Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606 Just Like Old Times

Brendan shot her a sideways glance. Deadpanned, he asked, "And how did you guess that?" "I knocked on your door a while ago, and no one answered, so I went to ask the front desk," answered Deirdre candidly. "She was the one who told me you went out last night."

Brendan shut his eyes tiredly. ‘That's true,” he said flatly. "I went out."

Deirdre sank into silence. She looked at him, her confusion growing as seconds crawled. Was he not going to explain himself? Explain why he went out?

She took a deep breath and asked, 'The receptionist said you were looking for phone stores. Now, why would you do that?"

He rested for a bit before twitching his lips into a smirk. "What answer are you hoping to gain, McKinnon?”

Deirdre was stunned.

"Do you want me to say, ‘Oh, I went to look for a phone store late at night for your sake? Because I don't want you to be sad anymore?’ Or do you expect me to say, ‘Because I really care for you!’", hmm?”

Deirdre was hard-pressed to answer him. If anything, she began to feel a small, but not insignificant, fire lighting up in her chest. She had not expected any of those answers at all!

"Please, Mr. Brighthall. I know how little worth I hold in your heart, so don't fret about me somehow misunderstanding you. It's practically impossible for me to harbor any hope for decency in you! So rest easy. I didn't think of any of those things,” she retorted firmly, her shots fired.

It was Brendan’s turn to fall silent. As he rested his fingers on the edge of the couch, he could see them trembling a little.

"I just don't understand the urgency." She continued. "Why did you have to go that extra length at all?”

"Because my phone was busted too.”

Deirdre’s frown finally relaxed. “Oh, so that's why. Sorry about that."

Brendan's lips parted slightly. ‘There’s nothing to be sorry about. It was a willing rescue on my part. I have no regrets," he explained.

"But I can't live without my phone. I need to contact people, so I went out late at night. It was that urgent."
