Chapter 236 Thought She Left

Sam stood in the same spot while Deirdre walked ahead for two steps before she noticed that Sam

was

not by her side.

“Sam?”

“I’m here.” Sam caught up to her in a few steps, and they walked together on the flat ground.

Deirdre said, “What happened? Why are you suddenly so quiet? I thought something bad had

happened.”

Sam felt a tight knot in the pit of his stomach as he looked at Deirdre’s lively mannerisms, her smile,

and her gentleness. He suddenly empathized with Brendan’s feelings.

If this lie can be sustained forever, will that be a good thing for Deirdre?”

“Nothing much. I saw a child running about on the road earlier, so I stopped to check the traffic.”

“Children are always mischievous.” Deirdre’s smile became frozen for a moment, but she quickly

changed the conversation topic.

They were not far from the villa, so they chatted harmoniously while they walked and arrived at the

courtyard soon.

However, Sam saw a tall and huge figure from afar, even before they reached the door.

Brendan had slippers on. Even though he had a trench coat draped over him, he was only wearing a

thin shirt inside. He stood at the entrance door in the howling wind with a stern expression.

From the moment he saw Deirdre, he went from looking nervous to relieved. He took a few steps

forward and hugged Deirdre tightly in his arms.

“Why did you head out so suddenly?” he asked her coldly while his dark eyes stared at Sam. He

warned her with a rigid voice, “You didn’t even inform anyone. Could it be that you have no idea that

your mother would be worried?”

“Mother?” Deirdre was jolted back to reality. She raised her head and said, “Is she awake? I’m sorry. I

woke up early on purpose, so I could get something and be back before she woke up. I didn’t expect

that I would be held up for so long that all of you are awake.”

“She’s not awake yet. It’s me.” Brendan glared at Deirdre with his sharp gaze and exerted strength in

his grip over Deirdre’s arm from feeling stressed.

He was the one who had seen the opened door of Deirdre’s room and Deirdre’s missing pair of shoes

and realized that Deirdre was out.

He was overwhelmed with emotions at that very moment, and way too many thoughts flashed past his

mind.

‘Why did Deirdre leave? Why did she go out? Is she running away? Has she noticed Maeve’s disguise

and chose not to speak a word of it so she can seize the opportunity to leave when I let down my

guard?‘

He felt his heart wrench in pain at the thought of the possibility. It was because perhaps he would not

see Deirdre anymore for the rest of his life if that were the case.

He lost his senses and came outside wearing only his slippers and a trench coat.

“It’s you? Did you notice that I was gone?” Deirdre shook the bag in her hand. “Don’t worry. I went to

get some necessities. You should go inside.”

She could feel Brendan’s unusually cold body, and there was no telling how long he had been waiting

for her in the cold.

Dr. Ginger had also arrived after they headed inside. Noticing that Brendan did not look so good, Dr.

Ginger asked cautiously, “What happened?”

“Nothing. I was out, and it was way too cold there,” answered Brendan.

Dr. Ginger was surprised and said, “Why did you go outside when it’s so cold? I shall prepare some hot

chocolate for everyone.”

He went bustling about in the kitchen while Brendan kept his gloomy expression. Sam was sensible

enough to help out in the kitchen, leaving Brendan and Deirdre by themselves in the spacious living

room.

His icy cold gaze did not leave Deirdre for even a moment, but Deirdre could not see and did not

manage to notice anything unusual.

She was confused. She bit her lower lip and asked, “Are you angry?”
