“Alright.”

Deirdre nodded. Tobey returned after a short while.

“Deirdre.” He sounded unprecedentedly anxious and stern. “I have to return to the company immediately.”

“What happened?”

Tobey heaved a sigh in agitation. “One of the projects I’m handling is suddenly facing some issues, so I’ll need to handle it. Moreover, I must leave immediately because I can’t afford to lose time. I won’t be able to get a bus ticket if it’s late.”

“Ah…” Even though Deirdre did not understand the situation very well, she knew that work was important. “You should go quickly. Don’t worry about me. Madame Russell can come and pick me up later.”

Tobey heaved a deep sigh, his eyes still filled with affection. “Dierdre, everything I said to you before you rejected me is valid. I want to be with you to protect and treasure you. I’m doing it not only because of my mother and Madam McKinnon but it’s more so for myself. You can give it proper consideration while I’m away. I’ll be back in a few days. By then, I hope that you can give me an answer.”

Deirdre’s mind was turning sluggish. Tobey leaned over to kiss Deirdre’s forehead before he left unwillingly.

He walked with swift footsteps that sounded like he was in a rush.

Deirdre was not disgusted by the remnant warmth on her forehead, but she was caught in a daze.

‘Is a person like me worthy of being protected and treasured? Will I be able to live a normal life?’

She felt her heart wrench in pain at the thought of Brendan.

Brendan had hurt her so much that she did not have the courage to get into a new relationship. However, she realized that she did not hate the idea of dating Tobey. It was possible that she was given a chance to break free from Brendan, so she could have a fresh start.

As she was thinking to herself, someone sat down next to her.
