Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Wish I Could Choke You to Death

It was all related to Ophelia.

Brendan had known how important Ophelia was to Deirdre for a long time.

Ophelia had been sick because of Deirdre, so she had carried the heavy burden of raising Deirdre by herself. She had refused to marry again and taken three laborious jobs to make a living.

Deirdre had once whispered to him, “Brendan, you’re the second most important person in my life.”

He had been agitated at the time and he had humored her by asking with a cold face, “Who’s the most important person then?”

“My mother!” Her tiny face had blushed scarlet because she had misunderstood his reaction for jealousy. She had explained herself in a panic, “Don’t misunderstand.”

“What’s there for me to misunderstand?”

Deirdre had chuckled before falling silent. “She has experienced way too many hardships for me, so I would die willingly for her if it meant that she’d get to live to see another day.”

Deirdre had assumed that she was the happiest girl in the world at the time. She had lived a perfectly satisfactory life after marrying him, yet she would still have died just so Ophelia could live one more day.

It was apparent that Ophelia was more important to her than her own happiness.

Hence, it would be shattering for her to find out about Ophelia’s death.

Brendan felt suffocated by the weight on his chest. One could describe him as a coward or a vile man, but he needed to keep this lie alive regardless.

However, he could not think of an excuse to keep this up for two weeks.

Brendan was exhausted from the long trip, in addition to the lingering fear of being on the brink of death. He lay down right away and cuddled Deirdre before he shut his eyes and rested.
