Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 Hang Tight

“Damn straight, but… It’s different for him. He directs it all to himself, thinking that if he could just be better somehow, the girl of his love wouldn’t have ended up with that fat cat. The more he dwelled on that thought, the more he hung his head and just… couldn’t straighten his spine and look ahead no more.”

Pity colored Deirdre’s eyes.

“Money is the Devil, ain’t it? You can do whatever you like when you’re rich, but live by your shoestrings if you don’t have ’em.”

Mrs. Cox continued. “That’s why I’m happy to see Hoyt this happy when he helps you. Maybe you won’t date each other, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you brought him out of the shadows. That’s the point of these relationships, isn’t it? Forgetting the pain of the last one is a blessing. Finding a new person to try again is another.”

The rain stopped.

Mrs. Cox went back to sleep while Deirdre sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes blank.

‘Try again with a new person, she said.”

That was not what Deirdre had thought back then-until she met Kyran. He was gentle, kind, and attentive. He had broken every wall she had built around her heart.

Any sentiment she had against Brendan had begun to fade-even hate.

She was ready to start over… only to have God reveal that it was a prank all along.

It was a fool’s full circle. She had fallen for the same man twice, after all.

She closed her eyes groggily. A while later, she heard sounds, people talking.

Deirdre opened her eyes, put on a coat, and walked toward the living room. There were two people there. One of them was Mrs. Cox, and the other was-vague as his features were-Hoyt.

The young man seemed rather flustered to see her. Hanging his head, he greeted, “G-G-Good morning, Miss McKinnon.”

Deirdre stared at him absentmindedly and nodded. “Mr. Leigh! Morning.”

Mrs. Cox was wearing the widest grin she could muster. “Looks like all of our main characters are here. Let’s get the show on the road!”
