Brendan slightly moved his fingertips when Deirdre took a deep breath and said, "About the abduction-"
"Mr. Brighthall, Miss McKinnon."
Sam came out of the mansion at some point, opened the car's door, and said, "I've got them all."
"Alright." Brendan threw the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go."
Sam slightly hesitated, but not for long. He restarted the car’s engine.
When they got to the courthouse, it was just noon.
Deirdre recovered her senses and got out of the car together with Sam. She felt surprised and dazed when she
stepped on the ground.
She was finally about to get a divorce.
Even though they had just been married for two years, it seemed that it had taken most of her life. Perhaps she
might need a lot of time to get through it in the future, but it ended so simply now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDeirdre closed and opened her eyes while Brendan got out of the car behind her. Following that, the two entered
the courthouse together.
"Are you two here to register? Please go to the counter in front," said the staff.
"No." Brendan's eyes looked empty when he said, "We're here for a divorce."
"Divorce?" The staff was surprised and explained, "Seeing how well- matched you two are, I thought- The counter
for divorce is there."
'Thank you."
Brendan went first, and Deirdre followed after him.
Just like registering for a marriage, it wasn't difficult to get a divorce. Deirdre was only aware that the bumpy road
of marriage had ended when she got the divorce certificate.
Her heart sank the moment she got in the car.
"Miss McKinnon, where would you like to go? The return flight is not available today. The earliest would be
tomorrow. What about I send you to the mansion first?"
Deirdre nodded, and the car started.
At that moment, she recovered her senses and asked, "Which mansion are you referring to?"
"Of course, it's Mr. Brighthall's mansion," replied Sam.
Deirdre frowned because there were many incidents that had happened there.
Before she could speak, Brendan said, "Take her to a hotel."
"No." Deirdre rejected it quickly. She thought she needed a chance to clarify things with Brendan after some
consideration. She had to sort things out since they weren't owing each other anymore now that they were
divorced.
'To the mansion then."
Brendan's black eyes were full of emotions. But he fell silent without saying anything.
As they got to the mansion's living room, Brendan immediately went upstairs to rest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam said, "Miss McKinnon, I don't think I should introduce you to things here again, right? All these things here
remain the same since you left.
There is food in the fridge as well. Just call me whenever you need anything."
He told Deirdre his phone number, and she memorized it while nodding. Then, she said, 'Thank you."
"Miss McKinnon, you are welcome." Sam only wished Deirdre would get better, and it was kind of like a wish came
true. "I'm already very grateful that I can still see you coming back safely."
Deirdre smiled in response. She then recalled something. "Sam, I'll need your help. Can you help me?"
When the car arrived at the graveyard, Deirdre went to the tomb under Sam's guidance and put the bouquet of
lilies on it.
The lilies were lovely with dew on them. Deirdre smiled but sadly. "Mom, I'm sorry I came here to see you only after
so many years. How are you doing? Is it cold there?"
Deirdre caressed the picture on the tomb even though she couldn’t clearly see the woman's smile.
It was only in the evening that Sam sent Deirdre back.
The moment she entered the living room, she heard Brendan's intense coughing fit from upstairs.
