Deirdre's eyes relaxed. "Okay, fine then."It seemed that yesterday was really a misunderstanding. Perhaps she had recalled that time because he had drunk too much.For some reason, when Brendan thought of Deirdre's attitude, he felt a little flattered, and his eyes revealed a gleam of hope."Deirdre, don't you blame me?" He was cautious. After doing such an unforgivable thing, he thought he would never get Deirdre's response again.When Deirdre came back to her senses, she was naturally upset with Brendan, but she was even more surprised by how out of control he was.While Ophelia was going to the kitchen, she asked, "What were you thinking when you treated me like that on that day? Did your reason tell you to stop? Why did you treat me like that?" She tried to look at Brendan's expression, but her eyes teared up uncontrollably at that moment. Brendan's handsome face turned pale as if Deidre had touched his sore spot. "I'm sorry."Deirdre said urgently, "I don't want your apol

Ophelia had always been very kind. In Village Alnwick, she was even so kind that she let others order her around. Even when other people threw their clothes to her for washing, she happily accepted it.Now… Perhaps her mentality had changed?Seeing Deirdre deep in thought with downcast eyes, Ophelia held her hand."Dee, you were already pregnant when I came, so I can only treat Brendan as my son-in-law. If he treats you well, I have no complaints, but look at the current situation." Ophelia's eyes had a complicated look. "He doesn't keep a distance from other women, and he has done many bad things to you. He is not a suitable person for you, can you understand?"Deirdre was stunned for a moment before nodding immediately.Ophelia thought of something. "Sterling is a very good man. I used to treat him like my future son-in-law. He is back now, and you two would be a great match."When Sterling was mentioned suddenly, Deirdre was stunned for a while."Mom..." She said awkwardly,

Deirdre blinked and sat up unconsciously. "How was it?""It's not bad. I slept for ten hours, and my mental state feels a lot more stable. If this continues, I won't do that kind of thing again."Deirdre couldn't help being surprised. "Ten hours? That psychologist is so amazing?""Yeah. I've never slept so soundly before."Brendan saw the woman's face through the moonlight, leaned over passionately, and kissed the corner of her lips. He just gave her a peck and soon put his head on Deirdre's shoulder."Deirdre, I'll get better."Deirdre lowered her eyes. Facing Brendan, who had revealed his vulnerable side, she had mixed feelings in her heart, but she mostly felt bad for him. He didn't want to lose control of his emotions, and he had been working hard to control them."Yeah. I'll wait for you."After responding, Brendan twitched the corners of his lips and held Deirdre's fingertips tightly. At such a close distance, he even had the illusion that he could hear her heartbeats.D

Deirdre raised her head in astonishment. "You believe me?"Sterling smiled. "Don't put too much burden on yourself. Although I don't like Brendan, he is really not the kind of person who hurts you maliciously and escapes responsibility by blaming it on his illness."I also thought it was strange at first. It stands to reason that even if he took you away, he would not cross the line for the child's sake, but since that happened, it shows that he was acting impulsively, but he has always been relatively calm."Deirdre's pupils trembled. She was happy and excited and pursed her lips. "This is what happened... I couldn't figure it out, but I finally understood it when he said that he had been haunted by nightmares for half a month and would only sleep for three or four hours daily. He has a mental problem, and the symptoms only appeared after he fell ill. He did this to save my mother. I have no reason to just ignore this."With a serious expression, Sterling looked at Deirdre worried

Deirdre was taken aback and slightly embarrassed. "Brendan, that's cheating!""No, it's not," Brendan said seriously. "I won't get the reward until tomorrow. It stands to reason that I should tell you about it tomorrow, but if you want to know in advance, you have to give me a taste first."If Deirdre didn't know what the man was thinking, she might have been fooled by his serious attitude."Are you really just looking for a taste? You are clearly…" She couldn't say it aloud.Brendan knew that she was thin-skinned, so he asked without hesitation, "What is it?"Deirdre lowered her head. "If I kiss you once, you'll tell me?"Brendan smiled. "Yes."Deirdre pursed her lips. Even though she couldn't see him clearly now, she knew that the man was waiting for her kiss. For some reason, something as normal as kissing became slightly awkward and feisty under the man's waiting.Deirdre suppressed the burning heat in her chest and resigned herself to kissing Brendan's lips. She intended t
