Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200 I’ll Lead You

Where to?

Not that she would receive an answer even if she asked. She rose and got changed. Then, when they reached the front door, Brendan removed his scarf and wrapped it around her neck.

They left.

Deirdre was a little uneased by the gesture. She waited for a while before removing the scarf and holding it in her hand.

After a while, she heard him announce, “We’re here.” He removed his seatbelt, and Deirdre followed.

They were in some bustling place. She could hear traffic and crowds of people all around her, so they had to be in the middle of a busy street. He caught her hand and said, “I’ll lead you.”

Brendan displayed unprecedented patience. With her in tow, he weaved through the sea of people, her confusion growing and her mind going blank. Then, finally, she heard someone say, “Welcome!”

They had entered some kind of shop.

“Where are we?” she asked, feeling confused. He was not acting like himself today.

“You’ll know in a while.”

It did not take a while. She merely stood by the door for a few seconds before she was surrounded by a litter of puppies that started sniffing and panting around her legs. It was a dog cafe.

The shopgirl beamed at her. “This used to be a shelter before Mr. Brighthall supplied us with the money and resources to turn it into a cafe! We’re still receiving strays, but hey! We don’t need to worry about

funding anymore!

“Mr. Brighthall is a good man, isn’t he?” she finished.

Deirdre’s mind was blank. The air was chilly as it entered her lungs, but it did nothing to dispel the cloud of confusion over her head. Why would Brendan donate money to an animal shelter? He had always

hated animals!

Before she could recover from the shock, she heard Brendan’s cool voice. “Give me your hand.”
