Resent, Reject, Regret

Chapter 665

“Is that all?” Kyran stared at Deirdre closely with his dark eyes and felt relieved when he noticed there was nothing strange about her expression. He hugged her tightly.

Deirdre wrapped her arms around his back and felt the man’s wide, muscular back shaking ever so slightly. She asked, “Are you shaking, Kyran?”

Kyran did not answer, but the door of the room opened up. Glenna and Declan did not express any surprise after seeing them, as if they had already heard the commotion outside the room.

Deirdre explained shyly, “I wasn’t eavesdropping on purpose, but I came for some flour.

However… Since I’ve already overheard your conversation, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. Are you… quarreling? Are you okay?”

Glenna’s expression was ghastly pale and very unpleasant. Her red lips were tightly pursed, and she took a glance at Kyran before she asked with her fists clenched,

“Deirdre, you and him… Him being Mr. Reed, are you happy being with him?” Deirdre had no idea why Glenna would ask this question out of nowhere. Soon afterward, she cracked a happy smile and said, ‘Yes, of course.”

Glenna took a deep breath. “It’s great that you’re happy… It’s great that you’re happy…”

Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “What’s going on with you, Glenna?”

“I’m fine.” Glenna could not bear to stay there even for a moment longer. “I suddenly remembered I still have some affairs to attend to at the company. I’m going back to work.”

“Aren’t you going to stay for lunch? What’s so urgent?”

“It’s fine.” Glenna declined the invitation. She was afraid she would be saddened by one more sight of Deirdre and felt she was one of the accomplices. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Glenna was worried she was behaving differently and would stir Deirdre’s suspicion, so she regained her usual smile and said, “You know about work. In a capitalist world, when work calls for you at 6:00, you’ll be doomed if you’re there at 6:15! I’ll come and taste your cooking next time, alright?”

“Alright.” Deirdre said, “Mr. King will send you there then.”

“It’s fine!” Glenna had a huge reaction and refused to take a glance at Declan. “I’ll just get a cab. I shall make a move now.”

Upon saying that, she left in a rush without giving Declan a chance to go after her.

A momentary silence ensued.

Declan chuckled and attempted to mediate the situation. “Glenna is such a lively person that she can walk so quickly, even in high heels. If she were to change into running shoes, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to catch up to her anymore.”

Deirdre chuckled. “Why would she need to change into running shoes? You still can’t catch up to her now, right?”

“What did you say? Brendan and Deirdre are divorced?” Charlene got up in astonishment, her handcuffs rattling while she struggled to get up. Her skinny face made her huge eyes pop, and she appeared terrifying under the white light.

“Have you misheard? How can that be possible?” Mitch said nonchalantly, “It can’t be a mistake. My subordinates witnessed them entering the courthouse, and they were still legally married at that time.

Could it be they were there for something else? I checked Brendan’s personal information and found that his status has already returned to being single.”

“It can’t be!” Charlene sat on the chair once again, bit her nails, and muttered to herself,

“It can’t be… They’ve already fooled around with each other for a long time, and that is why they shut me in this terrifying place! Why would they get a divorce when they’re already together?”

She had been recalling her last encounter with Brendan non-stop to figure out if something was strange about the meeting.

She had been too emotional at the time, in fear that Brendan would leave her. After calming down, she realized that Brendan was stunned by Deirdre’s presence and seemed restless, as if he was scared of something.
