Chapter 253 Don’t Wish to Let Her Slip Away
‘Now that there’s a customer, he is also here for her.‘
“Ah, the pianist, huh? She’s busy with her blind date now.”
Brendan stopped flipping through the menu. His dark eyes narrowed when he said, ” Blind date?”
“Yes.” The waitress tittered. “It’s true that she is good at playing the piano, but she’s hideous and blind.
No man would ever be attracted to her, so the cleaning lady kindly arranged a blind date for her. Even
though the man is seven or eight years older than her, a woman like her doesn’t have many options.”
Coldness flashed past Brendan’s dark eyes. The waitress felt a chill down her spine when she saw
Brendan’s gaze and forced a smile. “What happened, sir?”
“Where is she?”
The waitress was stunned. Then, she pointed at the corner and said, “There.”
Deirdre and the man were sitting in a blind corner that one would not see without paying close attention
to the area. Brendan shifted his gaze to the man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne could totally describe him as grotesque.
He snorted. Even though Deirdre was blind, she should make better choices.
However, he saw the bright smile on Deirdre’s face in an instant. She was laughing so hard that her
body was shaking. Even though her gaze was empty, the joy on her face could not be concealed.
At that very moment, Brendan furrowed his eyebrows ferociously. After all, he had not seen Deirdre
laughing so joyously lately.
“So it turns out that this is just how the cleaning lady behaves. She is reckless. indeed.” Deirdre took a
sip of water. “I told her that I’m not looking into marriage currently, but she was very insistent that she
had already invited you here today.”
“I’m very frustrated as well.” The man shrugged and said, “She called me more than ten times today.
But I understand that this is just how life is when you grow older. The people around me are always on
the lookout to get me a girlfriend because they are afraid I’ll be lonely for the rest of my life.”
Deirdre nodded while she stretched out her hand to reach for the glass once again.
This time, she misjudged the angle and knocked over the glass, drenching her dress. instantly.
“Are you alright, Ms. McKinnon?!”
The man gasped and grabbed some napkins in an attempt to help Deirdre dry her dress. “You still need
to perform on stage later. It will look bad if your dress is wet!”
Deirdre was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and stretched out her arms in an attempt to stop
the man. “It’s fine… Don’t worry, I’m fine…”
She stretched out her arms to shield herself from the man. Her arms were beautiful, slender, and fair.
The man was distracted by the beauty of her arms for a moment. Then, he chuckled. “Don’t be shy, Ms.
McKinnon. I have a younger sister at home and I’m used to taking care of others anyway. You can’t
see, so it would be difficult for you to clean up.”
He helped Deirdre clean up meticulously bit by bit but he could not help saying, “To be frank, I am
looking for someone as joyous and gentle as you to spend the rest of my life with, Ms. McKinnon.
Besides, I’m really good at taking care of people. If you
were…
“If you were what?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDeirdre was caught off guard by the voice that came from behind her. She felt goosebumps, and
astoundment filled her eyes.
‘Brendan? Why is he here?”
The man did not understand the situation yet. He looked at Brendan, who was wearing a branded suit,
with an elegant, graceful mannerism and approached him, yet Brendan’s eyes were glistening with
rage, as if he wanted to kill someone.
He did not answer, but Brendan pressured him by asking, “If you were what?”
The man could not bring himself to continue his sentence but said in confusion, “Sir, how… how can I
help you?”
Deirdre felt her chest tighten and she got up from her seat in a haste. She was afraid that Brendan
would lose his temper and she was even more afraid that he would ruin. her calm workplace
atmosphere. She said with a pale face, “I’m sorry, Mr. Carlson. This is a customer who is here to watch
my performance. He has grown impatient from the wait and he is hot–tempered. How about… we put
an end to today’s meeting? Is that alright?”
Trevor felt unwilling to part with Deirdre.
He was not picky anymore at his age and he did not wish to let a well–mannered
woman like Deirdre slip away.
