Chapter 130 Iâll Give Myself to You Today Deirdreâs entire body was trembling, and she wrapped her arms around herself tightly.
âMs. McKinnonâ¦â Sam said hesitantly. He could not help feeling sorry for Deirdreâs situation after witnessing the whole incident. âAre you alright?â
Deirdreâs eyes were red with tears. Sam was the only person she could trust now. He was the only one.
She hastily said, âSam, tell me if itâs true. Was Bliss killed by a homeless man?â
âYes.â Sam heaved a sigh. Even though he suspected Charlene, there was nothing he could do without adequate proof, and the mastermind had executed the scheme very well. âThe surveillance footage shows that the homeless man tormented and killed Bliss because he was mentally unstable. That is not unexpected, and thereâs no way we can pursue this incident legally. After all, itâs not a human life, but a dogâs lifeâ¦â
âYes, it was just a dog. An outsider wouldnât even raise an eyebrow because it died in the backyard.â
âUnderstood.â Deirdreâs voice was shaking.
âMs. McKinnon, donât think about it anymore. It was just a coincidence, and thereâs no one to blame.
Blissâ death was an accident. Donât take it to heart and donât blame yourself anymore.â
âHow can I not blame myself? Itâs my fault that Bliss got out of the room, so I killed it indirectly.â
âSure⦠Thank you.â
Deirdre slept terribly that night. She would think about Blissâ tragic death every time she closed her eyes. She had heard the description of its dismemberment and she had felt the intestines being squeezed out of its tiny body when she had felt it with her hands.
While she had been trying on beautiful clothes, Bliss had been howling in agony in the backyard, yet no one had come to its rescue.
She fell asleep with great effort, only to dream of her child and Bliss coming to see her. They claimed that they loathed her and regretted being associated with her. They asked her why she was alive when they were dead.
âIâm sorry⦠Iâm sorry⦠Itâs all because of me. Just wait for me. Iâll die and atone for my crimes soonâ¦â
She cried in agony. The man seated by the bed furrowed his eyebrows and wiped away her tears.
After he left Deirdreâs room, he found Charlene, who had already changed into a sexy nightgown. She approached him with a pungent perfume scent on her body.
âBrendan, why did you just come out of Ms. McKinnonâs room?â Charlene was slightly displeased. She had assumed that Brendan had been in the study all this time. âDid Ms. McKinnon ask to see you so she could complain about her grievances to you?â
âNo.â Brendan did not fancy the smell of that perfume. He turned his face to the side and said, âI went to her room to get something.â
âIs that so?â Charlene bit her lower lip. Then, she smiled, as she did not want to keep talking about Deirdre when they were together. She just found it too ominous. She wrapped her arm around Brendanâs arm and leaned her voluptuous body against him. âBrendan, donât you want to sleep in my room tonight? Weâve been together for such a long time, and I really want to give myself to youâ¦â
The womanâs face was charming, and her eyes were filled with amorous feelings. However, Brendan did not feel any sexual desire when he looked at her face.
Charlene had undergone plastic surgery to look like someone else, which made him feel estranged.
Besides, he would always think about Deirdre for no apparent reason and the way she bit her lower lip with an expression that was telling something elseâ¦
He shoved away Charlene. âCharlene, you know that Deirdre and I are still married. We cannot begin our relationship properly under the circumstances. This is unfair to you.â
âI donât care.â Charlene wrapped her arms around Brendanâs strong waist and leaned her face on his chest. âYou know that youâre all Iâve cared about right from the start. I would like to give myself to you today. I canât wait a moment longer.â
The womanâs soft bosom did not make Brendanâs expression change in the slightest. On the contrary, the pungent perfume smell made him want to escape.
