Was Deirdre so stupid in Brendan's eyes that she couldn't even tell if two people were hugging each other?Brendan was flabbergasted for a moment. His brows were slightly frowned, and his handsome face was tense. He felt dizzy and suffocated under the throbbing headache."Deirdre, don't be so unreasonable."Deirdre paused and then laughed, but there was no joy in her eyes."I'm sorry, but I love to be unreasonable. I just like to make trouble for no reason. Since you don't like it, then there's no need for me to continue being an eyesore here. Go ahead."She turned around and went out. Fionn immediately chased after her. "Ms. McKinnon!"Brendan was about to follow her, but his vision went dark, and he fell down on the sofa and passed out.Just then, Deirdre walked out of the room quickly, her body still trembling with anger. Fionn followed behind her, but he was completely stunned. It was undeniable that Brendan loved Deirdre from the bottom of his heart, which he had witnessed
All the frustration and helplessness just now had already vanished from her face. Fionn seriously suspected Deirdre had tricked him, but he still nodded. "Really."Deirdre packed her luggage as quickly as possible, and when she got her phone, she took a deep breath. "Let's go."After getting into Fionn's car, Deirdre said, "Fionn, do you have a suitable place for me to live at the moment? I want to have a good rest and clear my mind."Brendan would come to find her if she went to any hotel. Only the accommodation arranged by Fionn was relatively safe."A suitable place to live?" Fionn thought for a moment, but he couldn't find a good solution for a while.Deirdre stared at him for a while, then tentatively said, "Your house has two rooms, right?"Fionn was taken aback, and he immediately stammered, "M-Ms. McKinnon, you want to stay at my house? This is impossible! If Mr. Brighthall finds out, he will definitely kill me!"Deirdre lowered her eyes slightly. "What should I do then?
Indeed, Brendan saw that Emily's fair face was red and swollen.He didn't care about Emily. Instead, his mind was full of Deirdre, who had found out about this, and his heart became uneasy. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly opened the door and went out."Deirdre!"After pushing open the door, Brendan was stunned. The bed was empty, and Deirdre's change of clothes had disappeared from the closet.He suddenly turned pale.She left?This was Eastgene, a place she was unfamiliar with. She would rather leave without hesitation than give him a chance to explain?Emily also followed behind him. Upon seeing the empty room, the corners of her lips raised and then lowered. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Why isn't Ms. McKinnon in the room? Could it be that she was too angry yesterday and ran away?"Ran away?This word stabbed Brendan's heart like a thorn. His eyes turned red as he rushed out of the room and went downstairs to the front desk."You mean Ms. McKinnon?
"Deirdre won't agree."On the one hand, Brendan was afraid of his uncontrollable state.On the other hand, he was concerned about what Deirdre would feel. "She was already so furious that she left after only seeing us in the same room. How can she accept this...""Ms. McKinnon indeed hates me, but is that really more important than your health, Mr. Brighthall?" Emily tried to persuade him softly. "What's more, as long as you tell Ms. McKinnon clearly, I believe she will agree for your sake."Brendan had mixed emotions. "Let me think about it again. The most urgent thing now is to find Deirdre."He found that man's figure somewhat familiar but couldn't remember who it was for a while. At this time, the staff who came to clean up the mess saw the contents of the screen at a glance."Isn't this Mr. Fionn? When he came yesterday, I even greeted him." …As soon as Fionn came out of the company, he met Brendan, who was full of hostility. He trembled in fear and wanted to cry, but
Fionn was very surprised. "Of course I was there. I was at the door, and I saw clearly what happened!""Since you saw it clearly, you should know that Deirdre wouldn't listen to my explanation."Fionn had an indescribable expression. "Mr. Brighthall, what are you talking about? At that time, you clearly—""Mr. Brighthall." Emily suddenly appeared from a nearby store. She walked up to Brendan while carrying a bunch of things in her hand. "We should go. Time is running out."Fionn was stunned that Brendan was still with Emily!Brendan nodded obediently and said to Fionn, "Take care of Deirdre. When her anger subsides, it'll be time for me to pick her up."With that, Brendan and Emily stopped the car and left, leaving Fionn standing there alone with mixed feelings. His lover was pregnant, yet Brendan didn't pick her up immediately to apologize but continued to spend time with that woman.Could it be that Brendan had changed? Had he started cheating? Upon thinking of that, Fionn's e
That was too hurtful. Fionn hesitated, not knowing how to answer. However, Deirdre immediately had her answer."He came to see you, didn't he? But he plans to come to see me after some time?"Fionn squeezed out a smile and praised her, "Ms. McKinnon, you are really smart!"After complimenting her, he wished he could slap himself twice. Wasn't he basically agreeing to what Deirdre said?Deirdre paused, then she smiled with a lonely gaze. "Sure enough."Fionn hurriedly said, "Ms. McKinnon! Mr. Brighthall is just afraid that he will make you even angrier if he comes to see you now, so he wants to wait until you have almost calmed down before apologizing."Deirdre pursed her lips. "Fionn, you don't need to speak for him. I know exactly what kind of person he is. If he thought it was his fault, he would have come to apologize a long time ago. Now it's obvious that he thinks I'm just being unreasonable."When she said this, she lost her appetite. Nothing good happened every time Emily
Deirdre kept her head lowered and appeared to be embarrassed. "Is the situation that big of a deal already?""Not really," Laura said in a comforting tone. "I was at the company's entrance when I saw a beautiful woman by Mr. Brighthall's side. Their actions were intimate, yet you were nowhere to be seen.""What?" Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows tightly. She was really surprised that it happened for real this time. "Did you mention that Brendan was with that woman?"Laura stared at Deirdre's expression and was very pleased by Deirdre's sorrow."Yes, the woman walked out of the shopping mall with shopping bags in her hands. Hence, I speculated that Mr. Brighthall went on a shopping spree with that woman and asked about you from Fionn while he was at it…"Deirdre took a step back in a daze, and her initially pale face turned ghastly pale. She clenched her fists and inhaled a deep breath. Laura heaved a sigh. "I really can't bear to see it anymore. I heard from Decky about your stor
Deirdre raised her head in surprise and saw Declan's gentle expression. "Half of the reason you ended up with Brendan is due to my help. If Brendan is having an affair during your pregnancy, as Laura mentioned, I won't take his side even if I'm his best friend."He did not show any sign of defending Brendan in his gaze. Deirdre had mixed feelings in her heart and wondered if this man was still the Declan she knew…"Thank you, Mr. King.""You don't have to thank me. We're friends. Go inside. I've assigned the maid to set up a room for you."Deirdre followed them into the house. The maid was still bustling in the kitchen and came outside while wiping her hands on her apron after noticing the commotion. "Mr. King, Mrs. King, you're home. Ms. King should be home soon too. I shall prepare the last dinner course first so Ms. King can eat as soon as she's home.""Alright."Laura nodded and helped Declan to remove his tie. They chatted about work. Deirdre felt her way to the sofa and s
