Chapter 245 In Conflict
Brendan’s body tensed up without him realizing it. It had always bothered him that Deirdre might discover the truth, so he immediately inquired, “Where is she? Is she still suspicious?”Maeve shook her head and raised her calloused hands. “I’m lucky that I prepared in advance and dispelled Ms. McKinnon’s doubts at once.”“Great then.” Brendan’s expression was gloomy. “It is apparent that something happened while you were in the changing room. It’s highly possible that some loudmouth talked to her, and I’ll look into this matter. Just do your part of the job.”“Alright.” Maeve was sensible enough to get ready to leave. “Hold on.” Brendan called out to Maeve. He furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Were you by Deirdre’s side at all times while she bought the gifts?”“Yes. How can I help, Mr. Brighthall?”“Did she purchase anything else other than gifts for Sam and Dr. Ginger?”Maeve pondered it for a while before she said in frustration, “I don’t remember so well. I remember walking
Chapter 246 Offer
Deirdre was hesitant. ‘Would I have been unhappy? In the past, I wouldn’t have been happy indeed. ‘Not only would I have been unhappy, but my heart would have bled, and I would have felt suffocated. ‘But how could the all-superior Brendan share the same way of thinking as my past self?’“I’ll think about it.”Deirdre lowered her gaze as she answered. Soon, she heard the pleasant sound of a piano playing next to her. It was apparent that the piano was a high-quality one, and the tune it played was immersive. She could not help feeling tempted. Maeve could see that and said in an exploratory tone, “Would you like to play it, Deirdre?”“Me?” Deirdre was embarrassed. “I can’t. I have very limited skills because I only took lessons for a short while. Besides, I can’t see anymore, so perhaps I have already lost those skills.”“How can you be certain that you can’t do it if you don’t try?”Maeve called over the waiter and asked if they could play the piano. The waiter did not r
Chapter 247 I Bet You Want to Run Away, Right
’Oh, right. Brendan…’Deirdre’s eyes were filled with disappointment, as she knew that Brendan would never agree to that. Maeve’s heart melted with pity when she saw how dejected Deirdre was. “Deirdre, isn’t it nice to stay in the villa? Why do you want to get a job so badly?”“I suppose it’s because I need the slightest sense of recognition and I want to feel needed by the world?” Deirdre said in a self-mocking tone. “Plus, I can’t keep depending on someone else to provide for me. If I perform well at this job, it will signify that I could survive somewhere else from now on. In case… In case you need help, I will be able to fork out money for you without relying on Brendan.”Maeve was surprised to learn that Deirdre wished to be independent. She found it hard to imagine that a woman who was almost incapable of living independently would think like that. She realized that Deirdre wanted to rely on herself if she could instead of being content with her current life. At that ver
Chapter 248 She Plays the Piano Beautifully
“I can give you money if that is what you want, and the villa has never treated you shabbily if all you want is a place to live. But you still insist on going outside and claim that you’re not trying to run away?”Brendan spoke in a stern voice. He got up from the chair, moved closer to Deirdre, and clutched her shoulders. “Deirdre, I spoiled you by letting you go outside in the past few days and you’ve become wildly ambitious. Now you think you’re strong enough to leave?”Deirdre was pinned against the door and felt deeply powerless when she heard Brendan’s furious remark. “Brendan, I’m a living human being. Don’t I even have the right to go and get a job?”“You have to be capable of taking care of yourself if you want to go out and get a job. Could you live through the winter out there without me? I’m afraid no one would know even if you froze to death out there!”Brendan had initially intended to tell Deirdre that the outside world would never tolerate a blind person, yet his re
Chapter 249 Bought Him a Gift as Well
“I’ve never seen Ms. McKinnon being so lively. I believe that you will certainly be pleasantly surprised if you see her perform one day. You want to give Ms. McKinnon a reason to live. I can see that Ms. McKinnon loves to play the piano deeply. Just give her a chance to do that and perhaps it will become the gleam of hope she needs to hang on to life.”Brendan shifted his gaze to Maeve’s face, his expression emotional and his flawless, gorgeous face overwhelmed with complicated emotions at that very moment. “So you’re implying that I should agree to her suggestion, right?”Maeve smiled. “I’m only working for you, Mr. Brighthall. Other than performing my job with great effort, there’s nothing else that I’m trying to do here. I’m only telling you what I can see, Mr. Brighthall.”She adjusted the scarf she had wrapped around her body. “You stay here for the night, Mr. Brighthall. I’ll sleep in the guestroom.”Upon saying that, Maeve began to walk away. Then, she stopped halfway and
Chapter 250 Is He Your Boyfriend
She had bought him this gift at the very least. Brendan wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm the burning sensation in his chest yet he realized that his hand was shaking. He grasped his hand, the one that was holding the cufflinks, with his other hand and got up to leave after a while. He pulled out his phone to make a call. “Help me look into the Oak restaurant to see if there’s anything fishy about it.”…Deirdre had lost track of time by the time she opened her eyes and saw that the other side of the bed was still neat. She removed the blanket and walked out of the room just in time to bump into Maeve. “You’re awake? What happened? Why are you in such a rush?”“Nothing happened.” Deirdre calmed down. She had assumed that Brendan would get rid of Ophelia since she had offended him yesterday. “Why didn’t you sleep in the room yesterday, mother?”“Ah.” Maeve answered casually, “I felt sick and I was afraid that it might be contagious, so I slept in the other room.”She chan
Chapter 251 Courtesy Demands Reciprocity
She answered, “He’s my cousin.”The waitress found Deirdre’s answer reasonable. She wrapped her arm around Deirdre’s arm and said, “Does this cousin of yours have a girlfriend? Do set me up with him.”“He does,” Deirdre answered smilingly, afraid that a different answer would cause Sam trouble. The waitress was disappointed. “The piano is here. Someone will tell you when to start performing. I’ll get a move on if there’s nothing else.”Deirdre did not notice the waitress’ coldness because she was distracted by her love for playing the piano. The piano was much better than the one at the cafe, and she attempted to play it. She received quite a number of compliments after a day. She smiled more, and her expression became lively. Sam was distracted by the sight of her and only recovered from the surprise after a while and took Deirdre back to the villa. She asked before she headed upstairs, “Sam, is the light in Brendan’s study still on?”“Yes, it’s on.”Deirdre clenched her fi
Chapter 252 Blind Date
“They are cheap.” Deirdre was at a loss for words. She felt as if she was choking on something in her throat. “You’re only going to degrade your status when you wear them.”“That is precisely why you refused to give them to me, right?”Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly. Brendan got up from his seat and wiped away Deirdre’s tears with his hand. He leaned closer to her and said in a hoarse voice, “Deirdre, a person of my status would never care about false things like this. The value of the cufflinks could never affect my status. I acknowledge that I wouldn’t be attracted to these cufflinks normally, but they are highly valuable now because you gave them to me.”When he was done, he kissed her lips. Both of them were burning with emotions. Deirdre’s hands were tightly clasped, her body was tense, and she felt a wisp of gentle affection in her heart. …In the next few days, Deirdre became more and more familiar with the work at the restaurant and she also formed a friendly relatio
