Chapter 111 How Did You Develop Such Great Ability?
Sam didnât fake his concern, although he could ignore Deirdre just like other bodyguards.
âThanks.â Samâs kindness touched Deirdre. She hesitated and decided to ask, âSam, can you help me?â
âIf itâs not something that will place me in a difficult situation, Iâm happy to oblige.â
Deirdre hurriedly said, âNo, it wonât! Iâd just like you to help me find out where Sterling is now, his current situation, and whether heâs living a good life during your spare time.â
Deirdre was assured that Brendan wouldnât give up easily. The fact that Brendan hadnât humiliated her continuously at the party led to her assumption that Brendan might have shifted his focus on Sterling.
Hence, she wanted to know Sterlingâs condition.
However, before Sam could answer, the sound of clothes hangers falling to the ground came from the door.
Deirdre was stunned, and her chest tightened suddenly. She heard Brendan say while gnashing his teeth, âYou really miss him.â
It was as if Deirdre had crossed Brendanâs bottom line. He was emitting a bone- piercing chill aura, creating a suffocating atmosphere that turned Deirdreâs face white as a sheet.
Deirdre tried to explain, âNoâ¦â
âNo?â Brendan approached Deirdre, gripped her chin, and forced her head up. Rage overtook him as he barked, âWhat do you mean by a no? Why would you want to know about his current situation if you werenât missing him? Donât tell me that you wanted to know when he would die!â
Deirdre shivered intensely. Brendanâs anger spiked to the point that he gripped Deirdre so hard that he wanted to crush her.
Brendan hadnât slept all night. The moment he got back from the outside, a fresh swell of rage rose in him when he heard Deirdre talking only about Sterling without showing any concern about him not coming back all night.
âMr. Brighthall.â As Sam saw how Deirdreâs forehead knitted in pain, his heart skipped a beat. Hence, he faked a smile, trying to explain. âMr. Brighthall, you have misunderstood. Ms. Kinnon definitely didnât mean that. Sheâs trying to show care to her acquaintance-â
Sam received a glare from Brendan before he could finish his explanation.
âDid I let you talk?â
Sam grimaced.
Deirdre was afraid to involve Sam, so she said while enduring the pain, âJust go out, Sam. This matter has nothing to do with you.â
As soon as Sam left, Brendan smirked. âSo, youâve started trying to protect anyone you meet? Is it because Sterling alone canât satisfy your needs? Thatâs why you want to seduce even a bodyguard?â
Before Deirdre could reply, Brendan went on teasing. âThe ability you have is not ordinary, indeed.
Among all the bodyguards, Sam is the one I am most satisfied with. Not only does he have wisdom, but he also never minds otherâs business. Yet, heâs broken the precepts a couple of times just because of you. I donât even know how you develop such great ability.â
Deirdre gripped the sofa so tightly that her fingernails blanched. Brendan was bored, and an idea popped into his mind. âGo up and change your clothes. Weâll go out.â
âWhere are we going?â
Deirdre became tense, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Brendan curled the corner of his lip into a mocking smile. âYou donât have to know. But no worries, youâll definitely be thrilled at the place we are going.â
Deirdre didnât have the right to refuse. She went upstairs to take a shower. Although she had changed into a new dress, it was still a monotonous long gray dress. Moreover, because she didnât smile often, she looked lifeless.
Compared to the first time Brendan had met Deirdre at Sterlingâs place, she looked a lot more awful now.
Brendan was irritated as he looked at Deirdre. Hence, he left. It was Sam who came in and said, âMs.
McKinnon, let me take you out.â
Deirdre was momentarily startled before she replied, âSure.â
She couldnât understand Brendanâs capricious character. She didnât know what had infuriated Brendan again this time.
