Chapter 823 Because You're the One I Love

After a long while, he admitted by saying, "Yes, I did a great disservice to you.”

Deirdre opened her eyes in surprise. She kept quiet for a while before she said, "I was thinking about how you managed to convince the victim's parents to lie alongside you. What did you give them that was so good that they would go against their conscience?"

She could still remember the married couple's hatred and grumblings when she surrendered herself to the police. They were supposed to wish to execute the murderer badly. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Brendan looked at the woman's distancing figure. He wanted to stretch out his hand to touch her, but he pulled back his hand.

‘The reason is simple.” Brendan removed his jacket and lay with Deirdre. It felt as if that was the only way he could be closer to her. "I gave them enough money for them to live without any worries for the rest of their lives.” ‘That's all?"

Deirdre smiled, but he did not explain further.

The victim was already dead, after all. The victim’s parents would need to think for themselves, but Deirdre still found it shocking that the parents would actually lie for the murderer of their daughter.

‘There’s more,” Brendan answered nonchalantly.

Deirdre paused for a moment. "What else did you promise them?"

Brendan suddenly wrapped his arms around her and breathed evenly down the back of her neck. "Make a guess."

Deirdre struggled for a moment and discovered that her effort was futile. "I can't figure it out. I thought that the daughter was their only child. Did you make arrangements for them to work or something?" ‘They are already at retirement age and have no apprehension in monetary issues, so they don't need jobs."

Deirdre fell silent.

Brendan whispered into her ear, "I promised them I would make the real murderer of their daughter plead guilty."

Deirdre suddenly looked up and turned her face in astonishment.

Brendan came to understand that he did not need to hide anymore after seeing the woman's reaction. 1 ‘What do you mean?"

Deirdre was perplexed.

‘What does he mean by making the real murderer of their daughter plead guilty? Isn't the real murderer of their daughter

Charlene? Is Brendan going to send Charlene to prison personally? i ‘But aren't they together already?’ "It means that I will ensure Charlene goes to prison. I promised you that, and I will clear up your name so you won't need to bear the charge of homicide anymore from then on.”

Deirdre was flabbergasted. In fact, she had even assumed that she had misheard.

Yet, Brendan spoke in such a righteous tone as if he was telling Deirdre that he was not lying and would not lie to her.

Her pupils were shaking. ‘Why?"

Brendan leaned closer, bit the woman's lip, and felt the exchanging of their breaths.

Deirdre was so astounded that she failed to shove him away.

Brendan enjoyed the closeness for a while before he answered, "It is because you're the one I love."

Deirdre was shocked, and her heart was racing.

Initially, Brendan was worried he would scare Deirdre, but he could no longer hold back. He did not want Deirdre to misunderstand him again and to mistake that he still had any feelings for Charlene.

"Deirdre," he called her name softly. "Have you forgotten that I'm not only

Brendan but also Kyran?"

In the pitch-black room, there was only the man’s blazing hot gaze. "Do you doubt Kyran’s love?”

Deirdre pursed her lips tightly, yet she could not stop thinking about the days she had spent with Kyran. She thought about his gentleness, meticulousness, and kindness. It was not unusual for her to fall for Kyran. In fact, it would not be unusual for everyone to fall in love with Kyran.

That was why she had an emotional breakdown and cried for a long time when she found out the truth.
