Chapter 718 I Don't Want to Let Go of You

"Kyran..."

Deirdre felt that there was something wrong with them. She bit her lip and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Kyran pushed the hair in front of her forehead to the back of her head gently and said, "What's the matter? Did you not want me to come home early to keep you company?”

"That's not what I meant..." Deirdre's voice became lower. "I was just a little bit surprised."

Kyran grabbed her hand and brought her over to his side. "It's been a long time since I spent time with you, so I decided to spend the day with you today.”

Deirdre let out a dry laugh.

For some reason, she felt that Kyran was putting on a show to flaunt their close relationship in front of Tobey.

This made her feel slightly uncomfortable. She did not like to act all lovey- dovey in front of people she knew.

"So he's the boyfriend you've been talking about, Deirdre?" Tobey chimed in. "He doesn't seem at all like what you told me. You said that your boyfriend was very gentle and understanding, but it now seems to me that he is kind of... aggressive? I'm sure he must be very successful in his career."

Kyran squinted his eyes, and Tobey said with a smile, "Since you're not available today, we should meet again some other time. I have an appointment with my friend, so it's time for me to go.”

"Okay." Deirdre nodded.

"Take care of yourself, Tobey.”

"Okay, remember to call me when you're free. As long as you want something, I won't hesitate to help.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Tobey shifted his gaze from Deirdre over to Kyran. Then, he left with a grin on his face.

As soon as the door was closed, Kyran asked, "What is he talking about? What did you ask him to help you with?"

It went without saying that Deirdre could not let Kyran know about the photo. She was worried that he would confront Brendan if he learned about it.

"It's nothing..." Deirdre said as she clutched the book tightly. "I just asked Tobey to help me take care of my mother's house after we left."

"You could’ve told him just now. Why did he ask you to call him again?"

“Kyran?” Deirdre blinked. She felt that Kyran was in a bad mood today. After a long silence, she asked, "Is everything alright, Kyran? It seems to me that you're in a bad mood today."

Kyran froze. He felt like someone had hit him in the head and he realized what he had done. Perhaps he had taken on the role of Brendan and he had been too emotionally tense for too long. When Tobey had provoked him just now, he had lost control of his own emotions.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh with you.”

Deirdre lowered her head and said, “It's okay. I'm just worried about you. After all, you seem like you just had a bad day.”

And that scared her.

Kyran fell silent for a moment and slowly pulled her into his arms. He took a breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I just... I just feel insecure. I was scared and worried, so I lost my temper there.”

‘You feel insecure?” Deirdre raised her head to look at Kyran.

‘Yeah. I haven't offered you any help ever since we got together. I have to leave early and come back late every day, and you have to stay at home alone at all times. I have failed as your husband,” Kyran said, mocking himself. "I was worried that you would leave me to be with Tobey. After all, he can give you a better life than I can.

“But Deirdre, I don't want to let go of you. I can't live without you.”

Deirdre's pupils constricted. As she listened to Kyran's desperate and helpless voice, she felt as if something had struck her and her heart melted.

She was confident that anyone would be touched when they heard what Kyran had said, let alone her.

After all, he was Kyran. He was always calm and collected and could solve every problem to perfection. He had been with her through thick and thin. She just had not expected a perfect man like him to feel scared. She did not know that he could feel insecure as well and that he thought he did not deserve to be with her.
