Chapter 172 Because She No Longer Loved Him But now Deirdre didnât have any reason to force herself to eat something she disliked.
âCanât you understand why I ate it in the past?â Deirdre took a deep breath. âBecause at the time, the things you gave me were the most precious to me Back then, even though the ring that you were forced to buy me didnât fit, I was reluctant to take it off at all I preferred to put something on the ring and wear it on my finger, but nowâ¦â
She shuddered as she breathed but didnât continue Brendan, however, looked like he had received a blow in the face and had found the answer himself It was because Deirdre no longer loved him. Hence, she wouldnât treat whatever he bought as a treasure The pastry had melted into a puddle of butter on the ground, as she didnât need to force herself to eat this anymore.
Brendan felt a sudden heartache and felt so stuffy that he had difficulty breathing.
He didnât understand why he would feel uncomfortable and furious However, he clearly felt that something was separating him and Deirdre This made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He furrowed his brows as he said, âDeirdre, I didnât force you to do anything when we got married. I wonât force you to do anything now either. I wonât force you to eat this pastry if you refuse to. You donât have to compromise.â
âYes, youâve never forced meâ Deirdre jeered âIt was all wishful thinking on my part, so I can only blame myself for feeling contempt. Youâre innocent indeedâ
Brendan responded with a change in his expression. âMcKinnon, do you have to be so sarcastic?â
Deirdre admitted that she had spoken aggressively and with resentment. But she was not blaming Brendan, only herself.
If she hadnât been so ignorant back then and had clearly understood that she and Brendan were people from two different worlds, she might still have been an ordinary person with her own freedom.
âNo, I donât. Iâm just telling the truth.â Deirdre lowered her eyes and looked tired as she said, âIâm exhausted, so Iâll go rest.â
She turned and left. However, she had only taken two steps when Brendan suddenly grabbed her wrist.â Havenât you eaten yet? Donât tell me that your stomach has gotten better?â
âIâm not hungry.â
Deirdre didnât feel hungry indeed. She had just woken up, and due to the smell of meat floss and butter just now, she felt nauseated and had no appetite at all.
âEat something even if you arenât hungry.â With a frigid face, Brendan opened the refrigerator. There was everything one could want in it, but because he had limited cooking skills, he just took out some noodles and ordered Deirdre, âGo and sit at the dining table.â
Deirdre did what she was told while Brendan took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and started cooking. There were loud noises in the kitchen, but Deirdre merely sat blankly on the chair. She had no idea what Brendan was doing.
Brendan had not only bought her dessert, but he was also cooking for her himself. After all, he had always been a fan of cleanliness, and what he disliked the most was the smell of oily smoke.
While Deirdre was thinking while suffering from a headache, Brendanâs phone on the table rang.
âBrendan, itâs your phone.â
Brendan was really busy and had no free hands, so he sullenly said without turning his head, âPick it up.â
Deidre picked up the phone and fumbled to press the answer button. Just as she pressed it to her ear, she heard Charleneâs gentle and timid voice. âBren, Iâve reached your office, but you arenât here.
Where are you? I cooked your favorite porridge for you today. Come and eat it while itâs still hot.â
Deirdre didnât feel anything in reaction to the intimacy expressed by Charleneâs words. She was not surprised at all that the relationship between Brendan and Charlene remained unchanged.
Because of the incident that had occurred yesterday, Brendan had allowed Charlene to go to his office and bring him porridge.
