Chapter 399 I’m Jealous
The man inhaled and said in a regretful tone, “It’s truly a…. You have such beautiful eyes.”Soon afterward, the man said, “Where are you going? Do you need my help to send you to the place you want to go?”“It’s fine.” Deirdre pondered closely and declined his offer. “I am used to this and can go by myself.”“Let me send you. The hospital is crowded. You might get turned around if someone were to knock you over, and you might be unable to tell where you are.”Deirdre was about to decline when she suddenly heard a phone’s mechanical voice coming from ahead of her. “Deirdre.”It was Kyran. Deirdre raised her head abruptly. The man’s arms wrapped around her, and the hug was tightened the next moment to protect her. Kyran seemed to be on guard and exuded hostility. The man did not even have time to react to the situation before Kyran took it upon himself to speak through the phone. “Why did you come back by yourself? I could have come for you.”He seemed to be declaring his poss
Chapter 400 Care About What I Think of You
Deirdre realized that Kyran did not react to her face after they returned to the room. Even though only the upper half of her face was restored, it was very startling to see her current face compared to her previously mangled face. Unexpectedly, Kyran behaved as if he was used to the sight of her.Deirdre was confused about that. After staying in the room for a while, Kyran behaved as if he realized something and asked, “Why are you still wearing the mask?”Deirdre explained softly, “The recovery of my upper face is quite well, but my cheeks are still severely injured. Dr. Engle said that the recovery will be slower and that I will require regular wound dressing. We should be able to see some results in another two weeks or so.”“Alright.”‘Alright? That’s all?’Deirdre could not conceal the disappointment in her eyes. “Kyran, I’ve already sent the staff members to measure and pave the road on the Village Alnwick project. Later—” Declan opened the door and entered the room.
Chapter 401 Happy Dating!
Deirdre’s cheeks burned. If she admitted to it—well, would it not make it seem like she cared a lot about what Kyran thought of her?The end of Kyran’s lips curled. His sincerity bled as he typed, “I’m stoked to hear that you care about what I think.”Deirdre lowered her head, but no amount of searching provided her any good counterargument. “So? Why didn’t you say anything, then? Unless both Mr. Engel and Mr. King were lying…”“Maybe they were, but what about the man who flirted with you? Do you really think he was lying?” Kyran argued, his eyes nailed to the blind woman’s own. They were unfocused and glassy, but her eyes had always been so clear and transparent.He lowered the phone’s volume. “You’ve always been beautiful, Deirdre. I didn’t react back then because—”Silence. His phone stopped speaking for him. Deirdre had not had the time to wonder what had happened when she felt him slowly inching close. She could feel his breath beating on her. She felt a tightening in her c
Chapter 402 I Don’t Want the Ferris Wheel Ride!
’G-Grab Kyran’s arm?’Deirdre lifted her fingertip and realized, belatedly, that she had been sitting this close to him the entire time. She could touch his finger from her end!“You misunderstood, sir. We’re not a couple,” she explained hastily.“Are you sure about that, miss? Because your not-boyfriend has been looking at you with goo-goo eyes the whole time!” The driver teased, laughing. “No need to be shy. I’ve been there. I know what it’s like.”Deirdre froze and suddenly felt a pair of burning gaze landing on her. She lowered her eyes, and suddenly, the man’s fingers walked into hers before depositing a firm, solid object in her palm.Deirdre felt it for a moment before realizing it was a pair of Bluetooth earpieces. Perplexed, she plucked them into her ears and heard Kyran’s mechanical voice, “We’re getting close. Remember to stay close to me.”He had opted to use this method as their means of communication in a crowd, but it also meant that she was the only one who could
Chapter 403 A Chance Meeting with Freya
Brendan had said something similar to her before. He had even put his money where his mouth was, taking her hand and letting it graze the glass as he described where everything was and how beautiful they were.Anxiety swept across Deirdre like a plague. She forced herself to calm down, reining her mind from wilder and wilder imagination. Kyran and Brendan were not the same! They could not be the same person!“No, I’m good. I’m afraid of heights.”Kyran was silent for a moment. Then, he typed, “Okay, so no heights. What about the carousel?”“Mm-hmm.”Kyran held her hand and led her to the line. Nearby, Freya and her friends were munching on some snacks. Her friend sounded incredulous when she asked, “So, you got fired just like that? Because that Kyran Reed guy said so? What an *sshole! Who the h*ll does he think he is? Is he really that big of a hotshot?”“How was I supposed to know? All I know is that even the director treated him like royalty!” Freya snapped and took a big bi
Chapter 404 It Feels Like We’ve Been Together Forever
Despite wearing a mask over half of her face, Freya could tell from Deirdre’s beautiful eyes and her smooth, glowing skin that she was looking at a gorgeous beauty. More importantly, there was no way Deirdre McKinnon, the freak, was this same young woman!Arianne saw it, too. She perused the woman among the line-takers and questioned aloud, “Uh… Is this the freak you mentioned?”“Of course not!” Freya snapped. A flood of shock and anger washed over her. She was shocked to see Kyran seeing another woman and angry that he had only used that ugly freak to reject her advance. She knew it! That freak was a nobody from the start!Kyran had gotten his purchase and returned to the young woman’s side. He shielded her from the crowd’s less gentle pushes with such sweet devotion that Arianne could not stop herself from remarking, “I can’t believe I’m seeing this. Mr. Reed, famous for being reserved and quiet and asocial… Being a sweet, caring gentleman to a woman like that! No way around it,
Chapter 405 Couple Photos
Kyran’s soft and yearning gaze had never once left Deirdre’s face. He brushed messy strands of hair away from her forehead before finally typing, “Yes. Very good.”Deirdre paused and felt belatedly embarrassed. It almost felt as though she was asking for his compliment.“What do you want to play next?” he asked. “I’m all yours.”She was about to suggest something when she heard the snipping sound of a camera’s shutter. She was sensitive to sounds—the sound of a camera, most of all—and immediately turned to the direction of the sound. Kyran followed her gaze and saw a man taking pictures of them. He frowned.The man finally noticed his more outward display of displeasure and realized his mistake. He lowered his camera and began introducing himself, “Oh, I don't mean any offense! I’m a photographer, and my Spidey-Sense just couldn’t overlook the beauty in the way you two interacted and how generally beautiful the two of you are! So… I guess my job persona took hold of me before I k
Chapter 406 Quit It Already
”No trouble, darling! No trouble at all!” replied the man, scratching his head and chuckling to himself. “I should be the one to thank the two of you! There’s no way I’m the only one contributing to pictures this good. The models did at least half of the work in this case! Anyway, I should excuse myself. I hope I get an invitation to your eventual, coming-soon wedding!”He bolted away just like that. Deirdre hardly had the time to explain her relationship with Kyran. Sensing the young man’s burning gaze laser-focused on her neck, she apologized under her breath, “He fled before I could explain. Besides, I don’t think he’d trust me if I told him we aren’t a couple.”“I know. That is why I don’t think there’s anything to explain. I like the ‘misunderstanding’ better.”Kyran’s smile worsened Deirdre’s embarrassment. She was starting to feel a little sick in her stomach, too, and before she knew it, her hand was pressing against her belly. The man caught her action and asked, “Do you
