Chapter 301 Be My Daughter-In-Law

“Tobey is coming back?” Deirdre could not help feeling surprised. “Why? Isn’t there still some time until Christmas?”

Madame Russell looked toward Deirdre with a smile. “He called me up some time ago, and it was only natural that I brought you up in our conversation. Then, he applied for a long leave of absence from his company, claiming he missed me after not seeing me for more than six months. However, I’m quite certain that he is coming back to see you.”

“To see me?” Deidre wrung the towel and was confused. “Why is he coming back to see me?”

“Silly girl, I refuse to believe that you don’t have the slightest idea about this.” Madame Russell cracked a gentle smile. “Didn’t you know that Tobey has liked you since he was a child?”

Deirdre choked on the water she was drinking.

Madame Russell hastily soothed her. Deirdre recovered from the cough, but she was still in a daze.

She regarded Tobey as her elder brother all this time, and they did not interact much with each other before she moved away from her. It was because Tobey did not come home frequently after he went to a boarding school in high school.

It was truly an unexpected surprise for Tobey to have feelings for her.

She was embarrassed. “You must be joking, Madame Russell.”

“Why would I lie to you, child? Everything he wrote in his journal during junior high was about you. If you don’t believe me, I can grab it and read it to you.”

“It… It’s fine…” Deidre was uneasy when she said, “It’s the past anyway.”

“What’s with the past? I think that Tobey still has feelings for you. Why else would he sacrifice his leave of absence to travel home immediately?” Madame Russell held Deirdre’s hands and said, “I think you should stay with us and be my daughter-in-law!”

Deirdre was stunned and pulled away her hands in response.

Madame Russell came to understand the situation. “Could it be that you don’t like Tobey, Deirdre? I’m not bragging, but Tobey is popular for his good looks. He is a fine-looking man who graduated from a pristine university and is now working for a huge corporation. Moreover, he is good-natured and will treat you

well.”

“No…” Deidre could not help chuckling in spite of herself. “Madame Russell, it’s normal for Tobey to like me in the past because I used to hang around him all the time. However, the situation is quite different

now.”

“How is it different?”

Deirdre pointed at her face.

Madame Russell furrowed her eyebrows. “That’s fine! I’m sure that Tobey won’t mind that!”

Deirdre smiled but did not speak. She had encountered way too many people who were disgusted by her face and understood the burden caused by her face.

Tobey was a good man who Madame Russell could easily persuade. He would take pity on her and forced to marry her even if he had no interest in or feelings for her. It would not be a good thing for both

of them.

Moreover, she was incapable of loving another person anymore.

“I’ll be fine to be just friends. I still have many matters to attend to, and I’m not looking into marriage.”

Madame Russell felt sorry about the situation and could not bear to part with Deirdre. Yet, she did not. comment further, but she said, “Just get in touch with him first, then. It’s between both of you young people anyway. You can decide for yourselves.”

Deirdre returned to the room after the meal. She was planning on taking a nap, yet she became more conscious after lying down.

She listened to the time reported from her phone and came to realize that it was 27th. Brendan and Charlene’s engagement would take place tomorrow.

She kept her unfocused eyes open and felt an ineffable feeling in her usually numbed heart. Perhaps she was feeling slightly recalcitrant.

She was recalcitrant that the man survived the ordeal and would live a better life than before. On the other hand, everything of hers had been ruined because she was sent to prison as a scapegoat.

Yet, it was already lucky for her to flee successfully. In view of her identity, what else could she do other than hide?
