Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 I Want Your Love

Deirdre’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy and reddened from holding back her tears. She inhaled a deep breath and said, “Thank you, Brendan.”

She spoke in all apparent seriousness, and there was gratitude in her eyes. However, Brendan was not pleased by her gaze. On the contrary, he felt a knot in the pit of his stomach and felt suffocated.

Deirdre was the only person who was unaware that Ophelia was already dead. He was making up a fake world just to delude her.

He could not afford to accept her gratitude.

“I told you that I don’t like the words ‘thank you”.” Brendan’s dark eyes turned dim, and he abruptly got up from his seat. “I’m sure that both of you have a lot to talk about because you’ve just been reunited after so long. I’m going to do some work in the study room. You can come to me if you have anything important.”

He walked upstairs and took a seat in the study room. The desk was stacked with documents, yet he could not bear to read even one word.

He felt an intense conflicting feeling in his heart and didn’t know what to do when he thought about Deirdre’s smile and Ophelia’s tragic death.

Meanwhile, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the study room.

Brendan looked up to find Deirdre twisting the door knob to enter the study room with a hesitant expression.

“What’s going on?” Brendan leaned against his seat and propped up his head with a hand on his temple, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. “Why are you here in my room instead of chatting with your mother downstairs?”

Deirdre bit her lower lip and shut the door after her. She hesitated for some time before mustering the courage to say, “Brendan, I have a presumptuous request to ask of you, and I hope that you can grant my request.”

It was apparent that Deirdre had only come after mentally preparing herself. Brendan’s gaze locked on her face as he asked, “What is it?”
