Chapter 722 I Wonder if I’ve Offended Someone

Declan pondered for a moment.

Before he could answer, Glenna sneered and said, “Mr. King, you make the act of

sleeping with someone sound so refreshing and refined.”

Declan furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly. “That’s not what I mean.”

Glenna asked, “What do you mean then? You don’t love me, yet you want to take care

of me as my boyfriend. What else are you trying to say if not this?”

She mocked herself by saying, “Should I feel honored that I’m capable of charming

Mr. King with my appearance and identity? I should be grateful that I’m so blessed.”

Declan subconsciously shifted his gaze to the face and figure that Glenna was

referring to.

The woman belittled herself improperly. In truth, Declan found her to be very pretty,

and her figure was also quite amazing.

He swallowed a gulp of saliva without his notice. Declan said, “It’s possible that I

spoke inappropriately without considering your feelings. What I’m trying to say is that I

know that I’ve disappointed you in some ways, so I am good with complying with you

to make you happy. I can do many things with you as long as it’s for your happiness.”

“For my happiness?” Glenna could not refrain from bursting out with laughter. She

laughed so ferociously that her eyes were reddened with tears. She sniffed and said,

“Mr. King… Oh, I’m sorry. Declan, you’re so good at insulting others.”

Even if Declan was trying to appease someone, he would never say something so

blunt in view of his high emotional intelligence. In other words, he was insulting her

repeatedly so she would know how he found her feelings for him ridiculous.

“I’m not.” Declan furrowed his eyebrows.

Glenna did not wish to listen to his explanation anymore. “Don’t worry. I’m best at

knowing my limits. You don’t need to remind me over and over again. I don’t have

feelings for you anymore.”

Declan’s gaze changed rapidly when she said that.

Meanwhile, Whelan walked out of the company building. “Glenna, I saw you standing

at the door for a long time. Why haven’t you come inside yet?

You’re going to be late for the meeting. Aren’t you worried that the devil is going to

chastise you?”

Glenna avoided Declan’s gaze, composed herself, and said, “I’ve almost forgotten

about the meeting. Let’s go.”

“Hmm.”

The man walked side by side with Glenna. Declan narrowed his eyes as he witnessed

the scene that he found to be an eyesore.

“Deirdre, I apologize that I have to be the bad person in this scenario. The woman in

the photo is not Mrs. McKinnon.”

Deirdre’s mind went blank for a moment. “No? Could you please look closely again?

Is it really not her? You went to study abroad in high school, so it’s possible my mother

has changed, and you can’t recognize her…”

“Deirdre.” Tobey considered and said, “Mrs. McKinnon is my godmother too. I wouldn’t

mistake her for someone else. Perhaps you can keep the photo for yourself and

attempt to search for an answer by yourself when you can see.”

Deirdre’s eyes were filled with anxiety. She shook her head and said, “It’s fine. It’s

possible that I’m overthinking the situation. How can a dead person possibly be

resurrected? If she was still alive, there’s no reason why she shouldn’t come and see

me.”

Tobey ordered a dessert from the waitress and changed the topic of conversation.

“You came in such a rush, so you haven’t managed to eat yet, right? Let’s get some

food in your belly so you won’t get sick.”

‘Thank you.”

Deirdre took a few bites, but the food was tasteless to her.

She did not show it, but she continued to chat with Tobey by asking him about work

recently.

Tobey said jokingly, “Speaking of work, I wonder if I’ve offended someone, to be

honest.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Deirdre was stunned. “Why?”

“Initially, I completed a project, so I was given half a month of break from work. I was

supposed to go home, but something happened to the project on my way home. It’s

not unusual for the project to be problematic, but the problem is the partner company

suddenly picking a fault. They named me the only person to handle the project, which

took up a lot of my time.”

Tobey smiled bitterly. “However, they were still fine before I went on a break.”
