Jealous of Your Best Friend
Declan was amused. “Why are you being so childish? I’m not going to fight you on this. You can have
all the credit. How have you been feeling recently, Miss McKinnon? Are you doing alright after enduring
hardships in the detention center during your pregnancy?” “No. I have already fully recovered after
resting in the hospital for a few days.”
Deirdre had mixed feelings toward Declan because he was an accomplice who had deceived her, but
Declan had put his heart and soul into doing things for her other than this particular situation.
“Great then.” Declan smiled and said, “My trip is worth it.”
Deirdre could tell that Declan was leaving, judging from his tone. “Will you still be returning to
Eastgene, Mr. King? Are you not going to stay for a few more days?” “I would like to stay for a few
more days too because I’ve been thinking about your cooking constantly these days. However, I’m
needed there. I’ll be back to gather with everyone when I’m done dealing with everything.”
Declan did not linger further. He took his luggage and left right away in the same manner he came.
Brendan sent him off while Deirdre got out of the shower and heard the door opening. Brendan walked
over and hugged her, breathing heavily.
Deirdre shoved him once in embarrassment. “Go and take a shower first.
You reek of alcohol.”
Brendan sniffed at himself and let go of Deirdre. He spoke in a tone tainted with grief. ‘You seem to
care a lot about Declan, huh?” “What?” “He said that he is leaving today, but I could tell from the way
you spoke that you wanted him to stay. You sounded like you couldn’t bear to part with him.”
Deirdre was stunned. She came to realize that Brendan was jealous and found it amusing all at once.
‘Why is he jealous of Declan?1 “He’s Declan King, and you’re overthinking.” “Yet, he is handsome,
gentle, and caring.” Brendan insisted.
“That is true indeed,” Deirdre said softly.
Noticing that the ambiance was off, she immediately corrected herself by saying, “Even if he is
handsome, I can’t see because I’m blind. As for gentleness and caring, he treats everyone in the same
manner. Moreover, his caring personality is only on the surface because we’re friends. It’s not as real
as your sincerity.”
Deirdre wished that she could hide upon saying that.
‘It’s truly… absurd…’ “Really?”
Brendan actually believed her. His eyebrows were raised in joy, but he refrained from smiling. However,
his tone was filled with delight when he said, “You’re right that his caring personality is only on the
surface.”
He spoke with feigned depth but was so emotional that he could not refrain from kissing Deirdre’s lips.
“You have a good eye, as usual.”
Deirdre discovered it was unusually easy to appease Brendan. He might have regarded her words as
sincere words from her heart.
“Hmm…” Deirdre felt uneasy, so she changed the topic of conversation and said, “Wasn’t Declan very
free when you were still Kyran? Why is he so busy now that he has to catch a red-eye flight? Can’t he
stay here for a night?”
Brendan’s gaze dimmed substantially at the mention of this matter.
“He was waiting for the right time earlier. Now that the time is here, it’s only natural for him to be busy.
After all, he has been waiting for the time to come no less than ten years.” “The right time?” Deirdre’s
heart was racing. “Are you talking about… the Kings?”
“Hmm.” Brendan removed his tie slowly. “Big changes are coming to Eastgene. Perhaps we might visit
Eastgene when we’re done handling our affairs. A new ruler will lead the Kings.”
Deirdre’s mind went blank. “How about Glenna then?” “Glenna?”
Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. He could not remember within a short period of time when this person
was suddenly mentioned.
