Chapter 211 She Is Mrs. Brighthall Brendan asked, but there was no response from Deirdre. He figured out that Deirdre was still awake, so he leaned next to her ear and whispered, âIt was my fault for disappointing you in the past, Deirdre. I ruined your life and everything in it. If I could do it over, Iâd want to keep the child and ask you to stay.
However, I canât turn back time, so please give me a chance to atone. If you still want to leave after meeting Ophelia, Iâll grant you the freedom to do so.â
Upon saying that, he tucked Deirdre under the blanket and left.
Deirdre opened her eyes and listened to her violent yet loud heartbeat.
The next morning, Brendan received some information from the company.
One of the tourism development projects was facing some issues, and Brendan was needed urgently there to connect with the collaborators. The trip could take a week or five days at the very least.
Brendan was well aware that Deirdreâs heart was already wavering, and it would be best to continue his victorious pursuit. If he were to let her cool down for five days, she would return to her calm self once again.
âMust I stay for such a long time?â
The assistant was conflicted. âThe location is quite far, and youâll be checking different areas there, so you canât shorten the âAlright, understood.â
Brendan got changed and got out of the room, only to find Deirdre already seated at the dining table.
His hands were healed but he still waited for Deirdre to feed him. When the feeding was completed, Brendan said nonchalantly, âCome with me on a trip to Southyarn tonight.â
Deirdre raised her head, and Brendan said, âI will be leaving for a trip and I donât know when Iâll be back. The trip will last five days at the very least, and I will only be at ease if I bring you along. Besides, I need you urgently because of my hands.â
Deirdre could not reject his remark, which had a dual meaning, so she could only return to the room to pack up.
She brought two garments with her. Sawyer drove both of them to the airport, and they flew a great distance before they were picked up right after they disembarked from the plane.
âHello, hello, Mr. Brighthall! Weâve already prepared the hotel room, and youâll be heading to the banquet hall when we get there so you can meet the collaborators right away.â
Brendan nodded. The person in charge looked at Deirdre and paused for a moment. âIs this your assistant or servant, Mr. Brighthall?â
Deirdreâs body stiffened, and she hid herself subconsciously. Brendan furrowed his eyebrows rapidly and wrapped his arms around her, his gaze icy. âThis is Mrs. Brighthall.â
The expression of the person in charge changed drastically at once, and Deirdre was stunned as well.
She heard the person in charge slap his forehead in a haste. âWhatâs wrong with me that I didnât even manage to recognize Mrs. Brighthall! Iâm really sorry, Mrs. Brighthall!â
âItâs fine.â Deirdre lowered her head but she was having trouble getting accustomed to this. She wanted to run It was fortunate that they reached the hotel soon. Brendan removed his tie after they entered the room and scanned Deirdreâs back with his gaze. âAre you feeling unwell today? Is it because of what the manager said? If it is, just say it and Iâll make him disappear from Southyarn.â
âNo, itâs not related to him.â
âNot related to him?â Brendan stepped forward, making her turn to him and tilting her chin up with his hand. He sized up her face and said, âYouâve been in a bad mood ever since you met him. What else could it be if not his inability to recognize you?â
Deirdre forced a smile. âIâm not that childish, Brendan. I wouldnât make a fuss out of a trivial matter like this. Itâs very normal for people not to recognize me.â
âYou just donât like to be mistaken for someone else then.â Brendan was very determined. âGet changed. Iâm taking you to the banquet hall to introduce you to everyone. You should be pleased, right?â
He held her hand, yet she resisted with all her might. âLet go of me, Brendan!â
