Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 404

Despite wearing a mask over half of her face, Freya could tell from Deirdre’s beautiful eyes and her smooth, glowing skin that she was looking at a gorgeous beauty.

More importantly, there was no way Deirdre McKinnon, the freak, was this same young woman!

Arianne saw it, too. She perused the woman among the line-takers and questioned aloud, “Uh… Is this the freak you mentioned?”

“Of course not!” Freya snapped. A flood of shock and anger washed over her. She was shocked to see Kyran seeing another woman and angry that he had only used that ugly freak to reject her advance. She knew it! That freak was a nobody from the start!

Kyran had gotten his purchase and returned to the young woman’s side. He shielded her from the crowd’s less gentle pushes with such sweet devotion that Arianne could not stop herself from remarking, “I can’t believe I’m seeing this. Mr. Reed, famous for being reserved and quiet and asocial… Being a sweet, caring gentleman to a woman like that! No way around it, sis. They are with each other.”

Envy shot up Freya’s chest. A thought came to her mind, and her lips curled into a smirk. “Hey, Ari? If you were that young woman over there, and you heard that your boyfriend has been in a relationship with a freak more hideous than pus, how would you feel?”

“I'd be freaking pissed,” Arianne blurted out. “It’s like telling me I’m as attractive as a repulsive freakshow!”

She stopped. Turning slowly to Freya, she said slowly, “Er, you’re not actually thinking…”

Freya said nothing. Biting her thumb, she scowled at the couple, her embittered eyes as lethal as daggers.

Deirdre quickly pulled her mask down to take a bite. Suddenly, she felt something zeroing onto her back, as though she was being preyed upon, and turned around in discomfort.

“What’s wrong? Not to your taste?” Kyran asked, typing.

“No. It’s exactly what I love.” It was weird. She had never told him about her food preferences, and yet Kyran managed to buy just the things she liked. He had even gotten the right sauce.
