Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 229 Tell Madame Brighthall The Truth?
‘Do you think she is presentable?’Just like a sharp knife, every word pierced Deirdre’s heart and twisted.Deirdre was trembling faintly while Brendan stood before her and said with a frigid face, “Mother, your words are too harsh!”“Harsh?” While looking at his furious face, for the first time, Madame Brighthall sensed the estrangement between her and her son and felt disappointed. “Do you expect me to greet the third party in your relationship with a smile and treat her like my daughter?!”“Deirdre is not the third party!” Brendan gritted his teeth. “We’ve registered–”“Bren!” Charlene, who had intended to be a bystander, suddenly chimed in. Her eyes revealed how panicked and incredulous she was.Did Brendan want to tell Madame Brighthall the truth? Did he want to tell Madame Brighthall that the woman who had been spending time with her in the past few years was actually the third party?That Deirdre and Brendan were true husband and wife?If Brendan did it, what would her s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 230 You Are Angry
Madame Brighthall shot Deirdre a frigid glare. “A woman like her must be kept at home. Don’t even think about taking her out again.”Following that, Madame Brighthall no longer felt like shopping and left with Charlene.Deirdre’s gaze remained blank. She thought she was shameless herself, but Madame Brighthall accusing her of being the ‘third party’ and ‘that kind of woman’ had destroyed her accumulated willpower.“Deirdre, are you alright?” Brendan caressed her face. Deirdre furrowed her brows tightly while her forehead was sweating. She was in a daze, and Brendan didn’t know what she was thinking.“I’m fine.” Deirdre recovered from her daze and avoided Brendan’s hand.Brendan missed his target and felt that something was missing. When he realized what it was, he clasped Deirdre’s wrist. “Are you angry? You should be aware of the matter between Charlene and my mother. My mother misunderstood that you’re the third party, so it’s normal that her harsh words made you feel bad. Don’t
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 231 Meeting Ophelia Again
Just like Madame Brighthall’s remark, Deirdre had been staying at home because she was not presentable.Brendan wanted to add on, but his phone rang. Sawyer’s voice came from the other end when he accepted the phone call. “Mr. Brighthall, Madame McKinnon has arrived. Shall I let her enter the mansion now? Or…”Brendan was about to command Sawyer to let her in when he saw Deirdre abruptly lift her head, and her eyes lit up. Hence, he changed his command to “Just let her wait outside.”He put down the phone and asked, “Would you like to welcome her on your own? Let me take you there.”Deirdre couldn’t restrain her excitement. While nodding her head, she tidied up her messy hair nervously. Even though she had an ugly face, she still hoped that her appearance wouldn’t scare Ophelia.With Brendan’s support, Deirdre went down the stairs and went straight to the door.From afar, Brendan had seen the woman at the door.Even though he clearly understood that the woman was a stranger whos
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 232 Are You Not Allergic?
Deirdre smelled a faint sweet osmanthus fragrance from Ophelia. Although it wasn’t strong, it didn’t escape Deirdre’s nose.It was because she clearly recalled that Ophelia would cover her nose and cough each time they passed by the sweet osmanthus tree at the entrance to the slum. Ophelia was allergic to the sweet osmanthus, so much so that she would feel itchy and cough non-stop with just the smell of it.“What is it?” When Maeve became aware of Deirdre’s stiff reaction, she caressed Deirdre’s face as she asked, “Why did you suddenly get into a daze?”“Nothing…” Deirdre forced a smile. She lowered her head and said, “It’s just that I smell the fragrance on you. It smells very good. What kind of perfume is it?”“Oh.” Maeve was relieved and smiled. “I don’t wear any perfume. I think it’s probably the fragrance in the hotel. After staying there for a day, my clothes are stained.”“Is it sweet osmanthus?”“Yes.” Maeve nodded. “I think it’s this smell.”Deirdre suddenly pressed her
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 233 I Want Your Love
Deirdre’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy and reddened from holding back her tears. She inhaled a deep breath and said, “Thank you, Brendan.”She spoke in all apparent seriousness, and there was gratitude in her eyes. However, Brendan was not pleased by her gaze. On the contrary, he felt a knot in the pit of his stomach and felt suffocated. Deirdre was the only person who was unaware that Ophelia was already dead. He was making up a fake world just to delude her.He could not afford to accept her gratitude. “I told you that I don’t like the words ‘thank you’.” Brendan’s dark eyes turned dim, and he abruptly got up from his seat. “I’m sure that both of you have a lot to talk about because you’ve just been reunited after so long. I’m going to do some work in the study room. You can come to me if you have anything important.”He walked upstairs and took a seat in the study room. The desk was stacked with documents, yet he could not bear to read even one word. He felt an
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 234 Unrelated to Him
Deirdre knew that Brendan was looking at her from the moment he raised his head.It was because she could feel his intense gaze. She could still feel his gaze stopping on her face even when all she could see was darkness. Deirdre lowered her gaze and felt so overwhelmed with emotions in her heart that she could not even hear her own breathing.Brendan leaned over to kiss Deirdre’s lips. He took his sweet time and kissed her gently but affectionately as if he was conquering her with all his life’s patience.“Brendan…” Deirdre pushed him because she was having trouble getting accustomed to this. “Don’t do this…”“Don’t do what?” Brendan asked her with his deep, dark eyes staring at her, “Don’t stand so close to you, don’t kiss you like this, or don't say what I said to you earlier?”Deirdre clutched Brendan’s arms tightly and felt his warm breath blowing on the side of her face. “Tell me, Deirdre. You can tell me anything. I’ll satisfy you and meet your needs.”At last, Deirdre
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 235 Still Alive and Doing Great
Before Deirdre shut her eyes, she wrapped her arms around Maeve’s arm and said, “I feel lucky that you’re still alive, mother. Don’t be saddened by dad's death. I’ll protect you from now on, and I will live well for you.”She fell asleep drowsily while Maeve’s eyes widened. She was so deeply moved by Deirdre’s remark that she didn’t know what to say. What would the real Ophelia say at this very moment? She could not figure out an answer. The phone in her pocket vibrated. She waited until Deirdre was in a deep sleep before she moved away Deirdre’s arms cautiously and got out of bed. She walked out of the room to find Brendan smoking at the door. There were already a few cigarette butts scattered on the ground. His dark eyes were narrowed as he looked up to the first floor and said without even turning to Maeve, “Is Deirdre suspicious?”Maeve shook her head. “It is apparent that she isn’t. Ms. McKinnon is very pure and will go straight to the point and express something that is bot
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 236 Thought She Left
Sam stood in the same spot while Deirdre walked ahead for two steps before she noticed that Sam was not by her side. “Sam?”“I’m here.” Sam caught up to her in a few steps, and they walked together on the flat ground. Deirdre said, “What happened? Why are you suddenly so quiet? I thought something bad had happened.”Sam felt a tight knot in the pit of his stomach as he looked at Deirdre’s lively mannerisms, her smile, and her gentleness. He suddenly empathized with Brendan’s feelings. ‘If this lie can be sustained forever, will that be a good thing for Deirdre?’“Nothing much. I saw a child running about on the road earlier, so I stopped to check the traffic.”“Children are always mischievous.” Deirdre’s smile became frozen for a moment, but she quickly changed the conversation topic. They were not far from the villa, so they chatted harmoniously while they walked and arrived at the courtyard soon.However, Sam saw a tall and huge figure from afar, even before they reached
