Chapter 239 Familiar–Looking Woman

It was Brendan’s first time relenting and giving her permission to go out.

Deirdre’s empty eyes were glistening with a glint. Brendan said, “Sam won’t be coming, so only both of you are going Remember to be back before six and don’t catch a cold.”

“Alright.” Deirdre was delighted. “We will be back soon.”

“Hmm.” Brendan was done with his breakfast, so he was preparing to leave. He tossed an ATM card to Deirdre before he left. “There are four million dollars in the card, so there should be more than enough to cover the expenditure for both of you today. Call me if it’s not enough. You know my number.”

“It’s fine…” Deirdre swallowed her words after blurting out her rejection.

They were a married couple now, so it was very normal for Brendan to give money to his wife for shopping. If she were to reject him, it would make them appear estranged and stir up Ophelia’s suspicion easily.

“Alright.”

Brendan did not speak more but left with Sam.

Deirdre and Maeve waited until the weather was warmer before they hailed a cab and headed out. It was already noon by now, and the sun was warm. Deirdre shut her eyes, feeling comfortable as she basked under the sunlight.

She savored the feeling of freedom that she longed for with her mother by her side. An absurd thought suddenly came into her mind at that very moment.

‘It seems rather great…if this situation can continue on.”

“Deirdre.” Maeve approached her smilingly. “Are you tired?”

Deirdre opened her eyes, but the world was still pitch black. However, her slow, numb heart began to pump in a lively manner.

She chuckled and shook her head. “No. I feel that the weather is pretty nice today. It’s warm, and I really

like it.”

Maeve helped to smoothen her messy hair and said, “We shall come here to get some sun later, but we have something else important on hand. Is there anything that you want to buy?”

“Clothes.”

Maeve said, “What type of clothes are you looking for?”

“No.” Deirdre answered, “The clothes are for you.”

Yes, she was using Brendan’s money indeed, but she would figure out a way to pay him back. However, it was no easy feat to get to live with Ophelia, and now that she did it, she did not wish to put her mother through inconveniences.

“Neve’s weather is much colder than the surrounding cities. The clothes you have are all too thin for the weather. We need to get you warmer clothes so you won’t be bothered by the cold.”

Maeve was momentarily stunned, and her eyes were moistened with tears. “It’s fine.”

Deirdre leaned on Maeve and said affectionately, “Don’t disappoint your daughter’s kind intention, will you?”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

They strolled around the shopping mall to shop for clothes. Deirdre could not see the style, so she could only feel its fabric. She would make Maeve try on a piece of clothing if it was made of thick, cold- resistant fabric.

Charlene walked into the shop, her high heels clicking. She removed her shades and was approached by the specialized sales associate. “Ms. McKinney.”

Charlene said with an impatient expression, “Is the winter collection for this year in?”

“Yes, the winter collection is displayed in the back lounge. Please follow me.”

She was preparing to walk when she took a side glance at her surroundings and stopped abruptly.

There was an emaciated–looking woman with her hair tied up and had her back facing Charlene. Charlene found the sight of the woman to be very familiar, so she took two steps forward and saw the side of Deirdre’s face. She inhaled sharply.

‘Deirdre?‘

Charlene immediately looked to the person next to Deirdre and discovered that the person was not Brendan nor Sam but some strange woman that she had never seen before.

She found the sight of the strange woman slightly familiar based on the woman’s style and mannerisms.

‘Who is this woman? Why is Deirdre allowed to be out so ostentatiously?‘

Charlene held the glasses in her hand tightly, her expression displeased. She turned around and asked the sales associate, “When did those two women get here?”

The sales associate shifted her gaze to Deirdre and Maeve and answered in a flattering tone, “They got here ten minutes ago.”
