Brendan glanced at Deirdre’s red lips with desire, raised his head, and greeted, “Aunt McKinnon.”Ophelia said, “I saw both of you hugging each other from upstairs. Have you made up with each other?”“Hmm.” Brendan nodded and held Deirdre’s hand. “I explain everything that happened clearly to Deirdre, so she forgives me.”There was no way to tell Ophelia’s mood from her expression, but she cracked a rigid smile as if she was still infuriated by the incident earlier.“Alright then. I can’t meddle with both of you when you’re in a couple’s quarrel. However, I will never let you off if you do a disservice to Deirdre, even if she forgives you.”Brendan’s expression was extremely sincere when he said, “Yes, Aunt McKinnon. Deirdre is everything to me. I swear that I will never let her endure any injustice, and I won’t allow other women to challenge her place.”Deirdre was stunned for a moment while Ophelia did not comment further. She came to stop Brendan when he was preparing to ent

Brendan pulled back his hand that was holding Deirdre’s hand rapidly soon afterward. Ophelia’s warning from last night came into his mind. “Brendan, if you respect and love Deirdre, stop behaving inappropriately toward her. You haven’t married her, so don’t let her live indecently. This is also very uncomfortable for me, her mother, who is watching.“I won’t stop you anymore when you’re really planning on marrying her to make her your wife. Otherwise, I’m considering what Deirdre means to you in your heart.”Brendan felt extremely troubled but could understand Ophelia’s intention. It was because the situation with Emily yesterday had gone too far. It was already utmost magnanimous of Ophelia not to lose her temper after learning about the false report. He did not wish to continue to disappoint Ophelia in any other way. Hence, he could only bear with it despite his strong urge to wrap his arms around Deirdre. He had to learn to respect Deirdre. Deirdre was caught off g

“I’m not referring to your relationship with Miss McKinnon, but I believe that it should be very difficult for you to go public with the relationship, right?”Emily’s remark reminded Brendan there was nothing he could do to make his relationship with Deirdre go public. He was bound to Emily now. If he were to be seen interacting with Deirdre, the latter would most certainly be under attack, and his reputation, which he had salvaged with great effort, would be affected as well. It was possible that the next step would be what those people wanted him to take. Moreover, Brendan discovered that those people were not just targeting him after Ophelia’s incident. The doubt in Brendan’s eyes faded bit by bit.Emily smiled just as gracefully as she usually did. “Mr. Brighthall, I understand your concerns. An outstanding person of any gender would be noticed by others, let alone someone as exceptional as you. I wasn’t aware of your relationship initially, so I had feelings for you for

“Sure.” Brendan held Deirdre’s fingertips. “I’ll wait for you at home.”Deirdre smiled and headed out with Emily. After leaving the house, Emily teased with a spurious smile, “You seem to have a really close relationship with Mr. Brighthall, Miss McKinnon. This is my first time seeing Mr. Brighthall care so much about a woman. He couldn’t take his eyes off you. Had I not declined his offer, I figured that he would be following you without leaving.”Deirdre had no idea how she should respond, so she said, “He’s just worried about me.”“Is it because you’re pregnant?”Deirdre nodded.Emily smiled and said, “I think so too.”Then, she got into the car and helped Deirdre to open the door. Deirdre took a seat. She was under the assumption that Emily would inquire about something else, yet she did not speak much along the way. Instead, she kept herself busy with her tasks. She made calls over and over again as if she was trying to show Deirdre that her status was equal to Brendan

“She didn’t tell you beforehand because she was afraid that you’d be worried before a treatment was decided.”“Really?”Deirdre was still doubtful. “Hmm, if you’re not happy with everything being hidden from you, I’ll get you to join the next time.”“Forget it.” Deirdre felt rather powerless because one could never forcefully involve oneself in a conversation. “It will be fine as long as you update me about my condition without any reservations.”Perhaps she was being over-sensitive. After all, she would be rather concerned to know that there was a possibility of recovery from her blindness. “Hmm.”Brendan leaned over subconsciously in an attempt to kiss her. Deirdre could feel Brendan’s movement and did not resist it. She held her breath and waited attentively, yet in the next moment, Brendan suddenly loosened his grip over her and removed himself from her.“It’s time for dinner. I’ll see you to discuss your current condition after dinner.”She caressed Deirdre’s hair.
