Chapter 243 Bought a Gift for Everyone

“Ah, ah.” Dr. Ginger adjusted his tie and said, looking unconcerned, “From Ms. McKinnon. Didn’t she go shopping today? She came home with gifts and brought me this tie. Sam got a gift too. His gift was a phone accessory.”

Sam, who was following Brendan, was caught off guard for a moment.

Brendan’s sharp eyebrows were tightly furrowed. He had given Deirdre permission to go out yet she seemed to be thinking about other men too. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where is the phone accessory?”

Dr. Ginger pointed at the coffee table and said, “I have one more appointment today, Mr. Brighthall. I shall…”

“Go.”

Brendan waved his hand to dismiss Dr. Ginger impatiently and made his way to the coffee table swiftly. There was a phone case with a puppy print in the gift box on the coffee table, and the case looked unusually adorable.

When Sam’s gaze landed on the case, he could not look away.

Brendan turned around and glared at Sam with an icy gaze. “Do you like it?”

Sam shook her head and said hesitantly, “Ms. McKinnon got this for me, so I can’t let her kind intention go to waste.”

As he was speaking, he was about to take the phone accessory. After all, it belonged

to him.

Brendan flew into a great rage instantly and grabbed the phone accessory along with the gift box. “Her kind intention won’t be wasted if I keep it.”

Sam grumbled in his heart but did not have the courage to express it. He said, “I believe that Ms. McKinnon has bought gifts for everyone, so you will most certainly get yours too, Mr. Brighthall. Perhaps your gift is in your room.”

Deirdre was a meticulous person. Even though she had not enjoyed showing herself in public during their two years of marriage, she would do a perfectly good job with each of the tasks assigned to her. Her choice of gifts this time had been exactly to Sam and Dr. Ginger’s liking.

Although Brendan felt displeased, he looked forward to his gift.

‘What would Deirdre give to me as a gift then?‘

At that thought, he suppressed his eagerness yet could not help walking upstairs. He suddenly stopped when he was halfway there and told Sam, “That’s all for you today. You may head home and come back tomorrow.”

Upon saying that, Brendan went upstairs, and the first thing he did was open the door to his room.

However, he did not see any trace of a gift on the bed, sofa, bookshelf, or any other

spot.

He went to the study and he still did not find anything.

‘Could Deirdre have the gift and be planning on handing it to me in person?‘

As soon as the thought popped into his mind, Brendan’s cold lips unprecedentedly curled into a faint smile.

‘The usually dull Deirdre has learned how to surprise me with a gift.‘

He stayed on the first floor and waited on purpose, but Deirdre still had not come downstairs by the time it was almost nine o’clock. At the very moment that he lost his patience, Deirdre opened the door of her room and walked out with a glass in her

hand.

She felt her way down the stairs cautiously and walked to the kitchen when Brendan let out a cough.

Deirdre stopped walking, and there was a tinge of confusion in her eyes. “Brendan?”

“Hmm,” he replied nonchalantly.

“You… Aren’t you usually in the study or your room at this time? Why are you hanging out on the first floor all of a sudden?”

Brendan took a side glance at Deirdre and noticed that she was not hiding a gift. under her clothes. He furrowed his eyebrows, stopped beating about the bush, and asked, “Did you buy gifts for Dr. Ginger and Sam during your shopping trip today?”

Deirdre realized what was happening abruptly and bit her lower lip. “Yes, I walked past an apparel store and the idea of getting a gift occurred to me… Uh…”

Brendan shook the document in his hands and waited impatiently. Then, Deirdre said, “I’ll return the money to you.”
