Chapter 63 What Happened to My Mother âItâs because youâre in the way, of course. Your presence ruined the loving relationship between me and Brendan!â A moment later, Charlene chuckled, sounding like a show-off. âHowever, Brendan still cares about me very much. He chose to leave you injured and all alone in the hospital without the slightest concern. after finding out that I was displeased. He took me traveling around just to cheer me up, and I had a delightful time sharing a bedroom with him.â
She smiled with her head lowered, as if she was shy.
Deirdre could obviously feel the stinging pain in her chest, but it was not because she still had feelings for Brendan She had already given up, but that did not mean that she was dead. She found Brendanâs coldness and ignorance toward her malicious.
âSo youâre here today to show off your loving relationship with Brendan?â
Charlene sneered. âNo, of course not. Do I still need to show off my loving relationship with Brendan?
Iâm only here to tell you something out of kindness.â
She took a step forward. âYou still havenât gone through the divorce procedure with Brendan, right? It was delayed when you were imprisoned, but two months ago, Brendan promised me that he would go through the divorce procedure with you. when youâre discharged. Then, heâs going to marry me!â
Deirdre clutched her blanket so strongly that her knuckles turned white abruptly, but the expression on her face remained unchanged. âIs that so? Congratulations to you. I hope you can manage your husband properly from now on, so he wonât use me to satiate his desire for control.â
As soon as those words were spoken, the smile on Charleneâs face vanished, her gaze turning sinister.
âWhy are you boasting as though youâre proud of it, Deirdre? Brendan enjoys exercising control over you because it feels like heâs controlling a dog! When he grows bored of playing with the dog after a while, heâs going to treat you a thousand times worse than he does now!â
Deirdre cracked a smile. âI will be free when he grows bored of me. Thereâs nothing more agonizing than whatâs happening now.â
âWhat if he doesnât grow bored for the rest of his life?â Deirdre raised her head in a provocative manner. âAre you going to stand having your husband provide for me?â
âYouâ¦â
Charleneâs face turned pale at that thought. She had attempted to discuss this matter with Brendan before and sheâd wanted him to send Deirdre away, yet he had refused to give her an answer, so perhaps he would provide for Deirdre for the rest of his life.
At the thought of having Deirdre in her life, Charlene was furious beyond recognition. âDeirdre, Brendan is only providing for you as though youâre his pet, yet you still think youâre some hot sh*t? If you really had integrity, you would have already gotten away from Brendan. I assure you that you will end up in the same place as your dead mother if you come between me and Brendan!â
All the blood was drained from Deirdreâs face as she glared in Charleneâs direction strenuously. âWhat did you say?â
âWhat do you mean Iâll end up in the same place as my dead mother? My mother is getting treatment for her illness abroad, isnât she?â
Deirdre grew restless and asked impatiently, âCharlene, what do you mean by that? What happened to my mother?â
Charlene was stunned for a moment. Soon, she cracked a cruel smile. âSo it turns out that you have no idea, huh?â
She was about to speak slowly when the door opened abruptly. Brendan raised an eyebrow when he noticed Charlene. âCharlene? What brings you here?â
Charleneâs expression softened into a piteous look soon. âI knew that Ms. McKinnon would be discharged from the hospital today, so I dropped by to visit her out of concern, Brendan. However, it seems that Ms. McKinnon is not in a great mood, and Iâm fine with that.â
Brendan looked at Deirdre and found her in a high-strung mood. Her expression showed that she was angry, and he could not help expressing his agitation.
He felt even more displeased with her temper after not seeing her for two months.
