Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Don’t Hate Me

‘You still have me.’

In the past, Deirdre would not have been relieved. Instead, she would have been haunted by Brendan’s remark. However, Deirdre lowered her gaze now and felt her heart, which was sealed in ice, begin to crack slowly.

She actually found Brendan’s remark convincing; perhaps it was due to Ophelia’s presence that her withered heart had been restored. She had found a way to pursue her dream and she was no longer living like a zombie.

Similarly, she would not attach any hope to Brendan, like she had in the past.

She felt that her current life was pretty great. Her mother would return to her when her illness was cured, and she would be working in the meantime. That was already enough for her, and she would be able to leave without feeling any disappointment. and live a life that belonged to her when Brendan was bored of her.

“Hmm.”

She answered nonchalantly in a very soft tone, as if the voice came from her throat. However, Brendan managed to hear her reply, which lasted a brief moment, and his dark eyes were tainted with joy.

‘Did she answer me? Has she responded to my remark?

‘She did not chuckle in a self-mocking manner, like she did in the past, and she did not turn a deaf ear to me either. She answered my remark. Does this signify that her heart is already showing a sign of change?”

At the thought, Brendan suddenly felt as if his chest was burning hot, as if something was boiling inside him.

“Brendan …” Deirdre raised her head and asked in confusion, “Why are you hands… shaking?”

‘Am I shaking? Am I actually shaking?’

Brendan suppressed the tremor and hugged Deirdre tightly without answering her question. He exhaled and caressed her hair as he said, “Out of happiness.

“Deirdre, I’m very happy that you replied to me. I promise you that I will take care of you and I will never…”

‘Do anything that will hurt you again to make up for the pain resulting from Ophelia’s death.”

Sensing Brendan’s strength, Deirdre felt her chest tighten for a moment for no apparent reason. She felt suffocated.
