Chapter 244 Is She Suspicious of You?

When those words were spoken, Brendan did not realize what was happening yet.” Money? What money?”

“The money I spent to buy the gifts… I don’t have a source of income for the time. being, so I spent the money on your ATM card. I’ll figure out a way to pay you back.”

There was agitation in Brendan’s eyes. He had never cared less about things like money and he was delighted that Deirdre had spent his money.

“Why do you have to draw such a clear distinction?” He then said in an unkind tone,” Did you think I’d care about a few thousand dollars?”

Deirdre was silent. ‘If that is not a problem, why did he bring up this issue?‘

Brendan took a deep breath and got straight to the point by saying, “Where’s mine?

“What is it?

“You brought gifts for Dr. Ginger and Sam, so do you have one for me too?”

Deirdre was stunned upon hearing that.

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows, his gaze darkening when he saw Deirdre’s surprised expression. “You didn’t get me anything, huh, Deirdre?”

“I…” Deirdre was caught in a daze and bit her lower lip tightly for a long time. “I didn’t know what to get you because you have everything and things are quite costly, so I…”

Brendan pushed everything on the coffee table to the floor, startling Deirdre. Sensing that Brendan was walking toward her, she hastily raised her arms to protect herself, only to discover that Brendan had walked past her, headed upstairs coldly, and shut the door.

Deirdre turned her head to look toward the second floor. She could not figure out why Brendan would be so furious all of a sudden. ‘Is it just because I didn’t get him a gift?

‘Yet what would the all–powerful Brendan need? He would surely despise the gift for being too cheap for his taste, just like he did in the past, look down at me in disgust, and blurt arrogantly, “Don’t buy things that are too inferior to show in public, Deirdre. No one would pick up a cheap thing like this even if it was tossed to the ground.”

She returned to her room in a daze and found Maeve still making the bed. Noticing that Deirdre had returned empty–handed, she asked casually, “Deirdre, didn’t you go to fetch yourself a glass of water?

Why did you return empty–handed? Is it because Chapter 244 Is She Suspicious of You?

you couldn’t find any water?”

Maeve stopped what she was doing and turned stern after seeing Deirdre’s expression. “What happened?”

She approached Deirdre. “What happened?”

“Nothing, mother.” Deirdre gave her a forced smile and pretended that she was fine.” It’s so cold downstairs that my head is working slowly. I’m going to take a shower. You can lie down and rest.”

“Sure. Promise me that you won’t keep anything that worries you to yourself. Promise you’ll tell me.”

Deirdre nodded and headed to the bathroom. As she removed her clothes, she pulled a box from her pocket. She opened the box to reveal something that was glistening under the light.

She touched it with her hand before she lowered her gaze and shut the box in disappointment in the end.

At the same time, someone knocked on the door of the study.

“Come in.”

Maeve entered and a look of disappointment flashed past Brendan’s eyes when he realized that it was Maeve. It happened so quickly that no one would notice. He then asked with a calm gaze, “What’s going on?”

“Mr. Brighthall.” Maeve shut the door after her with a solemn expression.”

Something happened when I was out shopping with Ms. McKinnon this afternoon and I feel that I should inform you.”

“What is it?”

Maeve furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and recounted, “Ms. McKinnon and I were shopping for clothes in an apparel store at the mall this afternoon. She was still well before I went to change in the dressing room. Her expression suddenly turned very unusual after I came out of the dressing room, and she insisted on touching my hands to confirm my identity.”

Brendan raised his head abruptly, his dark eyes filled with ferocity. “What do you mean? Is she suspicious of you?”

“Yes.” Maeve nodded. “However, the suspicion came out of nowhere. I sense that something must have happened while I was in the dressing room.”
