But now Deirdre didn’t have any reason to force herself to eat something she disliked.“Can’t you understand why I ate it in the past?” Deirdre took a deep breath. “Because at the time, the things you gave me were the most precious to me. Back then, even though the ring that you were forced to buy me didn't fit, I was reluctant to take it off at all. I preferred to put something on the ring and wear it on my finger, but now..." She shuddered as she breathed but didn’t continue. Brendan, however, looked like he had received a blow in the face and had found the answer himself.It was because Deirdre no longer loved him. Hence, she wouldn’t treat whatever he bought as a treasure. The pastry had melted into a puddle of butter on the ground, as she didn’t need to force herself to eat this anymore.Brendan felt a sudden heartache and felt so stuffy that he had difficulty breathing.He didn’t understand why he would feel uncomfortable and furious. However, he clearly felt that something

At that thought, Brendan was having trouble concealing his agitation. He had to calm himself down for a moment before he said, “I don’t have any urgent matters to attend to today, so I’m back home to rest. Don’t overthink the situation.”He ended the call concisely. Charlene clenched her teeth and swept away all the items on the table out of anger after seeing her phone’s dark screen. ‘Deirdre! Deirdre! Screw you, Deirdre!‘If it was not for Deirdre, Brendan and I would have already consummated our relationship yesterday night and perhaps I might have already been pregnant with Brendan’s baby. But Deirdre had to destroy everything for me!’“I want you dead, b*tch!”After venting her anger frantically, Charlene turned around to find the assistant standing at the door, looking embarrassed. A look of surprise flashed past her expression. The assistant suppressed her shock when her eyes met Charlene’s and forced a faint smile. “Are you alright, Ms. McKinney? I heard noise in the of

“You only need to comply with my treatment and take the liquid medication.”Deirdre’s empty eyes finally moved once. Her soft lips parted to blurt out, “Leave.”“Ms. McKinnon… You really don’t need to be so sad because you’re going to be pregnant again…”Deirdre stretched out her hand to knock over the medication cup and the warm water. She didn’t feel anything, even though the warm water splashed her hand. She glared at the doctor with bloodshot eyes and said, “I told you to leave! Can you hear me? I won’t take the medication!”The doctor was stunned for a moment but he noticed Deirdre’s hand soon enough. “Your hand is hurt, Ms. McKinnon!”“Leave!”The doctor had no idea what to do against her resistance, so he could only call up Brendan to report the situation. Brendan left an important meeting halfway and found Deirdre sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the house. There was a mess on the rug, and Deirdre’s hand, the one she had used to protect herself, was already swo

However…A moment later, Charlene’s gaze turned sharp and her lips curled into a smirk in delight. Would Deidre still be so sharp-tongued when she found out about that matter?Charlene looked forward to that very much. Deirdre could not be bothered to beat about the bush anymore, so she turned around and headed upstairs after she finished her sentence. “Hold on, Ms. McKinnon!” Charlene beamed widely and said, “Don’t be in such a rush to leave. There’s something else that I wanted to tell you when I decided to come here today.”“It’s fine.” Deirdre continued to walk up the stairs. Charlene spoke slowly as she said, “Are you sure it’s fine? This is related to your mother.”Deirdre’s footsteps halted to a stop. ‘Mother?’Even though she knew that nothing good would ever come out of Charlene’s mouth, Deirdre still could not help stopping because she wanted information related to her mother so badly. Brendan had always kept a very tight lid on that. Despite speaking to her mo

“You only need to answer me if my mother is still alive or not!” Deirdre was having an emotional breakdown. Her tears seeped into her mouth, and she could taste their bitterness. “Brendan! You promised! You promised me that you’d take care of my mother if I agreed to be Charlene’s scapegoat! If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!”‘If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!’Brendan’s mood was affected, and his breathing pattern changed as well. His voice sounded cold when he said, “No! Ophelia is still well and safe in the hospital! Deirdre, stop believing hearsay and learn to think in every situation. If Ophelia was dead, she’d be dead. Why would I lie to you about that?”Deirdre sobbed soundlessly and shook her head. She was almost hysterical. “I don’t know…”She had no idea why Brendan would need to lie to her, yet she had no choice but to believe the voice clip after everything that had happened recently
