Chapter 646
Chapter 646 Pay Him a Visit, Won''t You?
The three of them started eating. Den was ever the conversation starter while Deirdre gave her
inputs, but Glenna was silent throughout. She was suspiciously focused on her fish and chips, except
for the odd moments of her scanning Den through the corner of her eyes.
Then, before the man himself noticed, she would lower her head instantly. It happened enough times
that the man finally found out. Setting his knife down, Den asked, "What’s wrong, Glenna? You kept
ncing at me.
Something on my face?”
Glenna sputtered. Strapped with any excuse, she replied, "It''s not your face! It''s, uh, your... hair? It''s,
uh, interesting...”
"Interesting?" Den thought for a moment. This was the first time anyone had evermented
something like that about him.
"How?"
Glenna gripped the edge of her shirt tightly before finallying up with an answer. "It makes you look,
uh, retro.”
Den’s smile froze.
Deirdre almost spat out her food.
Glenna tried to salvage her answer. "No, I don''t mean you look old or anything! I was saying... It, uh, it''s
not that good on you... It makes you look off...”
Den shed her his teeth. "Okay. This is unexpected,” he said. "But maybe you''re right. I''ll put that
into consideration on my next trip to the barbershop."
Glenna was so flustered that her hands turned red. What she really wanted to say was that she liked
his hair and thought it made him look manly and gentlemanly. But somehow, the words just changed
into something else moments before they left her lips.
Glenna was the first to break the silence when they were finished. "Um, Mr. King? Do you want to bring
some food over to
Brendan''s?”
"No." Den was silent for a bit. "He''s not conscious yet. If he were, Fionn would have told me. Let''s
see how it goes after he''s up.”
Glenna was aghast. "He’s still sleeping after two days?”
"Mm-hmm." An unfathomable expression shadowed Den’s face. "He hadn’t been resting easy for
two weeks before he got beaten up. After all that, he should be getting some rest in the hospital, but he
refused to stay in Eastgene and insisted oning here, which severely stained his body. He got a
fever, cked out, and was sent to the hospital. Honestly, who''s surprised he hasn’t woken up yet?"
Glenna felt like her heart was suspended in midair. "What the h*Il was he up to for those two weeks?"
"He was-"
"I’m exhausted," Deirdre suddenly dered loudly and rose from her seat.” You guys go ahead. I''m
going to my room."
Sure. He was busy-busy protecting himself! Busy scheming after Cillian!
Deirdre was not going to stay there and listen to more of that nonsense. It was only going to ruin her
mood. She had to go.
"Dee?" Glenna was stunned. Her reaction threw her off a little, but she followed her. "Let me help you."
"No need. I''ming down with a slight headache. I will be better after some sleep, I think.” She
turned toward the stairs.
"Miss McKinnon?” Den suddenly spoke up. "How about... paying Brendan a visit?"
Deirdre whipped her face in his direction, her features twisting in a mix of shock and ire. She even
wondered whether she had misheard, and her lips were trembling.

It took her several deep breaths to finally calm down enough. "What are you trying to do, Mr. King!?"
Den looked conflicted. "I know it sounds absurd because I shouldn’t be helping Brendan to fulfill his
whim to see you, but... he really isn''t in the best state right now. It''s reasonable to have someone give
him some kind of moral support-”
"Reasonable my *ss!" Deirdre retorted sharply.
"I wasn''t the one who got him into the hospital! I wasn’t the one who got him sick! He was so hellbent
saving his precious life that he abandoned me to that demon, Cillian! Why would I want to visit him!?"
