Chapter 556 From Now On, Iâm Your Husband âWhat?â
âIâm asking you if your condition involves only a date, right?â
Brendan could not refrain from chuckling as if he was making fun of her sensitive emotion. âOr else?â
âAt night⦠Iâm not going to sleep with you.â
The other end of the call was quiet momentarily as soon as she made the remark. Soon afterward, he laughed sarcastically and said, âAre you doing this so you can keep your chastity for the man?â
Deirdre shut her eyes tightly. She did not want to quarrel with Brendan on this issue.
âI just donât want to be touched by someone like you.â
Brendan was stunned for a moment before he sneered and said, âSomeone like me? What kind of person am 1?â
Deirdre did not answer, and he did not inquire further. He said, âDonât worry about this, Miss McKinnon.
Iâve encountered way too many women who are prettier than you with better bodies. Iâm not interested.
when they push themselves against me, let alone you. Weâre just going on a date, and that is all.â
He said it in contempt, yet his remark calmed Deirdre.
âWhen are we going on a date?â
Brendan said, âYour call came too suddenly Iâm still in Neve now. Letâs do it tomorrow. Iâll pick you up.â
âHmm.â
Deirdre ended the call eagerly. She only regained her calmness when she could no longer hear Brendan.
She would go on a date with Brendan to get the divorce, yet she would not do anything more that betrayed Kyran. Everything would be settled when their date ended, and they would not be connected anymore.
The next afternoon, Brendan showed up at the mansionâs door just as he had promised.
Deirdre was halfway through cutting vegetables when she received the call. She wiped her hands on the apron and headed upstairs to change into a warmer outfit.
The air was slightly humid when she opened the door to go outside. She walked further ahead and smelled the manâs perfume scent from the blowing wind.
She asked with a cold expression and her palm covering her cheek, âWhere are we going?â
âI donât know how others go on a date, but since itâs already dusk now, weâll just grab some food at the Waterfront Mall.â Brendan grabbed her wrist and said, âIâll lead you to the car.â
He wanted to lead her to the passenger seat, but Deirdre struggled free from his grip instinctively. By the time he came to realize the situation, he looked at her coldly.
Deirdre said with her face pale. âI can walk by myself. I donât need you to guide me.â
âYou canât even stand me holding you?â he said in a displeased tone.
Deirdre said, âItâs not that I canât stand it. It would be better for us to keep a distance in view of our relationship.â
Brendan burst out in laughter, but his laughter did not sound sincere. âOur relationship? Whatâs our relationship, huh? Are we not legally married husband and wife? Deirdre, donât forget that you married me willingly four years ago. In fact, you did it without naming any terms and conditions. Yet, you are in such a rush to disassociate with me?â
âYou mentioned that it was in the past too.â Not a change could be seen in Deirdreâs gaze. âI was blinded in the past.â
Brendanâs expression turned icy instantly.
Deirdre stopped speaking. She was planning on feeling her way to the passenger seat. As soon as her hand touched the ice-cold car window, Brendan suddenly stretched out his hand and took it upon himself to interlace his fingers with hers.
Their fingers interlaced, and the manâs hand was radiating coldness. Deirdre could not help shivering.
Brendan!â
âDeirdre, I donât have the time to play your game.â Brendan interrupted her and spoke in an extremely cold. tone. âSince it is a date, you should understand my intentions and behave accordingly to my preference. From now on, Iâm your husband. You will also need to treat me like you did in the past.
Youâre going to hold back your displeasure now, no matter how disgusted you are by me.â
âOtherwise, youâre just going to dampen my excitement when you resist even my physical touch! Why would I want to continue the date with you, and why should I fulfill your wish to get a divorce if that were the case?â
Deirdreâs eyes were bloodshot from anger.
