Chapter 148 In the Room All by Themselves.
Deirdreâs eyes were bloodshot, and she bit her lower lip tightly. âI didnâtâ¦â
âCharlene shuts herself in the room and refuses to eat now because of you, and youâre still stubbornly denying it?â Brendan was laughing from anger, his eyes bursting with coldness. âI thought you were begging for Sam to come back? Sure, if you can make Charlene forgive you, Iâll let bygones be bygones!â
âMake Charlene forgive me?â
Deirdre felt her heart wrench in pain violently. He wanted her to beg the woman who killed Bliss for forgiveness? More importantly, Charlene would never let her off easily after seizing the opportunity with great effort.
Brendan sneered. âHow is it? Do you still want your Sam back?â
He used the words âyour Samâ to mock her.
Deirdre swallowed the bitterness in her throat, but her heavily damaged heart was still hurting. She could not care anymore. Would she still be afraid of being tormented when she had almost lost her life?
âSure, Iâll seek Charleneâs forgiveness if you can keep your word.â
Brendanâs dark eyes burst with coldness as he walked downstairs with strides. Right before he left, he said to Sawyer at the door, âSend her to Charleneâs villa at five in the evening. Youâre not allowed to take her home if Charlene doesnât forgive her.â
It was Sawyerâs first time seeing Brendan lose his temper in that way. Brendan had always been a reserved person. Even if he was angry, he would keep quiet, and that made Sawyer find Deirdre event more astonishing.
He wondered who Deirdre was to Brendan, as not even Charlene could affect Brendan in this manner.
He ordered Sawyer to send Deirdre at five, but it was only ten minutes apart from his departure time.
Sawyer helped Deirdre get into the car and took a seat in the driverâs seat. He could not refrain from saying, âWhat was Mr. Brighthall thinking when he insisted on me sending you over, Miss McKinnon?
Wasnât he heading there as well? Wouldnât it be more convenient for you to tag along with him?â
Deirdre was caught in a daze, yet she heard Sawyerâs remark absentmindedly. She chuckled in a self-
mocking manner. âIt is because he refuses to sit with me in the car, not even for just a short ten-minute car ride, of course.â
The carâs engine was started. Sawyer was not Sam, so he was not very good at choosing his words.
Soon, he could not stand the boredom and began to strike up a conversation by saying, âMiss McKinnon, I heard most of the conversation between Mr. Brighthall and you on the second floor earlier.
You were bad at pleasing him because you constantly talked back to him. It would be unusual for Mr.
Brighthall not to be pissed off. Youâre Mr. Brighthallâs woman anyhow, so you should behave yourself appropriately, and thatâs not going to be bad for you, right?â
âBehave myself?
Deirdre lowered her gaze and batted her eyelashes. âAm I not behaving myself enough yet? Iâm a competent zombie who suppresses all negative emotions and never speaks out of turn. Yet, will anyone let me off after doing all that?
âBrendan refuses to let me off, and Charlene is even more unwilling.â
She pressed her face against the icy cold window and said calmly, âIâm not Mr. Brighthallâs woman. Itâs Charlene.â
She had to set Sawyerâs remark straight. Otherwise, Brendan would think that she was brainwashing the bodyguard to indulge in wishful thinking.
Sawyer said in astonishment, âYouâre not? What is your relationship with Mr. Brighthall, then?â
Deirdre did not manage to answer before the car was stopped. She asked, âHave we arrived?â
âYes, weâre here. Mr. Brighthallâs car is parked in the yard, so I believe that he has already headed into the house.â
Deirdre opened the door and got out of the car, and Sawyer led Deirdre to the door. As soon as the doorbell was rung, a servant came, and her gaze changed ever so slightly at the sight of Deirdre.
âWho are you?â
Sawyer took it upon himself to say, âThis is Miss McKinnon, and she wishes to meet Miss McKinney.â
The servant said shyly, âIâm sorry. Miss McKinney and Mr. Brighthall are in the room by themselves.
Moreover, Miss McKinney especially gave orders for us servants not to disturb them.â
