Chapter 400: Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Happy Dating!

Deirdre’s cheeks burned. If she admitted to it-well, would it not make it seem like she cared a lot about what Kyran thought of her?

The end of Kyran’s lips curled. His sincerity bled as he typed, “I’m stoked to hear that you care about what I think.”

Deirdre lowered her head, but no amount of searching provided her any good counterargument. “So?

Why didn’t you say anything, then? Unless both Mr. Engel and Mr. King were lying…

“Maybe they were, but what about the man who flirted with you? Do you really think he was lying?”

Kyran argued, his eyes nailed to the blind woman’s own. They were unfocused and glassy, but her eyes had always been so clear and transparent.

He lowered the phone’s volume. “You’ve always been beautiful, Deirdre. I didn’t react back then because Silence. His phone stopped speaking for him. Deirdre had not had the time to wonder what had happened when she felt him slowly inching close.

She could feel his breath beating on her. She felt a tightening in her chest. Her eyelashes were trembling- and then, she felt his soft lips gently caressing her lashes.

It was as quick as a dragonfly’s touch on a pond-his warmth faded as quickly as it descended. But she could feel how much care he put into her. His breathing had become a bit more labored.

He released her. “Because my reaction would have been inappropriate… It would have been intimate.

Like just now.”

Deirdre’s mind blanked. Her grip tightened around the tickets.

“So, I tried my best not to think about how beautiful your eyes are,” he typed. “Don’t ever put yourself down, Deirdre. You’ve always been wonderful.”

She had always been… wonderful?

Deirdre’s chest was glowing with warmth. He lit a fire in her, and it was taking away her breaths. She had thought her life was over and done. She never expected herself to be found, cared for, and loved.

She never expected anyone to think she was wonderful.

“I m-made up my mind,” she murmured, her quiet voice unable to disguise her resolve. The edge of her eyes was wrinkled. “Kyran, would you like to go to the amusement park with me?”

Kyran gazed at her softly. There was not a moment he wasted in his reply. “The pleasure is all mine.”

The time for their trip was tomorrow morning. The first thing Deirdre did after waking up was to call Declan to inform him that he didn’t need to come for her later.

“So, I’m guessing you two decided to go out?”

“Yea,” she replied. “I’ll be extra careful, so Kyran won’t get hurt. We won’t do anything extreme, I promise.”

Declan laughed. “Frankly, I don’t give a damn about him. It’s you I am rather worried about! Remember to follow Kyran anywhere you go, okay? Don’t wander off on your own!”

She remembered the stalker incident from before and felt her heart tightening a little. “Got it.”

“And this is my cue to hang up. Happy dating!”

With that, Declan hung up, leaving Deirdre frozen in her seat. ‘Dating!?”

Her cheeks were burning so much that she wondered if her mask could really cover them. She looked up instinctively, unsure whether Kyran had heard him or not She might not know it, but Kyran had heard every word. His eyes were smiling. The only reason he managed to hide his joy was that the mechanical voice from his phone sounded flat.

“Let’s get changed. Time to go.”

“Right.” Deirdre hung her head, grabbed her clothes, and got changed. They hailed a cab outside the hospital.

The journey was long, and the driver was the kind who would take advantage of the distance and prattle good-naturedly. “Gonna enjoy yourselves in the amusement park, huh, love birds?”

Deirdre was flustered by his word choice and looked down. “H-He’s not my boyfriend!”

Her protest was too soft to overpower the sound of the car radio. The driver simply continued. “That amusement park is a newly built one, I heard, so you should expect a huge crowd now. But it’s a pretty good place to hang out. You can see the sea from the highest spot on the Ferris wheel! Oh, beautiful as h* ck.

“And the roller-coaster there, woohoo! I got a ride with my honey, and let me tell you, it was just therapeutic being thrown around like that! Just grab your boyfriend’s arm and close your eyes, miss, and you won’t have anything to be afraid of anymore!”
