Everything Okay?
Joy probably sensed the enmity between these two adults. She suddenly balled her fists and bawled
loudly, causing Deirdre to panic a little. "Hush, hush. Don’t cry, Little Joy. Joy is happy, isn’t she? Aunt
Deirdre is here with you."
Laura led Cillian down the stairs just in time and stepped forward, her arms outstretched. "Don't worry,
Miss McKinnon. She's throwing another tantrum again, really.”
The child's crying seemed to have spoiled Gillian's good mood. Irritated, he snarled, “Can you put a
cork to it already? This thing doesn't stop crying, whether it’s day or night! And now she's throwing a
stupid fit in front of my guests? Christ! Take her upstairs! You two embarrassed me enough!"
Laura's face turned pale. She hurriedly apologized and brought the kid with her upstairs.
Incensed, Deirdre spoke out. "Mr. King, if I may... Every child cries. It's a very common, natural thing to
do.”
“Natural?” Cillian snorted. "A boy would have been less of an emotional nuisance.”
Deirdre narrowed her eyes in rage.
Brendan, though, simply smiled. "I take it as you don’t like your daughter, Mr. King?"
Cillian waved. "I really much prefer a boy, but that woman couldn't even get that done.”
Brendan snickered. “Spoken like a b*stard who doesn’t know how lucky he is. If I had a daughter, I'd
have treated her as if she was the world, but then again, that's just me. I get where you're coming from,
Mr. King. After all, how are you supposed to feel good whenever you look at the baby and remember
exactly how she was conceived? Am I right?
"Nevertheless, a child needs her father, so don't take it out on her, okay? She's innocent."
Cillian was no fool. Brendan's not-at-all subtle hint was not lost on him at all. He was irate-nobody had
ever dared bring this up, but now... Brendan just had to be the one to open that can of worms.
This little piece of sh*t did not even bother to hide his contempt.
His mind drifted to what would come next, and he relaxed. Smiling, he nodded, "Huh? You're right, Mr.
Brighthall! It's always embarrassing when you get schooled by someone younger than you, but I guess
that’s on me!”
Brendan's smile did not reach his eyes. "As long as you understood me."
“Of course I do. Of course, of course!” replied Cillian. "Now, where were we? Ah, yes. Take a seat and
have some appetizers. Laura had our meal prepared already. Now, all we need is to wait for my
parents to come back, and we can begin.”
Brendan and Deirdre sat as the man asked, "The weather's a little too cold for an excursion. Where did
Mr. King Sr. and Mrs. King go?"
“The church."
"The... church?"
“Yea.” Cillian shrugged. "People of their generation see worth in all that stuff. Always asking God to
look after our business or family or... Ugh, you know the drill. I guess that's the only thing you can do
when you're retired from being a board member. You suddenly have way too much time on your
hands.”
Brendan curled his lips. Cillian prattled on, not letting the conversation die at all.
Deirdre rose to her feet and announced, "I'm gonna check on Ms. Smith."
She climbed up the stairs and let the housekeeper lead her to the children’s room. Knocking, the
woman asked, “Mrs. King? Miss McKinnon is here to see you.”
They heard an "okay" instantly, and yet it was only several minutes later when Laura finally pulled the
door open. She looked pretty rattled. "I'm so sorry, Miss McKinnon! Joy's being difficult today, so I had
to care for her a little longer. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long.”
Deirdre had good ears, so she could hear Laura’s voice being thick with tears-as if the woman had
been weeping to herself. She wanted to point it out as tactfully as she could, so she replied, "No, no.
It's nothing. I was just worried about Joy. I think I accidentally made her cry. So I came to see her.”
"Don't worry about it. Joy has her own version of mood swings,” said Laura. "She knows I'll coddle her,
so she just... let her emotions out whenever she wants, however she likes. It’s not because of you.
See? She's okay now!”
Joy looked up at Deirdre and giggled.
Deirdre closed the door behind her and flashed a smile.
“Everything okay?”
