Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Don’t Want to Confront Her

“Brendan? Why aren’t you speaking?” Charlene felt rather surprised when she did not receive a response. She bit her lower lip and said, “Are you still angry at me?”

Deirdre could only say, “Brendan is not in the office.”

As soon as those words were spoken, Charlene’s expression changed drastically and her voice turned into a high-pitch screech. “Deirdre! Why are you picking up Brendan’s phone?! Who gave you permission to do so? Pass the phone to Brendan immediately.”

Her voice was so piercing that Deirdre had no choice but to hold the phone further away from her. She could not help mocking her. “Ms. McKinney, it would be best for you to be gentle. If Brendan is next to me, he’s probably going to be very disappointed to hear your hostile tone.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Deirdre, you b*tch. Did you figure out a way to get Brendan to come to you? Are you going to take Brendan away from me?”

Charlene had lost her senses from anger. It was most likely because none of her calls had been picked up by Brendan after her departure yesterday.

She had comforted herself by telling herself that Brendan was probably asleep. However, she had felt lingering fear when Brendan had yet to respond the next day. She had thus prepared the porridge and taken it to Brendan’s office to make it up to him.

She had not expected that she would miss Brendan and Brendan would actually be at Deirdre’s place!

“Take Brendan away from you? Do you think it’s necessary for me to do so?” Deirdre listened to the sounds in the kitchen and increased the intensity of her mockery as she spoke to Charlene. “You should

understand Brendan’s character much better than I do. If he wasn’t here of his own volition, no one could

have made him do it. Hence, he’s only here because he wants to.”

‘He willingly headed to Deirdre’s place and ignored my text messages and calls?’
