Chapter 118 Uproot
‘Deirdre will not be able to outshine me when I move into the villa.’
A tinge of cruelness flashed past her beautiful eyes. Soon afterward, she nodded with a gentle expression. “I don’t have any request except for Ms. McKinnon not to hurt me anymore.”
In the next three days, Brendan did not visit the villa anymore. Deirdre sat in the spacious living room by herself just as she did two years ago.
The only change was her state of mind. She went from being a white jasmine waiting for the rising sun to a wilted rose emitting rot and stench inside out.
“Ms. McKinnon.” Sam had been guarding the door all this time and had been watching as Deirdre sat on the sofa in a daze from sunrise to sunset. He felt rather sorry for her and could not refrain from striking up a conversation with her. “The flowers in the yard have bloomed and smell great. Would you like to head outside for a stroll? Perhaps you can get a whiff of the floral scent while you’re at it?”
Deirdre remained in the same position for a long time before she suddenly moved. ” The flowers have bloomed?”
“Hmm. There are many of them, and they look like a massive sea of flowers from afar. The scent is not too overpowering either.”
“Really?” Deirdre lowered her head and chuckled.
She planted those flowers.
“Take me there, please.”
Sam was stunned for a moment upon seeing the smile on the woman’s face. He only recovered from the surprise after a long while and felt his face burning slightly. He led Deirdre by supporting her arm.
The floral scent in the yard was not overpowering and stirred up emotions in her. Deirdre touched the flowers and realized that the flowers were not that different from how she remembered them. She said, “Sam, please bring me a spade.”
“Sure.” Even though Sam had no idea what was the purpose of the spade, it was Deirdre’s first time uttering a word in three days. He hastily grabbed a spade from the
garage.
