Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327 Maintain Justice

“Apologize?” Deirdre thought she had misheard and was stupefied. “How come?”

Eilis had the same doubt as well. “I was wondering the same. Given Mrs. Boebert’s personality, would she be polite if she didn’t come to make a scene? To think that she would come over to apologize? She also brought a bag of jujube. She wanted to say sorry to you personally, but I told her you were busy and sent her away.”

Deirdre frowned heavily. “Did she say anything else?”

“No. Let me ask later.” While putting the bag of jujube away, Eilis said, “Anyway, this it’s just in time for this item to be delivered. I’ll cook some jujube porridge for you today.”

“Okay.”

Deirdre nodded. Following that, she returned to her room, freshened up, and made the bed. When she finally left the room, Eilis had left-only the porridge was still cooking in the pot.

Smelling the fragrance was already sweet, Deirdre carefully groped for the switch. As soon as she managed to turn off the fire, Eilis rushed over. “Deirdre, do you know what I heard outside?”

“What’s it?”

“It’s about Mrs. Boebert. Do you know why she came to apologize?” asked Eilis in high spirits.

Deirdre paused for a second and asked, “Why?”

“It’s because of Mr. King! While they were discussing kickstarting the resort project, they said all houses in our village would have to be rebuilt or renovated. Then, Mr. King suddenly told the village chief that Mrs. Boebert had to apologize to us. Otherwise, not only would she lose her opportunity to renovate her house, but she would also not be given any benefits in the future. That’s why she came over in a hurry.”

Deirdre was startled as she listened.

No matter how happy Eilis was at the ability to relieve her anger, Deidre wasn’t delighted at all. She felt

tense instead.

When she got out, she didn’t go toward her own house but to the village entrance.

The church at the entrance of the village had become the place where people like Declan stayed. As soon as Deirdre arrived at the door, Declan came over with a cigar. “Hey, Miss McKinnon, are you here for a walk today?”

“No, I’m not here for a walk,” answered Deirdre as she breathed vapor.

“In this case, what are you here for? Can it be that you are purposely here for someone?” asked Declan. Deirdre was slightly embarrassed. She mustered her courage and said, “This morning, Mrs. Boebert came to apologize to me. Then, I found out that it was you who made the request. I would like to know how you learned about the matter between Mrs. Boebert and me. Why did you help me?”

Before Declan had time to answer, someone came out from the room, snatched away the cigar in Declan’s hand, and extinguished it. Only then did Declan realize that Deirdre had been covering her nose with her hand, trying not to breathe in the smell of the cigar.

Declan’s smile became more ambiguous. “Well, the protagonist is here. You may just ask him yourself while I’ll excuse myself.”

He patted Kryan’s shoulder and left.
