Chapter 554 Set Up on a Date in Eastgene
After Declan left, Deirdre stretched out her hand and felt for the business card placed on the bedside.
table.
The business card was made of sturdy materials, just like the man’s mannerisms. The corners of the business card
felt so sharp it could cut through skin, and the writing etched onto the card’s surface could be felt just by touching it
with one’s fingers.
Brendan had come prepared. He knew she was blind, so he left a business card she could read with her
touch.
‘Does he think I will agree to his condition?”
Filled with boundless rage, Deirdre wished she could throw away the business card. Yet, in the next moment, she
was reminded by a voice in her head, “Are you really going to give up on the chance to get a divorce?”
If she agreed to his condition, she could be rid of interacting with this man for eternity in exchange.

past marriage. She knew this was a rare opportunity for her to do so.
Deirdre lay back on the bed, but she was having trouble falling asleep.
She was worried that there would be unforeseen events.
Deirdre was still incapable of falling asleep until daybreak the following day. On the contrary, Declan woke up early
and knocked on her door to inform her that he was leaving.
Deirdre draped a jacket over herself and opened the door. Her expression was tainted with a tinge of surprise. “So
early? Why don’t you stay for another ten minutes or so? I’ll cook you breakfast. You can leave after having
breakfast.”
“It’s fine, I” Declan wanted to explain when he abruptly saw the marks on Deirdre’s neck and stopped speaking for
a moment.
He suddenly realized what was with the commotion in the next room last night.
“Mr. King?”
Declan recovered from his surprise and said, “I have a flight to catch to Eastgene, and an in-flight meal will be
provided. The flight is taking off at 7:30 a.m., so I’m going to be late if I stay.
“Eastgene?” Deirdre felt her heart racing.
Nothing good came out of Eastgene every time Declan traveled there in a rush. “What’s going on in Eastgene?”
“Nothing much. It’s my sister-in-law’s birthday, and they’re throwing her a party at home. I wasn’t planning on
going initially. However, my eldest brother told me he wanted to introduce a girl to me.” Declan fell silent for a
moment. “So, I have to be back.”
Deirdre inhaled sharply. She thought about how Declan’s eldest brother had gone too far with his action.
Declan did not even manage to maintain a righteous relationship with his sister-in-law, yet his eldest brother had
actually ordered him to attend the party. Not only that, but Declan’s eldest brother also wanted to introduce him to
a girl before the eyes of everyone there.
Declan said in a relaxed tone, noticing the change in Deirdre’s expression, “It’s fine. I’m already 24 to 25
years old, so it’s very normal for someone to try to set me up on a date. Moreover, it will be very busy during the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmparty, so my brother may not have time to mind me.”
Deirdre did not think so.
Perhaps the party was specially organized for Declan.
She appeared overwhelmed with emotions, while Declan chuckled and said, “Relax. You look like I’m about to get
myself killed, Miss McKinnon. Don’t worry. I’m not opposed to being set up on a date. The only troubling part about
this trip is that I may need to stay in Eastgene for a few days.
“It’s fine.” Deirdre immediately said, “There’s enough food in the refrigerator to last me a week. I’ve lived alone for
a long time, so I don’t need people caring for me. Don’t worry about me.”
“Hmm.” Declan nodded. “You can call me anytime if you need anything, and I’ll get someone to send it to you.“
“Sure.”
Declan raised his hand to check the time and discovered it was almost time. He gave a few gentle reminders
before he left. Deirdre discovered that he was also bringing luggage, so it seemed that he would be staying in
Eastgene for some time.
The house was empty after Kyran’s departure, and now, Declan was traveling to Eastgene. Deirdre felt as if the
house was deserted.
