Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Would You Believe Me if I Told You Then

Deirdre did not notice when Bliss got out of the box and moved close to her, whining to lick her fingers.

Her throat hurt so much that she could not speak, so she could only hold Bliss in her arms and bite her lower lip tightly to stop her body from shaking.

‘This is pure agony. When will days like this one end?’

She suddenly envied Bliss. She envied the dog because someone would hold it and give it warmth when it whined, yet she had nothing.

She walked out of the bathroom after cleaning up, but the door of the bedroom was open. Before Deirdre could respond to the situation, she was pinned against the wall. The pain she felt aside, she could not help shivering from the cold radiating from the wall.

“I’ve had enough of your act!” Brendan’s face was icy, and he was extremely furious. ” What the heck is wrong with you today? Did you not take my warning seriously? Who were you trying to convince that you were disgusted by assuming that agonized expression after tasting Charlene’s cooking?”

‘Act?’

It was fortunate that Deirdre was already used to being hurt by Brendan, so his words had no effect on her anymore. She sneered and said, “I wasn’t trying to convince anyone.”

Her voice was ineffably hoarse, and her mouth was swollen. Brendan was stunned for a moment. Soon, he sniggered. “Deirdre, you seem like you were prepared for this. You mutilated yourself when you hid in the bathroom earlier, right? You turned your voice hoarse too. How are you planning to vilify Charlene this time?”

Deirdre was stunned, and she felt her heart wrench in pain. It was not intense pain, as she was used to Brendan’s treatment so much that she was numb to it.

“That is not my intention.” She made up an excuse. “I’m allergic.”

“Allergic?”

“Hmm, I’m allergic to eggplant.” Deirdre lowered her gaze. It would be fine for her to make up a lie since Brendan had never cared about her. He would not know about that anyway.

Brendan did not object. He only furrowed his eyebrows. “Why didn’t you say so

earlier?”
