Chapter 404 It Feels Like Weâve Been Together Forever Despite wearing a mask over half of her face, Freya could tell from Deirdreâs beautiful eyes and her smooth, glowing skin that she was looking at a gorgeous beauty.
More importantly, there was no way Deirdre McKinnon, the freak, was this same young woman!
Arianne saw it, too. She perused the woman among the line-takers and questioned aloud, âUh⦠Is this the freak you mentioned?â
âOf course not!â Freya snapped. A flood of shock and anger washed over her She was shocked to see Kyran seeing another woman and angry that he had only used that ugly freak to reject her advance.
She knew it! That freak was a nobody from the start!
Kyran had gotten his purchase and returned to the young womanâs side He shielded her from the crowdâs less gentle pushes with such sweet devotion that Arianne could not stop herself from remarking, âI canât believe Iâm seeing this. Mr. Reed, famous for being reserved and quiet and asocial Being a sweet, caring gentleman to a woman like that! No way around it, sis They are with each otherâ
Envy shot up Freyaâs chest A thought came to her mind, and her lips curled into a smirk âHey, An? If you were that young woman over there, and you heard that your boyfriend has been in a relationship with a freak more hideous than pus, how would you feel?â
âIâd be freaking pissed.â Arianne blurted out âItâs like telling me Iâm as attractive as a repulsive freakshow!â
She stopped. Turning slowly to Freya, she said slowly. âEr, youâre not actually thinking Freya said nothing Biting her thumb, she scowled at the couple, her embittered eyes as lethal as daggers.
Deirdre quickly pulled her mask down to take a bite Suddenly, she felt something zeroing onto her back, as though she was being preyed upon, and turned around in discomfort âWhatâs wrong? Not to your taste?â Kyran asked, typing.
âNo. Itâs exactly what I love.â It was weird. She had never told him about her food preferences, and yet Kyran managed to buy just the things she liked. He had even gotten the right sauce.
âI love it,â she added, chuckling. âHonestly, sometimes I wonder if I am that much of an open book when it comes to food. You always get me exactly what I love, as if weâve been together forever.â
Kyranâs gaze softened. âLuck plays a big role, Deirdre. Or maybe itâs as Iâve said, weâre meant to be together.â
That came out of nowhere. Deirdre froze a little and blushed, remembering just where they were.
Fortunately, it was finally their turn, so the moment passed quickly.
Kyran helped her up a horse and picked one behind her.
Before it began, Kyran typed, âGrab tight. Donât fall.â
The voice came to her through her earpieces as though he was whispering in her ears. Stunned, she looked back and smiled. âDo I look like I was born yesterday, Kyran? If I could somehow fall off the carousel, Iâd seriously question my life!â
Her eyes creased from her grin. Kyran found himself staring at her for seconds before breaking himself out of the trance with a laugh. âAlright, alright! Youâre an adult who wasnât born yesterday, so grab on tight.â
He did not honestly believe Deirdre would not know how to do something this basic. It was, however, the feeling of being cared for that warmed the young womanâs heart.
The carousel began to spin, and the world waltzed along. It was one of the few times Deirdre got to experience some kind of thrill since losing her eyes. Brendan had accompanied her to an amusement park before, but she could never dare enjoy herself when he was around.
Now, though, she let her arms spread wide. She let herself bask in the wind and the cheers of people around her. If God truly felt bad for her and the life she had led, then she wished He would let this happy moment last forever.
The carousel stopped, but Deirdreâs craving did not feel sated. Her doe-eyes seemed to be glistening in joy.
When Kyran held her hand, she grabbed his back. âSo? Did I fall off or not?â
