Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321 The Damsel in Distress

A villager thought he was familiar with Deirdre and impolitely stuffed a glass of beer into her hand. “Come on! Let’s make a toast. If mountain tourism booms, and we build some kind of resort, our Village Alnwick will become famous! With this, we shall celebrate!”

Deirdre was put in an awkward situation because she couldn’t drink.

Because Eilis wasn’t around, Deirdre hesitated. It took her a while before she finally decided to ask, “I’m sorry. I can’t drink. Can I replace the beer with tea instead?”

“Replace the beer with tea?” The man grimaced as he insisted, “How can you not know how to drink when you’ve been out of the village for so long? Are you trying to despise me for refusing the drink I offer?”

“No, I don’t mean it!”

“Drink if you don’t mean it!” demanded Archie. “What are you afraid of? It’s just half a glass of beer. Moreover, no one would molest you if you were drunk.” Archie scoffed.

Archie ended up bursting out into such boisterous and contagious laughter that the other villagers followed suit, ignoring Deirdre’s problem.

Archie couldn’t stop laughing until he sensed the frigid gaze of a man beside him, who was known as Kyran.

Archie’s expression turned stiff as he could clearly sense Kyran’s hostility. He simply interpreted the hostility as the result of him neglecting Kyran and said with an apologetic smile, “Mr. Reed, Mr. King, the Village Alnwick welcomes both of your presence. Cheers!”

Mr. Reed didn’t do anything even after Archie finished his glass.

Archie felt rather awkward and asked tentatively, “Mr. Reed?”

“He cannot speak,” replied Deirdre on Kyran’s behalf.

“Cannot?” Archie rolled his eyes upon realizing that Kyran was mute. He jeered, thinking that both Kyran and Deirdre were a perfect match as they were mute and deaf, respectively.
