Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 644

Chapter 644 Who Is She to Him, Then?

Deirdre released her grip, and Glenna rubbed on the sore spots.

Too sheepish to look directly at Declan, she gave an awkward laugh and replied, "R-Right! We were… b-both too excited to show off our c-cooking skills."

Declan snickered.

"God, what did I do to deserve having two attractive women dying to feed me good food? It’s not even my birthday yet!"

Hearing Declan call her "attractive" caused Glenna’s brain to eject everything that had happened between herself and Deirdre just seconds ago.

Sheepishly, she announced, "I’ll be in the kitchen!"

She brought the bags to the kitchen while Deirdre stood still on her spot, unmoving.

Declan considered her as he hung his coat and asked tentatively, "Miss McKinnon?"

She raised her head, and he smiled.

"What’s the matter? Didn’t you have a good rest last night? You’ve been wearing a long face since I got here."

"I didn’t have a good rest, yeah."

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but Glenna’s words haunted her like a specter.

Clenching her trembling fingers, she asked, "Where were you, Mr.King?"

"Me?"

Declan turned silent.He could not decide if it was better to tell the truth or fib.It was Deirdre who went straight to the point.

"Is Brendan awake?"

Declan seemed to have been anticipating her.

Hearing her candor somehow made him feel even more relieved.

"No, not yet.He hasn’t been in the best of health these days.This fever he had was really bad, too.It only got slightly better before I came here."

Deirdre closed her eyes and opened them again.
