Chapter 695 His Scent

Declan was receptive enough to notice that something was off. He asked with furrowed eyebrows, “What is going on?”

Brendan placed his phone on the table and lit a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the dark night and plants blowing in the wind outside the window, surrounded by smoke. His heart, which was boiling over with pain, only calmed down gradually at this very moment.

“I bailed out Charlene.”

Declan did not pay much attention to the case because he had more important tasks to attend to. He was surprised when he heard that.

“What happened?”

He could not help feeling that Brendan had lost his mind. He furrowed his eyebrows and speculated, saying, ‘Were you threatened?”

Sooner or later, Charlene would discover that Kyran was Brendan. It would be inevitable for her to want to take Brendan down with her when she found out about the situation and threatened Brendan with this.

Declan found it strange because how could Brendan be threatened if he were to migrate to Germia with Deirdre now? After all, Charlene would not have the opportunity to interact with Deirdre.

A trivial idea emerged in his mind without his notice.

Declan said in all apparent seriousness, “Tell me the truth, Brendan. What is she using to threaten you?”

Brendan’s dark eyes were overwhelmed with emotions when he heard the remark. His dark eyes glistened as he stared into the night, making him appear lonelier as he was surrounded by smoke.

Brendan was about to speak when he suddenly heard a commotion from Deirdre’s room. Brendan responded by hanging up the phone and walking to her room.

After turning on the light, he found Deirdre already lying on the ground. Her hair was messy, and she was breathing heavily.

Brendan’s gaze was filled with concern that he could not hide when he stepped forward to help her to her feet. ‘What happened, Deirdre? Did you have a nightmare again?”

Deirdre breathed deeply repeatedly, yet she could not stop her body from shaking. She clutched Brendan’s collar and leaned on his chest. She nodded when she calmed down and said, “Hmm, I had a nightmare.”

Brendan caressed her hair gently. “It’s alright. Those are all just dreams. I’ll be here with you always and won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Deirdre calmed down completely.

Brendan said, “Let me help you get to bed.”

He exerted some strength in his arms to help her get into the bed and lie down. Just as he was preparing to leave, Deirdre suddenly clutched his hand tightly.

Brendan was stunned. “What’s going on?”

Deirdre had difficulty finding words, and Brendan was slow to understand the situation. “Are you scared?”

Meanwhile, Deirdre could not care about being embarrassed anymore. She said in a muffled voice, “Kyran, since you’re going to sleep in your room, you can sleep just as well in this room anyway. Will you… stay?”

Her mind was only set at ease when Kyran was with her. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Brendan’s gaze turned extremely gentle. He kissed Deirdre’s forehead and said, “Sure.”

He chuckled and said, “However, I haven’t changed into fresh clothes today, so I might smell of cigarettes.”

Deirdre’s face blushed. “It’s fine.”

Brendan removed his jacket with a smile and lay next to Deirdre. He cuddled her gently in his arms. Deirdre could not help shivering when she felt his strong, thick arms slide down the skin on her waist.

Her body was curled up, and her pupils glistened in the dark. She felt rather troubled.

On the other hand, Brendan pulled up the blanket next to her feet.

“Don’t worry. You’re unwell today, so we’re just going to cuddle to sleep and nothing else.”

The man’s voice gave her a sense of security. She felt relieved and slightly embarrassed. She could not help smelling Brendan’s scent when she leaned her head on his chest.

His body emitted an ineffable scent-she seemed to remember smelling this scent somewhere before.
