Chapter 245 In Conflict
Brendan’s body tensed up without him realizing it. It had always bothered him that Deirdre might
discover the truth, so he immediately inquired, “Where is she? Is she still suspicious?”
Maeve shook her head and raised her calloused hands. “I’m lucky that I prepared in advance and
dispelled Ms. McKinnon’s doubts at once.”
“Great then.” Brendan’s expression was gloomy. “It is apparent that something happened while you
were in the changing room. It’s highly possible that some loudmouth talked to her, and I’ll look into this
matter. Just do your part of the job.”
“Alright.” Maeve was sensible enough to get ready to leave.
“Hold on.” Brendan called out to Maeve. He furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Were you by Deirdre’s
side at all times while she bought the gifts?”
“Yes. How can I help, Mr. Brighthall?”
“Did she purchase anything else other than gifts for Sam and Dr. Ginger?”
Maeve pondered it for a while before she said in frustration, “I don’t remember so well. I remember
walking away for a short while during the payment process. However, there were only two items in Ms.
McKinnon’s hands at the time. I suppose those were the two gifts for the two individuals.”
Brendan’s expression turned solemn. “Understood.”
In the next two days, even Maeve could feel that the ambiance in the villa was rather
strange.
The relationship between Brendan and Deirdre grew more distant. They would greet each other in the
morning, and then Brendan would leave the house without talking much. He returned home when it
was very late.
It felt like they were a young couple in conflict.
Once, while they were eating out, Maeve could not help asking, “Deirdre, I hope you don’t mind me
asking, but did something unpleasant happen between Brendan?”
you and
Deirdre’s movements halted to a stop, and she avoided her mother’s gaze in a haste. “No… Nothing…”
Maeve smiled. “It’s not embarrassing to talk about because even a loving couple that has been married
for a long time will still get into conflict sometimes. Besides, both

of you are still young. It’s very normal to be angry at each other at times. However, it has been two
days. You ought to give me a reason, okay?”
“The reason is…” Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly and expressed her puzzlement through her gaze. A
moment later, she answered, “I don’t know.”
“How can you not know? There should be a reason behind a quarrel. Brendan can’t possibly be sulking
for no reason, right?”
Deirdre had no idea indeed. She had thought it through many times yet she could not figure out why
Brendan was offended.
‘The only possibility is…”
“I bought gifts for the people working in the villa when we were out the other day, but I didn’t give a gift
to him.”
From that point on, their relationship had grown distant.
“This is about a gift, huh?” Maeve suddenly remembered the conversation she’d had with Brendan the
other day.
She had not put much thought into it in the beginning, but now that she thought about it, it seemed that
Brendan was jealous because he had not been treated as fairly as the others.
Maeve found it rather amusing and said, “No wonder he has been looking displeased in the past two
days. But you bought him a gift too, right? Why haven’t you given it to him yet?”
Deirdre lowered her gaze. “It’s a cheap item that doesn’t match his status. He won’t use it even if I give
it to him.”
“How can you know that he won’t use it if you don’t give it to him?” Maeve said gently. “You and
Brendan are married, after all. If you get a gift for Sam and Dr. Ginger but not for him, how can he not
be pissed? Isn’t it obvious that you’re treating him unfairly?”
“I’m not… I know that he wouldn’t like it. Besides, he wouldn’t use it and he wouldn’t care about it at all.
It’s unnecessary to give it to him…”
“You’re wrong, Deirdre.” Maeve held her hand. “Regardless of whether he likes the gift or not, you
should have given him a gift given your relationship with him. If you were in his place, would you be
happy if Brendan got a gift for another woman but not for you?
