I'll Protect You
Deirdre was distracted from her thoughts. She was about to get up when Brendan took the lead to
open the door and saw the bellboy standing at the door.
The bellboy smiled and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Brighthall. Our hotel is organizing a party at the
pool. The scenery there is amazing. Our manager sent me to inquire whether you're interested in
having dinner there. We can book a reservation for you."
"Party?"
Yes, it's a fun event that we organize once every six months."
Brendan turned his head to take a glance at Deirdre. It was bad for her to stay in the room frequently,
and she needed to walk around more often, so he nodded.
"Book a reservation for me tonight. I'll be there."
Brendan and Deirdre headed to the pool area during dinner time.
They were very quiet all the time when they had nothing else to talk about. Even when they were
seated at their seats and listening to others chatting leisurely, Deirdre did not have the desire to speak.
She abided by Brendan's order to eat out but did not wish to get involved further.
After the meals were served, Brendan started a topic of conversation.
"What do you think about Gillian's invitation to Kings Manse tomorrow?"
Deirdre raised her head in surprise. She could not see the man's face clearly with her vision, nor could
she figure out from the tone of his voice if he was teasing her on purpose or was seeking her opinion
sincerely.
She forked her pasta and said, “I don’t know Gillian's conduct well enough, but I believe he should hate
me after the party's incident. There can only be two possibilities for him to extend the invitation out of
nowhere. It can either be he has an ill- intentioned motive, or he's purely trying to draw you over to his
side.”
Brendan agreed with the two possibilities. He said, "Are you scared if it's the first possibility?"
‘What should I be scared of?”
"If he is ill-intentioned, he will be targeting you.” Brendan's eyes were overwhelmed with complicated
emotions. "Aren't you scared that you'll be in trouble?”
Deirdre took a bite of the pasta and smiled nonchalantly. "It would be impossible for me not to be
scared of an unscrupulous man like Gillian. However, I think that he won’t take action on me so openly
in your presence. As long as it doesn't affect my safety, there's nothing to be afraid of.”
Brendan's gaze turned gentle. He rapidly took a sip of the liquor to return his face to its prior coldness.
"I'll protect you."
Deirdre was stunned.
It was his promise to set her mind at ease.
Her soft lips moved, but she could not bring herself to say "Thank you". On the contrary, she changed
the topic of conversation and said, "Are you going to collaborate with Gillian?"
Brendan paused for a moment. ‘Why do you ask?"
"It's very apparent that Gillian is leaning toward collaborating with you. Are you going to choose to work
with Gillian because of Declan? After all, this is the best, quickest way to take revenge on Declan,”
Deirdre said with delight. In truth, she was worried about this matter for a long time.
If Brendan were to work with Gillian, Declan would not be able to make his comeback anymore.
Brendan scrutinized Deirdre's minute change of expression. His flawlessly handsome face was
nonchalant, and his legs were crossed. Instead of answering her question, he asked, "So, are you
trying to talk me out of collaborating with Gillian?”
"Gillian’s willingness to make a move on his younger brother without any concern for the family's
reputation signifies he has no one else in his heart other than himself. You might benefit from the
collaboration with him within a short period, but he will never form a bond with you and can easily turn
his back on you.”
Brendan smirked. ‘You do make feasible speculations, but it's not enough to convince me. What if I am
looking for short-term gains?"
