Chapter 691: Chapter 692

Chapter 692 Who Are You?

‘Yes, o-of course. That is not an issue, for sure. However, are you sure that you want to go home by yourself? Shall I send you?”

Deirdre shook her head and declined by saying, “I’m fine. I’ll just get a cab home and inform Glenna about it later . If they ask about me, please tell them I’m not feeling well.”

Whelan did not comment further because he assumed that Deirdre wanted some quiet time to be alone. “Sure.”

“Thank you.”

Deirdre hailed a cab, got into the car, and felt an intense feeling of fatigue washing over her until she felt suffocated.

She leaned her head against the window and reached into her pocket without her notice. She could tell from the dim light of her phone that her phone was still working.

However, she had yet to receive Kyran’s call after a long time.

“What time is it, sir?”

The driver answered, “It’s almost 9:00 p.m.”

‘It’s so late already? Could it be that Kyran is still driving?’

It was perhaps a good thing, so Deirdre did not ponder further.

Soon, Deirdre unlocked the door of the mansion when she arrived home. She headed to the kitchen in preparation to cook.

She thought about how Kyran would be delighted to find a freshly-cooked meal on the table upon his return.

Deirdre was in a better mood as she thought about this. There was still no commotion from the door when she served a three-course meal on the table.

She wiped her hands and chose to call up Kyran. However, the call was not picked up after two attempts.

Deirdre was stunned for a moment. Then, she called up Declan.

“Do you mean Kyran?” It was apparent that Declan fell silent for a moment on the call.

Deirdre asked during the momentary silence, ‘You don’t have any update from him either, huh?”

Declan answered, “I’m not working on the Village Alnwick project, but Fionn and Kyran are visiting there. I shall call up Fionn and ask about it later. What’s going on? Is Kyran still not home yet?”

‘Yes. I can’t reach his phone, and he’s not back yet.” Deirdre was having a hard time hiding her anxiety.

“The road to Village Alnwick is arduous, and I’m worried that…”

“It’s going to be fine.” Declan comforted her by saying, “It’s not raining or snowing now, so the road is not arduous. They’re most probably delayed by some issues in Village Alnwick, and Kyran is coincidentally at a spot with bad reception. I shall help you to reach out to the staff members in Village Alnwick.”

“Sure.” Deirdre took a deep breath and said, “Thank you for taking the trouble to do this.”

After hanging up the call, Deirdre did not choose to wait idly and called Kyran’s number again.

She was surprised when the call was picked up after a few rings.

Deirdre was delighted. “Kyran! Where are you now? When are you coming back?”

The other end of the call was silent.

Deirdre was stunned for a moment. “Kyran?”

There was still only silence, but a faint breathing sound could be heard. She was certain that the breathing sound was not Kyran’s.

Deirdre was riled up. ‘Who are you?”

Meanwhile, a male voice was heard coming from a nearby area. “I got you the item. Where would you want it to be placed?”

The voice sounded slightly distorted in the phone call, and it came from a distance. However, Deirdre was extremely certain that the person speaking was Kyran!

Why would his phone be in another person’s hand? Why would the person who picked up the call not speak? The breathing sounded like a woman’s! Why would Kyran allow another woman to touch his phone?

Deirdre’s mind was a chaotic mess. She wanted to inquire closely, but the call was hung up.

Brendan looked at Charlene’s hands that were tucked behind her and narrowed his eyes. ‘What are you hiding behind?”

Charlene blinked and feigned her innocence. “What am I hiding behind- Oh!”
