Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Love at First Sight

As for the man’s looks….

The anxiety bubbling within her mind made Madame Russell frown. She had always believed her son to be handsome, so much so that he could sit comfortably among typical male leads in a romantic drama. But this guy?

He looked like what happened when God decided to show her just how premature her conclusion was.

Madame Russell quickly took up Deirdre’s hand. “Mr. Reed?”

The man did not answer.

Deirdre spoke on his behalf. “He can’t speak, Madame Russell. He’s mute.”

“Mute?” The older woman parroted. A new hint of pity colored her gaze. She could not help herself-she had imagined a man who looked as gorgeous as this young one would speak with a dulcet voice.

“Yea. He helped me, Madame Russell. Some of the kids in the village threw rocks into the yard while I was walking, and it was Mr. Reed who chased them away. Then he helped me plow.”

At that moment, Madame Russell turned her attention away from Kyran to the bandage on her forehead. Her heart ached. “What the… What happened? Did those brats do this to you?”

Deirdre could not bear to stress her out, so she fibbed smilingly, “Oh, no. This was an accident on my part.”

Madame Russell was not going to buy a lie as undercooked as this one. “Oh, those punks are gonna get it this time! I’m telling the village head!” she snarled, gritting her teeth. “Trouble-making imps! Someone should glue their backsides to the chairs in a school!”

Deirdre smiled.

The older woman squeezed her hand and turned back to Kyran with a decorous grin. “Thank you for sticking up for my Dee Dee, Mr. Reed!”

The emphasis on “my” was both intentional and implicative. Madame Russell found it hard to believe that a stranger would help Deirdre out of pure-hearted altruism, and since Tobey had gone away, she had to make sure her appointed future-daughter-in-law did not become someone else’s girlfriend overnight.

Kyran’s eyebrows furrowed despite himself. He thinned his lips.

Madame Russell began to tug on Deirdre’s hand. The latter sensed the change in the air as well, but she did not resist the older woman. She nodded to Kyran and bid him goodbye. “Thanks for your help, Mr. Reed! You can leave the tools on the ground. That will do. Excuse us!”

Madame Russell’s pace was unnaturally frantic.
