Chapter 135 Promise

“Alright…” Suppressing the bitterness in her voice, Deirdre nodded strenuously. “I’ll wait.”

She was planning to return to her room when a song filled the entire room all of a sudden.

Deirdre was stunned. She knew the song like the back of her hand because it was her ringtone.

Brendan was rather surprised as well. He pulled the drawer with a long face and saw Sterling’s name

displayed on the caller ID.

Sterling had attempted to call Deirdre previously but he had stopped calling after finding out that

Brendan was holding the phone without any intention of passing it back to Deirdre

Brendan’s face turned green with rage now that Sterling was suddenly calling Deirdre for no apparent

reason.

Deirdre did not have the courage to act rashly. Her hands were tightly clenched, and she suppressed

all hope as she asked, “Is my phone ringing?”

Brendan narrowed his eyes and inquired closely without answering her question, “Whose call are you

looking forward to picking up?”

He suppressed the anger in his tone, but Deirdre could sense it without seeing it. She bit her lower lip

and subconsciously denied it by saying. “No one’s ”

“No one’s?” Brendan sneered. She had looked like a dead woman with her empty, dull gaze previously,

yet her eyes lit up and her entire person began glowing when the call came in.

“I believe that you’ve figured out who the caller is, right? Would you like to take the call?”

Deirdre appeared to be conflicted but shook her head after a few seconds.

Brendan clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white Unexpectedly, he pressed the

accept button and put the call on speaker.

Sterling’s voice came from the other end of the line at once. “Deirdre? Is that you?”

Deirdre felt her heart racing. She kept her head lowered and did not utter a word. In fact, she did not

even have the courage to express any emotion.

Brendan sneered while he stared at Deirdre’s face closely. “I’m sorry for disappointing you, Mr. Fuller.

It’s not Deirdre, it’s me.”

Sterling could not hide his disappointment, even though he had not thought that Deirdre would have

access to her phone. “Can you please pass the phone to Deirdre?”

“She’s right next to me, but she’s busy.” Brendan looked at Deirdre and said in a flirtatious, provocative

tone, “Her mouth is preoccupied with another task at the moment, so she’s not able to take your call for

the time being. Mr. Fuller. You may speak to me, and I’ll convey your message to her.”

Sterling clenched his teeth to withstand the uneasiness he felt and said, “Are you listening, Deirdre? I

wasn’t planning on calling you but I called anyway. You told me you wanted me to go the other day, and

I understand that my presence must have affected your life. That’s why I bought a bus ticket today and

I’ll be moving to another location tonight. I hope you live a good life and I wish you a happy birthday.

Don’t forget our promise. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Sterling did not procrastinate. Instead, he ended the conversation after speaking briefly. Meanwhile,

Brendan’s expression turned gloomy.

‘Promise?’

He felt a gush of ineffable anger burning in his chest. He asked, “What kind of promise is that?”

‘Deirdre made a promise to Sterling without telling me?’

He was infuriated to learn this. He glared at Deirdre coldly and pushed over everything on the desk

abruptly when Deirdre refused to answer him. The items fell to the floor with a loud clatter.

“Speak! Have

you lost your voice?”

Brendan spoke in a stern voice that startled Deirdre. She said through tightly-clenched teeth, “It’s not

important. It happened a long time ago.”

‘A long time ago?’

It was before he had found her. Brendan’s eyebrows did not relax at all. He took a few steps forward

and clutched her throat before he lifted her up. “Deirdre, you still don’t understand my question.”

A suffocating feeling filled her mind. She hung from his arms and said with great difficulty, “I promised

that we would move to the place where he used to stay to live out our lives together if we had the

opportunity.”

She uttered the words with great difficulty, yet Brendan could hear the adoration they felt for each other.

It was the promise of a lifetime.
