Chapter 202 An Exorbitant Demand Brendan had always thought that Deirdre looked beautiful. He used to believe that he had this thought just because she looked like Charlene. Nevertheless, his thought remained unchanged even th ough Deirdre had been disfigured for a long time.
Deirdreâs mouth was open, but she couldnât say a single word. She only felt awkward. As she tried to ch ange the topic, the child in her embrace began to cry, grabbing her collar without any intention of letting go.
âWhat is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?â Deirdre got nervous but she didnât lose her cool. She patte d the back of the child with one hand while touching the childâs forehead with the other.
She did it in one go, and the little girl in her embrace stopped crying.
Brendan felt rather dazzled while watching Deirdre. He inexplicably wondered how good it would be if this child was theirs!
In that case, even if Deirdre learned about the death of her mother, she would live for the sake of the ch ild. He wouldnât allow her to suffer continuously provided that she lived a good life.
âBrendan? Brendan?â
As soon as Brendan recollected himself, he realized that Deirdre had called his name a couple of times . Hence, he immediately replied, âIâm here. What is it?â

What a shame!â
The child started to cry. Deirdre was forced to retreat and fell backward. Fortunately, Brendan reacted f ast enough to prevent her from falling. With a frigid expression, he glared at the couple.
âWe, trying to kidnap a child? Donât you know where you left your child? If we had been any later, sheâd have died of suffocation.â
âWhat the hell are you talking about!â The young man reprimanded him with bloodshot eyes. âWatch you of your business!â
Meanwhile, the man saw the shattered window of his car. Infuriated, he yanked Brendanâs arm and snar police!â
Deirdre turned pale while hearing the nonâstop accusations of the couple. She hadnât expected that these two would be so shameless.
Brendan took a glance at the car and shot back with disgust on his face, âIs your car worth 40,000 dollars? Why would you make such an exorbitant demand?â
The womanâs expression suddenly changed. Meanwhile, the man was so infuriated that he tried to lunge intimidating aura and height, he retreated and said with a stubborn tone, âI want you to pay for the damage regardless! Otherwise, Iâll take you to t
