Chapter 324 Suspected Him The answer was obvious to Deirdre.
Otherwise, Kyranâs act of taking away the yam pastry she was allergic to would be inexplicable.
However, she couldnât explain why Brendan would stand by her side like a stranger and do nothing elseâ¦.
Therefore, she went to the restroom and washed her hands repeatedly until she was calm.
She followed the wall and walked out of the restroom. Someone who followed after saw her. âDeirdre?â
Deirdre turned in the direction of the voice and recognized the voice as the village chief.
âDeirdre, whatâre you doing here?â
âIâm here to take some rest.â
âReally?â The village chief pondered. âAnyway, itâs great that you happen to be out here. Iâve been wondering how to talk to you in private.â
Hearing the village chiefâs tone, Deirdre had a hunch that something was wrong. She paused before asking. âWhat is it?â
âDid you argue with Mrs. Boebert earlier today?â
Deirdre nodded and tried to explain, âIt was because-
âDeirdre, I donât want to know the reason. You should know that Mr. King values the piece of land behind us, and he is willing to develop it as a resort. This is a golden opportunity for us. Your act has negatively affected our village. Moreover, Mrs. Boebertâs health is poor. If she becomes too sick just because of rage, and if that developer learns of this matterâ¦â
Deidre was silent.
The village chief patted her shoulder. âDo take note of this. Iâll return to the room first.â
Deirdre stood at the spot when the village chief left. She felt the cold breeze and disappointment as she leaned on the wall.
She knew clearly that the village chief had said that because Mrs. Boebert was one of his extended family. Although it was normal for the village chief to show favoritism, she simply couldnât understand.
She thought she was right about that matter with Bobby.
She had been rooted on the spot until a man suddenly came toward her. Following that, she heard the mechanical sound of a mobile phone. âWhy are you out here?â
The man was Kryan.
Deirdre was surprised. Since she suspected Kryanâs identity, she resisted his approach.
Because she could reply, Kryan frowned. He reached out, but Deirdre shook him off as soon as he touched her fingertip.
Kryan was stupefied. So was Deirdre. She then explained, âIâm sorry. Iâm not used to someone suddenly touching me.â
âUnderstood.â Kryan typed and played one word and went on typing another. âAre you emotional?â
The sentence transferred by the phone sounded very strange. It sounded like a question but also like a certainty.
Deirdre lifted a corner of her lip. âHow do you know?â
âFrom your expression. Itâs gloomy.â
Deirdre touched her face. It was icy cold because she had washed it with cold water earlier.
âWhy?â
Deirdre didnât know how to answer because she couldnât say it was because of Kyran.
In fact, due to her suspicion that Kyran was Brendan, she was so afraid that her face became pale as a sheet. However, even if she asked, she wouldnât get an answer anyway.
âI just recalled something from the past and felt rather emotional. Donât worry about me.â
Kyran typed on his mobile phone again. But this time, he pondered for quite a long time and deleted all except the sentence: âIâm all ears whenever you want to speak.â
âOnly after Iâve calmed down.â Deirdre lowered her eyes. âLetâs just go back in.â
She felt sophisticated enough to stay with Kyran.
She didnât resist Kyran, but on the other side, she felt that Kyran was that man.
With all these thoughts running through her mind, she was left with only an answer. She had to verify it herself whether Kyran was Brendan.
