“Sure.” Madame Russell sent over the ingredients.

Tobey got up as well. “I’ll help.”

Deirdre did not decline, but she devoted her full attention to feel for the tools she needed in the kitchen. Her bangs tucked behind her ears scattered before her eyes when she lowered her head to mix the ingredients.

Tobey stared at her for a long time before he stretched out his hand.

Deirdre took a step back abruptly yet consciously, as if she was hypervigilant.

Tobey was stunned for a moment before he tried to explain himself, “Your hair is in the way. Let me help you tuck it.”

“Is that so…” Deirdre was embarrassed. She had a hard time trusting outsiders because of what Brendan had done, yet Tobey was not an outsider but a neighbor who would help her frequently in the past.

“I’m sorry that I was caught off guard.”

Deirdre could not help being stunned, and she changed the topic of conversation when she recovered from her surprise. “You don’t have a girlfriend, huh, Tobey?”

“That’s right.” Tobey added water to her mixture and said smilingly, “Why? Are you surprised?”

“Hmm.” Deirdre nodded. “I remembered you being very popular, tall, and handsome. You should have already had a girlfriend and been married by now. Is it because you are too demanding?”

“No.” Tobey denied it without hesitation. He looked at Deirdre for a long time as if he wanted to say something to her. He hesitated for a short while before he answered smilingly, “I still haven’t met anyone suitable. It would be unfair to marry a woman just so I could settle down, so I’m still waiting. I’m still waiting for that person in my heart to appear again.”

‘Again?’

Deirdre was stunned for a moment, as if she noticed something in his remark. She did not respond to the remark, but Tobey said, “Deirdre.”
