Chapter 121 Returning to the Villa

He had no idea what it was, but it felt as if something was torn from his heart when it vanished so suddenly.

“Mr. Brighthall.” His driver was there to pick him up. “What happened?”

“Nothing.” He turned around and said, “Let’s go.”

Deirdre went straight to check on the box as soon as she woke up. Bliss was in there, but she could not see, so she could only feel around for the puppy with her hands. The puppy seemed to be sleeping and it would snore occasionally.

It was awakened upon sensing Deirdre’s presence and it licked her fingers while it barked twice. Deirdre chuckled because it really was adorable.

“Ms. McKinnon.”

Sam came in for his shift and felt pleased deep down to find Deirdre smiling at Bliss in the box. “Have you had breakfast?”

“I’m not in a rush to have breakfast.” Deirdre rubbed the puppy’s fur. “Let’s get some milk for it.”

Deirdre took the puppy outside to get some sun when it was full from the milk and satisfied. The sound of a car driving into the courtyard ahead was heard as she sat by the door.

Deirdre was stunned for a moment. The car drove until it was right in front of her and stopped a short distance away from her. Brendan’s voice could be clearly heard, and he sounded concerned. “Be careful when you get out of the car. Don’t hurt yourself.”

Charlene said tenderly, “I’m not that weak. Could I fall while taking a few steps toward the house? You’re making a big fuss out of a trivial matter.”

“I care about you.”

It was a harmonious, loving conversation, and Deirdre did not wish to eavesdrop. She held Bliss in her arms, ready to head into the house, when she heard Charlene’s

voice.

“Ms. McKinnon.” Charlene sounded like she was conflicted before she chuckled magnanimously. “it has been a long time since we last met each other.”

Deirdre’s expression was icy. Bliss began growling at Charlene in her arms for some

unknown reason, so Deirdre hastily covered its mouth.

Charlene appeared to be scared out of her wits. She backed away and leaned into Brendan’s arms, her eyes red with tears. She said with a fake smile, “Is that Ms. McKinnon’s new pet… It’s rather lively. Just a little terrifying.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Brendan’s dark eyes turned cold instantly. “Deirdre, train your dog properly. If it growls at Charlene again, we’re getting rid of it.”

Deirdre bit her lower tip tightly and returned to the living room swiftly to stuff Bliss into the box. She had no idea why Bliss would suddenly bark, as Bliss had always been mild-tempered. She comforted the puppy softly and took it to her room.

After leaving her room, she found Brendan and Charlene already engaged in a lively conversation in the living room. As she stood on the second floor, Deirdre was

unsure if she should head downstairs.

Brendan caught her off guard when he took a glance at her. “Are your legs broken, or have you lost your voice? Why aren’t you coming downstairs to greet us?”

Deirdre took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly for a short moment before she walked downstairs.

“Ms. McKinney.” Her gaze was lowered, and she still could not bring herself to say

sorry.

She could not reconcile herself with the situation and she felt aggrieved. It was obvious that Charlene had started everything but she was acting as though she was the victim in this situation and she was taking advantage of the benefits.

Brendan grew impatient from waiting, his expression turning gloomy at once. “What did I instruct you to do?”

Deirdre suppressed her tormented feelings and said slowly, “Ms. McKinney… I’m sorry for vilifying you over my injured hands. I’m sorry that you’ve been wronged despite being innocent and that I almost put you in harm’s way… I swear on my life that I shall die a tragic death if I do it again.”

Charlene’s eyes were smiling, but she feigned a magnanimous expression. “Don’t, Ms. McKinnon! You’re not supposed to swear on your life. I’ve already let bygones be bygones regarding that incident. After all, everyone surely makes mistakes. Besides, because of you, my relationship with Brendan keeps growing stronger.”

“You don’t need to flatter her,” Brendan said in an icy tone. “Our relationship has nothing to do with her and it won’t change in the slightest because of her.”
