Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Scared to Wake Up From the Dream

It felt as if he was using this frantic action that came from the bottom of his heart to tell her something.

Deirdre’s knees buckled, and she leaned her head on the man’s chest. She could not see him but she could feel his heartbeat racing.

“Deirdre.” Before she could say anything, the man’s voice turned hoarse and his thin lips were already moving closer to her ear bit by bit. He asked imploringly, “Can I?”

The answer to what Brendan was asking was obvious. Deirdre had not expected that Brendan would actually take it upon himself to seek her consent. It was as if he would loosen his grip without the slightest hesitation no matter how aroused he was as soon as she shook her head.

Deirdre shut her eyes tightly and did not speak. Brendan’s thin lips curled into a smirk. “I’ll consider it consent if you don’t speak.”

Deirdre’s head was dizzy when it ended. She was carried to the bathroom to take a shower by Brendan. Then, he cuddled her in his arms as though he was protecting precious treasure.

Brendan fell asleep, yet Deirdre could not sleep. Her eyes were wide even though she could see nothing but darkness. She spared no effort opening her eyes because she wished that she could see a wisp of light one day so she could see who the man lying next to her was.

‘Is he still the overbearing, cold, arrogant, cold-blooded, merciless Brendan he used to be?

‘Why does it feel like he has changed?

‘Not only does he want me to live, but he risked his life to run into the cold rain with me in his arms just to protect me.’

She no longer needed to worry about getting pregnant due to her condition yet she still had trouble falling asleep.

She was scared that everything happening now was just a dream and she would wake up from the dream if she fell asleep.

She was worried that she would return to the cruel reality once again.
