Chapter 806 Possessiveness Is His Devil

“Henry Walker?” Deirdre’s face turned ashen. She still remembered how gleeful that man was in his audacity. Of course he would begrudge Tobey for beating him up that badly! Just the thought that Henry would strike when Tobey was down made Deirdre’s chest hurt.

“What did he do to him?’

Brendan saw how pale she had become and realized that the agony on his shoulders could not compare to the flame burning in his chest at all. “Not much. He abducted Tobey, that’s all.”

“Abducted!?” Deirdre’s voice went an octave higher.

“W-What happened to Tobey after that? Is he okay!?”

Brendan tried his best to shove his displeasure back into his chest.” Deirdre, are you worried about another man in my presence?”

He tightened his arms around her and nibbled on the tip of her nose. “You’re bearing my child there, don’t forget that. Especially when your mind seems to be quite occupied with someone else.”

Deirdre stiffened. What was this? Jealousy?

If he were Kyran, Deirdre would have immediately believed he was being jealous and even found it amusing. But this was Brendan Brigthall-the only woman whom he cared for or loved had always been Charlene.

The way she saw it, this was likely just Brendan’s favorite devil acting up again-his good friend, “possessiveness.” Nevertheless, the last thing she wanted was for an argument to happen.

“Listen, Brendan. There’s a reason for Tobey and Henry’s bad blood. There was a night when Henry snuck into our room while Tobey was drunk and started assaulting me. Tobey was so furious he beat Henry up and took pictures of him after the fight,” she explained. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

‘That means Henry abducted Tobey because of me. I can’t just pretend none of this concerns me!”

“What!?” Brendan’s hand tightened around Deirdre’s wrist. He was livid.” Henry assaulted you!?”

She thinned her lips. “He didn’t manage to do much, actually. Good thing Tobey woke up just in time.”

Brendan’s rage continued to flare. He had been under the impression that Henry was someone too cowardly to act on his lust, but the b*stard had actually tried. His expression turned Stormy-Henry should be eviscerated for even thinking about touching his lover.

“Brendan? You haven’t answered the question. How’s Tobey?”

Brendan hugged her. “He’s fine. I came just in time, so nothing happened to him. Not that you can see him. I’ve sent him back to Eastgene.”

Deirdre exhaled a sigh of relief. I don’t mind not being able to see him. I just want him safe.”

“I get it.” Brendan caressed her hair, his eyes so loving they were borderline pining. “I swear to God, Deirdre, if it’s someone you care about, I’ll make sure they are safe.”

She was stunned. Her eyes quivered. Then, she said, “Thank you.”

The many unforgivable sins Brendan had committed aside, she could not ignore the fact that he had saved Tobey’s life. For that, she was nothing but grateful.

Brendan was upset, though. He kissed her on the lips and muttered, “Don’t you dare thank me because I saved some guy you care about.”

A thought came into his mind, and his eyes glinted. “But… since I need to rest at home for these past few days to recuperate from the injuries on my right shoulder… If you really want to thank me, be my nurse.”

Deirdre craned her neck upward and tried to read Brendan’s expression as hard as she could. “Are you sure?’ She frowned. “I can’t see.”

A visually-impaired person would only cause more trouble than she was worth, right?

“I am sure.” Warmth crept into Brendan’s eyes as he drank gleefully in the woman’s expression. “Besides, it won’t be the first time. You took care of me back when I was hospitalized for a long time, didn’t you?”
