Chapter 691 Stay and Keep Me Company
Charlene's eyes were bloodshot, and she said in a grievous tone, "Brendan, I’m supposed to be the
one you love! What have I done wrong? Why are you treating me like this!"
Brendan expressed his disgust. "Shut up! I considered myself blinded in the past. You're no longer the
kind Charlene who risked your life to save me, and I won't trust you anymore!" 1
Had he not been blinded by love in the past, Deirdre would not have had to endure hardships in prison,
and she would not... She would not loathe him so much that he would need to assume a different
identity to be with her.
Charlene went from being hopeless to calm. She wiped away her tears and said, "However, you have
no choice but to be with me to acquire the information for Deirdre, no matter how much you hate me."
She cracked a smile. "As long as you're willing to be with me, we will spend more time with each other.
I assure you I'll make you fall in love with me once again."
"I don't know how you can be so confident to think I'd fall in love with a malicious woman like you."
Brendan could not be bothered to take an extra glance at her. He opened the door in preparation to

Charlene immediately roared, "Where are you going!?"
Soon afterward, she bit her lower lip and feigned her grievance. "You're going to see Deirdre and
comfort her, aren't you? I won't allow that, Brendan. I won’t allow that! You’re only allowed to stay and
keep me company today."
Brendan furrowed his eyebrows and expressed his disgust.
Charlene turned a blind eye to his reaction. On the contrary, she cracked a gentle smile. "I know that
you'll make the choice for Deirdre."
After leaving the restaurant, Deirdre calmed down when she felt the intense cold wind. She stood at the
intersection and felt an ineffable feeling spreading over his chest.
She found it ridiculous that she would actually feel hurt to be in Brendan's presence when he behaved
that way.
Perhaps, she hated her past self more and thought about how she was so blinded by love back then
that she would give Brendan the chance to torment her over and over again.
"Miss McKinnon..."
Deirdre was jolted back to reality and realized that Whelan had been standing right next to her all this
time.
Deirdre felt guilty upon hearing the concern in his tone.
"I’m sorry, Mr. McKinnon. I didn't expect the event today to transpire in this manner and that you'd be
implicated until you had to stand in the cold with me. You should go home."
"How about you then?" Whelan's expression was solemn. He hesitated for a moment before he
decided to speak. 'That man... is Brendan Brighthall from Neve, right? Miss McKinnon... were you and
him... lovers in the past?"
Deirdre smiled bitterly.
'Lovers in the past? I'm just a replacement without any recognition, as always.'
"We were in the past. However, we’ve already gotten a divorce."

Whelan could not help feeling astonished. He could see Deirdre’s charm and knew that Deirdre and he
were of different worlds. Yet, he did not expect that they would be separated by such a huge gap
between their worlds.
Brendan was a well-known entrepreneur in Neve who was young and capable. xo dot com
Brendan was so prestigious that an ordinary man like Whelan could not stand upright in Brendan’s
presence. How about Deirdre, who had married Brendan then?
He felt unwell in his heart and forced a smile while he said, "I didn't expect you to be so... impressive,
Miss McKinnon. You're not only acquainted with Brendan Brighthall, but you were also legally married
to him."
Deirdre knew that Whelan had misunderstood, but she could not be bothered to explain.
She understood Whelan's thinking to a certain extent but decided that she would take it calmly since he
refused to probe more. However, she did not wish for their relationship to go further than its current
state.
"It's possible that I won’t be returning to the restaurant anymore, I don't feel like eating. I would like to
go home and rest earlier." She raised her head, her hair blowing in the wind, and said in a weary voice,
"Mr.
McKinnon, will you please take the trouble to notify Glenna and Ms. Lowe on my behalf?"
