Chapter 694

Chapter 694 Under Someone’s Spell?

Before Brendan could say anything, Deirdre said smilingly, “Perhaps I might listen to the reason you didn’t come home late at night, but you need not explain about your relationship with the woman.”

Brendan felt his heart racing, and the panic in his speech could not be concealed when he said, “Deirdre?”

‘That is because it’s unnecessary,” Deirdre answered swiftly. Her gaze was gentle as usual when she said, “I trust you, and I trust that your relationship with any other person is pure. I trust that you won’t cheat on me or betray our relationship. Hence, I’m not going to indulge in wild conjectures, and you don’t need to be anxious about that.” i

Brendan stood in the same spot in a daze. He had never expected the situation to turn out like this. In fact, he remembered feeling an unbearable burning sensation in his chest when he was driving here.

He was afraid that Deirdre would indulge in wild conjectures, that she would get in a conflict with him and hate him.

Countless possible scenarios went through his mind, but he was only afraid that she would be utterly disappointed in him and that he would be unable to salvage their relationship. As a result, he found out that she trusted him without any reservation all this while…

It was precisely due to the trust that she would not question him on the woman’s identity with tears running down her face or become hysterical. On the contrary, she cared even more about him not having warm food served to him after coming home late.

Brendan hugged her in his arms tightly in a state of emotional turmoil. He was so overwhelmed that he could not help feeling like crying despite being a man.

“Deirdre, how have I ever deserved such love…”

He was supposed to be guilty of a crime for which even death was not enough for him to atone, and he deserved to live the rest of his life in pain and agony. He did not have the right and did not deserve her most sublime love.

It was his selfishness and desire to possess her that resulted in the current situation, yet she trusted him wholeheartedly.

Deirdre felt something warm spreading on her shoulder, and she could not refrain from asking, “Are you crying, Kyran?”

“No.”

She smiled, raised her head, and said, “It’s me who should say, ‘How have I ever deserved such love’. My world was all dark initially with my mother’s passing while I was hurt by the person I deeply loved. I lost the will to live, and it was you who saved me. You made me gradually learn to live for myself, and it’s my honor to meet you.”

Brendan felt an ineffable feeling in his heart, and he could only hug Deirdre tightly. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Deirdre could not stand it anymore after he was done having dinner and dozed off with her head leaning on his shoulder.

With gentle movements, Brendan sent her back to the room and covered a blanket over her cautiously. He could not bear to part with her and sat by her bedside to watch her calm, sleeping state.

She would always completely let down her guard when she was with him, making him feel wholeheartedly loved. On the other hand, Brendan did not know how long he could last in this love.

He leaned over slowly and planted a kiss on the woman’s lips in the end before getting up and leaving.

When he shut the door, his phone rang. He pulled out his phone and checked the caller ID before picking up the call.

Declan said, “You’re finally picking up your phone. I was under the assumption that you don’t want to be my friend anymore.”

Declan had made a few calls to him when Brendan was driving there. He did not have time to pick up Declan’s calls because he was fixated on thinking about Deirdre at home, fearing that she would do something foolish.

“I’m sorry.”

“Sorry?” Declan kept quiet for a moment before he stopped joking around.” What’s going on with you? Are you under someone’s spell or something?”

“Sort of.”

It had been a long time since he had heard Brendan being so depressed.

The only time Brendan behaved this way was when Deirdre went missing after drowning in the sea. He had been so depressed that he refused to take care of his health. However, Deirdre was with him, and they would travel afar in one month. Why would Brendan still be depressed now?
