Chapter 724 Iâll Be Mad if I Have the Audacity to Take His Woman Jamie feigned his anger. âWhat do you mean? Do I look like that kind of person who takes advantage of women by shaking their hands?â
Deirdre could not help laughing. She took it upon herself to extend her hand. âHello, Jamie.â
Jamie was chivalrous indeed. He loosened his grip over her soon after they shook hands. Then, he asked enthusiastically, âAre you from here, Deirdre? Do you know of any good places to eat here? The three of us should go grab some lunch, my treat!â
âSheâs not living here. Moreover, she has been living in Neve for a few years, so Iâm sure that she wouldnât know about the food scene here.â
âNeve?â Jamie was surprised. âIâve returned to Neve for three to four years since I finished graduate school, but Iâm actually unaware of such a beautiful girl living in Neve. It seems that Iâve been staying at home for too long.â
He was only joking, but Deirdre was thinking way too much.
It was normal for Jamie not to notice her presence because she had been hated by everyone five years ago, forced to go into prison, and spent very little time going out because she lost her sight afterward, especially after meeting Brendan againâ¦
Deirdreâs gaze dimmed as she thought about the man that haunted her for a longtime.
Jamie said, âI shall be the host today by taking all of you to lunch then.â
Tobey explained on behalf of Deirdre, âForget it. Deirdreâs boyfriend is coming to pick her up.â
âBoyfriend?â
Speaking of the devil!
The glass door opened the next moment. Kyranâs 1.8-meter-tall, muscular figure drew the attention of many people. His hair was combed back casually, and his dark eyes exuded coldness. His facial features were flawlessly handsome, and he exuded a presence that kept people at bay, yet people could not take their eyes off him.
Someone inhaled sharply in the surroundings, but Kyran acted normal. He looked around, and his gaze landed on Deirdre.
He walked over, and Tobeyâs gaze turned colder. He kept a hand in his pocket.
Kyran did not express his hostility in an obvious manner this time. On the contrary, he had a faint smile on his face. He nodded to greet Tobey. âMr. Russell.â
Then, he wrapped his arm around the womanâs slender waist and pulled her closer to him while he asked, âWhy are you standing?â
Deirdre explained, âTobeyâs friend is here.â
âFriend?â
Kyran shifted his gaze to look toward Jamie and nodded to greet him.
Jamie was stunned. He furrowed his eyebrows and expressed his confusion. In the end, he could not refrain from asking, âWhat is your name, sir?â
Kyran paused for a moment. âReed.â
âReed?â Jamie appeared conflicted. Soon afterward, he smiled and said, â Thatâs a good last name.â
Kyran nodded nonchalantly and disregarded the matter.
Deirdre said, âTobey, Jamie, we shall take our leave first.â
âHmm. Stay safe and keep in touch for the next two days.â
âSure.â
Deirdre and Kyran walked away while Jamie was still constantly distracted from staring at them.
Tobey teased him. âWhy are you still having trouble parting with her when sheâs already long gone? You canât have fallen in love with Deirdre for real, right? Iâm warning you that her boyfriend is definitely not a kind man.â
âIâm aware of that, of course!â Jamie cleared his name by saying, âHer boyfriend wears a watch that costs more than 150,000 dollars. He is on a totally different level, and Iâll be mad if I have the audacity to take his woman!â
âWhy were you looking at her then?â
Jamie said with a frown, âI was looking at Mr. Reed.â 1 Tobey shifted his gaze to Jamieâs face upon hearing that. He said meaningfully, âI wasnât aware of your sexuality. It was no wonder you used to pester me to shower with me during university.â
âF*ck you!â Jamie was furious.
Tobey burst out laughing aloud and said, âSo, why were you constantly staring at him then? Could it be that youâre acquainted with him?â
