Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482 Don’t Let Her Run!

She hurriedly followed Hoyt without the young man ever catching notice. He seemed almost too taken in by the money in his pocket. He stopped by Mrs. Cox’s door.

Hoyt immediately noticed Deirdre, who was drying some herbs outside the door. He paced toward her and greeted her. “Hey, morning!”

She raised her head at the voice. “Mr. Leigh.”

Hoyt scratched his head bashfully before producing all of the money from his pocket. He stuffed the bills into her hands. “Here. 300 dollars from selling your coat.”

Deirdre took 90 bucks and gave the rest to Hoyt. “Here. You deserve this.”

“D-Deserve what?” Hoyt stammered and inhaled sharply. “I didn’t do anything to deserve this!”

“No, you help me a lot. You deserve it.” Deirdre stuffed the money into his hands. Her tone was sincere. “It was you who helped me with my injuries, and it was you who had to spend four hours these days to buy medicine for me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to liquefy my coat. I’ll give 90 dollars to Mrs. Cox while you hold onto the rest. Think of it as consultation and medicine fees, okay?”

Hoyt was hard-pressed to argue against her, so he accepted it in the end. Still, he was quietly against hoarding the money for his own and plotted to buy some cream for Deirdre’s face, which had turned ruddy from the exposure to the sea breeze.

“I… All right, all right.”

She smiled. “That’s the spirit!”

Her smile was as beautiful and mesmerizing as the sun.

Hoyt could not stop himself from blushing. All he could do was to cast his head down as hard as he could to hide it from happening-exactly as his mother bumped into the scene.

Her son was acting like a shy schoolboy as she stood next to a woman she had never seen before. She looked pretty enough, but the poor thing had quite a few scars that seemed to have not recovered.
