“Your phone, someone called you earlier.”
Upon hearing the answer, Deirdre’s face, which was blushing from the heat, instantly turned pale.
“Who?”
Kyran didn't answer but paced toward her step by step.
Before Deirdre could speak again, Kyran took the towel from her hand and gently patted her hair. His movements were infinitely gentle, but the air pressure around him was inexplicably suffocating.
Deirdre clenched her fists tightly, and her palms were sweating. She asked again, "Who called?"
Kyran finally stopped his movements. With his face unexpectedly cold, he took out his phone and typed, "Who do you think it could be?"
Deirdre swallowed her saliva. She couldn't think of anyone else apart from Tobey, but she didn't know what they had said over the phone and why Kyran was in a bad mood.
“W-Was it Tobey?”
Kyran replied with a sophisticated feeling in his eyes, “Yes, it was him.”
As predicted...
Deirdre felt uncomfortable.
Kyran asked, "Is there any secret between you and him that I don't know?"
Without waiting for an answer, he added another question, "Deirdre, who’s Tobey to you? And who am I?"
Kyran didn't break free but asked, "Why can't you tell me your difficulties? Do you think I'm not truthful enough to you?"
"Kyran." Deirdre took a deep breath, trying to control the urge to speak out again and again. "I-I can’t speak it out."
Kyran was silent for a moment. He kissed her forehead, but at the same time, pushed her hand away.
"Since you can’t speak it out, I won't force you. You can tell me only after you have settled your affairs." He handed Deirdre her phone. "I'll give you time to deal with the call. I'll go out for a while."
Deirdre bit her lip. “Thank you.”
Kyran didn’t say a word. He merely stood there for a while and went out.
When Kyran left, Deirdre's eyes couldn't help turning red. She closed her eyes and inhaled repeatedly before she could finally calm herself down.
