Chapter 334 Kyran Likes You âStop teasing me, Madame Russellâ¦â said Deirdre, her face turning red with embarrassment as she bit her lower lips.
Suddenly, the car stopped again, and a mechanical voice rang out. âWeâve arrived.â
âThank you so much, Mr. Reed,â Eilis said as she hastily opened the door. She did not know why, but she felt suffocated when staying in the car with Kyran. He had set his jaw tightly throughout the way, and it seemed to her that he was kind of unhappy. Suddenly, she realized something. She went to the back of the car and helped Deirdre get out of the car. Kyran asked through his phone, âHow are you going back later?â
Deirdre replied, âThere will be a bus trip to Alnwick at 5:00 p.m.â
âAt five? Thatâs too late.â Kyran frowned. Seeing that there was still some time left before 5:00 p.m., he continued. âI donât have anything to do now, so Iâll go with you guys. After Enter titleâ¦
that, Iâll send you back.â
Deirdre said, âYou donât have to do that-â
Before she could finish her sentence, Kyran interrupted her coldly. âIâve already decided.â
Since Kyran insisted, Deirdre had no other choice but to let him follow them.
Eilis did not interrupt their conversation and just stayed at the side to observe them. After they entered a shop, Kyran waited for them outside.
Eilis asked, âDeirdre, are you and Mr. Reed very close friends?â
âClose friends?â
Well, honestly, even Deirdre herself was not sure about that. She replied, âMr. Reed treats everyone like his good friend.â
âReally? I donât think so.â Eilis said in a low voice, âThe way Mr. Reed looks at you is different from other people. From the way he acts, I can see that heâs a cold person. Iâm pretty sure that youâre the reason heâs willing to come to the mall with us. Besides â
âBesides, Kyran appeared to be very upset while Deirdre was talking to Tobey on the phone.â
âBesides what?â asked Deirdre. Then, she smiled and said, âHe might look cold on the outside, but heâs actually a very nice person. Iâm sure you saw it during the feast that day, right?â
Eilis let out a dry smile. âBut it still seems to me that heâs only nice to you.â
Deirdreâs face burned red with embarrassment after she heard what Eilis said.
Eilis then pressed on. âLet me tell you something. When you were talking to Tobey on the phone, I could see from the side that Mr. Reed wasnât very happy about it. I know Iâm not seeing things. Iâm not stupid. Iâm pretty sure that he was jealous.â
âHe was jealous?â
Deirdre was stunned, and her heart raced into a gallop.
âHe was jealous of Tobey and me?â
âBut how is that possible?â Deirdre found it hard to believe.
âI didnât think it was possible either. After all, you two are from two different worlds and have been acquainted for a few days. But Iâm not sure about that now.â Eilis sighed.
âAnyway, just keep an eye on it. Honestly, just like you said, Mr. Reed is a nice person. I can see heâll treat you nicely if you end up together.â
Deirdre was rendered speechless. The things that Eilis had said were revolving inside of her head.
âKyran⦠He likes me?â
It would be possible if she were not disfigured, but right now⦠She was blind and ugly.
There was no way any man would fall in love with her, let alone a successful man like Kyran.
She laughed and shook her head in an attempt to remove those thoughts from her head.
After that, she went to pick out her clothes with Eilis.
She did not actually care if the clothes were nice on her or not. She just wanted them to keep her warm. After picking a set, she asked the shopkeeper for the price.
âThis one is 720 dollars. I can give you a discount.â
â720 dollars?â Deirdre was dumbfounded. She bit her lips and fell deep in thought.
It was too expensive.
âDo you have anything cheaper?â
âThe cheapest item in our store costs about 600 dollars.â
