Resent, Reject, Regret의 모든 챕터: 챕터 551 - 챕터 560

“That is none of your business!”“How is that none of my business when I’m your husband?” Brendan said in a bitter tone, “I think he’s just a coward who ran away in fear of trouble!”“You have no right to criticize him, Brendan!” It was Deirdre’s first time losing her temper. She exhausted every means to defend her lover. “He is a thousand times better than you! Forget it.”Deirdre suppressed her shakiness and found the situation amusing for no apparent reason. “What’s the point of me taking what someone like you said so seriously? You’ve always lived in your own world! When have you ever cared about others’ feelings? You will never feel that you are at fault!”Brendan stared straight at the woman’s face and felt a wave of pain wash over his chest. The pain was so overwhelming that he bent over and buried his head in the nook of her neck. He said in a hoarse voice, “What if I… know that I’m at fault?”Brendan spoke in a soft voice as if he was consumed by his ego or was not planni

After Declan left, Deirdre stretched out her hand and felt for the business card placed on the bedside table. The business card was made of sturdy materials, just like the man’s mannerisms. The corners of the business card felt so sharp it could cut through skin, and the writing etched onto the card's surface could be felt just by touching it with one's fingers. Brendan had come prepared. He knew she was blind, so he left a business card she could read with her touch.‘Does he think I will agree to his condition?’Filled with boundless rage, Deirdre wished she could throw away the business card. Yet, in the next moment, she was reminded by a voice in her head, “Are you really going to give up on the chance to get a divorce?”If she agreed to his condition, she could be rid of interacting with this man for eternity in exchange.She could travel to Germia with Kyran to have their wedding with peace of mind. She would not be bothered by her past marriage. She knew this was a rare

“What?”“I’m asking you if your condition involves only a date, right?”Brendan could not refrain from chuckling as if he was making fun of her sensitive emotion. “Or else?”“At night… I’m not going to sleep with you.”The other end of the call was quiet momentarily as soon as she made the remark. Soon afterward, he laughed sarcastically and said, “Are you doing this so you can keep your chastity for the man?”Deirdre shut her eyes tightly. She did not want to quarrel with Brendan on this issue. “I just don’t want to be touched by someone like you.”Brendan was stunned for a moment before he sneered and said, “Someone like me? What kind of person am I?”Deirdre did not answer, and he did not inquire further. He said, “Don’t worry about this, Miss McKinnon. I’ve encountered way too many women who are prettier than you with better bodies. I’m not interested when they push themselves against me, let alone you. We’re just going on a date, and that is all.”He said it in contempt,

Brendan found it ridiculous as well. “This is the result of setting up two people by force.”Even if they were holding hands, the outsiders would never feel their love for each other. Brendan kept quiet for a moment and could not refrain from asking, “How about you and that person? Will both of you be regarded as a couple as you ought to be?”Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows. “Don’t bring him up constantly.”Brendan appeared powerless and said sarcastically, “It’s because you’ve never smiled when you’re with me.”Deirdre was stunned. She took a deep breath and said, “Is it caused by my reluctance to smile?”She had been all loving and affectionate in the past. She would not be able to hold back her smile every time she saw him in the past, which was not that different from her current situation.All in all, they were just not suited for each other.Their marriage was a product of reluctance, and it could not be faked nor forced. The atmosphere turned solemn. The waitress could

Deirdre was stunned while Brendan came to react to the situation by assuming a cold, sharp expression on his face. “However, since we’re already here, don’t try to pick faults anymore. It’s already rare that I remembered your wish in the past. Do you think I would come here to endure the cold willingly if not as your compensation?”“Compensation?”“Hmm, compensation.” Brendan’s eyes were dark as ink. “You can put an end to your mother’s case from now on.”Deirdre’s pupils shook violently. She was so furious that her entire body was shaking beyond her control.‘So, I should bring everything to an end just with his carefree compensation after those acts of his, pushing things too far, and the human life that was lost!?’Deirdre could not hold back her anger and stood up. She was afraid that she would give Brendan a slap if she were to stay any longer.She ran to the door, and before she could walk away, Brendan caught up to her and grabbed her wrist. He furrowed his eyebrows and su
