Chapter 569 Troubles
“I know I called him Bren, but it was just a ploy to ingratiate myself with him. It happens
when you really need someone’s help. You can’t sound like a belligerent *ss.
“You remember what I said just now, right? I asked him if he still holds a grudge against
me. That’s really the crux of our disagreement. I hated his guts, so I left. I didn’t try to
explain myself or resolve any conflict between us, which caused him to resent me even
more. I even thought he hung up on me because he refused to help me.”
Deirdre was nailed to her spot. She did remember the words Declan had used. If she
was right about Brendan and Declan’s relationship, then the latter would not have said
something like, “are you still holding a grudge”, would he?
Her expression relaxed. Pressing her lips tight, she asked, “So… you’re in a bind, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“Is it… serious?” asked Deirdre, concerned. Anything that could make Declan ask
Brendan for help must be some grim affair.
He was silent for a moment before finally answering, “A day after I returned to Eastgene,
my sister-in-law talked to me in private. She told me something bad will happen to me
during the upcoming party. I was about to ask for details when my brother appeared, so I
have no idea what will happen.”
“I see.” Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows. She understood why Declan stopped himself
from asking for more. The man shared a very complicated relationship with his sister-inlaw, so both of
them had a vested interest in avoiding any suspicion or rumor as much as
possible.
“But if she finds it important to warn me, then whatever’s gonna happen at that party has
to be big. I need someone who can help me when I’m in a bind, the sort of person my
brother would rather not offend. The only person who fits the bill is Brendan Brighthall.”
“What about Kyran?” Deirdre could not help but ask, “Can’t he help?”
Declan chuckled softly. “Him being abroad at the moment is certainly a limitation, but
even if he could make it in time for the party, he can’t rear his head.”
‘Why not?”
“Because my brother will notice and instantly know that I’m plotting something. It’s no
different from tipping him off to stay alert.”
Deirdre sank into silence. The Kings had an even bigger knot than she had previously
envisioned.
“God, I feel like an idiot for misunderstanding you.”
Declan laughed dryly. “Nah. I would have done the same if I were you, too, so I’m not
offended. Honestly, I’m more interested to know why you’re the one answering
Brendan’s phone. It’s morning now, right?”
His sudden pivot to another subject made Deirdre grimace. “I… I’m not legally divorced
yet, so yesterday, we met up to discuss it. Then a massive downpour happened, and we
had no choice but to rest up in a hotel for the time being.”
“Huh?” He let out a chuckle, but he sounded weary. “You don’t have to worry, Miss
McKinnon. I believe in your character. It’s a good thing you’re nearby. You can pass him
a message and tell him I called after he’s awake.
‘That’s all, really. I’m heading for a rest.”
“Okay.”
The call ended.
Deirdre could not help but think about how the birthday party in Eastgene had cost
Declan an entire night of sleep. ‘The troubles that have latched onto him sound so
grave… What if Brendan still refuses to help?’
She set the phone down. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Deirdre made her
way to it, but instead of opening it immediately, she asked,”
Who’s this?”
“Good morning, ma’am. I’m from last night. I was just wondering whether your friend’s
fever has gotten better. Does he still need an ambulance?”
Deirdre recognized her voice. “Give me a moment!”
She felt her way to the couch and placed her hand on Brendan’s forehead.
It was still hot to the touch, but compared to what it was last night, it was clear he was
getting much better.
