Chapter 836 Mr. Brighthall’s Lover
Both of them walked to the park, and the sky was stained red in the meantime. It was still not dark, so Deirdre and Mrs. Engel strolled leisurely in the park and heard the soft discussion from their side.
“Is that her?”
“I suppose. Her figure looks exactly the same. That should be her.”
Soon afterward, those two people braced themselves to approach Deirdre. “Hello, may I inquire if you’re Miss Deirdre McKinnon?”
Deirdre did not expect that she would encounter people who knew her, so she paused for a moment before she nodded.
The person was overjoyed instantly. “It’s truly a waste that I didn’t see you in the grocery store today. I was planning on going over to apologize to you. I’m really sorry for what transpired that day...”
Deirdre was about to say, “It’s alright,” when the person asked, “ Where’s Mr. Brighthall? Why isn't he here with you? Aren't you two lovers?”
“What do you mean by lovers?” The person's companion interrupted by saying in astonishment, “Don’t be spouting nonsense in Miss McKinnon’s presence. Miss McKinnon and Mr. Brighthall are just friends. Mr. Brighthall’s lover is someone else. Don’t make things awkward for her.”
“Mr. Brighthall has a lover already? Who told you that?”
“Why would I need someone to tell me about that, huh? He has always been engaged to his fiancee, Charli McKinsey. I saw them on the news today too.” The person tried to prove herself right immediately by pulling out her phone and pulling up a search screen.
“See this? Brendan Brighthall and Charli McKinsey visiting a family member in the family mansion, their relationship intimate as ever.”
Deirdre’s expression turned stiff instantly. The woman snatched the phone and saw a photo. “You are right… I’m so sorry, Miss McKinnon. Mr. Brighthall risked his life to protect you the other day, so I thought that you and he were lovers. So, it turns out that I’ve been mistaken.”
In the end, both of them left.
Mrs. Engel hastily consoled by saying, “Mrs. Brighthall, it’s not true. Don’t listen to them!”
“What's not true?” Deirdre asked nonchalantly, “Is it the part where Charlene joined him to visit Madame Brighthall in the family mansion, or the part where Brendan’s lover is Charlene is not true?”
