Chapter 740 Is Deirdre Capable of Leaving?

Glenna tightened her grip on her phone and concealed her emotions by saying, “We hadn’t met each other at the time, and I didn’t know much about you, so I was bolder.”

Declan let out a muffled laughter. “You still can be bold now, you know.”

Glenna suddenly fell silent while Declan did not seem to notice her change. He asked,

“Who was the man with you the other day?”

Glenna’s mind went blank for a moment before realizing the situation. “You mean Whelan?”

“Hmm, I suppose.”

“He’s a colleague.”

“Just a colleague?” Declan said in a meaningful tone, “He looks like he is deeply concerned about you. Is he your suitor?”

Glenna furrowed her eyebrows and shifted her gaze back to her phone. She pretended as if she did not hear Declan’s remark for a moment and asked, “What?”

Declan smiled. “Nothing.”

He changed the topic of conversation by talking about Deirdre’s pregnancy. Glenna raised her head at last.

Declan could see Glenna’s reaction, so he stayed on the topic of conversation on purpose.

Glenna bit her lower lip and took it upon herself to speak for the first time. “Do you think that Deirdre’s pregnancy is happening at the right time?”

Declan inquired closely, “What do you mean by the right time? What isn’t the right time?”

“Isn’t Brendan concealing his true identity to be with Deirdre? This signifies that he won't be in this relationship for a long time, but he will move on when he’s bored. What will Deirdre and her baby do when that happens?”

Declan chuckled. “If this is all that you’re concerned about, I can tell you that you’re worrying too much. Brendan wants this baby more than any of us. Unless Deirdre leaves him one day, Brendan will most certainly stay and be with them.”

Glenna’s gaze turned dim quickly, and she said, “Will Brendan agree if Deirdre wants to leave?”

Declan controlled the steering wheel and said casually, ‘The question you should ask is whether Deirdre is capable of leaving.”

In the next few days, Deirdre discovered that Brendan was almost defenseless in her presence through her observation.

Her phone was not tapped, and no one was posted outside to guard her. She had the freedom to leave the house and even touch any of his belongings if she wanted to.

If she were a normal-sighted woman, she could find the right opportunity to slip away without anyone’s notice. However, she was blind.

It would be very difficult for her to even get a flight ticket, let alone move away from this place and flee to an unknown location. She would lose her way or starve to death away from here.

Perhaps it was precisely due to this reason that Brendan did not pay too much attention to her.

She and Brendan were supposed to go to her prenatal checkup this afternoon, but he was busy. As such, he sent Fionn to keep her company.

Deirdre waited for her appointment quietly. She had mixed feelings for no apparent reason after the appointment.

The baby was doing very well, much better than the previous one.

If this continued, it would be born safely and grow healthily.

Fionn was delighted and took a photo of the examination report to send to Brendan.

Deirdre moved and said, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Fionn did not follow her because the restroom was not far from them. He told Deirdre that he would wait for her at the door.

Deirdre washed her face and discovered that she had no idea how she felt about the pregnancy that came so unexpectedly.

Should she hate it or fear it? She was confused but knew it would be a huge mistake to bring the child into this world.

She was preparing to leave after calming herself when a tall, huge figure entered the restroom. The figure grabbed Deirdre’s hand and pulled her into a toilet cubicle. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Deirdre was panic-stricken and almost screamed aloud. The man said, “Deirdre! It’s me!”

Deirdre was shocked and incredulous upon hearing the familiar voice.
