After ending the call, Deirdre wiped her face and hailed a cab to head to Glenna’s residence. She looked forward to having someone to deny the answer she had in her heart. When she arrived at the door, she rang the doorbell repeatedly with a shaky hand. After a while, Glenna opened the door drowsily and said, “Who the h*ck ruined my wonderful sleep early in the morning?”She paused for a moment when she saw Deirdre. “Deirdre?”She also noticed Deirdre’s reddened eyes, but before she could respond to the situation, Deirdre had already clutched her arms tightly with reddened eyes that looked like she had just cried.Glenna was stunned instantly. “What’s going on? What happened to you?”Deirdre suppressed her breathing sound with all her might and gnashed her teeth ferociously to force herself to calm down. “Glenna, tell me the truth, please… Who the h*ll is Kyran Reed?”Glenna’s expression changed for a moment, and Deirdre’s eyes reddened even more. She said in a pleading tone,

‘Two hours?’Deirdre felt relieved because there was still time. She stood at the most eye-catching spot and had people striking up conversations with her frequently, yet none of them was Tobey. After checking the time on her phone a few times and numerous people walking past her in succession, Deirdre could not stand it anymore and grabbed someone next to her to ask, “Do you know if the flight from Eastgene’s arrival has been delayed?”“Delayed?” The woman came from Eastgene. She said, “It landed more than half an hour ago.”“What?”Deirdre did not have the time to feel shocked before her phone buzzed. She hastily picked up the call and heard Kyran’s voice. There was the faint sound of breathing that belonged only to Brendan. It was calm, composed, yet unfathomable.“Deirdre, didn’t you say that Tobey has already gotten on a flight?”Deirdre widened her mouth and felt a pricking pain in her throat. She pinched herself ferociously so she could calm down and asked, “What’s goi

“Why would I do that?” Deirdre forced a smile and said, “I was feeling troubled about how to deal with Tobey initially. Now that this has happened, I’m glad I got to resolve the issue perfectly.”She explained softly, “He turned around and claimed that he could not go without me even though he was already boarding the plane today. He claimed he wanted to see you so he could take me with him. I urged him not to do that, but he refused to listen to me. If he were to do that over and over again, it would be troubling indeed.”“Yes. He is being really strange today. I thought that he had already made peace, yet he did not. He told me to set you free in a threatening tone when he met me.” Brendan let out a muffled laugh. “I didn’t understand what he meant and why he wanted me to set you free. Aren’t we in love?”He asked in a carefree tone, but Deirdre felt troubled in her heart. What was Brendan’s intention when he said that? Was he trying to sound out her intention?Or had Brendan n

He sounded like he was asking but also like he was gauging her reaction. Deirdre held back her tears by force, shook her head, and said, “I’m not… I’m just caught by surprise. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant for the rest of my life because of my weak body.”Brendan smiled and said, “You’re blessed, so we can have the chance to have a child together.”Deirdre feigned a smile.The doctor said, “Miss McKinnon’s health is not too good, so she must exercise caution during her pregnancy. She will need to maintain her emotional stability and rest more. The first trimester is going to be risky.”Brendan nodded strenuously and memorized everything that the doctor told them. He sought the doctor’s help to prescribe some health supplements, held her hand, and walked out of the hospital.While getting into the car, Brendan had not forgotten about Deirdre’s unusual reaction. He refused to believe that Deirdre was just caught by surprise, but he did not attempt to pry for mo

Deirdre stood up in preparation to head upstairs to rest, but Glenna seized the opportunity to say, “I’ll keep you company!”Deirdre did not decline Glenna’s offer and headed to the bedroom with Glenna.Glenna’s expression changed drastically as soon as the door was shut. She said hastily, “Deirdre, what is going on? How are you… pregnant with his child!?”“How can I not?” Deirdre’s expression was calm. “We have never used any contraception, and we were trying to conceive at one point. It is only normal for me to get pregnant.”“Yet, this is Brendan’s child!”“You’re right.” Deirdre smiled. “Or else? Am I supposed to abort the baby? Will Brendan allow that?”Deirdre knew that she had lost all her freedom from the moment she found out that Kyran was Brendan.Glenna’s face was ghastly pale. She had thought about many things on the way there and figured she could never be as calm as Deirdre if she were to be in the same position and pretend nothing had happened.She wanted to help
