Chapter 898 Jealous of Your Best Friend

Declan was amused. "Why are you being so childish? I'm not going to fight you on this. You can have all the credit.

How have you been feeling recently, Miss McKinnon? Are you doing alright after enduring hardships in the detention

center during your pregnancy?" "No. I have already fully recovered after resting in the hospital for a few days."

Deirdre had mixed feelings toward Declan because he was an accomplice who had deceived her, but Declan had

put his heart and soul into doing things for her other than this particular situation.

"Great then." Declan smiled and said, "My trip is worth it."

Deirdre could tell that Declan was leaving, judging from his tone. "Will you still be returning to Eastgene, Mr. King?

Are you not going to stay for a few more days?" "I would like to stay for a few more days too because I've been

thinking about your cooking constantly these days. However, I'm needed there. I'll be back to gather with everyone

when I’m done dealing with everything.”

Declan did not linger further. He took his luggage and left right away in the same manner he came.

Brendan sent him off while Deirdre got out of the shower and heard the door opening. Brendan walked over and

hugged her, breathing heavily.

Deirdre shoved him once in embarrassment. "Go and take a shower first.

You reek of alcohol."

Brendan sniffed at himself and let go of Deirdre. He spoke in a tone tainted with grief. 'You seem to care a lot about

Declan, huh?" "What?" "He said that he is leaving today, but I could tell from the way you spoke that you wanted

him to stay. You sounded like you couldn't bear to part with him."

Deirdre was stunned. She came to realize that Brendan was jealous and found it amusing all at once.

'Why is he jealous of Declan?1 "He's Declan King, and you’re overthinking." "Yet, he is handsome, gentle, and

caring." Brendan insisted.

"That is true indeed," Deirdre said softly.

Noticing that the ambiance was off, she immediately corrected herself by saying, "Even if he is handsome, I can’t

see because I'm blind. As for gentleness and caring, he treats everyone in the same manner. Moreover, his caring

personality is only on the surface because we’re friends. It's not as real as your sincerity."

Deirdre wished that she could hide upon saying that.

'It's truly... absurd...' "Really?"

Brendan actually believed her. His eyebrows were raised in joy, but he refrained from smiling. However, his tone

was filled with delight when he said, "You're right that his caring personality is only on the surface."

He spoke with feigned depth but was so emotional that he could not refrain from kissing Deirdre's lips.

"You have a good eye, as usual."

Deirdre discovered it was unusually easy to appease Brendan. He might have regarded her words as sincere words

from her heart.

"Hmm..." Deirdre felt uneasy, so she changed the topic of conversation and said, "Wasn't Declan very free when

you were still Kyran? Why is he so busy now that he has to catch a red-eye flight? Can't he stay here for a night?"

Brendan's gaze dimmed substantially at the mention of this matter.

"He was waiting for the right time earlier. Now that the time is here, it's only natural for him to be busy. After all, he

has been waiting for the time to come no less than ten years." "The right time?" Deirdre's heart was racing. "Are

you talking about... the Kings?"

"Hmm." Brendan removed his tie slowly. "Big changes are coming to Eastgene. Perhaps we might visit Eastgene

when we're done handling our affairs. A new ruler will lead the Kings."

Deirdre's mind went blank. "How about Glenna then?" "Glenna?"

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. He could not remember within a short period of time when this person was

suddenly mentioned.
