Chapter 536 Was That Voice Ms. McKinnon It was at this moment that Kyran came down with a towel in his hand. When he saw Deirdre answering the phone belonging to Brendan, his face turned white in an instant.
âDeirdre! Whoâs calling?â asked Kyran nervously as he hurriedly went down the staircase and stared at Deirdre.
Deirdre handed him the phone. âI donât know. It might be someone calling the wrong number because thereâs no voice at the other end.â
Kyran received the phone, took a glance at the name on the screen, hung up the phone, and said, âItâs indeed a wrong number as I donât recognize it.â
Deirdre nodded. Following that, she asked with confusion, âSince when do you have two phones? Why didnât I know that?â
Kyran usually switched off the phone belonging to Brendan and locked it in a drawer. He would usually switch it on to make a call only when needed. He had brought it out today because he needed it, but he didnât expect to receive a call while he was taking a shower.
Kyran forced himself to be calm and recollected. âMy phone accidentally got wet, and the receptor didnât work very well. Thus, I bought a phone when I went out today.â
âOh, so thatâs the phone you bought today.â Deirdre was convinced.
She felt she shouldnât have thought too much.
âDo you think the vase of flowers on the table is beautiful?â She shifted the focus to the bouquet.
Seeing the flowers he had personally plucked in the vase, Kyran was pleased. âYes, itâs indeed beautiful.â
âThey should be able to last longer by putting them in a vase on a table.â While touching the petals with her hands, she could feel some were still stained with morning dew, and she enjoyed the sweet fragrance of the flowers too. âItâs getting late. Are you hungry yet?â
âYes.â
âLet me cook you spaghetti.â Deirdre carefully put away the vase of flowers and went into the kitchen.
The last hint of a smile disappeared from Kyranâs eyes. Frowning, he stared at the phone. He paced to a side and redialed the number.
Soon, the other party answered the call, and Samâs excited voice sounded. âMr. Brighthall! Was that the voice of Miss McKinnon? So, this is the reason you arenât returning to Neve. She is not dead, right?
You found her?â
Kyran kept looking in the direction of the kitchen as he replied indifferently, âThis is beyond your duty.â
There was a sudden silence, and Samâs voice became hoarse. âWhy didnât you tell me? I thought she was dead, I thought-â
âSam, just take it as if she is dead because she will never return to Neve, and Iâll not take her back either. Sheâll have a better new life,â warned Kyran with his voice raised.
Sam felt a lump in his throat, and his chest tightened. However, it might be a good thing for Deirdre.
âAnything for calling?â said Kyran.
Suppressing the suffocating feeling, Sam said slowly, âYouâll have to come backâ¦â
After listening to Samâs explanation, Kyranâs face turned gloomy, and his eyes betrayed his mixed feelings. After recollecting himself, he said, âIâll give you the address. Come and pick me.â
Kyran then ended the call, went into the kitchen, and saw Deirdre with her hair tied up, carefully preparing the seasoning. Kyran reached out his hands and hugged her from her back.
Upon smelling Kyranâs fragrance after taking a shower, Deirdre smiled. âDid you finish the phone call?â
âDid you hear it?â
âYes, a little bit. I heard you were talking with somebody.â
With complicated feelings, Kyran said, âLetâs have our meal first.â
âOh, sure. Then, Iâll serve the spaghetti first. The spaghetti is tasty only when served hot.â
