Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 I Won’t Disappoint You Again

“No, I want something longer.” Brendan insisted with a frown, obviously not taking no for an answer. He came up with a hasty excuse too. “She might catch a cold if it’s too short.”

Deirdre almost never stepped out of the house, but still… He was far from the only man at home. What about Dr. Ginger? Sam? They were around her all the time. This dress would leave her legs exposed and he really, really hated how that imagery made him feel.

Laia let out an awkward chuckle. “Oh, my bad for… neglecting that very important fact. How about this

one?”

“The neckline is too low.”

“This one?”

“Her back would be exposed.”

In the end, Deirdre felt her way to a white fur coat. Laia’s eyes twinkled, as she had just had a good idea.” I’ve got this skin-tight black dress that is just perfect for her. She won’t feel cold, and it’s-” “Conservative. It covers every inch of her so that there is nothing left to be seen!”

Laia stopped herself before she could say those words aloud. Instead, she changed the topic. “Uh-hem, Miss McKinnon? Allow me to show you the dressing room. Give this a try, hon.”

“Thank you.”

Deirdre felt the fabric in her hand and knew it was something luxurious. Sure, she had been through this while she had been Mrs. Brighthall, but the fact that she was allowed to have something so luxurious still surprised her. She went inside the dressing room and began to put it on.

Unfortunately, the dress got stuck on her head. She could not tell if it was because she had forgotten to remove one of the buttons or if she had gotten the direction wrong. Either way, it was starting to become very embarrassing…

The tips of her ears burned. Quietly, she called out, “A-Anyone there?”

Brendan was standing right outside. “What?”

“Oh… Never mind.”

He frowned and yanked the curtain away.

He saw Deirdre’s dress stuck on her head-and the rest of her body completely naked. He could even see signs of their passionate night before. His breathing hitched and became irregular.

Was being so easily seduced by Deirdre a good thing… or a bad thing?
