Chapter 555 Itâs Just a Date, Right Deirdre would not think this way in the past, so it was apparent that Kyran had spoiled her She could not refrain from making a call to Kyran.
The call was picked up after a long time. âDeirdre.â
His voice sounded hoarse, as if he had been smoking all night long.
Deirdre was momentarily stunned, and she could not help feeling concerned. âKyran⦠are you alright?â
âIâm alright. Why do you ask?â
Deirdre said, âYou sound very tired, like you havenât slept all night.â
Kyran paused for a moment before he said, âI havenât slept all night, indeed.â
âWhy? Is it because your fatherâs condition is not so good? Or is it because you have something else happening at work?â
Deirdre regretted not going to Germia with Kyran so she could monitor the situation over there.
She would not be how she was now, doing nothing at home but feeling anxious.
She sounded anxious.
Kyran chuckled and comforted her with a gentle voice by saying, âDonât fret. Iâm alright. Iâm the caregiver of my father in the hospital. Hmm, I havenât slept all night because I was taking care of my father.â
Deirdre could not help feeling guilty. âIt would be good if I were with you. I could take turns with you so youâd have time to rest.â
âI canât bear to let you do that.â Kyran smiled nonchalantly and fell silent for a moment before suddenly saying, âDeirdre, I miss you very much. I think about you all the time.â
Deirdre sniffed. Her eyes were stinging with tears, and she felt the urge to cry but was delighted in her heart.
âMe too! I, uh⦠miss you very much too, all the time. I sometimes dream about you, and I hope to see you soon.â
If this were in the past, Deirdre would most certainly have trouble speaking in this manner.
There was no telling if it was due to Brendanâs sudden appearance, but she was afraid she would have less of a chance to be with Kyran. As such, she could not care about being shy anymore.
The person on the other end of the conversation seemed stunned for a long time before he realized the situation.
Kyranâs voice turned gentler when he said, âWhatâs going on? What made our Miss McKinnon so straightforward that she would speak freely of her feelings?â
Deirdre felt her cheeks burning. âIf you find it strangeâ¦â
âWhy would I find it strange?â Kyran denied it and could not refrain from saying, âDeirdre, I havenât stopped smiling from the start to now.â
Deirdre lowered her head and felt warm and fuzzy in her heart at the thought of Kyran constantly smiling.
âItâs great that you like it.â
âI like it very much. I like it so much that I wish to leave everything on hand and come see you.â Kyran took a deep breath. âDeirdre, set your mind at ease and wait for my return.â
âHow long?â
Kyran said, âLess than a week.â
Deirdreâs gaze dimmed for a moment. It was not considered a long time, but it was not a short time either. She would not be able to discuss the divorce with Brendan when Kyran was back.
At the thought of her marriage with Brendan, Deirdre felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She forced herself to perk up by saying, âPromise to take care of yourself before you come back. Rest more so you can see me as your brand new self when youâre back.â
âSure, I promise.â
âGet some rest, quickly.â
âHmm.â
After ending the call, Deirdre was distracted.
She wanted to seize the opportunity to end her marriage when Kyran and Declan were away.
She made up her mind and procured the business card from the room. She felt for the number on the card and called up Brendan.
After a while, the call was picked up. It sounded slightly noisy, and there was no way to tell the personâs voice, but the tone of his voice was still as indifferent as usual.
âYou called me. Have you thought it through, Deirdre?â
Deirdre was not astonished by how Brendan knew her phone number, but she clutched her phone tightly and asked, âItâs just a date, right?â
