Chapter 553 Go on a Date With Me

“You don’t deserve to compare yourself to him.”

The remark was merciless. It sent a wave of pain through his body like a sharp knife that stabbed into his heart. Yet, he did not even have the excuse to disclose the truth about himself.

Kyran was him but not him at the same time.

Kyran was the product of his meticulous disguise. He was a robot with forcefully controlled emotions and sexual desires. He was the exact opposite of Brendan.

In truth, he wanted Deirdre to accept his true self even more. However, he knew that it was only his silly

notion.

Brendan’s fists tightened at the sight of the vigilant woman who was near the point of breakdown. A feeling of extreme reluctance was burning in his chest.

He could not refrain from saying, “Do you hate me that much?”

Deirdre was shaking. She sneered upon hearing that, as if she was poking fun at his question.

“I understand now.” Brendan chuckled in a self-mocking way. “That man is all you care about, so you want me to disappear from your life, right?”

Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows and wiped away the cold tears on her face. “What are you trying to say?”

“Go on a date with me.”

Deirdre’s pupils constricted soon afterward. “Have you lost your mind?”

Brendan sneered. “I’m not threatening you, but I’m merely giving you a choice, Deirdre Don’t forget that we’re still legally married. You want to get rid of me and get a divorce as soon as possible so you can dive into that man’s arms, right? Then you’ll have to give me a proper bargain anyhow.”

He said softly, “This is the condition that I want. Go on a date with me, and I’ll sign the divorce papers when the time is right.”

Even if it was just a silly notion, he knew that it was possible he would not have the chance to do that for the rest of his life.

He wanted to be with her as Brendan, even if it was just for a few days or a few hours.

Deirdre’s mind went blank. “Why?”

“Hmm?”

“Why do you want that condition?”

‘It is obvious that he doesn’t love me. Is he still motivated by his disgusting possessiveness?’

Brendan said sarcastically, “It’s because I owe it to you, of course. I still have trouble sleeping because of your mother’s incident, so I’m taking this opportunity to make it up to you, right?”

When he uttered the last few words, his tone was tainted with puzzlement and amusement.

Deirdre was disappointed instantly. She said with her fists tightly clenched, “You don’t need to make up a high-sounding excuse. If you wish to make up for that, the best compensation you can give me is to get a divorce at once!

“However, are you willing to do that? Hence, you don’t care about making up at all. You’re only using this to console yourself for causing someone’s death!”

Brendan’s dark eyes dimmed slowly, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Is this how I am to you?”

Deirdre was momentarily stunned while Brendan returned to his usual cold self. He pulled his business card out of his pocket and placed it on the bedside table.

“You may think however you want. This is my business card, and you can call me when you’re done. figuring it out. Otherwise, we can continue to be legally married too. I don’t have any objection to this, but I don’t know how that man will feel when he finds out about this.”

Upon saying that, he got out from the balcony.

Deirdre could not help trembling from the cold when she felt a gust of cold wind blowing. Her heart was filled with intense coldness.

Meanwhile, Declan knocked on her door. “Miss McKinnon? I heard someone talking in your room earlier. What’s going on? Are you alright?”

“I’m alright…” Deirdre took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. “I was sleeping soundly, and I said something when a nightmare awakened me.”

“I see. Have a good rest. Call me if you need me, Miss McKinnon.”

“Hmm.”
