NovelEnglishChapter 171 This Is Charlene’s Favorite Dessert
Deirdre was touched by Sam’s words. She tried to lower her head and control her emotions.
“It’s no longer important. I’m the one who was delusional enough to think that Brendan wouldn’t favor
anyone over the truth.”
Now that Deirdre had said it, she found the idea stupid and ridiculous.
Humans were generally sentimental. What’s more, Charlene was the woman Brendan had loved all his
life. Hence, a dog’s life and a trivial truth were nothing compared to this fact.
At that moment, the sound of a car engine being switched off was heard outside.
Brendan had gotten back?
“What’s the time?” Deirdre asked Sam.
“It’s three o’clock.”
At the moment, Brendan should be still working at the company. Why would he return now?

standing together, he furrowed his brows slightly.
Sam tactfully greeted Brendan and went out. Meanwhile, because Deirdre was suffering from an
intense. headache, she went to the kitchen to get a couple of painkillers.
As soon as she got to the kitchen, Brendan followed her.
He had a strong aura, so even though he didn’t speak and Deirdre couldn’t see him, she would always
feel goosebumps in his presence.
“Leaving as soon as you saw me?” Brendan said in an indifferent tone, as though he had been frigid all
this time. It was only when he faced Charlene that he would show rare tenderness.
With downcast eyes, Deirdre fumbled to open the cabinet on the far left. After doing that, she
explained, No, I just want to take some painkillers. I’ve had a headache since I woke up not long ago.”
“You haven’t had any food, have you?”
“No, I haven’t,” Deirdre replied. She found the bottle, unscrewed the cap, but before she could pour the
pills out, it was taken away. Following that, Brendan handed over the box he was carrying to her. “Don’t
take painkillers before your meal. Eat this first.”
“What’s this?”
The box was rather heavy and felt like a meal box.
Brendan calmly changed his expression. “Open it up and you will know.”
He had been in line since noon- two hours ago-to get this box. He could recall that Deirdre liked it.
Deirdre didn’t know why Brendan had asked her to do so but she still fumbled to open it, took the food
out of the box, and when she brought it to her mouth, she smelled the pungent smell of meat floss and
sweetness
That sticky feeling made Deirdre unconsciously retch.
Brendan was furious. “Wisat is it?”
He knew Deirdre couldn’t be pregnant. Hence, he wondered whether she was resisting eating the
dessert
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin her hands on purpose.
Deirdre had been retching to the point that her eyes were red. Hence, she threw away the dessert in
her hand without a second thought.
The ball of buttery meat floss fell on Brendan’s foot. Deirdre washed her hands frantically, but she still
couldn’t stop that nauseous feeling.
Brendan furrowed his brows, and his face turned gloomy. He reached out to grab Deirdre’s shoulder
and said while resisting the urge to get angry, “What do you mean by that, McKinnon? Wasn’t this your
favorite dessert before?”
“My favorite dessert?” Deirdre gritted her teeth to swallow her jealousy and sneered with red eyes, “No,
you’re mistaken. This is Charlene’s favorite. I hate meat floss and butter the most!”
“Impossible!” Brendan shot back. “I remember clearly that when I bought it for you on Lena’s birthday,
you had it all and requested that I buy more for you!”
Deirdre wanted to laugh, but tears welled up in her eyes.
The reason she’d had it all was because Brendan had given it to her.
At the time, Brendan had been her everything. Even though he had bought her meat floss, which she
detested, even if he had given her a piece of raw, bloody meat, she would have willingly eaten it. After
all, there were only a handful of things that Brendan would buy for her.
