Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 402

’G-Grab Kyran’s arm?’

Deirdre lifted her fingertip and realized, belatedly, that she had been sitting this close to him the entire time. She could touch his finger from her end!

“You misunderstood, sir. We’re not a couple,” she explained hastily.

“Are you sure about that, miss? Because your not-boyfriend has been looking at you with goo-goo eyes the whole time!” The driver teased, laughing. “No need to be shy. I’ve been there. I know what it’s like.”

Deirdre froze and suddenly felt a pair of burning gaze landing on her. She lowered her eyes, and suddenly, the man’s fingers walked into hers before depositing a firm, solid object in her palm.

Deirdre felt it for a moment before realizing it was a pair of Bluetooth earpieces. Perplexed, she plucked them into her ears and heard Kyran’s mechanical voice, “We’re getting close. Remember to stay close to me.”

He had opted to use this method as their means of communication in a crowd, but it also meant that she was the only one who could hear him speak.

The air around them just got a little… intriguing.

Their ever-delighted driver watched their interaction in full view. “Not a couple, she said! Then why do I see sparks flying, eyes getting rosy, the whole shebang, huh? You two could be married already with that level of chemistry, miss! I honestly think you two are a match made in heaven!”

Deirdre knew that nothing she said could dissuade the driver from his verdict by this point, so she kept quiet. It did not stop the latter from running out of topics, though. The driver simply entertained them with romantic tales between him and his wife.

His story came to an end right as they arrived. Kyran paid, and Deirdre got out of the car first as he did. She could not see where she was, but she could hear the first wave of bustling cheers washing all over her.

She was troubled. Had they picked the wrong time?

She took a step forward and heard Kyran’s voice in her earpieces. “Careful.”
