Chapter 550 How Well Do You Know About Brendan?
“Let me guess. It’s about Brendan?” asked Declan. Deirdre clenched her fists and closed her eyes. After a while, she replied honestly, “Yes. It’s about him.”“It seems like I hit the jackpot,” said Declan. “What has he done again this time? Did he come to bother you again?”“No. It’s exactly because he didn’t come to disturb me that makes me feel strange. This doesn’t feel like Brendan at all. According to what I know about him, he isn’t someone who’ll give up so easily,” Deirdre said as she lowered her head.She knew Brendan very well, but she was unsure of it now. “Besides…”“Besides what?”Deirdre took a deep breath and continued. “He didn't get Charlene out of detention. Instead, he even gave the police a lot of evidence. I don't understand at all. What is he up to again?” A smile appeared on the corner of Declan’s lips as he said, “I was wondering what you were worrying about. So, this is it.”Deirdre couldn’t help herself and continued. “Don’t you feel it’s strange, M
Chapter 551 How Did You Get In?
“Besides, every piece of evidence points to the fact that Charlene abducted you, so there's no way he would help her. I guess he’s just trying to redeem himself. That’s why he gave the evidence to the police.”Deirdre found the remark to be saddening and amusing. Brendan’s effort was completely worthless. Moreover, his repentance came two years too late. If it came a little earlier, if her mother was still alive, perhaps she could pretend that nothing had happened and live a peaceful life. However, everything had already collapsed, and she did not want Brendan’s repentance anymore. She took a deep breath and lay back on the bed, her painful fingers still tightly clenched. She felt an ineffable feeling of lethargy overpowering her and fell asleep curled up in the bed. She lost count of time until she felt someone touching her fingers. She was awakened forcefully by the unbearable pain. However, she felt a shiver down her spine the next moment. Someone was standing next to
Chapter 552 You Don’t Deserve to Compare Yourself to Him
“That is none of your business!”“How is that none of my business when I’m your husband?” Brendan said in a bitter tone, “I think he’s just a coward who ran away in fear of trouble!”“You have no right to criticize him, Brendan!” It was Deirdre’s first time losing her temper. She exhausted every means to defend her lover. “He is a thousand times better than you! Forget it.”Deirdre suppressed her shakiness and found the situation amusing for no apparent reason. “What’s the point of me taking what someone like you said so seriously? You’ve always lived in your own world! When have you ever cared about others’ feelings? You will never feel that you are at fault!”Brendan stared straight at the woman’s face and felt a wave of pain wash over his chest. The pain was so overwhelming that he bent over and buried his head in the nook of her neck. He said in a hoarse voice, “What if I… know that I’m at fault?”Brendan spoke in a soft voice as if he was consumed by his ego or was not planni
Chapter 553 Go on a Date With Me
‘You don’t deserve to compare yourself to him.’The remark was merciless. It sent a wave of pain through his body like a sharp knife that stabbed into his heart. Yet, he did not even have the excuse to disclose the truth about himself.Kyran was him but not him at the same time.Kyran was the product of his meticulous disguise. He was a robot with forcefully controlled emotions and sexual desires. He was the exact opposite of Brendan.In truth, he wanted Deirdre to accept his true self even more. However, he knew that it was only his silly notion.Brendan’s fists tightened at the sight of the vigilant woman who was near the point of breakdown. A feeling of extreme reluctance was burning in his chest.He could not refrain from saying, “Do you hate me that much?”Deirdre was shaking. She sneered upon hearing that, as if she was poking fun at his question.“I understand now.” Brendan chuckled in a self-mocking way. “That man is all you care about, so you want me to disappear from
Chapter 554 Set Up on a Date in Eastgene
After Declan left, Deirdre stretched out her hand and felt for the business card placed on the bedside table. The business card was made of sturdy materials, just like the man’s mannerisms. The corners of the business card felt so sharp it could cut through skin, and the writing etched onto the card's surface could be felt just by touching it with one's fingers. Brendan had come prepared. He knew she was blind, so he left a business card she could read with her touch.‘Does he think I will agree to his condition?’Filled with boundless rage, Deirdre wished she could throw away the business card. Yet, in the next moment, she was reminded by a voice in her head, “Are you really going to give up on the chance to get a divorce?”If she agreed to his condition, she could be rid of interacting with this man for eternity in exchange.She could travel to Germia with Kyran to have their wedding with peace of mind. She would not be bothered by her past marriage. She knew this was a rare
Chapter 555 It’s Just a Date, Right
Deirdre would not think this way in the past, so it was apparent that Kyran had spoiled her.She could not refrain from making a call to Kyran.The call was picked up after a long time. “Deirdre.”His voice sounded hoarse, as if he had been smoking all night long.Deirdre was momentarily stunned, and she could not help feeling concerned. “Kyran… are you alright?”“I’m alright. Why do you ask?”Deirdre said, “You sound very tired, like you haven’t slept all night.”Kyran paused for a moment before he said, “I haven’t slept all night, indeed.”“Why? Is it because your father’s condition is not so good? Or is it because you have something else happening at work?”Deirdre regretted not going to Germia with Kyran so she could monitor the situation over there.She would not be how she was now, doing nothing at home but feeling anxious. She sounded anxious.Kyran chuckled and comforted her with a gentle voice by saying, “Don’t fret. I’m alright. I’m the caregiver of my father in
Chapter 556 From Now On, I’m Your Husband
“What?”“I’m asking you if your condition involves only a date, right?”Brendan could not refrain from chuckling as if he was making fun of her sensitive emotion. “Or else?”“At night… I’m not going to sleep with you.”The other end of the call was quiet momentarily as soon as she made the remark. Soon afterward, he laughed sarcastically and said, “Are you doing this so you can keep your chastity for the man?”Deirdre shut her eyes tightly. She did not want to quarrel with Brendan on this issue. “I just don’t want to be touched by someone like you.”Brendan was stunned for a moment before he sneered and said, “Someone like me? What kind of person am I?”Deirdre did not answer, and he did not inquire further. He said, “Don’t worry about this, Miss McKinnon. I’ve encountered way too many women who are prettier than you with better bodies. I’m not interested when they push themselves against me, let alone you. We’re just going on a date, and that is all.”He said it in contempt,
Chapter 557 I Want a Divorce
‘Treat him like he’s my husband?’If she had a chance like this in the past, she would be so delighted that she could not sleep all night. She found it cynical now that she heard Brendan’s request and resisted the idea very much in her heart.“What if I don’t?”Brendan’s gaze was still. He walked one step closer to the woman and exhaled warm breath when he spoke, yet the words he spoke were cold. “I will just consider that you wish to continue this relationship willingly, and I’ll come and take you back to Neve when I’m done with my tasks.”“That would be impossible!”Brendan smirked mockingly. “Would you like me to remind you once again? You have a favor to seek from me, Deirdre. It’s you who wants to get a divorce and not me who is forcing you to get it.“You can always turn around and go back. I’ll just pretend that nothing happened today.”‘Go back?’Deirdre’s chest felt so heavy that she was suffocating. ‘If I were to go back, all my previous efforts would be wasted, right
