Upon saying that, Deirdre grabbed Kyran’s hands and stuffed them under her shirt once again without being bothered by his reluctance. He could feel the curve above the woman’s abdomen.Kyran kept his fingers curled, yet he could not stop his mind from wandering. His palms were sweaty from holding himself back. Kyran pulled back his hands, turned over, and lay down on the bed, yet his body was burning with sexual desire.“That’s enough.”Deirdre could feel the cold wind stirred up by the movements of the man turning over and also his steel wall-like back within her visual field. She was stunned for a moment.Deirdre could not conceal the dejection she felt in her eyes, but she inquired closely, “Do you feel better, Kyran? Does your throat still feel uneasy? Do you still feel cold?”Kyran did not answer her. She mustered the courage to stretch out her hand. “I’m only going to touch your back, and I will have peace of mind to feel that you’re warm.”Her palm pressed on his back,

Mrs. Cox said smilingly, “No. You didn’t make much noise. I found that both of you were rather quiet. However, after seeing the condition of your lips, I can say that Mr. Reed’s behavior doesn’t match his mannerism.”Deirdre was stunned and touched her lips subconsciously. She could feel that her lips were obviously swollen and even a little tender to the touch. At the thought of Kyran’s ferocity at the time, Deirdre’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She felt rather shy in her head but also delighted. That seemed to be Kyran’s first time losing control of himself. It was a good thing. After all, a person in love was not always sensible enough. Mrs. Cox was delighted in her heart as she looked at Deirdre’s reaction. When she was done binding the rack, she asked Deirdre, “What would you like to have for lunch today? I reserved some pork from Alby, who lives at the village entrance. Shall we have it with roasted carrots today?”“Sure.”“Where’s Mr. Reed? Does he have any diet

“Kyran?” Deirdre said calmly, “He injured his vocal cords, so he became mute and can only communicate with us through the phone.” “Mute?” Hoyt frowned. “Are you sure?”“Yes,” Deirdre replied with a smile. “What’s the matter? Why does it sound like you’re implying something?”Hoyt did not know how to put the question in his head into words. ‘If Kyran is mute, then why did Dad say he can talk?’His father was very confident of it, so the probability of him lying was close to zero. In other words, Kyran was lying to Deirdre. Hoyt fell silent.Deirdre was confused and asked, “Mr. Leigh? Why aren’t you talking?”Hoyt looked at Deirdre. He did not know if he should tell Deirdre the truth or not. “Miss McKinnon, how long have you known Mr. Reed?” “How long have I known him?” Deirdre counted with her fingers and replied, “It isn’t long. About three months or so.”Even Deirdre herself was stunned for a moment when she said that. Deep inside her heart, she felt like she had known Kyr

The room fell silent as soon as she asked the question.Her palms were filled with sweat, and her heart was hammering rapidly in her chest.“If you don’t want to answer the question now…”“I’m not.”Suddenly, a voice came over from the bed. It was not the cold and mechanical voice of the phone but the deep and magnetic voice of a man.Kyran continued. “I’m not mute.”His voice was raspy due to his condition. Even though Deirdre felt surprised at his answer, she was relieved at the same time.It was because his voice was totally different from that of Brendan.“If you’re not mute, then why didn’t you tell me about it? Why do you always use your phone when you’re talking to me?” Deirdre frowned and bombarded him with many questions. “What are you scared of?”Kyran looked at her and placed his finger on his neck. He had prepared in advance for a situation like this. There was a thing that looked like a button on his neck.“Listen to me, Deirdre. I’ve never told you before that I

‘I like you, and it has nothing to do with your previous marriage.’Deirdre’s eyes widened, and she had the urge to cry when she heard what Kyran said.Kyran collected her hair with his fingers and continued. “So, don’t worry about it. Don’t ever think you’re doing a bad thing because you’ve been hiding it from me. Everyone has secrets they don’t want to tell anyone, including me.”“Including you?” Deirdre looked at him.“Yeah.” Kyran gazed into her eyes fixedly and continued. “I have my secrets too.” Deirdre chuckled and was relaxed. “Are you referring to not telling me about the fact that you weren't mute?”Kyran fell silent for a moment and said, “Yeah.”“That’s normal. In that situation, even I would choose not to tell the truth. Besides, you’ve been looking for a chance to tell me about it. You weren’t planning to keep me in the dark forever.”“Then you didn’t plan to keep me in the dark forever, either, right? You’re confessing to me now.”Deirdre felt as if the fog in
