Chapter 840 Everyone Is Here, Even the One Who Shouldn’t Come Is Here as Well
‘You’re finally here, Miss McKinnon! It’s very windy today, so Madame Brighthall can’t come. As such, she sent us in place to welcome you.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
As soon as the servant finished the sentence, the person next to her elbowed her and said, “Miss McKinnon?” “Ah, alright.” The servant was enlightened and said smilingly,
“Welcome home, Mrs. Brighthall.”
Deirdre appeared to be caught in a daze. Her breathing quickened when she heard the term of address, and she had no idea how she felt about that. It was possible she did not expect the servants in the family mansion would still address her as they did in the past after so many years.
There was a praiseful look in Brendan’s dark eyes. He wrapped his arm around Deirdre’s shoulder and said, “It’s very windy today. We should go inside.”
Deirdre nodded and was led into the backyard. Before she reached the living room, she heard the servant in the house saying, “Don’t worry, madame. Mr. Brighthall is with Mrs. Brighthall, and they’re coming soon. Just wait at the door for a short moment. It’s very windy outside. We don’t want you to catch a cold on a joyful day like this, right?”
‘You’re right…” Madame Brighthall said in a slightly shaky voice, “I’m just overjoyed. How do I look today? Do I look like a competent mother-in-law?”
The servant chuckled and said, “Madame, don’t forget that Mrs. Brighthall is blind. However, I’m sure that Mrs. Brighthall can feel your sincerity.”
‘You’re a sweet talker.”
Deirdre stood in the same spot and felt as if she had traveled back in time.
Meanwhile, the servant leading them walked into the house and informed Madame Brighthall.
“Mrs. Brighthall is here!”
Madame Brighthall immediately stood up and made her way to the door. She looked at Deirdre, who stood a few meters away from the door, and felt a wave of emotions washing over her.
The wounds on the woman’s face had healed, and her face was restored to how she looked previously. She had actually mistaken someone else for Deirdre after spending close to two years with Deirdre and felt bad.
“Deirdre…” Madame Brighthall was feeling uneasy, so she hastily called out to Brendan. “What are you doing there? Bring Deirdre inside, quick. She’s pregnant, and it’s very windy out there. What if she catches a cold?”
Brendan took Deirdre inside while Madame Brighthall said hastily, “Where is the soup I made? Serve it to Deirdre so she can have a taste.”
She bustled around the house just like she did in the past, only that she was ridden with guilt and reservation.
Brendan leaned close to Deirdre and nibbled on her ear. “This is the first time I’m seeing my mother so nervous yet trying to please you. It seems that she has learned her lesson. Will you show your magnanimity and forgive her?”
Deirdre was amused.
She did not care about what Madame Brighthall had done to her at all and had already forgiven her. However, she could not forgive him. She did not comment much in the end but said, “Apart from this
being a trivial matter from the start, I shouldn’t make a fuss with a senior member of the family anyway.”
Brendan’s dark eyes were filled with gentleness. He lowered his head and caressed her hair.
The servants blushed upon seeing their intimate interaction and were overjoyed.
‘This is how the real Mr. and Mrs. Brighthall should act, and not…’ ‘Yikes, have I come at a bad time today?”
All of a sudden, a woman’s smiling voice was heard coming from the door.
Everyone looked over and found Charlene at the door-she was meticulously dressed.
The servants’ expressions changed drastically.
Who let Charlene in?
Brendan’s expression turned solemn as well. Deirdre was the only person who was calm as usual, as if Charlene was a stranger to her.
She knew that Charlene would not tolerate this in view of her personality.
This would happen sooner or later.
“Miss McKinney… Today-” “I know.” Charlene interrupted the servant smilingly and said, “It’s not very appropriate for me to come today. I didn’t expect the family mansion to be so crowded. Everyone is here. Even the one who shouldn’t come is here as well.”
