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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 237 Unprepared to Tolerate Sam
It would be impossible that he did not feel angry because of his icy cold answer. Deirdre sat on the sofa in a daze and attempted to test his mood by pouring him warm water. “Warm your hands first. It must be cold outside.”Brendan stared at Deirdre and felt his anger diminish substantially after seeing her nose and hands reddened by the cold. He received the mug and said, “Do you know why I’m angry?”Deirdre shook her head. “You could have informed me before you left the house, and I could have kept you company. You left without saying anything, so how am I supposed to explain to Ophelia if she’s worried?”Deirdre lowered her head. “I didn’t know that you’d be up so early.”“Remember to come and knock on my door right away if there’s anything next time.”He did not wish to see Sam and Deirdre walking together anymore. Even though Sam was obedient, it did not signify that he was prepared to tolerate Sam spending time with Deirdre. “Alright.”Deirdre nodded without the s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 238 He Didn’t Mind
“Don’t move!”He suppressed his anger and waited until Deirdre’s finger stopped bleeding at last before he went looking for the first aid kit left by Dr. Ginger in haste. The temperature of the man’s lips was still lingering on Deirdre’s finger. She was supposed to feel the stinging pain of the cut, yet the finger felt burning hot for no apparent reason. She could clearly remember that Brendan was a neat freak, yet he did not mind doing that for her.‘Has he lost his mind…’“Give me your hand.”Brendan’s tone was filled with intense anger, but he had not lost his temper. Instead, he dressed Deirdre’s wound with a bandaid meticulously. He did not speak even after he was done. Deirdre was rather anxious. “Are you angry, Brendan?”“Is there nothing else that you can say other than this?”Brendan answered in a hostile manner. He was so fueled by anger that he could lose his temper at any moment.Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly. “It’s because you are angry… but you’re not v
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 239 Familiar-Looking Woman
It was Brendan’s first time relenting and giving her permission to go out. Deirdre’s empty eyes were glistening with a glint. Brendan said, “Sam won’t be coming, so only both of you are going. Remember to be back before six and don’t catch a cold.”“Alright.” Deirdre was delighted. “We will be back soon.”“Hmm.” Brendan was done with his breakfast, so he was preparing to leave. He tossed an ATM card to Deirdre before he left. “There are four million dollars in the card, so there should be more than enough to cover the expenditure for both of you today. Call me if it’s not enough. You know my number.”“It’s fine…” Deirdre swallowed her words after blurting out her rejection. They were a married couple now, so it was very normal for Brendan to give money to his wife for shopping. If she were to reject him, it would make them appear estranged and stir up Ophelia’s suspicion easily. “Alright.”Brendan did not speak more but left with Sam.Deirdre and Maeve waited until the weath
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 240 Stop Deceiving Yourself
“Is there anybody else with them?”The sales associate shook her head. “Just the mother and daughter. I have yet to see anybody else with them.”Charlene’s pupils constricted abruptly, and she clutched the sales associate’s arm. “Mother and daughter? What do you mean by mother and daughter?”She was really agitated. The sales associate looked anxious because she had no idea what she had done to trigger Charlene’s anger. She answered cautiously, “You asked about those two. They are mother and daughter… The first thing the young woman with the disfigured face said when she entered the shop was that she’s shopping for clothes for her mother. What else can they be if not mother and daughter…”Charlene was extremely shocked. No one knew better than her that Ophelia was already dead. She had died a year ago. Hence, Deirdre could not have a mother. She pressed the sales associate with a gloomy expression by saying, “Are you sure? Are you sure that the young woman acknowledged the othe
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 241 That Woman Is Not Ophelia
Charlene tutted repeatedly. “Deirdre, do you think that the woman who talked and laughed with you was really Ophelia? Why are you so naive that you would believe it’s true when Brendan just hired someone casually to portray her?“Would the real Ophelia be so much taller than you, so young, and shop for clothing with you like an ordinary person? Besides, you couldn’t see her face because you’re blind. Don’t be a fool. The woman takes care of her complexion very well, and not even a trace of wrinkles can be found on her face. Could you not have noticed it when you touched her with your hands? It would be utterly impossible for a woman like her to be the mother who lived in the slums and endured hardships with you!”“Shut up!” Deirdre widened her eyes in shock and felt a heavy weight bearing down on her chest. It felt suffocating. ‘What?‘What is Charlene talking about?‘Is the woman who was talking and laughing with me earlier not… Ophelia? Is she not the mother who raised me?‘Ho
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 242 Misgiving Dispelled
Deirdre’s lips were trembling, and she stretched out her hand with great effort. “Mother, can I… touch your hands?”She knew Ophelia’s hands. They were a pair of old hands covered in calluses that felt very different even at a very young age, especially in some spots. She had not felt out Ophelia’s hands seriously before this but she had grown suspicious after Charlene’s remarks. Maeve’s heart was racing. “What’s going on? What’s going on with you… Deirdre?”“I’m fine…” Deirdre took a deep breath and cracked a fake smile with great difficulty. “I used to hold your hand frequently in the past and I missed doing that all of a sudden. I yearned for the feeling of you holding my hand when you walked me home after school…”“I see.” Maeve smiled, but her heart was still on guard. She had figured out that Deirdre must have noticed something. At the same time that a feeling of uneasiness grew in her, she had no choice but to stretch out her hand. “Alright, I shall hold my little Deird
