Chapter 177 It’s Only Because He Needs an Heir
She was left all alone in the villa that particular afternoon, as the doctor had coincidentally left to
purchase something for the prescription.
She was bored of staying in the room, so she felt her way downstairs. She heard noise from outside as
soon as she got to the living room and assumed that the doctor was back. Then, she heard the sound
of high heels clicking on the tiles, approaching her.
Charlene showed up at the door arrogantly, and Deirdre could feel her hatred even from a few meters
away.
Deirdre did not find it surprising In fact, she felt that Charlene was late to see her.
She ignored Charlene and leaned back on the sofa. Charlene sneered upon smelling the pungent smell
in the air. “Why does the house smell so strongly of medication? Deirdre, are you dying?”
There was no one else around them, so Charlene had spoken in a harsh tone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDeirdre answered nonchalantly. “I’m sorry for disappointing you, Ms. McKinney. I won’t be dying
anytime soon. The medication prescribed to me will help me get pregnant Brendan hired a doctor to
treat me, and I heard that the medication is very effective. You can have a taste if you like.”
“What?”
Charlene’s beautiful eyes widened, and her delicately pretty face was shocked.
‘Brendan assigned a doctor to come here and treat Deirdre specifically just because Deirdre has been
diagnosed with infertility?
‘What is he trying to do!
‘It is very difficult for me to meet Brendan these days as it is!”
“You’re lying! How is your infertility any of Brendan’s business?” Charlene calmed down completely
after a brief moment and sneered in contempt. “Deirdre, I know your position in Brendan’s heart better
than you! Brendan knows that I am the one who disemboweled and dismembered your puppy yet he
still chose to forgive me willingly. This signifies that I’m his first choice to be his wife, so why would he
care if an insignificant woman is capable of becoming pregnant?”
Before Deirdre could answer, Charlene said with a twisted expression, “Even if he does care about
your fertility, it’s only because of my health, which makes it inconvenient to get pregnant. After all, the
Brighthalls need an heir!”
Deirdre was stunned for a moment when she heard Charlene’s remark clearly. She then realized
instantly why Brendan insisted on getting her pregnant.
‘It’s no wonder he cares about my infertility. It’s because Charlene cannot get pregnant.
‘He wants me to go through pregnancy for ten months and risk my life in labor so I can give birth to a
child who will address Charlene as mommy.”
At the thought of the man making a convincing remark for her own good, Deirdre clenched her fists
tightly and could not help trembling from anger!
Charlene stared at Deirdre’s changed expression and curled her red lips into a smirk. “Why, Deirdre?
Could you have such a wild imagination that you thought that Brendan would want to have a child with

Charlene bantered recklessly while Deirdre grew disappointed.
‘I do not have a wild imagination but I still find how heartless that man can be totally amusing.
‘Why didn’t I realize that in the past?”
“Yikes. Frankly, Brendan has always wanted to have a child with me, but I can’t because I haven’t
gone. through fertility treatment. He can’t bear to see me suffering through the treatment so… But don’t
worry, Deirdre. I will treat the child that you’ll carry for ten months like my own biological child…”
“Are you done?” Deirdre suppressed her anger and looked at Charlene. “It seems that you’ve forgotten.
something, Ms. McKinnon. Brendan and I are still married. Even if we do get pregnant, the child will not
be related to you in the slightest! Plus, shouldn’t Brendan arrange for a doctor to treat you if you’re
unwell? He’s trying everything just to get me pregnant, when you still can’t have a child of your own,
Ms. McKinney. Shouldn’t you pity yourself? What’s there to be proud of?”
Charlene’s expression changed drastically. Deirdre had actually become sharp-tongued after winning.
