Resent, Reject, Regret

Chapter 742 What Do You Prefer: a Son, Or a Daughter?

Fionn proved to be rather trusting and did not press on. He simply replied, “Okay, then.”.

Tobey gripped Deirdre by the shoulders. “We don’t have much time, Dee. You know Brendan better than I do, right? You practically live with him. You’ll be the one to vie for the most opportune time, you hear? I’ll never change my number, and I’ll always be around where you live. Anytime you’re ready to flee, you give me a heads-up, and I’ll take you away from all of this. We’ll go somewhere so foreign even Brendan would not know where to look!”

Tobey was oozing so much conviction that Deirdre finally yielded. Her mind was a million panicked thoughts rising at once, but she forced herself to think as coherently as she could. “What about Madame Russell?” she asked. “When Brendan’s possessed, he goes all the way through the bottom of the barrel. He’s not gonna let anyone go, not even Madame Russell.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll send my mom to live in her hometown these few days until all of this blows over. She doesn’t like living in cities but feels right at home in any rustic countryside.”

That calmed Deirdre down.

The time she had bought had run out. She pushed the door open and walked out, but before she left, she told Tobey under her breath, “Thank you.”

Tobey had taken a gambit with his life just so she could have a chance to escape Brendan. That was a sacrifice so momentous that failure ceased to become an option. The medical examination went on swimmingly, and Brendan was overjoyed. He pulled her into his arms as he read their report and breathed in her ear, “Would you rather we have a baby boy or a baby girl?”

In the past, Deirdre would have thought either was fine-as long as he was the one who fathered it. But things were different now. It was precisely because he had fathered it that made the child so undesirable.
