Chapter 823 Because You''re the One I Love
After a long while, he admitted by saying, "Yes, I did a great disservice to you.”
Deirdre opened her eyes in surprise. She kept quiet for a while before she said, "I was thinking about
how you managed to convince the victim''s parents to lie alongside you. What did you give them that
was so good that they would go against their conscience?"
She could still remember the married couple''s hatred and grumblings when she surrendered herself to
the police. They were supposed to wish to execute the murderer badly.
Brendan looked at the woman''s distancing figure. He wanted to stretch out his hand to touch her, but
he pulled back his hand.
‘The reason is simple.” Brendan removed his jacket andy with Deirdre. It felt as if that was the only
way he could be closer to her. "I gave them enough money for them to live without any worries for the
rest of their lives.” ‘That''s all?"
Deirdre smiled, but he did not exin further.
The victim was already dead, after all. The victim’s parents would need to think for themselves, but
Deirdre still found it shocking that the parents would actually lie for the murderer of their daughter.
‘There’s more,” Brendan answered nonchntly.
Deirdre paused for a moment. "What else did you promise them?"
Brendan suddenly wrapped his arms around her and breathed evenly down the back of her neck.
"Make a guess."
Deirdre struggled for a moment and discovered that her effort was futile. "I can''t figure it out. I thought
that the daughter was their only child. Did you make arrangements for them to work or something?"
‘They are already at retirement age and have no apprehension in mary issues, so they don''t need
jobs."
Deirdre fell silent.
Brendan whispered into her ear, "I promised them I would make the real murderer of their daughter
plead guilty."

Deirdre suddenly looked up and turned her face in astonishment.
Brendan came to understand that he did not need to hide anymore after seeing the woman''s reaction.
1 ‘What do you mean?"
Deirdre was perplexed.
‘What does he mean by making the real murderer of their daughter plead guilty? Isn''t the real murderer
of their daughter
Charlene? Is Brendan going to send Charlene to prison personally? i ‘But aren''t they together already?’
"It means that I will ensure Charlene goes to prison. I promised you that, and I will clear up your name
so you won''t need to bear the charge of homicide anymore from then on.”
Deirdre was bbergasted. In fact, she had even assumed that she had misheard.
Yet, Brendan spoke in such a righteous tone as if he was telling Deirdre that he was not lying and
would not lie to her.
Her pupils were shaking. ‘Why?"
Brendan leaned closer, bit the woman''s lip, and felt the exchanging of their breaths.
Deirdre was so astounded that she failed to shove him away.
Brendan enjoyed the closeness for a while before he answered, "It is because you''re the one I love."
Deirdre was shocked, and her heart was racing.
Initially, Brendan was worried he would scare Deirdre, but he could no longer hold back. He did not
want Deirdre to misunderstand him again and to mistake that he still had any feelings for Charlene.
"Deirdre," he called her name softly. "Have you forgotten that I''m not only
Brendan but also Kyran?"
In the pitch-ck room, there was only the man’s zing hot gaze. "Do you doubt Kyran’s love?”
Deirdre pursed her lips tightly, yet she could not stop thinking about the days she had spent with Kyran.
She thought about his gentleness, meticulousness, and kindness. It was not unusual for her to fall for
Kyran. In fact, it would not be unusual for everyone to fall in love with Kyran.
That was why she had an emotional breakdown and cried for a long time when she found out the truth.
