Chapter 726 What an Uncultured Woman You Are âYeah.â Deirdre felt a pang of pain shoot through her chest. She was confident that Kyran must have gone through a lot as well.
âThis is the result of his efforts. It wasnât easy for him to get where he is today.â
âYeah.â Tobey averted his gaze. Suddenly, he remembered something and chuckled.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âDo you remember Jamie?â
âYeah.â According to Deirdreâs memory, Jamie was a cheerful young man who liked to help other people.
âInitially, he planned to invite the two of us to a meal today. But he suddenly thought of something, so he went back to Neve after his mission was over.â
âWhat did he think of?â
Tobey continued indifferently. âHe said that he felt Kyran was familiar and he seemed to have seen him before in Neve. He remembered that he had a photo of him on his old phone, so he went back to get it.â
Deirdre was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled. âHe mustâve mistaken Kyran for someone else. Kyran only works in Eastgene and Germia. He has only heard of Neve before, so thereâs no way Jamie could know him.â
âThatâs what I told him too, but heâs very stubborn and he insists that heâs right, so I just let him be.â
Deirdre laughed.
Then, Eilis served them a table of dishes. When she brought the dishes out of the kitchen, she asked Deirdre where Kyran was.
Deirdre remembered that Kyran had gone out in a hurry that morning. She hesitated for a moment before she said, âHeâs been busy with work these days. Let me give him a call.â
âOkay, you should go call him. Even if heâs busy with work, he has to eat too.â
Deirdre found a quiet spot and called Kyran. Unfortunately, she could not get through to him even though she had made a few calls. She returned to the house and said, âKyran said heâs busy, so heâs not coming.â
Eilis shook her head in disappointment, and then Tobey said gently, âMom, he owns a big company. He has to handle more than a hundred documents every day, so itâs normal that heâs busy and not as free as normal people like us. You donât have to worry about her.â
âSigh⦠Iâm just worried that Deirdreâ¦â Eilis swallowed the second half of her sentence and changed the topic. âAnyway, letâs eat!â
After they finished their meal, Tobey suggested taking Deirdre and Eilis out for a walk.
All of them then went downtown. They went shopping and watched a movie. After doing that, they took Eilis for a haircut.
Eilis was satisfied with her new hairstyle, and when she asked them how much it cost, both Deirdre and Tobey decided not to tell her the real price.
âAbout ten dollars.â
âTen dollars? That was expensive! The hair salon at the entrance of the village can get it done for a dollar.â
Deirdre said, âWell, you did not just have a haircut. You permed your hair too. Perming is definitely more expensive.â
Eilis nodded in understanding. As she checked her new hairstyle through the mirror, the shopkeeperâs enthusiastic voice suddenly came from the side.
âMs. McKinney, come in, please!â
Then, Deirdre heard a sharp and loud voice that she would never forget in her life.
âWhere is the hair stylist that I made an appointment with?â
âHeâs right inside waiting for you.â
Deirdre clenched her fists. She had not expected to run into Charlene here. It seemed to her that the world was truly small.
There was nothing she could do other than try her best to avoid making eye contact with Charlene. It would be fine if she was alone, but Tobey and Eilis were with her now, so she wanted to avoid getting into trouble.
Just as she turned around, Eilis got up to fix her hairstyle. She stretched her elbow back a bit and bumped right into Charleneâs face.
Charlene flew into a rage when she was elbowed by Eilis in the face. When she turned around and saw Eilisâ outfit, she said exasperatedly, âWhatâs wrong with this hair salon? It seems to me that your quality and standards are getting lower and lower. How can you allow an uncultured woman like her in here?â
