Chapter 319 I Really Miss You
No, it was not because she had the compassion of the Virgin Mary. Nope, it was definitely not because her heart bled for the pitiful and destitute. She only agreed to join the party as a form of thanks.
Yeap, definitely as a form of thanks for those two times Kyran helped her.
Deirdre had received Tobey’s call by the time she got out of the vehicle. Standing by the roadside, she could not help but note the fatigue in Tobey’s voice, no matter how gentle he was. “Going to a dinner tonight with my mom, Dee?”
Deirdre was not surprised that he knew. Madame Russell must have told him. “Yeah.”
“Okay. Be careful, please. Don’t drink. If I recall correctly, you aren’t exactly a drinker. Just tell them you’re allergic to alcohol, and they will definitely leave you alone in fear.” Tobey quipped. “Go home as soon as it’s over, please.”
“I know, Toby. I know.” She chirped. His voice was reassuring-the way a kind-hearted big brother’s was Don’t worry. I’ll make sure your mom won’t drink too much herself.”
“Heh, thanks,” he replied quietly. Then, quite suddenly, his tone took a slightly frenetic turn. “I miss you so much, Dee. I wish I could just abandon my work and come home to see you!”
Deirdre was stunned. Before she could answer him, however, she felt a strong grip clamping around her wrist. The force was so great her mind immediately conjured Brendan’s image.
Her voice was trembling when she called out, “W-Who is this?”
Tobey caught onto her panic. “What’s wrong?”
Eilis was caught in a conversation with the village chief at a distance, but she managed to notice.
Deirdre’s predicament just in time. Alarmed, she strode toward her and raised her voice. “Mr. Reed, Dee
Dee! What’s the matter?”
