Chapter 499 Sleep On the Same Bed Madame Leigh felt it strange as well.
âAre you sure about that?â Hoyt asked, âMr. Reed was using his phone to talk yesterday. Heâs mute, right?â
âI donât think so.â The village head frowned. âIâve heard his voice with my own ears. He was very cold and indifferent toward us. Whenever he opened his mouth, he would only be asking about Miss McKinnonâs whereabouts. Thatâs why I remember him so clearly.â
âMe too,â said Madame Leigh. âHe was talking to Mr. King that day, and I didnât see him using any phone at all.â
Hoyt was stunned. If that were the case, why was he using his phone when talking to Deirdre?
Also, if Kyran was not mute, wouldnât he feel inconvenienced talking to Deirdre using the phone? Or was he doing it on purpose? Was he hiding something from her?
Hoyt frowned and fell into deep thought.
The village head shrugged and said, âMaybe he isnât feeling well. Or he just doesnât feel like using his voice today. It is none of our business anyway Letâs go inside. The weather is getting colder, and it seems to me that itâs going to rain soon.â
âHoyt, go bring inside the clothes from the courtyard. Iâm going to get some vegetables from the farm for our dinner.â
Hoyt pressed down the suspicions in his heart and nodded. âOkayâ
A second earlier, it was a clear blue sky, but in the next second, the sky turned black, and it started to rain heavily after Deirdre and Kyran spent some time in Mrs. Coxâs house enjoying her cooking.
Mrs. Cox hastily closed the window and said, âWhat happened today? It rained so heavily out of the blue. Luckily Iâve already brought in all of my clothes. By the way, are you guys still going back? Itâs dangerous to drive on such a rainy day. Why donât you stay for a night?â
Mrs. Cox was right. The village was in a remote area, and most parts of the road were muddy and not asphalted. There was a mountain next to the road, so it was indeed dangerous to travel in the drizzle.
Listening to the thunder, Deirdre frowned and said, âYeah. Itâs really dangerous.â
âItâs decided then. Iâll go get the bed ready for you two,â Mrs. Cox said as she went to get the blanket and pillow from the cupboard.
Suddenly, Deirdre realized something. There were only two rooms in this house, and each room had only one bed.
Mrs. Cox slept in one room, so it meant thatâ¦
Her cheeks instantly turned red with embarrassment. Although they had been sleeping in the same room while Kyran was in the hospital, things were different at that time. They were in a hospital, so they wouldnât think of anything else. Besides, they were sleeping on two different beds.
âWhatâs the matter?â Kyran asked with his phone when he realized something was wrong with Deirdre.
Deirdre shook her head. âN-Nothing.â
âAre you sure?â He caressed her cheek with his finger. âAre you not feeling well? Why is your face so red?â
Deirdre was stunned and sprang up from her chair when Kyranâs finger touched her cheek.
âDeirdre?â asked Kyran.
âIâm going to wash my face.â
Deirdre calmed her head down with a bucket of cold water. Kyran did not care about it, yet there she was, acting all flustered. She was certain that Kyran would laugh at her if he learned of her thoughts.
âWeâre just going to sleep for a night. Itâs not that weâre going to do anything.â
She calmed herself down. When she came out of the kitchen, Mrs. Cox had already gotten the bed ready.
Deirdre and Kyran went over. At that moment, Kyran noticed there was only one bed. Not only that, but the bed was small. It went without saying that it was not a problem if Deirdre was sleeping alone, but things would be different if he was going to sleep with her on this bed.
Suddenly, Kyran understood why Deirdreâs face had turned red earlier. Even he would feel embarrassed when he realized that he was going to sleep side by side on the same bed with Deirdre.
It had been a long time since he had slept on the same bed with Deirdre. He did not know if he could hold himself back or not.
