Kyran’s face turned white. “Get back to Neve first.”He couldn’t ignore it when Madame Brighthall had fallen ill.Sam nodded and started driving without a word, not even asking anything about Deirdre.-That night, Deirdre couldn’t sleep well.She didn’t know whether it was because of Kyran’s departure, but she dreamed of Brendan again for the first time in a while.In the dream, Brendan was as indifferent as before. He grabbed her neck tightly, asking her why she accused Charlene.Struggling, she replied with her eyes reddened, “It’s your Charlene who wanted to kill me! Brendan Brighthall, you are so blind that you can’t even see the truth lies before you!”“She is the only one I acknowledge as my woman. She kidnapped you because you deserve it! As for your life and death, what does it have to do with me? I can’t let you win this time. I’ll make sure you lose the lawsuit!” said Brendan condescendingly.Deirdre woke up, still experiencing the lingering feeling of suffocation i
Deirdre plucked up her courage to call that phone number, which was answered in a few seconds. She quickly introduced herself, “Hello, I’m Deirdre McKinnon.”“Hello, Miss McKinnon, I’m Bell. Mr. King said you have something about a case to ask me. May I know what it is?”It was inconvenient for Deirdre to get straight to the point, so she inquired about Charlene's matter as a cover before getting to the point. "Mr. Bell, I would like to ask, is there any quick way to file a divorce without the consent of the man?”“Divorce?” Mr. Bell was stunned. It was totally out of the topic that he needed a few seconds to recover his senses. “It depends on the situation. Generally, if the man disagrees, he needs to file a lawsuit in court. As for filing for divorce, of course, a reason is also needed.”“A reason?”“Behavior such as domestic violence, abuse, taking on a bad habit, or cheating can all be grounds for litigation.”“Do any of these need proof?”Mr. Bell chuckled. “That’s for sure
Kyran was startled and couldn’t help but curl his lips to laugh at himself. “Really?”"Yeah, silly." Deirdre nestled on the sofa and smiled to herself for a while before she rose to her feet with a pillow in her arms. "Did you not have time to rest when you arrived in Germia?"“Yes.” Kyran closed his eyes and put his hands on his forehead, looking tired and weak. While sitting on the cold, long chair in the hospital, he felt lonely, as if he was in the wild.It was too quiet in his surroundings, so quiet that he inexplicably felt like listening to Deirdre’s voice. Yet, he couldn’t reach her even after making a few calls. While trying to control his anxiousness because he knew Deirdre didn’t like him to be too jealous, he wanted to know with whom Deirdre was talking.“How’s your father? Has he gotten better?”Kyran’s eyes turned gloomy. “He’s just gotten out of the emergency room.”“Emergency room? How can it be so serious?” Deirdre frowned.“He has a weak heart, but he’s almos
Madame Brighthall let out a self-deprecating smile when she saw Kyran. “You’re my son, but seeing you is even harder than climbing the sky itself. It has almost been a year since I last saw you. You wouldn't have come to see me if I hadn’t gotten into an accident, right? Do you hate me that much?”Her voice was filled with sadness and disappointment. She had been through a lot ever since she sent Deirdre away. Her family had fallen apart, and none of them cared about each other.Kyran’s face was emotionless as he said, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just busy.”“Busy? Are you telling me you’re busy to the point that you can’t even come into the house and see me, although you’re just a few blocks away?”Kyran just kept silent.Madame Brighthall sighed and said, blaming herself, “I thought I was doing you a favor by sending Deirdre away. I thought I was helping you maintain your hard-earned family, but I did not expect that it would be the last straw that broke the camel’s back. So I don’
“I will,” replied Kyran, the expression on his face turning gentle. Suddenly, he thought of something, and a light flashed across his eyes. “I think the same way as well. I’ll find an opportunity and talk to her myself.”-After Deirdre hung up the call, she buried her head into the pillow, and it took her a long while before she finally calmed herself down.She felt a bit sad and thought how good it would be if she could go to Germia with Kyran. It was just that she was in a sensitive position right now. She was another man’s wife, so she could not bring herself to face Kyran’s parents.At present, what she wanted to do the most was to end her marriage with Brendan as soon as possible.Since she could not let Declan know what she was going to do, she only came out of her room in a trench coat after Declan went out in his car the next afternoon. She flagged down a cab and said, “At the police station at Mr. Verm Road, thank you.”Meanwhile, an unwanted guest arrived at the po
“I’m jealous of her, but Brendan… Isn’t jealousy a normal thing? I just love you too much. When our emotions blind us, we’re prone to do many stupid things! Besides, I already know that I’ve done something wrong!”Brendan lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with disappointment. He could no longer relate the face of the woman crying in front of him to the woman in the sea of fire. Even until this moment, she was still defending herself. She still did not know her mistake yet.“Just because you’re jealous of her, you hired someone to abduct her? So, does this mean you can simply kill someone and shrug it off as if nothing happens when you’re jealous of them?” Charlene was stunned. “I didn’t kill her! She’s still alive! I didn’t kill her!”Brendan placed his hand on his temples and said, “Charlene, do you think I don’t know what you did?” His voice was thick with rage, and his eyes had turned bloodshot. He looked at the woman in front of her fixedly and continued. “You think
“Why can’t I do this to you? I’m just letting you have a taste of your own medicine.”Charlene was stunned. Her heart was clutched by fear as she cried out loud, hoping that Brendan could forgive her. “How can you compare our eight-year relationship to hers? We’ve been together for eight years, and she’s just a nobody! Have you forgotten the time we spent together? I just made a little mistake, but Deirdre is safe. Why can't you just forgive me?”“A little mistake?” Brendan frowned deeply. Charlene threw herself in front of Brendan and continued. “I’m sorry, Brendan. I just love you too much and let my jealousy get the best of me. That's why I went crazy on Miss McKinnon. I'll apologize to her and make up for it! So please, Brendan, please don’t give up on me.”Brendan looked at her coldly and moved away when Charlene was about to touch him.Tears streamed down Charlene’s face.Brendan had lost his patience and told her his purpose for coming here. “Are you the one who asked t
‘There’s no way he could be Kyran. Kyran is still in Germia. It's going to take nearly a day's flight for a round trip alone, so there's no way he can be in the police station.’However, if the figure in front of her was not Kyran, why would he feel so familiar? It was as if she had known the person for a long time…Deirdre’s fingertips trembled as she asked, “Kyran. Is that you?” Brendan’s face was bloodless as she stood opposite her. He did not expect Deirdre to appear in the police station, nor would they run into each other.For a moment, countless thoughts flitted across his head. Was he going to admit that he was Kyran? Or should he just say she had taken him for the wrong person and walk away? At that moment, Charlene broke herself free from her confinement and rushed out of the room. As she ran toward Brendan, she shouted in despair, “Brendan! Brendan! Please give me another chance! Please! I promise I won’t do it ever again!”She threw herself in front of Brendan and D
