Chapter 722 I Wonder if Iâve Offended Someone Declan pondered for a moment.
Before he could answer, Glenna sneered and said, âMr. King, you make the act of sleeping with someone sound so refreshing and refined.â
Declan furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly. âThatâs not what I mean.â
Glenna asked, âWhat do you mean then? You donât love me, yet you want to take care of me as my boyfriend. What else are you trying to say if not this?â
She mocked herself by saying, âShould I feel honored that Iâm capable of charming Mr. King with my appearance and identity? I should be grateful that Iâm so blessed.â
Declan subconsciously shifted his gaze to the face and figure that Glenna was referring to.
The woman belittled herself improperly. In truth, Declan found her to be very pretty, and her figure was also quite amazing.
He swallowed a gulp of saliva without his notice. Declan said, âItâs possible that I spoke inappropriately without considering your feelings. What Iâm trying to say is that I know that Iâve disappointed you in some ways, so I am good with complying with you to make you happy. I can do many things with you as long as itâs for your happiness.â
âFor my happiness?â Glenna could not refrain from bursting out with laughter. She laughed so ferociously that her eyes were reddened with tears. She sniffed and said, âMr. King⦠Oh, Iâm sorry. Declan, youâre so good at insulting others.â
Even if Declan was trying to appease someone, he would never say something so blunt in view of his high emotional intelligence. In other words, he was insulting her repeatedly so she would know how he found her feelings for him ridiculous.
âIâm not.â Declan furrowed his eyebrows.
Glenna did not wish to listen to his explanation anymore. âDonât worry. Iâm best at knowing my limits. You donât need to remind me over and over again. I donât have feelings for you anymore.â
Declanâs gaze changed rapidly when she said that.
Meanwhile, Whelan walked out of the company building. âGlenna, I saw you standing at the door for a long time. Why havenât you come inside yet?
Youâre going to be late for the meeting. Arenât you worried that the devil is going to chastise you?â
Glenna avoided Declanâs gaze, composed herself, and said, âIâve almost forgotten about the meeting. Letâs go.â
âHmm.â
The man walked side by side with Glenna. Declan narrowed his eyes as he witnessed the scene that he found to be an eyesore.
âDeirdre, I apologize that I have to be the bad person in this scenario. The woman in the photo is not Mrs. McKinnon.â
Deirdreâs mind went blank for a moment. âNo? Could you please look closely again?
Is it really not her? You went to study abroad in high school, so itâs possible my mother has changed, and you canât recognize herâ¦â
âDeirdre.â Tobey considered and said, âMrs. McKinnon is my godmother too. I wouldnât mistake her for someone else. Perhaps you can keep the photo for yourself and attempt to search for an answer by yourself when you can see.â
Deirdreâs eyes were filled with anxiety. She shook her head and said, âItâs fine. Itâs possible that Iâm overthinking the situation. How can a dead person possibly be resurrected? If she was still alive, thereâs no reason why she shouldnât come and see me.â
Tobey ordered a dessert from the waitress and changed the topic of conversation.
âYou came in such a rush, so you havenât managed to eat yet, right? Letâs get some food in your belly so you wonât get sick.â
âThank you.â
Deirdre took a few bites, but the food was tasteless to her.
She did not show it, but she continued to chat with Tobey by asking him about work recently.
Tobey said jokingly, âSpeaking of work, I wonder if Iâve offended someone, to be honest.â
Deirdre was stunned. âWhy?â
âInitially, I completed a project, so I was given half a month of break from work. I was supposed to go home, but something happened to the project on my way home. Itâs not unusual for the project to be problematic, but the problem is the partner company suddenly picking a fault. They named me the only person to handle the project, which took up a lot of my time.â
Tobey smiled bitterly. âHowever, they were still fine before I went on a break.â
