“Apologize?” Deirdre thought she had misheard and was stupefied. “How come?”

Eilis had the same doubt as well. “I was wondering the same. Given Mrs. Boebert's personality, would she be polite if she didn't come to make a scene? To think that she would come over to apologize? She also brought a bag of jujube. She wanted to say sorry to you personally, but I told her you were busy and sent her away.”

Deirdre frowned heavily. “Did she say anything else?”

“No. Let me ask later.” While putting the bag of jujube away, Eilis said, “Anyway, this it’s just in time for this item to be delivered. I’ll cook some jujube porridge for you today.”

“Okay.”

Deirdre nodded. Following that, she returned to her room, freshened up, and made the bed. When she finally left the room, Eilis had left—only the porridge was still cooking in the pot.

Smelling the fragrance was already sweet, Deirdre carefully groped for the switch. As soon as she managed to turn off the fire, Eilis rushed over. “Deirdre, do y

    Kyran’s pitch-black eyes were locked on Deirdre’s face. The tip of her nose reddened from the cold as she had walked all the way here.Perhaps it was because of her indifferent attitude yesterday, or perhaps it was because she had doubts about who Kyran really was that she could no longer smile defenselessly.Anyway, when she recollected herself, she heard a voice from Kyran's phone. “It's too cold out here. Let's go in.”Deirdre nodded and reached out to the wall.Kyran followed so that she could hold onto his sleeve. “Just follow me.”“Okay.”Deirdre lowered her head. They met many people on their way, such as the constructors, workers, and villagers.A few who were familiar with Kyran began to pull his leg. “Mr. Reed, you’ve got yourself a wifey, haven’t you?”“That’s why you always refuse when I try to introduce you to some girls. It turns out that you already have one.”“For the two of you walking one after the other, both of you look like a good match.”Embarrassed, Dei

    Deirdre clearly knew that she wasn’t attractive enough.Taking a deep breath, Deirdre said, “Mr. Reed, can you remember yesterday when we had dinner together? I was sitting beside you when I picked up a pastry. You knocked that pastry out of the blue and took the whole plate away. M-May I know why you did that? C-Can you explain it?”Kyran fell silent and didn’t move.Deirdre frowned, feeling more uneasy. “M-Mr. Reed?”Finally, Kyran responded, “Must I say it out?”“Yes.” Deirdre bit her lip. She insisted on an answer because she had been tortured for a night just because of it.Kyran seemed to have sighed, but in her ears, the exhalation seemed a little heavier.Following that, he began to type.“Those pastries were leftovers.”Deirdre was shocked. “What?”Kyran continued. “I saw a waiter take that plate out of a room while cleaning up in another room. That plate later turned out to be placed before you. It was obvious that the hotel took the opportunity to send over the lef

    Kyran stopped typing but grabbed Deirdre’s hand directly.His hand was very broad. Unlike that man’s chilly hands, Kyran's hand was very hot. It was so hot that the heat would burn the skin.Deirdre trembled unconsciously. She then felt that Kyran brought her hand toward himself little by little and gradually approached.She heard him roll up his shirt before slowly putting her palm on his chest.It happened to be the location where his heart was. When Deirdre felt the warmth and beating heart, she blushed and unconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.Kyran held her hand tighter, all the way down to the waist.Following that, Kyran released her hand and just dragged his shirt upwards. It seemed to be telling Deirdre that she could touch wherever she wished.Deirdre was blushing as red as a tomato.She warned herself repeatedly that this was only to verify Kyran's identity. But because she couldn't see it, everything—the man’s rhythmic breathing, the pleasant smell, and the tex

    Kyran ignored Declan and turned his face to Deirdre, asking, “Are you done?”His chest was still left exposed to the air.Deirdre's ears were burning hot. Even though she couldn't see anything, she spun her head to the other side. "It's done." Kyran pulled his shirt down and buttoned it up again. After that, he typed and asked, "Did that friend of yours look a lot like me?"Deirdre was stunned for a moment, and the light in her eyes dimmed. “Yeah, but there’s still a slight difference between you and him.”“What kind of person is he?”‘What kind of person is he?’He was domineering, cold-blooded, and heartless. When Brendan's face appeared in Deirdre's mind, he would always look at her with a condescending and icy gaze.When she gave it a second thought, Kyran and Brendan were two completely different people. Something must have gone wrong in her head that she thought they were similar to each other.“I’ve forgotten about it.” The last thing Deirdre wanted was to recall anyth

    Deirdre froze for a moment when Kyran did the same thing. However, she soon snapped herself back to reality by shaking her head. ‘Why am I thinking of him again? It isn’t that Brendan is the only man in this world who would do that.’The snow was getting heavier as they moved forward, and small piles of snow were on their shoulders. Deirdre did not know if it was because Kyran was holding her hand that she did not feel that cold.When they arrived at the door, Kyran stopped and typed on his phone, “We’re here.”Deirdre patted the snow on her body and said, “Thank you.” She went forward to open the gate, but Kyran kept standing still. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Mr. Reed, do you want to come in and have a cup of tea?”“Maybe next time,” Kyran quickly typed a few words on his phone. After that, he thought for a while and asked, “Didn't you ask me if I had something to say to you last night?“Yes, I indeed had something to say to you, but let's talk when we meet next t

    “Can you give us a lift?” Eilis asked, “We’re going to town to buy some winter clothes for Deirdre.”“Sure,” said Declan. However, when he looked at his car, he suddenly said, “But my car is fully occupied now. What about you go ask Kyran? He’s over there.”“Mr. Reed?” Eilis hesitated for a moment. She no longer held any hostility toward Kyran, but she was not very familiar with him. “I’m worried that he might not want to give us a lift.”“Oh, don’t worry about that. I’m sure he will,” said Declan. “We're all family. I'm sure he'll be happy to help out.”“Alright then.”Eilis grabbed Deirdre, and they walked toward Kyran’s car. She knocked on the window, and the window was rolled down, revealing Kyran’s perfectly chiseled face.He glanced at Eilis before focusing on Deirdre.Eilis froze for a moment and said, “Mr. Reed, Deirdre and I want to go to the town to buy some clothes. Can you give us a ride?”Kyran observed Deirdre. Apparently, the shirt Deirdre was wearing right now d

    “Stop teasing me, Madame Russell…” said Deirdre, her face turning red with embarrassment as she bit her lower lips.Suddenly, the car stopped again, and a mechanical voice rang out. “We’ve arrived.”“Thank you so much, Mr. Reed,” Eilis said as she hastily opened the door. She did not know why, but she felt suffocated when staying in the car with Kyran. He had set his jaw tightly throughout the way, and it seemed to her that he was kind of unhappy. Suddenly, she realized something. She went to the back of the car and helped Deirdre get out of the car. Kyran asked through his phone, “How are you going back later?”Deirdre replied, “There will be a bus trip to Alnwick at 5:00 p.m.”“At five? That’s too late.” Kyran frowned. Seeing that there was still some time left before 5:00 p.m., he continued. “I don’t have anything to do now, so I’ll go with you guys. After that, I’ll send you back.”Deirdre said, “You don’t have to do that—”Before she could finish her sentence, Kyran interr

    When Deirdre was putting the clothes back, Eilis came over and asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t like them?”Deirdre lowered her voice and said, “Let’s go to another place.” “Why? Tobey told me to bring you to this store. He said that the winter clothes in this store are the best in town,” said Eilis. Suddenly, she realized something and chuckled. “You don’t have to worry about the price. Tobey just transferred 3,000 dollars to me. He told me to use the money to buy clothes for you, so I have to do as I’m instructed.”When Eilis dragged Deirdre over to the counter, the shopkeeper said, “That man over there has already paid for the clothes. Do you need a bag? Otherwise, you can leave us your address, and we'll deliver them to you.”Eilis and Deirdre were stunned, especially the latter. She already felt they had troubled Kyran too much when he sent them to the town. She did not expect him to pay for her clothes at all and did not know what to do now. “How much did he pay?” asked De

    "Where is she?"Brendan stared at him, utterly surprised. Sean's voice trembled a bit, but his eyes held a clear and hopeful gaze.Brendan finally calmed down and looked behind him. "There, that's your mother."This was the first time Sean had spoken. Deirdre felt her mind buzzing. When she snapped back to reality, she extended her hand. "Sean, come here."Sean's eyes held gentle amazement. He was intelligent—perhaps he had sensed it on the way there. Thus, his feelings were a blend of happiness and satisfaction.He felt joy that Deirdre was going to be his mother.Being a kid, he took a few steps but couldn't stop his tears, holding onto Deirdre firmly.Deirdre suppressed her own urge to cry and crouched down, wiping away his tears.

    "I was too young back then, still sulking with my father," Brendan replied after recalling his childhood.Arthur chuckled. "Kids will be kids, after all. Besides, your father was an excellent businessman, and you've followed in his footsteps. I've heard about your impressive success with the business in Neve. You're truly talented. With the Parkers under your control, I can finally relax." Brendan thought it was just praise from an elder. He was about to give a humble response when he got surprised by the rest of the statement. This made him freeze in place."The Parkers?" Deirdre was equally surprised."What's wrong?" Arthur beamed. "Don't you both already have children? Although you've divorced, your relationship is still strong. Don't tell me there's no thought of remarriage?""Remarriage? It's not the right time yet." Deirdre blushed from the teasing."It'll come eventually. If that's the case, then you are both part of the Parkers now. You're my only daughter, and he's my s

    Beneath the envelope lay the evidence. Deirdre stared at it for a long time, with Brendan by her side, offering silent support.The next day, they boarded a plane back to Southedge. Within three days, news of the top political figure's downfall due to corruption spread like wildfire throughout Southedge, even captivating the interest of other cities.Upon learning the full story in his study, Arthur's aging face was stained with tears of regret. "If only I had known sooner... I wouldn't have let your mother leave like that."Deirdre lowered her gaze and handed the letter to Arthur. "My mother explains in the letter that her departure was a voluntary sacrifice to protect everyone. She never blamed you."Arthur gazed at the letter, struggling to find the right words.Deirdre left silently, shutting the door.-Ryker was also brought to the police station. Under Sterling's methods, he confessed to the murders. Emily faced the same outcome.All of them waited for their trials.-

    The distance from Southedge to Village Alnwick was immense, yet Brendan displayed unwavering resolve."Then let's depart today," he said.As Deirdre bid farewell to Arthur, an unexpected glimmer of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Visiting your mother's grave, huh? Okay, go ahead. Take care of yourself, don't overexert.""Yes," Deirdre replied. Faced with Arthur's hesitant gaze, she felt compelled to add, "Dad, I'll be back."Arthur met Deirdre's gaze, hope rekindling in his eyes.Deirdre softly sighed. "You're my father, my family. Of course, I'll return." "Really? You mean it?" Arthur's excitement made his hands tremble slightly. He held onto Deirdre as if wanting to convey something, but all that emerged was a murmur, "Then please return early... Come back as soon as you can...""Sure. I have a friend coming over later today. Take care of him. Oh, and my boyfriend is here, too. Don't worry about the specifics. I'll explain everything upon my return."As she stepped out, Bren

    "Brendan Brighthall?" Ryker wiped away his own nosebleed. "How did you manage to come from Neve? Didn't I ask Emily to keep an eye on you? That useless fool who can't even accomplish simple tasks.""Choosing to control minds with drugs all along, you should have anticipated this outcome." Brendan acted roughly. As he got up, he took the key from Ryker and placed Ryker on a chair.Deirdre clenched Brendan's sleeve tightly. Sensing her tension, Brendan embraced her to calm her down."It's okay. I'm sorry for coming back so late, making you go through this.""It's not your fault. Your timely arrival saved me from further trouble. It's my own foolishness... I let him find something to use against me," Deirdre said, shaking her head weakly.Brendan frowned, cupping Deirdre's face. "He wasn't someone easily deceived, to begin with. You've done well. I'm the one who brought you into this danger, which is unforgivable."Brendan's dark eyes were filled with intense emotions. He had arrive

    Deirdre hugged Ryker, resting her head on his chest as he patted her back. "By the way, you're not curious about where I went after I left early this morning?"Deirdre realized the hidden meaning behind Ryker's words, retreated from Ryker's embrace little by little, and looked at him.Ryker's eyes, as enigmatic as ever, held a clarity that seemed to pierce through everything. "I went to the hospital."He didn't wait for Deirdre to respond. "Because I was curious why I was so sleepy last night for no reason. Any ordinary person might chalk it up to exhaustion. But I know my body too well. You drugged me."Deirdre felt a sudden chill running down her spine.Ryker took a step forward casually, but his eyes were full of killing intent. "I underestimated you, Deirdre. Your acting skills are far more impressive than I imagined. You nearly had me fooled. You deserve an Oscar. What a pity that you're now in my hands."Deirdre retreated abruptly, but she found a cold wall barring her esca

    Deirdre was momentarily stunned as she watched Arthur search around the study. Eventually, he uncovered a rusty key from a drawer.Arthur raised the key. "Is this what your mother desired?"Deirdre's mind raced, thoughts swirling. "Is this from my mother?"A hint of disappointment shadowed Arthur's eyes as he nodded. "This is the only thing she left me before she departed. She didn't explain why. She just made me promise to keep this key and never search for her."Although I agreed, the thought of it weighed heavily on me. So, I hid the key in a corner of the drawer instead of treating it like any other possession. In hindsight, I shouldn't have made that promise. I shouldn't have let her go alone."Deirdre's voice wavered, confusion evident. But as realization dawned, her heart raced. "Can you give me the key?"Arthur earnestly nodded, his expression solemn. "This belongs to your mother. I'm willing to give it to you whenever you're ready. To be honest, I'm relieved to pass it o

    The butler nodded and guided Deirdre to the study's door. Gathering her emotions, she pushed it open.Arthur's attention was on some documents, but the door's creak made him look up. He met Deirdre's gaze, causing a subtle flicker of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes."Deirdre..." He set aside the file. "Did you just wake up? Hungry? I'll have the kitchen prepare something."Deirdre shook her head, closing the door gently."Not hungry. I came to talk.""Everything okay?" Concern colored Arthur's expression. Though he seemed worried she might leave, he tried to hide it. "Go ahead. I'm with you."Deirdre found his reaction slightly amusing. "I'm not leaving."A spark returned to Arthur's eyes. "Then what's up?"As Deirdre grew more serious, she said, "I came to Southedge not just for a visit. I want to know if my mother left something with you before she passed. Something significant.""Left something?" Arthur was puzzled. "She left several things. Which one do you mean?"De

    Brendan's eyes held a hint of pity as he spoke hesitantly. "Your mother took that item away."He gently touched Deirdre's face. "That man kidnapped your mother years ago. I don't know what happened during that time. Maybe he hurt your mother and wanted to keep her forcibly. Eventually, your mother found a chance to escape back to your father with the man's item."She left suddenly while pregnant with you, not out of hatred for your father, but to protect you. Now, that person is unsure if your mother or Arthur has the item. Thus, he aimed to kidnap both you and your father, taking his time to retrieve them."Deirdre's mind was overwhelmed, flooded with information that threatened to drown her. This unexpected revelation left her in disbelief.'My mother left my father because of me? And the mastermind behind Ryker is responsible for my mother's kidnapping?'"So that item holds significant importance for this person, enough to bring him down, right?"
