Chapter 225 I’m Not His Girlfriend

“You’ve got nothing to worry about then.” Deirdre said, her eyes downcast. “I’m not his girlfriend. His

lover is someone else.”

“I f*cking knew it!” The woman cried. Her eyes twinkled in joy as she considered Deirdre. The more she

examined her, the sorrier Deirdre looked in her eyes. “Jesus, how the hell did you even get someone

as hot as him to be your amusement park partner? Oh, wait. I think I know-he pities you, right? Must be

tough, growing up with that sort of face and being blind at the same time. So he brought you here to

grant your wish out of charity!”

Charity?

Deirdre froze. The woman saw her, thought it must be a gotcha moment, and beamed. “I got it all right,

didn’t I? You thought the same, didn’t you? Why else would a man this perfect even want to hang

around?”

While she was busy putting Deirdre down, Brendan reappeared. He stared at the woman next to

Deirdre and frowned. “What’s wrong?”

Deirdre shook her head. “Nothing.”

He looked at the woman pointedly. “Who’s this?”

The woman smiled, looking unabashed. “Just a passerby. Saw your friend over here having a bad time,

so I came to check on her.”

“Oh yeah?” Brendan shot her a noncommittal glance. “You can move on now.”

He had ignored her suggestive body language altogether. Feeling mildly embarrassed, the woman

stepped forward and changed tactics. “I don’t mean to be a busybody or anything, but I’ve got a friend

who used to suffer from the same sort of nausea she does. Then, she got better because of this

medicine that I’d be happy to refer to you. I’ll drop you a link in a DM, okay? So, what’s your

Instagram?”

It was as cheesy as it could get. He didn’t spare her a glance as he declared, “My girlfriend is right

here.” “Girlfriend?!” The woman was aghast. She turned to Deirdre-who was still battling the demon of

nausea- and chortled. “That was a good one, handsome. Her, your girlfriend? C’mon. At least come up

with at better excuse, man! Besides, I asked her and she told me the two of you are not in a

relationship.”

“Not in a relationship.”

Brendan’s eyes darkened. It was as though a squall had suddenly pooled in those jet-black eyes. The

air around him stiffened and boiled as he fixed a piercing glare on Deirdre. Even the woman felt that

something was wrong and backtracked a little.

“Did you really say that, Deirdre?”

Brendan’s fury came so suddenly that Deirdre did not know how to react. She bit her lip, but that beat

of silence turned into a chance for the woman to step in once more. “I was there when she said it,

handsome. She said you’ve got someone else on your mind. She’s not your girlfriend!”

Brendan’s fingers tightened, and the poor water bottle was bent out of shape.

Nothing had changed after all. They had been marching in place.

F*cking damn it, Deirdre. You and your heart of stone!”

“I want to hear you repeat that, Deirdre,” he said emphatically. His glower was beyond nightmarish

Deirdre felt as though her throat was being choked, and all color left her face. “I-I’m s-sorr-”

“F*ck, no! I don’t want to hear any of that phony crap!” Brendan erupted. He clutched her by her

shoulders hard. “I hate it when you say ‘sorry’ or ‘thank you’ out of some stupid reflex-they are all a

f*cking earsore! I want the real, unbridled you! I want… I want you! I’ve been doing so much these days

that I thought you might finally give me a chance already, but your heart is a f*cking stone after all!

Seriously! What the hell is happening inside your head?!”

Deirdre was shocked, but the woman beside her was downright gobsmacked. ‘What the hell is that

supposed to mean? Is this guy… trying to win this ugly b*tch’s heart?!”

Holy sh*t. It was as if the world itself had capsized!

Deirdre’s lips trembled despite herself. Even her breathing was uneven. She closed her eyes wearily

and opened them again.

“Maybe I should be the one asking, Brendan. What do you really want out of this? Why do you act like

a completely different person? Why did you bring me here? Why did you save me… even when you

could have died?”
