Madame Brighthall let out a self-deprecating smile when she saw Kyran. “You’re my son, but seeing you is even harder than climbing the sky itself. It has almost been a year since I last saw you. You wouldn't have come to see me if I hadn’t gotten into an accident, right? Do you hate me that much?”Her voice was filled with sadness and disappointment. She had been through a lot ever since she sent Deirdre away. Her family had fallen apart, and none of them cared about each other.Kyran’s face was emotionless as he said, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just busy.”“Busy? Are you telling me you’re busy to the point that you can’t even come into the house and see me, although you’re just a few blocks away?”Kyran just kept silent.Madame Brighthall sighed and said, blaming herself, “I thought I was doing you a favor by sending Deirdre away. I thought I was helping you maintain your hard-earned family, but I did not expect that it would be the last straw that broke the camel’s back. So I don’

“I’m jealous of her, but Brendan… Isn’t jealousy a normal thing? I just love you too much. When our emotions blind us, we’re prone to do many stupid things! Besides, I already know that I’ve done something wrong!”Brendan lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with disappointment. He could no longer relate the face of the woman crying in front of him to the woman in the sea of fire. Even until this moment, she was still defending herself. She still did not know her mistake yet.“Just because you’re jealous of her, you hired someone to abduct her? So, does this mean you can simply kill someone and shrug it off as if nothing happens when you’re jealous of them?” Charlene was stunned. “I didn’t kill her! She’s still alive! I didn’t kill her!”Brendan placed his hand on his temples and said, “Charlene, do you think I don’t know what you did?” His voice was thick with rage, and his eyes had turned bloodshot. He looked at the woman in front of her fixedly and continued. “You think

‘There’s no way he could be Kyran. Kyran is still in Germia. It's going to take nearly a day's flight for a round trip alone, so there's no way he can be in the police station.’However, if the figure in front of her was not Kyran, why would he feel so familiar? It was as if she had known the person for a long time…Deirdre’s fingertips trembled as she asked, “Kyran. Is that you?” Brendan’s face was bloodless as she stood opposite her. He did not expect Deirdre to appear in the police station, nor would they run into each other.For a moment, countless thoughts flitted across his head. Was he going to admit that he was Kyran? Or should he just say she had taken him for the wrong person and walk away? At that moment, Charlene broke herself free from her confinement and rushed out of the room. As she ran toward Brendan, she shouted in despair, “Brendan! Brendan! Please give me another chance! Please! I promise I won’t do it ever again!”She threw herself in front of Brendan and D

However, this was all Brendan’s fault. He was beyond redemption, and there was nothing he could do to make her forgive him.“Take that back, Deirdre,” commanded Brendan, his voice cold and his breath raspy. Deirdre scoffed and said, “You brought this to yourself, and now you can’t accept what you did?“If even you can accept the bad deeds you committed, what makes you think that I can forgive you? Brendan, you—“His heart was stung with pain as he listened to her words. Before she could finish her sentence, Brendan lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers, his emotion surging.It was as if he was attempting to stop her from saying something he couldn't accept.Deirdre’s eyes widened in disbelief. The soft lips of the man made her mind go blank. Following that, an endless wave of anger, shame, and disgust overwhelmed her.Driven by her rage, she slapped him across his face, stunning him. The side of his cheek was swollen up, and there were some emotions in his eyes tha

“I have no idea either,” Brendan said in a daze. “I’ll hide it for as long as I can.”He just hoped that day would not come so soon. This way, he would have more time to compensate her. -Deirdre had been staying in the house for the past few days. She didn't even open the door as she was too afraid to do so. Based on her understanding of Brendan, she was confident that he would come for her the next day. However, three days had passed, and nothing had happened. It was so quiet, as if Brendan had never appeared in this city before at all.Deirdre even started to wonder whether it was a dream that she had run into Brendan that day at the police station. However, the scorching sensation when the man’s lips fell on hers and his tenacity kept reminding her that everything was real. Brendan had been there, and they had run into each other. It was just that Brendan might still be bothered by Charlene’s case, so he did not have the luxury of caring about Deirdre. On the fourth da
