Chapter 333 Newlyweds âCan you give us a lift?â Eilis asked, âWeâre going to town to buy some winter clothes for Deirdre.â
âSure,â said Declan. However, when he looked at his car, he suddenly said, âBut my car is fully occupied now. What about you go ask Kyran? Heâs over there.â
âMr. Reed?â Eilis hesitated for a moment. She no longer held any hostility toward Kyran, but she was not very familiar with him. âIâm worried that he might not want to give us a lift.â
âOh, donât worry about that. Iâm sure he will,â said Declan. âWeâre all family. Iâm sure heâll be happy to help out.â
âAlright then.â
Eilis grabbed Deirdre, and they walked toward Kyranâs car. She knocked on the window, and the window was rolled down, revealing Kyranâs perfectly chiseled face.
He glanced at Eilis before focusing on Deirdre.
Eilis froze for a moment and said, âMr. Reed, Deirdre and I want to go to the town to buy some clothes. Can you give us a ride?â
Kyran observed Deirdre. Apparently, the shirt Deirdre was wearing right now did not fit her at all. Perhaps the shirt was so old that it had lost all its form. He contemplated for a while before nodding.
Eilis grinned from ear to ear as she said, âThank you.â
It would be rude for both of them to sit at the back since it would make Kyran look like their driver. Therefore, Eilis sat in the passenger seat. When Kyran started the engine, Deirdreâs phone rang out.
She pulled her phone out of her pocket and answered the call. A gentle voice wafted from the other side of the line. âDee.â
âTobey?â Deirdre was surprised that Tobey would call her.
Kyran froze for a moment, and Deirdre hastily pitched her voice low. âWhy did you suddenly call me? Did something happen?â
Tobey chuckled and asked, âMust I have something to call you?â
âNo, thatâs not what I mean,â replied Deirdre, her voice filled with embarrassment. âOf course, you can call me whenever you want. Itâs just that I thought you were working right now.â
âYeah,â Tobey said, smiling. âI wanted to hear your voice, so I called you.â
Just when Deirdre wanted to say something, Kyran hit the brake, and she nearly rammed into the back of the seat.
Tobey heard the commotion and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Deirdre got up and looked ahead. Eilis was obviously startled as well as she patted her chest and said, âSomeone suddenly cut in just now.â
Honestly, she did not know what had happened either. She just assumed that was the reason since there was no way Kyran would slam on the brake all of a sudden.
âI see,â Deirdre said before speaking to Tobey. âSomething happened on the road.â
âOn the road? Where are you going?â
Deirdre said embarrassingly, âMadame Russell is taking me to buy some clothes at the mall today.â
Understanding instantly dawned upon Tobey. âAh, I see. It was autumn when you came, so you didnât bring any winter clothes with you. Iâve been too busy recently, so it totally slipped my mind. Otherwise, I wouldâve bought a few and had someone deliver them to you.â
âItâs okayâ¦â replied Deirdre in a low voice. âIâve already caused you a lot of trouble staying in your house.â
âYouâre not causing us any trouble.â Tobey laughed. âYouâre keeping my mother company. She has been living alone, and your presence has added a lot of color to her life. By right, we should not only offer you food and shelter but also give you a salary.â
Deirdre was amazed at how he put the whole thing in such a nice way. It seemed to her that the way he handled things was different from other people since he worked in town, and now she did not feel that bad anymore.
âSince my mother is taking you to the mall, you can buy whatever you want. After settling things here, Iâll come to see you.â
âOkay.â
Deirdre hung up the call, and Eilis teased her. âYou guys really make a good couple, do you know that? People who donât know it might think you two are newlyweds.â
