Chapter 230 You Are Angry Madame Brighthall shot Deirdre a frigid glare. âA woman like her must be kept at home. Donât even think about taking her out again.â
Following that, Madame Brighthall no longer felt like shopping and left with Charlene.
Deirdreâs gaze remained blank. She thought she was shameless herself, but Madame Brighthall accusing her of being the âthird partyâ and âthat kind of woman had destroyed her accumulated willpower. âDeirdre, are you alright?â Brendan caressed her face. Deirdre furrowed her brows tightly while her forehead was sweating. She was in a daze, and Brendan didnât know what she was thinking.
âIâm fine.â Deirdre recovered from her daze and avoided Brendanâs hand.
Brendan missed his target and felt that something was missing When he realized what it was, he clasped Deirdreâs wrist. âAre you angry? You should be aware of the matter between Charlene and my mother. My mother misunderstood that youâre the third party, so itâs normal that her harsh words made you feel bad. Donât take it to heart-â
âIâm not,â Deirdre calmly replied with downcast eyes. âIâm not feeling uncomfortable because of Madame Brighthallâs harsh words.â
âWhat is it then?â Brendan was confused.
Deirdre didnât answer but slowly closed her eyes. âLetâs go back. Iâm rather tiredâ
As soon as they got back, Deirdre closed the door to her room and lay on the bed.
She had not lost her temper. In fact, she had been calmed down further by Madame Brighthallâs words.
Yes, a woman like her could never be presentable indeed. This was a fact she used to be clear about, and she shouldnât have wavered just because of Brendanâs words.
She closed her eyes wearily, but when she thought about it, she felt at ease suddenly.
She thought it would be good enough to continue acting as a mistress provided Ophelia was still alive.
She didnât have to worry about it too much because that was not what she should be thinking about.
Deirdre woke up from her slumber at midnight. She felt warmth even though she could recall that she hadnât turned on the heating system in the room.
She slowly got out of bed and started cleaning her room. As she thought that Ophelia was supposed to come today, she couldnât wait. The moment she put on her clothes and opened the door to go out, she bumped into a person emitting a strong smell of cigarettes.
âYou up?â Brendan simply dropped the cigarette butt on the floor, where more cigarette butts were scattered.
Deirdre had soft feet. She came to her senses and raised her eyes after she stepped on a few cigarette butts. âHave you been standing by the door?â
âYes.â Brendan admitted it and dispersed the smoke from his mouth. âI want to talk to you. But because you were still sleeping and I didnât want to disturb you, Iâve been waiting by the door.â
He inevitably sounded impatient. Besides, because the doorway wasnât as warm as the room, his breathing gave off hints of coldness. Deirdre took a step backward. âLetâs talk inside.â
âNo.â Brendan looked into Deirdreâs eyes. âItâs just a few words. About what my mother said yesterday.â
Deirdre could feel that she was calm when she said, âIf you want to tell me not to take those words to heart, then there is no need for you to do anything because I never did.â
âIn that case, why are you treating me with this attitude?â Brendan said firmly. âYou are angry.â
Deirdre wanted to deny it, but she felt her heart aching. At the moment, even she didnât know what she was angry about.
Perhaps she was furious because she was wavering.
âIt doesnât matter anymore.â Deirdre raised her head. Her eyes were clear and unfocused when she said, â The only thing Iâm concerned about is my mother. You said you wanted us to go back to the old days, and we can still do it. Nothing has changed.â
