Chapter 36 Apologize to Charlene

She was glad that the kitchen arrangements had not changed. Deirdre poured herself a glass of water and took two gulps quickly before she heard footsteps behind her.

Brendan was home.

Deirdre turned her body in the direction of the door with tense movements. She could sense the man’s gaze, and it caught her off guard. She was properly dressed , yet she could still feel his coldness.

She pulled her clothes tighter without realizing it and heard him ask, “You’re awake, huh?”

Deirdre braced herself, nodding despite not understanding the nature of his question. She kept her head lowered as she downed the last gulp of water in the glass. Soon, the footsteps approached her and stopped right in front of her. Deirdre’s body turned stiff for a moment when she sensed the man’s touch on her forehead. She pulled back subconsciously, only to discover that he had just touched her forehead for a brief moment.

He was feeling her body temperature. It came as a surprise to her, but a moment later, the man’s remark disappointed her completely.

“It seems that you’re still alive. Follow me to the hospital later so you can apologize to Charlene.”

Brendan would not leave this matter be. He was in a rush to avenge Charlene as soon as Deirdre’s fever broke.

Deirdre clenched her fists tightly. “I won’t…”

Her lips were pursed so tightly that they turned white. She would never apologize to the enemy who had indirectly killed her child! “I won’t apologize to her!” Brendan’s dark eyes turned cold, and he grew

impatient.” Deirdre, don’t try to push my limits. Why won’t you apologize? Do you know that Charlene was in pain throughout the night and only managed to fall asleep earlier?!”

‘No wonder his body is stained with a feminine scent. It turns out that he spent all night accompanying Charlene.

‘He went off to keep his beloved woman company without taking a break after he was done punishing me. He was not willing to waste any time, not even a minute.’

Deirdre pushed her hand against her chest strongly to stop her heart from aching. Soon, she raised her head. “I didn’t push her down the stairs. She fell down the stairs by herself. Plus, I went through a hard time when I was her scapegoat , so what if I really did push her down the stairs? Shouldn’t she be punished for killing someone in a

hit-and-run?!”

The woman spoke in a confident voice. Brendan’s dark eyes turned cold, and he grabbed Deirdre by the throat abruptly, his body pushing close against hers. “Stop being unreasonable. If you don’t apologize to her, I’ll make Sterling apologize on your behalf. We need to get

even anyway!”

He almost had to force out that final remark through tightly-clenched teeth.

Deirdre’s face turned ghastly pale abruptly. “Don’t do that, Brendan! This is between us. It’s none of his business!”

For some unknown reason, Brendan felt anger surging inside his body when he realized that the woman would yield because of Sterling, despite her usual fearlessness. “Why can’t I do that? Deirdre, perhaps you’ve forgotten who I am. If I want Sterling dead in Neve, he will not live!” His eyes were

glistening with rage. “I thought Sterling thought highly of himself? If that’s the case, he shall apologize on your behalf!” “No… Don’t!” Deirdre panicked and grabbed Brendan’s arm tightly. Sterling was already in deep trouble because of her, so she would never allow herself to implicate him again. Her throat felt parched, and she bit her lower lip tightly.“ Aren’t you trying to get me to apologize to Charlene?

Sure! I shall apologize to her! If you leave him out of this, I will apologize to Charlene!”

Brendan was stunned for a moment, his face turning ashen with disappointment: The woman who would have rather died in the rain than yield and apologize previously had agreed to apologize easily because of Sterling. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

He was not only displeased , but he wished he could kill someone.

Brendan was furious. He would like to see how far Deirdre would go for Sterling. “You’re going to kneel at the door of Charlene’s room until she forgives you!”.
