Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 566

Chapter 566 Why Did You Call Me That?

Brendan’s fever had kicked up brain fog. He started wrapping his arms around Deirdre’s

waist while an easy, mirthful smile surfaced on his face. He was free and no longer had

to pretend to be a b*stard in a suit.

“I’m hungry, Deirdre.” He cooed between panting. “Can you make me another veggie

spaghetti, like the last time you made me? It was so good! I miss it now.”

Deirdre’s face turned white. What did he mean by ‘the last time?’ Since when had she

ever made him something like that? The last time she did was two years ago! Why would

Brendan suddenly care about it now?

And the way he addressed her, the tone he was using, why did it feel so familiar?

Deirdre felt her entire frame shaking. Her eyes seemed to be trembling in their sockets.

The figure of a man surfaced in her mind against her deepest wishes…

But that was impossible. That was ludicrous! Absurd!

She bit her lips to stay calm. No, whatever she was thinking was absurd, outlandish, and

preposterous. And yet, she could not stop her heart from tightening at the thought.

Staying calm was becoming a tall order to Deirdre.

She grabbed hold of Brendan. “What did you just call me!?” she demanded, her voice

quivering. “What did you just say!?”

The sheer panic in her voice finally shook Brendan out of his delirium. His eyes focused

slowly until his vision pooled around the young woman and her ashen horror.

A pang struck his head like a blunt force. He gripped the edge of the blanket tightly, and

his voice returned to its steely default. “Why the h*lI are you here, McKinnon? What the

h*ll happened to me?”

Deirdre almost wanted to laugh. “Why the h*lI are you— Did your fever wipe out your

memory? We were trying to avoid the rain, so we came to stay in this hotel. And then

you got a fever so serious, you blacked out.”

Brendan took a deep breath and felt chills crawling under his skin. Pulling the blanket up

to himself, he asked, “Where are my clothes?”
