Brendan said, "That woman was Declan's first love. Now that Cillian is dead, it is only natural for them to be together. After all, Declan still loves her.""No." Deirdre shook her head and said, "If Declan loves that woman, what about Glenna then?""Glenna?" Brendan's eyes showed confusion. "Who is she? Is she related to Declan?"Deirdre was taken aback. "Have you forgotten Glenna?""Is this someone I should remember?" Brendan held his forehead. "Could it be that I knew her? When did it happen?"Deirdre helped him recall. "During the time in Village Alnwick, you met Glenna when you were Kyran, do you remember? She was a friend of Declan's assistant and helped me out so much. She was even the first to notice that you were Kyran."Brendan's face gradually turned pale. He tried to recall, but his brain went blank."It turns out that so many things happened between us. So, I know Glenna?"Deirdre felt uneasy. "What's wrong? You don't remember?""Yeah." Brendan's face turned serio
Brendan forgot about Glenna today, and he wondered… if one day, he would forget himself…-Deirdre notified Sterling on purpose that she would be heading to Eastgene the day after tomorrow.Sterling did not mind, and he prepared the medication for her to bring over."Just take your prescribed medication on time in the next few days of your trip. Remember to exercise more. I'll take you to the hospital to check on the blood clot in your brain when you're back."Deirdre put away the medication. Sterling was meticulous and had prepared a pill box with each dosage properly stored in each compartment. Deirdre did not need to spend any effort to count the pills.Deirdre boarded a flight with Brendan the day after tomorrow. After getting off the plane, Declan came to pick them up in person. He took a glance at Deirdre's growing belly and smiled widely. "When will I be holding my goddaughter?" Brendan replied, "I haven't chosen you as the child's godfather yet.""Your choice doe
"My elder brother forced her to do that against her will, and she couldn't resist him because she would be badly beaten up for doing that. She could only survive by showing obedience and following his order."She has been living in guilt and regret all this time. She doesn't have the courage to get close to me out of fear after a long time, and she can only be herself again after my elder brother's passing."Hence, I don't blame her, but I want to protect her more."Deirdre expressed her hesitation. "How about Glenna then?"The woman's beautiful face flashed past Declan's mind. Soon afterward, he frowned deeply and sounded rather uneasy when he said, "Why are you bringing her up out of nowhere?"Deirdre said, "She's a friend of Fionn, right? Is she attending your wedding?""I didn't invite her." Declan's expression was calm. Deirdre could not help feeling surprised. "Why? I thought you two have always been close?""That was the past." Declan's tone was tainted with a tinge of
Deirdre was still caught in a daze after arriving at the hotel. Brendan wrapped her in his arms and shielded her from the wind while they were waiting for the car ride. “What’s going on? You’ve been spaced out from the time you dropped the glass earlier. What’s on your mind?”Deirdre suppressed her astonishment and said, “When did Cillian pass away?”“Five days ago.”Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows. “Didn’t you say that he was involved in a motor vehicle accident two months ago?”Brendan pushed away the messy hair from her face with a smile. “He was involved in a motor vehicle accident two months ago but didn’t die at the time. He was diagnosed with a persistent vegetative state, and he was put to rest in the Kings’ family home. Laura was tasked to care for him.“However, he didn’t pull through in the end and passed away. However, I think that it is a relief for Cillian in a sense. After all, it would be very hard for him to regain consciousness from his vegetative state, so it
Fionn scratched his head in embarrassment. "I wish that I deserve your compliment. I'm holding more responsibility and taking over more tasks now, so it's only natural that I become more adept at my work."Deirdre smirked and came to realize something. "Is Glenna coming?"You can tell her that I'm here if she is in Eastgene. It's a coincidence that I haven't gotten in touch or met her for a long time."Deirdre made a casual remark but did not hope for Glenna to come because the latter would not feel good to see Declan and Laura getting married. She did not expect that Fionn would say, "How do you know that Glenna is in Eastgene, Ms. McKinnon?" "Is she in Eastgene?" Deirdre was even more astonished. Fionn hastily said, "Don't ever let Mr. King find out about this. If he were to know…If he were to know…"He could not give a reason. Deirdre asked, "Do you know something that is difficult to disclose?"Fionn gave a forced chuckle. "It's not something that is difficult to dis
Fionn felt very troubled in his heart as well. "I'm only speculating! It's just speculation! It's not real!"Deirdre was overwhelmed with emotions. "I don't think that Declan is that kind of person."Brendan chuckled and said, "He is not, indeed. However, Fionn could be right too. I think that only the people involved would know."The car stopped in front of the hotel. Deirdre said to Fionn when she got out of the car, "Can you find an opportunity for me to meet Glenna once?"Fionn said, "I'll attempt to reach out to her. In truth, it has been a long time since I connected with Glenna because she is very secretive.""Thank you for doing this. Please let me know if you have any updates."Fionn said, 'You're welcome' repeatedly. He did not have the time to take them to their room because he was busy. The hotel's staff member guided them to the room. Deirdre lay on the bed on her side. She asked Brendan, "What are your thoughts on today's matter?"Brendan removed his tie with one
Upon saying that, Deirdre looked toward Laura with slight puzzlement in her eyes. "Why did you suddenly bring up Glenna to me, Ms. Smith? Could it be that you know her?"Laura's expression changed ever so slightly. She smiled and said, "I know her, of course. However, we are only acquaintances, but I'm slightly curious about her.""Curious?" Laura said, "I heard about Glenna from Decky, so I'm curious about… how they know each other and became close friends."Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Deirdre said, "Isn't it better for you to ask Mr. King about his close friend? I'm just an outsider, so I won't know any better than the people involved."Laura gave a forced chuckle. "You may not know, but Decky and Ms. Glasser got into a slight conflict. Even though they didn't go to the extent of becoming completely estranged, Decky doesn't wish to hear anything about Ms. Glasser anymore."Deirdre was astounded. "How did that happen?"Laura heaved a sigh. "I'm not too sure e
Deirdre was incredulous. “Glenna? It really is you? I thought that I must have misheard. What brings you here?”Glenna looked around and pulled Deirdre to a deserted corner. She appeared to have mixed feelings.“Deirdre, I heard about you and Brendan getting back together. I’m sorry that I didn’t have the time to visit you in Neve all this time.”Deirdre shook her head. “That is not the point at all. What happened between you and Declan? I heard Fionn that you were almost dating. However, what is going on with Declan and Laura then? Why did you lose contact but suddenly show up at the wedding venue?"All sorts of questions filled her mind. Glenna managed to find joy in adversity somehow. “I don’t know which questions of yours I should answer when you ask so many questions.”“Let’s talk about you and Declan first. What happened between you and him?”Glenna removed her mask and leaned against the counter with a dazed gaze. “Him and me… In truth, it would be very complicated to ta
