Chapter 781 You Told Brendan!?
Deirdre took a deep breath.
She did not expect Brendan to tell Julia everything. After all, he was the one who loathed their relationship the most.
âJulia⦠Please calm down first. Iâll explain to you.â
âOf course, you have to explain to me,â Julia said, her eyes widening.â Thatâs why Iâm here! Why did you leave Brendan for this guy?â
âNo⦠Youâve got it wrongâ¦â Deirdre let out a bitter smile. She was never the one who left Brendan. He was the one who had abandoned her.
âThis is a bit complicated, so Iâll make it simple for you. Long story short, we donât love each other anymore. If you have been paying attention to Brendan, you should know that he already has a fiancee, and her name is Charli McKinsey.
âWe were indeed married before, but weâve already gotten a divorce. He and Charli are the ones who really love each other. He cares about me because Iâm pregnant. He wants my child, and thatâs something I wonât let happen again.â
âAgain?â
Deirdre gnashed her teeth and continued painfully. âMy first child was dead before it was born, and heâs the one who caused it!â
Julia was stunned, her eyes wide in disbelief, âHow⦠How is that possible? Thatâs your child! Why would he do that to you?â
âThatâs because he loves Charli, so he has to get rid of my child,â replied Deirdre. âIf you donât believe in me, you can go ask your grandfather or just ask around. Brendan had a fiancee three years ago. If sheâs his fiancee, who do you think Iâm to him?
Julia did not expect the whole thing to be so complicated. She pulled her phone out and decided to confirm the authenticity of Deirdreâs story herself. She came from Neve, so she had some friends there. She was dumbfounded when she got the same answer as what Deirdre told her.
âIf Brendan doesnât love you anymore, then why is he doing this?â
âI donât know. Maybe he needs an heir.â
It did not seem to Julia that Deirdre was lying. However, when she thought of how much Brendan loved Deirdre through his words, she became confused again and said, âBut⦠It seems to me that Brendan loves you very muchâ¦â
âBut he loves another woman at the same time as well. Would you accept a man like that?â
Julia was rendered speechless. Then, her face suddenly turned pale as she said, âOh gosh! I think Iâve done something wrong!â
Deirdreâs brain went blank after she heard what Julia said. Before she could do anything, someone knocked on the door urgently.
Her heart sank, and she grabbed at Juliaâs sleeve. âJulia, you told Brendan!?â
â⦠Iâ¦â Julia stammered. âI just told him Iâd let him know after getting an explanation from you. But I didnât realize that heâs been following meâ¦â
Deirdre was stunned. A shiver rushed down her spine, and her blood turned cold. As she listened to the series of knocking on the door that was getting heavier and heavier, her face turned bloodless, and she stood frozen stiff.
âI didnât know about it⦠I thought you were lying to me, so I was angry! I didnât do it on purpose!â Julia said nervously, âWhat about this? Iâll go open the door and stall him off to buy you some time. Maybe Brendan will believe in me. I wonât tell him that youâre here.â
Deirdre clenched her fists tightly. That was the only way now. She rushed back to her own room. The knocking on the door continued, and it sounded like the death knell from hell.
Julia gulped and went over to hold the handle, âComing,â she said and opened the door. As soon as the door was opened, a figure rushed in.
