Resent, Reject, Regret

Chapter 694 Under Someone’s Spell?

Before Brendan could say anything, Deirdre said smilingly, “Perhaps I might listen to the reason you didn’t come home late at night, but you need not explain about your relationship with the woman.”

Brendan felt his heart racing, and the panic in his speech could not be concealed when he said, “Deirdre?”

‘That is because it’s unnecessary,” Deirdre answered swiftly. Her gaze was gentle as usual when she said, “I trust you, and I trust that your relationship with any other person is pure. I trust that you won’t cheat on me or betray our relationship. Hence, I’m not going to indulge in wild conjectures, and you don’t need to be anxious about that.” i

Brendan stood in the same spot in a daze. He had never expected the situation to turn out like this. In fact, he remembered feeling an unbearable burning sensation in his chest when he was driving here.

He was afraid that Deirdre would indulge in wild conjectures, that she would get in a conflict with him and hate him.

Countless possible scenarios went through his mind, but he was only afraid that she would be utterly disappointed in him and that he would be unable to salvage their relationship. As a result, he found out that she trusted him without any reservation all this while…

It was precisely due to the trust that she would not question him on the woman’s identity with tears running down her face or become hysterical. On the contrary, she cared even more about him not having warm food served to him after coming home late.
