Chapter 304 Who Is This Man?

“Sure.” Madame Russell sent over the ingredients.

Tobey got up as well. “I’ll help.”

Deirdre did not decline, but she devoted her full attention to feel for the tools she needed in the kitchen. Her bangs tucked behind her ears scattered before her eyes when she lowered her head to mix the ingredients.

Tobey stared at her for a long time before he stretched out his hand.

Deirdre took a step back abruptly yet consciously, as if she was hypervigilant.

Tobey was stunned for a moment before he tried to explain himself, “Your hair is in the way. Let me help you tuck it.”

“Is that so…” Deirdre was embarrassed. She had a hard time trusting outsiders because of what Brendan had done, yet Tobey was not an outsider but a neighbor who would help her frequently in the past.

“I’m sorry that I was caught off guard.”

“It’s fine,” Tobey answered in a gentle voice. “It’s normal for you to be vigilant because of impairment. This is a good thing. If you’re still as naive and trustful as you were in the past, I would be worried that you might get hurt.”

Every word he spoke was out of sincerity.

Deirdre could not help being stunned, and she changed the topic of conversation when she recovered from her surprise. “You don’t have a girlfriend, huh, Tobey?”

“That’s right.” Tobey added water to her mixture and said smilingly, “Why? Are you surprised?”

“Hmm.” Deirdre nodded. “I remembered you being very popular, tall, and handsome. You should have already had a girlfriend and been married by now. Is it because you are too demanding?”

“No.” Tobey denied it without hesitation. He looked at Deirdre for a long time as if he wanted to say something to her. He hesitated for a short while before he answered smilingly, “I still haven’t met anyone suitable. It would be unfair to marry a woman just so I could settle down, so I’m still waiting. I’m still waiting for that person in my heart to appear again.”

‘Again?”

Deirdre was stunned for a moment, as if she noticed something in his remark. She did not respond to the remark, but Tobey said, “Deirdre.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Hmm?”

“You have flour on your face.”

“Where is it?” Deirdre’s hands were covered in flour, so she could only wipe randomly with her sleeves. As a result, her face was covered in flour stains.

“Hold on” Tobey lifted Deirdre’s chin and wiped away the flour stuck to her face in all apparent seriousness. He could feel the uneven texture of her scars, and it tainted his gaze with pity. “It’s done.” Deirdre lowered her head.

No one knew, but a pitch-black pinhole camera had been installed on a wall in the courtyard, aiming at the living room.

“Did you find her?”

In a shady room, a man was seated in a dim corner with an intravenous infusion in his hand. Half of his face away from the shadow looked sick yet cold as ice.

The incoming person hastily presented the photo. “Here.”

Brendan clutched the photos tightly and glared at the photo with his dark eyes. The person standing at the door would shiver in fear every time Brendan took a glance at the photo.

After a long time, Brendan asked calmly, “Who is this man?” His tone was filled with boundless coldness.

The man standing at the door trembled subconsciously and felt his back drenched in a cold sweat. He said shakily, “Ms. McKinnon is living with her neighbor, and this man is the neighbor’s son. His name is Tobey Russell.”

“Tobey Russell.” Brendan chanted, his eyes filled with coldness. His fingertips tightened, and he tore up the photo bit by bit into shreds before he crumpled it in his palm.

“Deirdre…”

He raised his head and chanted the woman’s name. He could not care about the backflow of venous blood in his intravenous line, but his mind was only filled with the woman’s smile and her confused expression after Tobey touched her without flinching.

He should have known that Deirdre was an extremely charming woman. Even with her blindness and disfigured face, she would always be surrounded by suitors who liked her.
