Chapter 314 Love at First Sight
As for the man’s looks….
The anxiety bubbling within her mind made Madame Russell frown. She had always believed her son
to be handsome, so much so that he could sit comfortably among typical male leads in a romantic
drama. But this guy?
He looked like what happened when God decided to show her just how premature her conclusion was.
Madame Russell quickly took up Deirdre’s hand. “Mr. Reed?”
The man did not answer.
Deirdre spoke on his behalf. “He can’t speak, Madame Russell. He’s mute.”
“Mute?” The older woman parroted. A new hint of pity colored her gaze. She could not help herself-she
had imagined a man who looked as gorgeous as this young one would speak with a dulcet voice.
“Yea. He helped me, Madame Russell. Some of the kids in the village threw rocks into the yard while I
was walking, and it was Mr. Reed who chased them away. Then he helped me plow.”
At that moment, Madame Russell turned her attention away from Kyran to the bandage on her
forehead. Her heart ached. “What the… What happened? Did those brats do this to you?”
Deirdre could not bear to stress her out, so she fibbed smilingly, “Oh, no. This was an accident on my
part.”
Madame Russell was not going to buy a lie as undercooked as this one. “Oh, those punks are gonna
get it this time! I’m telling the village head!” she snarled, gritting her teeth. “Trouble-making imps!
Someone should glue their backsides to the chairs in a school!”
Deirdre smiled.
The older woman squeezed her hand and turned back to Kyran with a decorous grin. “Thank you for
sticking up for my Dee Dee, Mr. Reed!”
The emphasis on “my” was both intentional and implicative. Madame Russell found it hard to believe
that a stranger would help Deirdre out of pure-hearted altruism, and since Tobey had gone away, she
had to make sure her appointed future-daughter-in-law did not become someone else’s girlfriend
overnight.
Kyran’s eyebrows furrowed despite himself. He thinned his lips.
Madame Russell began to tug on Deirdre’s hand. The latter sensed the change in the air as well, but
she did not resist the older woman. She nodded to Kyran and bid him goodbye. “Thanks for your help,
Mr. Reed! You can leave the tools on the ground. That will do. Excuse us!”
Madame Russell’s pace was unnaturally frantic.
Deirdre found herself struggling to keep up. “S-Slow down a bit, Madame Russell! Why are we going so
fast? Did you leave something in the oven?”
“Yep. That’s right. Something in the oven. Right,” she muttered under her breath, distracted. A moment
later, she regretted being secretive and decided to talk it out.
“Dee Dee, what are your thoughts on this Mr. Reed?” she asked in a hushed voice.
Deirdre widened her eyes, nonplussed. “Er, he’s a really nice guy.”
A very well-mannered, ever-tempered guy, in fact. He was steadfastly gentle even in the face of her
Overreaction.
She could not possibly react to someone like that with apathy or cold indifference, could she? Deirdre’s
heart was not made of stone.
Madame Russell waved. “That’s not what I meant! I mean, do you like him?”
“Like him?” Deirdre was taken aback. She inhaled sharply and replied, “We’ve only met each other last
night! You’re way ahead of me, Madame Russell.”
“No, hon. I’m pretty sure I’m not.” She patted the back of Deirdre’s hand. “When you’ve lived as long as
me, you’ve seen what it’s like when a man falls in love at first sight. It’s especially easy to tell when a
day has passed, you know?
“I’m worried that this Mr. Reed is going after your heart, Dee Dee, and that you might say yes to being
with him. But we don’t know who he really is, right? You should definitely not fall for him just because
he displays some basic decency to you right now, okay?
“Judging from his social status, he might as well be from an entirely different planet than the one we
live
in!
“I don’t want you to get hurt, hon. At least I can tell, without a shadow of a doubt, that my Tobey will
never mistreat you in any way!”
Deirdre was stunned. A moment later, she laughed. “Oh God, Madame Russell! You’re overthinking
this. really!”
Clearing her throat, she asked, “How does Mr. Reed look?”
“Well! Tall and handsome. Wouldn’t you know?”
