Chapter 486 Hoyt Leigh’s Ex-Girlfriend
They finally reached their destination, though neither of them expected a crowd today. The place was so jam-
packed that they had to step down from the bike and finish the rest of the journey on foot.
Hoyt could not stop repeating every once in a while, “Please follow me, Miss McKinnon. Don’t get lost in the crowd!”
He kept reminding her enough that Deirdre could not stop teasing him. “Heehee. I’m an adult, you know. Not a
kid?”
Hoyt turned and caught her gentle smile, and his cheeks burned… again. “I… I didn’t mean I meant, you’re not
familiar with this place, and your eyes aren’t very good, so if you get lost, you won’t know where
to find me!”
“It’s going to be fine. If I get lost, I’ll just stand where I am. I know you’ll locate me again until you find me.”

He sped up his pace a little and led Deirdre to a shop. Parking his bike in its front, he said, “Here you go. Check
around and see if there’s anything you like. Just pick it when you find something you want.”
“Okay.” Deirdre pushed open the door and scanned the blurry interior of the shop. She walked near the racks and
carefully felt each clothing’s fabric. All of them seemed sturdy enough to weather the cold.
She was about to ask for the size when she heard a woman cry, “Hoyt? It’s really you!”
She raised her head and saw a woman shoving her way through her. Deirdre’s vision made discerning her features
impossible, but she could tell the woman was wearing a lot of gilded jewelry. The light bouncing off the edges was
practically blinding her.
Hoyt’s face paled. “W-Why are you here?”
“Uh, to buy clothes? And what about you?” The woman turned to Deirdre and examined her. Her initial vigilance
phased into contempt. “Oh my God. Your taste just keeps reaching for the bottom of the barrel after you left me.
Now you’re actually dating a woman with so many defects?”
Hoyt’s face turned red. He frowned. “Don’t say that about her!”
“Why can’t I?” The woman snapped. “Seriously? You’re getting mad at me because I spoke the truth about your
new girl? Jesus!”
Hoyt was in no mood to quarrel. “Come on, Miss McKinnon. Let’s go somewhere else.”
“Hold it right there! Why are you avoiding me? After all these years, we finally met for the first time, and your
response is to run? And I thought you were still mad at me, but it turns out you changed your heart and found
yourself a new girl after all. God, it’s almost as if you’ve forgotten all about the promise you made! Remember
that? You said I’m the only girl you’d ever love!”
Hoyt was at his wit’s end. “Please, stop this. You ended up with someone else, okay? That promise is void.”

to explain myself to you, okay? My parents forced me. I’ve always loved you, but you’re just… poorer than us. You
left me no choice, but things are different now. Come on, Hoyt. Let’s get back together.”
She shot a smug glare at Deirdre, who remained silent. She could not see very well but knew what was playing out.
Hoyt was stunned. “B-But aren’t you with Mr. Sach now?”
The woman’s eyes twinkled. “Yes, but we haven’t been speaking for a long time now. It’s times like these that make
me miss you. I miss the times when we were together. When you would treat me right. So, how about it? We’ll put
the past behind and start over again, okay?”
Before Hoyt answered her, Deirdre suddenly spoke airily. “Are you willing to be his wife?”
“What the h*ll?” The woman’s expression darkened, and hostility colored her tone. “Excuse me, who are you
supposed to be? Why are you commenting on our business?”
Deirdre smiled. “It’s just a question for clarification. I think Mr. Leight is thinking the same as well. You want to start
over again with him, right? So, are you divorced?”
