Chapter 64 I Want to See Her

“Don’t bother. She has always been ungrateful. She will still pull a long face no matter how well you treat her, and the sight of her sickens me,” Brendan said in a displeased tone. “You should head back first. I’ll come and see you tonight.”

Charlene nodded shyly. She was about to leave when Deirdre, who was sitting ort the bed, suddenly said, “Brendan, are you planning on going to court to go through the divorce procedure with me when I’m discharged from the hospital later today?”

Brendan turned his head to the side to look at Charlene as soon as those words were spoken, his dark eyes glistening with coldness.

Charlene’s expression was frozen. She hastily explained, “Brendan, I just gave Ms. McKinnon a gentle reminder. I wasn’t trying to do anything.”

Brendan did not respond. Instead, he looked at Deirdre once again. His flawless, gorgeous face was enshrouded in a layer of coldness, and his thin lips were pursed tightly as he said in a cold voice, “So what if that is the case? I didn’t love you right from the start. How could I still need to be legally married to you?”

‘So what if that is the case? I didn’t love you right from the start…’

If Deirdre had heard him say this two years ago, her eyes would have reddened with tears and she would have started biting her lower lip in sorrow. However, she realized that she was calm and unemotional now.

It was because she had been hurt by Brendan too deeply and was already utterly disappointed.

“That’s fine.” Deirdre raised her head and said in a righteous tone, “We can get a divorce, of course. However, I have one condition.”

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. ‘After not seeing this woman for two months, it seems that she has grown bolder.’

However, he found that he felt happy for some unknown reason. ‘So it turns out that she still cares enough to stop me from ending the marriage by proposing a condition.

“A condition? Deirdre, who do you think you are to negotiate with me? Don’t even think about asking me for a high alimony so I won’t divorce you.” Brendan sneered in contempt. “Our relationship must be ended today because I’m going to give

Charlene a proper status!”

Charlene looked up in delight with her beautiful eyes, while Deirdre’s expression Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

remained unchanged. “The fact that you want to give her a proper status is none of my business. I will divorce you immediately if you promise to let me see my mother!” “What?” Brendan was astonished.

Deirdre clenched her fists tightly, her head filled with thoughts of Charlene’s earlier remark. She said, “Ms. McKinney suddenly told me that I should be more appreciative, or I’ll end up like my mother. I don’t understand what she meant. Brendan, it has already been two years since you sent my mother abroad to receive treatment for her illness. Is she not being taken care of properly? Why haven’t you mentioned her yet? She is my only family, and I want to see her!”

‘Judging by Deirdre’s expression, her eagerness and concern to see Ophelia are not feigned. Is she really unaware of the situation?’

Brendan suppressed his shock. “Who told you that your mother is receiving treatment abroad?”

Deirdre’s expression was tainted with a tinge of confusion. “Sterling. Sterling told me that.” Soon, she pursed her lips anxiously. “Could my mother have already returned to the country? I want to see her!”

She choked from agitation, her neck flushing as she clutched the blanket tightly.” Brendan, you must let me meet my mother if you want a divorce. Otherwise, I will never agree! As long as I shall live, you will never be able to give Charlene a proper status! I swear on it!”

Charlene had been feeling slightly guilty initially, yet she was infuriated upon hearing Deirdre’s remark. “Ms. McKinnon, you should come up with a better excuse. It’s obvious that your mother is already…”

“Charlene!”

Brendan shouted at her loudly, his dark eyes filled with panic and threats. He said in a rigid tone, “You should go home. I shall see you off.”

Deirdre was not deaf. “Charlene, what were you going to say? My mother is already what?”
