âItâs fine!â Deirdre said quickly. She wished she could bury herself in embarrassment and said softly, âI can walk⦠I havenât touched the ground for a long time, so my legs are slightly weakâ¦â
âIs that so?â Kyran held back his laughter when he spoke.
âIt must be because I was too hard on you last night. I didnât know that you were so fragile. Should I be more gentle next time?â
Deirdre was extremely embarrassed. âWhat do you mean next time? I donât understand.â
She wanted to run into the bathroom, but Kyran wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace first.
âWhy are you running away?â He kissed her forehead smilingly.
Deirdre bit her lower lip. âYouâre mean. You tease me when you know Iâm shy.â
âWhatâs there to be shy of when youâre going to be my wife in the future, and itâs only perfectly justified for us to do this?â Kyran bit her lip once and said, âOr are you telling me that I didnât please you enough?â
Deirdre had a hard time speaking.
She had no idea what the definition of âpleasingâ was, but she found that yesterday was indeedâ¦
enjoyable.
She buried her head in Kyranâs chest because she was too embarrassed.
Kyran caressed her hair and suddenly said, âIâm scared, Deirdre.â
âScared?â Deirdre was jolted back to reality and raised her head to ask,â Whatâs going on? Why are you scared?â
Kyran looked at Deirdreâs face with lust and said after a long time, âIâm scared that everything of mine will disappear eventually. I feel like Iâm a bad man who receives something that isnât supposed to be mine.â
âIsnât it supposed to be yours?â Deirdre blinked and stretched out her hand to touch Kyranâs face. âAre you referring to me?â
âHmm.â
Deirdre felt astonished upon receiving the answer. She felt rather and said with puffed up cheeks, âWhy do you feel that way? Kyran, I naturally belong to you. If not, why would Iâ¦â
She bit her lower lips.
Kyran regained his smile, and the dimness in his dark eyes vanished. He bit her lip.
âIâm joking with you.â
Deirdre felt relieved and punched him. âYouâve gone too far.â
Kyran held her hands and kissed her on the side of her lips.
Meanwhile, the doorbell downstairs suddenly rang.
âSomeoneâs here?â
Kyran loosened his grip . âItâs possibly Declan. However, didnât he mention that heâs going to Village Alnwick today?â
Deirdre was confused. Both of them went downstairs, with Kyran holding Deirdreâs hand.
He had just opened the door when Glennaâs voice was heard saying, âDeirdre, are you home? You almost scared me to death. I left you to rest for two days, yet you turned off your phone. You canât be ââ
Glennaâs voice halted to a stop instantly.
The smile on her face was frozen as she looked at the man before her.
Then, she was astounded and confused. âWhy are you here? Deirdre? Youâre not⦠Why are you still with him?â
âWhat?â Deirdre was stunned for a moment. She was extremely confused by Glennaâs reaction.
âDo you know Kyran?â
âWhoâs Kyran? Heâs not-â
âGlenna.â
All of a sudden, Declanâs voice came from behind her. He came in a rush and breathed heavily before saying, âDidnât I tell you to wait for me? Why did you come rushing over by yourself?â
Glenna looked at Kyran with wide eyes and then looked at Deirdre before answering, âI⦠I wanted to call Deirdre before coming and notify her, but I discovered her phone was turned off. She didnât pick up my call, and I was worried. Thus, I came first.â
Deirdre smiled and said, âI turned off my phone before the flight took off yesterday, and I forgot to turn it back on.â
