Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 353

“Good call, Dee Dee. It’s a snowstorm here, Dee Dee. The roads have been blocked for the time being! I feel better knowing that Mr. King and Mr. Reed are taking care of you.”

Eilis’s lecture went on for a little longer. Her wide-ranging topic included Deirdre’s safety and how she should never run off alone. Finally, the call ended.

Deirdre sat on her bed, indecisive. After mulling it over, she punched Tobey’s numbers. The recipient practically answered it on the first beep, “Dee?”

Deirdre was still a little surprised at how fast he was. “Toby! You’re… quick. Aren’t you supposed to be resting or something?”

“I rested,” Tobey replied, massaging his temples. “I went to work after a short few hours of rest.”

Deirdre felt a pang of guilt. “Sorry. I cost you last night, didn’t I? And you still have to work the next day.”

Tobey could not help letting out a cackle. “God, Dee. I swear, if you’re calling me just to say you’re sorry, then I wish I didn’t answer you at all.”

Deirdre gave a curt laugh. She never knew how to repay Tobey’s kindness.

“Alright. You called me for a reason, I bet. How can I help you?” he asked.

Deirdre’s lips curved into a shallow smile, but it did not reach her eyes. “I could never hide anything from you, could I?”

Everything had turned out to be a false alarm today, which was a good thing in and of itself. And yet, Deirdre could not help but be reminded of just how little she knew about Kyran. All she knew was that his surname was Reed and that he was mute.

That was all. She had no inkling of his family background, where his home address was, or who his siblings were—nothing. He was an enigma with no history, face, or voice.

The mystery about him put Deirdre at a disadvantage.
