Chapter 345 It’s My Fault for Putting You in Harm’s Way

“I see…” Deirdre said softly, “It must be very tiring for you to travel such a difficult path to get to me in a rush, right? I’m sorry.”

Declan was stunned upon hearing Deirdre’s remark and came to understand the situation. He smiled subconsciously and said, “I’ve never seen Kyran being close to a woman from the start, but you’re the only exception, Ms. McKinnon. You’re so kind, Ms. McKinnon. Perhaps I might have fallen for you too if I didn’t already have someone else that I love.”

Deirdre had a hard time explaining her relationship with Kyran within a short period, so she immediately changed the conversation topic. “Do you have a lover, Mr. King?” “Hardly a lover… She’s not planning on being with me.”

“Is that so?” Deirdre expressed her astonishment.

Declan could not help chuckling. “Why? Why are you feeling incredulous to know that I’m still single?”

Deirdre said truthfully, “It’s because you seem like a very outstanding man, Mr. King. You hold a respectable status, and you’re good with words. If you have someone you love, it should be normal for you to end up being with her.”

Declan looked ahead and said, “Is that the way you look at it?”

His eyes were unfocused, and there was no telling who he was thinking about. Then, he smiled and said in a teasing voice, “I suppose the great have great hardship to contend with, right? It’s precisely because I’m so outstanding that I’m destined to have troubles in love because my career is smooth sailing.”

Deirdre forced a smile while Declan said, “Get some rest. We’ll be there by daybreak.”
