Chapter 505: Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 506

Chapter 506 He Isn’t Mute “Kyran?” Deirdre said calmly, “He injured his vocal cords, so he became mute and can only communica te with us through the phone.”

“Mute?” Hoyt frowned. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Deirdre replied with a smile. “What’s the matter? Why does it sound like you’re implying something?”

Hoyt did not know how to put the question in his head into words. ‘If Kyran is mute, then why did Dad s ay he can talk?‘

His father was very confident of it, so the probability of him lying was close to zero. In other words, Kyran was lying to Deirdre.

Hoyt fell silent.

Deirdre was confused and asked, “Mr. Leigh? Why aren’t you talking?”

Hoyt looked at Deirdre. He did not know if he should tell Deirdre the truth or not. “Miss McKinnon, how long have you known Mr. Reed?”

“How long have I known him?” Deirdre counted with her fingers and replied, “It isn’t long. About three months or so.”

Even Deirdre herself was stunned for a moment when she said that. Deep inside her heart, she felt like she had known Kyran for a long time.

Perhaps he was very attentive. He knew everything that she did not like and had a perfect personality.

“Three months…” Hoyt gasped. “So you don’t know much about Mr. Reed?”

Deirdre froze. “Yeah…”

Other than his name, she knew nothing about him.

“Then what if…” Hoyt paused for a moment before finishing his sentence.

“What if Mr. Reed is lying to you? What would you do, Miss McKinnon?”

“Why would he lie to me?” Deirdre stopped in her tracks. “What’s the matter, Mr. Leigh? What are you s hilly -shallying for? And you’re speaking weirdly too.”

Hoyt hemmed and hawed for a moment before finally making up his mind. He looked at Deirdre and said, “Miss McKinnon, Mr. Reed isn’t mute!”

Deirdre froze when she heard what he said. After coming around to her senses, she chuckled. “Is this a prank, Mr. Leigh?”

“Of course it is not!” Hoyt took a deep breath and continued. “Mr. Reed had talked with my father before he found you. He isn’t mute! Not only my father but even my mother has heard him talking. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to ask them about it.”

Deirdre’s heart skipped a beat, and her head became blank.

When she returned to her senses, she still found his words hard to believe.

“Mr. Leigh…

It isn’t that I don’t want to believe you, but… do you think it’s possible that your parents misheard it? Th e person who talked could be Kyran’s friend. His name is Declan-”

“No.” Hoyt interrupted her and said without any hesitation, “I’ve confirmed it many times with my parents, so there’s no mistake. My father has also said Mr. Reed does n’t like talking much. Because of that, it left a deep impression on my father when Mr. Reed finally spoke.”

Deirdre fell silent as a surge of chill crept down her spine.

‘So… Kyran has been able to talk the whole time? Why doesn’t he talk to me, then? Why is he hiding it f me?‘

Thinking about the things they had gone through together, Deirdre froze.

“Miss McKinnon? Are you okay?” Hoyt regretted telling Deirdre the truth after seeing her bloodless face.

“It’s okay. In fact, I’m happy that you told me about it,” said Deirdre. Despite that, she still felt a bit of disc heart. “If not, I still wouldn’t know that he isn’t mute.”

“Maybe Mr. Reed has his own reason for not telling you about it.” Hoyt tried to comfort her.

Deirdre clenched her fists tightly. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn’t think of any reason that made him choose to become mute for the whole three months.

She pushed her thoughts aside and calmed herself down. She had promised Kyran she would believe in
