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
Chapter 253 Don’t Wish to Let Her Slip Away
‘Now that there’s a customer, he is also here for her.’“Ah, the pianist, huh? She’s busy with her blind date now.”Brendan stopped flipping through the menu. His dark eyes narrowed when he said, “Blind date?”“Yes.” The waitress tittered. “It’s true that she is good at playing the piano, but she’s hideous and blind. No man would ever be attracted to her, so the cleaning lady kindly arranged a blind date for her. Even though the man is seven or eight years older than her, a woman like her doesn’t have many options.”Coldness flashed past Brendan’s dark eyes. The waitress felt a chill down her spine when she saw Brendan’s gaze and forced a smile. “What happened, sir?”“Where is she?”The waitress was stunned. Then, she pointed at the corner and said, “There.”Deirdre and the man were sitting in a blind corner that one would not see without paying close attention to the area. Brendan shifted his gaze to the man. One could totally describe him as grotesque. He snorted. Even tho
Chapter 254 Mr. Brighthall Is Not in A Good Mood
“I can go if you’re busy, but can I get your number, Ms. McKinnon? If you have anything else that you need help with in the future… I could…”Brendan clenched his fists tightly abruptly, his veins bulging out of his arms. ‘This man still won’t give up hope?’Furious, he clenched his teeth without uttering a word but glared at Deirdre coldly. Deirdre took a deep breath after sensing the immense pressure radiating from Brendan. She caught her breath before she answered with a forced smile, “I’m sorry. I don’t intend to do that, so I won’t hold you back.”Trevor was obviously dejected but he did not seem to mind very much. “I’m older, so it’s very normal that you’re not interested, Ms. McKinnon. I shall go then.”He walked away swiftly, which was an apparent sign that his ego had been hurt. Deirdre appeared to be overwhelmed with emotions. She would not have spoken so straightforwardly had Brendan not been on the scene. “What? Are you still unable to tear yourself away from him?
Chapter 255 Who Did He Think He Is
Sam escorted her to the door when they arrived at the villa’s courtyard and then drove away. Deirdre stretched out her arms to feel for the sofa when she heard the sound of a light being turned on upstairs. She looked in the direction of the second floor abruptly. She was gauging who it was when she realized instantly after sensing the oppressive feeling they emanated. “Come upstairs.”Brendan spoke in an ice-cold tone. He opened the door to his room, and Deirdre braced herself and walked upstairs with stiff movements. She was flung on the bed by force as soon as she entered the room. The man leaned on her, his cold eyes bursting with terrifying evilness. “Deirdre, do you think that you can lord over me recklessly just because I’ve been treating you well over the past few days?” Brendan spoke in an icy tone. He was furious beyond comparison at the thought of the woman’s smile earlier. “I gave you freedom and tolerated you as much as I could, yet you ended up defending a man
