Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Are You Not Allergic?

Deirdre smelled a faint sweet osmanthus fragrance from Ophelia. Although it wasn’t strong, it didn’t escape Deirdre’s nose.

It was because she clearly recalled that Ophelia would cover her nose and cough each time they passed by the sweet osmanthus tree at the entrance to the slum. Ophelia was allergic to the sweet osmanthus, so much so that she would feel itchy and cough non-stop with just the smell of it.

“What is it?” When Maeve became aware of Deirdre’s stiff reaction, she caressed Deirdre’s face as she asked, “Why did you suddenly get into a daze?”

“Nothing…” Deirdre forced a smile. She lowered her head and said, “It’s just that I smell the fragrance on you. It smells very good. What kind of perfume is it?”

“Oh.” Maeve was relieved and smiled. “I don’t wear any perfume. I think it’s probably the fragrance in the hotel. After staying there for a day, my clothes are stained.”

“Is it sweet osmanthus?”

“Yes.” Maeve nodded. “I think it’s this smell.”

Deirdre suddenly pressed her fingertips into her palm.

Meanwhile, Brendan also noticed her change and frowned “What’s the matter?”

“…” Deirdre’s mind went blank. When she raised her head again, her eyes were empty “Mom, aren’t you allergic to sweet osmanthus? How could you stay in a room for a day filled with the smell of sweet osmanthus?”

Her questioning shocked Maeve, who turned to Brendan.

Brendan’s heart skipped a beat. He definitely didn’t know that Ophelia was allergic to sweet osmanthus because he wasn’t Deirdre himself. But he managed to calm himself quickly and asked, “Are you allergic to the fragrance of sweet osmanthus or to its pollen?”
