Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 He’s Angry

Suddenly, a lone rock coursed through an arc and slammed onto her forehead. A sharp pang jolted her.

Deirdre moved her hand and felt warm blood on her fingers. Her head swam in a dizzy sea of pain as she heard the children’s remarks.

“We know you’re in there, you freak! Don’t pretend not to hear us! It’s your eyes that are busted, not your ears! Haha, she thinks she can stay inside and say nothing, guys! Then we’ll play try to hit the freak’ with her!”

The children did exactly what they said they would Rocks began to shower at her, and the fact that every single one landed at her quickly removed the possibility of coincidences Her visage turned pale

Enough was enough. Deirdre was just about to rise when she heard the child’s unkind delight turn awry. “H -Heeeey! Who the h- What are you doing!?”

There was a crash. Something was chucked onto the ground

Deirdre opened the gate and was immediately greeted by the sound of the leader’s angry tears “How dare you lay your hands on me, you stinky outsider!? Just wait! I’m gonna tell Granny! She’ll make you regret this, j*rk!”

He scrambled away. His sycophants followed suit, casting their rocks away before bolting away in a cloud of dust.

Deirdre took a deep breath, endured the sting in her forehead, and turned toward the gate. “Who is this?”

To her confusion, there was no answer. A jolt of realization broke her stupor, and she answered herself, ” Is that you, Mr. Reed?”

Her intuition told her the man nodded. She heard him sidle up to her.

Before she could say more, she felt the strands covering her forehead parting before his fingertip grazed close to her new gash. He was careful not to directly touch her wound, but she inhaled sharply.

He stopped. Deirdre could somehow feel rage emanating from across her. “M-Mr. Reed? Are you… Are you angry?”

She stopped herself in disbelief. Why would he be angry? She could not fathom any reason to. No, she must have mistaken him.
