe that you don’t want a child!”Deirdre took a deep breath because she felt suffocated. “Whose child am I going to bear? Yours?”“Who else’s?” Brendan’s voice turned nonchalant abruptly, as if he was doubting Deirdre. His dark eyes turned cold as well. “Who else do you want to have a child with other than me?”Deirdre wanted to laugh but could not bring herself to laugh after feeling the acid reflux in her throat. Brendan had destroyed her first child and her ability to become a mother, yet he claimed that he would help her seek treatment as if he was doing charity. ‘Does he think that doing this will offset his guilt and the hardships that I’ve endured?’She had to push her tongue against her teeth with great effort to stop herself from asking him to leave, yet her body was still shaking. She looke
Chapter 176 The Child Won’t Be a Bastard
“You only need to comply with my treatment and take the liquid medication.”Deirdre’s empty eyes finally moved once. Her soft lips parted to blurt out, “Leave.”“Ms. McKinnon… You really don’t need to be so sad because you’re going to be pregnant again…”Deirdre stretched out her hand to knock over the medication cup and the warm water. She didn’t feel anything, even though the warm water splashed her hand. She glared at the doctor with bloodshot eyes and said, “I told you to leave! Can you hear me? I won’t take the medication!”The doctor was stunned for a moment but he noticed Deirdre’s hand soon enough. “Your hand is hurt, Ms. McKinnon!”“Leave!”The doctor had no idea what to do against her resistance, so he could only call up Brendan to report the situation. Brendan left an important meeting halfway and found Deirdre sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the house. There was a mess on the rug, and Deirdre’s hand, the one she had used to protect herself, was already swo
