Chapter 782 I Can Smell Her in This Room

“Deirdre!” The man hugged Julia, and he sounded anxious. The faint fragrance he wore and the smell of his sweat tickled her nostrils, but she did not find it disgusting.

Julia was stunned for a moment, but Tobey suddenly realized something. He released

Julia and asked with a frown. “Who are you? Why are you inside my house?”

It was only then Julia came around to her senses. She realized that he was

Deirdre’s boyfriend, and her face turned red. Biting her lips, she said,” I’m Julia. I’m Deirdre’s student.”

“Julia?” Tobey knew who she was, but he did not have time to talk to her now. ‘Where is Deirdre?”

Deirdre came out of the room. “Tobey…”

Tobey hastily went up to her and grabbed her hand. “Deirdre, quickly! We need to go now.”

“Go now?” Deirdre became nervous again. ‘What happened?”

“Some strangers are wandering in the neighborhood. I think they’re Brendan’s men, and they’re looking for you,” Tobey said sternly. ‘We need to go now and find another safer place.”

‘This is all my fault,” said Julia, ‘To make it up for you, I’ll stay here. When Brendan comes here, I’ll help you to stall him. You guys should probably go now.” Deirdre petted Julia’s head and left with Tobey after getting herself a few clothes. Tobey was very familiar with the neighborhood, so they left through the back door without anybody noticing them.

As soon as they left, Brendan’s car came into the neighborhood. The tracker on Julia showed that she was inside one of the buildings.

Sam found the staff, and they soon found out where Deirdre was living.

“Should we go up now, sir?”

Brendan tapped the seat with his finger. After a short while, he rose to his feet and went upstairs.

Julia opened the door. She pressed her lips tightly, and even though she tried her best to calm herself down, the nervousness in her eyes belied her calm composure due to her young age.

“Did she leave?” asked Brendan. He didn’t seem surprised.

“What are you talking about, Brendan?” Julia forced herself to calm down and said, “I don’t get it.”

Brendan pushed her away and looked around. There were only a few pieces of furniture in the room. It looked rather frugal, but he could sense Deirdre’s presence there.

He opened the door to the rooms inside. He seemed relieved when he saw traces of people living in both rooms. Then he walked toward the room that was filled with Deirdre’s scent.

The moment he sat on the bed, he had never felt that he was so close to Deirdre. He was so close. He was so close to reaching her.

‘She refuses to see me even though she’s living in frugality? Am I really such a big villain for her?’ Brendan thought as he let out a self-mocking smile.

He looked at a strand of hair on the pillow and picked it up with his finger.

Julia was standing in the living room, waiting for Brendan with bated breath as his men watched her.

When Brendan came out again, he resumed his apathetic attitude and asked, “Do you know where she is heading?”

Julia let out a dry laugh and replied, ‘Who is she, Brendan? I don’t know who you are talking about.”

Brendan did not say anything in return and gave Sam a signal. Sam said,” Ms. Ward, let me send you home.”

Even though Julia was scared, she could not bring herself to say no to them. After Sam brought Julia away, Brendan scanned the entire apartment as if it was his own home.

The living room, the bedroom, and the stew meat in the kitchen-all of them were waiting for the man of the house to come back, but he was not the man of the house. Brendan’s eyes turned red.

After Deirdre and Tobey left the neighborhood, both of them wandered aimlessly and finally settled down in a motel.

When Deirdre sat on the couch, she got tired of running around like this.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
