Resent, Reject, Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1231 - チャプター 1240

Sam arrived at the door but couldn't knock on it. Thus, he could only squat outside the door. The room was so soundproof that he couldn't eavesdrop on the sound inside.Time passed by little, and Sam fought his sleepiness to stay awake, and finally, at 2:00 a.m., the door was opened with a click. When Brendan came out of the room, Sam stood up instantly."Sam?" Brendan's handsome face had a look of surprise, and then his brows frowned, and his eyes looked tense. He had a puzzled look as he asked, "Why are you here?"Sam couldn't stop looking at the room. Brendan closed the door abruptly. He then realized something and became furious. "Are you following me?"His subordinate actually followed him here. What a 'great' subordinate!Sam knew Brendan was angry, but he cared more about what had happened in the room. He thought repeatedly before he asked bravely, "Sir, is there anyone else in the room?""What are you saying!?"Sam gulped but had a complicated expression on his face. "Si

Brendan's breath got closer and closer, and just when Deirdre thought he would kiss her, he withdrew his hand. "It's getting late, and I'm a little sleepy. Let's rest.""Okay." Deirdre drooped her eyes and gradually closed them. When she woke up the next morning, she could no longer feel Brendan's body temperature around her. However, Sam said that Brendan hadn't gone out last night.Deirdre yawned, and when she went to the balcony, she seemed to have stepped on something. She lowered her head, and Sam looked over. He unconsciously gasped and asked, "Why are there so many cigarette butts on the balcony?"'Cigarette butts?'Deirdre fell into a daze. When she came to this room, she had gone to the balcony to close the window. She didn't remember these cigarette butts there.Could it be that Brendan had gone to the balcony to smoke after she fell asleep? Deirdre suddenly felt confused. She had been under the impression that Brendan had fallen asleep with her yesterday."Cigarette bu

Deirdre's eyes reddened, and Brendan squatted down and kissed her. He then hooked her mouth with his fingertips. "Deirdre, smile. It is not good for the baby or you to be so upset."Deirdre felt her chest tighten. "How can I smile? You can only fall asleep in Emily's presence. Doesn't that mean that..."She had no choice but to beg Emily to come back?Deirdre fell into a daze. This was exactly what Emily wanted—that was why she was so confident. After all, if Brendan continued to suffer from insomnia, even if his mental state improved, he would be driven crazy."I don't need Emily."When Deirdre heard what Brendan said, she raised her head unconsciously.Brendan was calm and composed as he said, "I'll just adjust slowly. Plus, I've made up my mind. I can't really rely on Emily. Then it'll be easy for her to control what I do."Deirdre's face was serious and dark. "But you...""I'll try again."Deirdre nodded. She knew that Brendan had to bear it a while longer. She whispered t

A smile played upon her lips, and her face radiated an unmistakable grace. She appeared to be a refined young woman hailing from a privileged background.However, if Sterling's suspicions proved true and Emily was indeed capable of such actions, then what a repugnant soul lurked behind that enchanting facade. The thought sent a shiver down Sterling's spine."No, I'm not here for tea.""You didn't come here to drink tea?" Emily was not surprised. "Then you came to question me? I didn't expect Ms. McKinnon to have such great charm to be able to make you come to dissuade me."Sterling didn't even blink or respond to Emily's words, but asked in a cold tone, "What did you do to Brendan?"Emily raised her eyebrows. "Me? Sterling, what can I do to Mr. Brighthall? I'm quite well-skilled in treating insomnia, and I made Mr. Brighthall sleep better. That's all.""Really?" Sterling was so angry that he took the packed incense ash out of his pocket and threw it on the table. "Then how do you

Deirdre couldn't hide her astonishment—Emily really had done something to Brendan! At the same time, she was pleasantly surprised. As long as Brendan had no physical problems, he could still be saved, right?But soon, her little joy disappeared because she clearly felt Sterling's discomfort. His tense body was not relaxed at all, and he had a struggling and hesitant expression on his face.Deirdre pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Sterry, what's the situation now? What did Emily do to keep Brendan awake all night?"Sterling raised his head, unable to hide the regret on his face. "This is my fault."Deirdre was taken aback, and Sterling continued. "I'm a member of the research institute. For some time, I've been working on a drug that helps insomniacs improve their sleep. The project is named i240. This medicine can be like incense. Ignite it and let the smell volatilize in the air. If you inhale it, you can't help but want to sleep. It stands to reason that this result should h
