Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647 You Misunderstood Him

"Dee..."

Glenna’s mouth hung agape in bewilderment. She had never expected someone this gentle and graceful to be so animated by rage and hate.

Deirdre’s eyes were beet red, but she reined herself in as much as possible. "Sorry, that was sudden and impolite, but I'm not sorry for what I meant. Whether Brendan lives or dies has nothing to do with me! Nothing! I won't and will never see him!”

Declan scowled. A long while later, he said, "I understand your rage against Brendan, but why... did you say he abandoned you in Gillian’s hands?"

"What? He didn't do that?’ Deirdre laughed mockingly. "On that day of the abduction, Cillian called him and told him to come to get me. Do you know what he did? He just took the ride all the way back to Neve! The only reason I'm alive is that I raked my head to find anything to help me survive! He didn't care if I lived, so why should I care if he dies?!"

"You think... he didn't care?" Declan sounded thrown off, as if he was on his back foot. He took a few breaths and sighed.

“Miss McKinnon, you misunderstood him."

Her eyes trembled. "What!?"

The moment Brendan hung up the call was engraved in Deirdre’s mind. She remembered hearing the guard say Brendan had returned to Neve in his car. None of that was fake!

"What? You're telling me he didn’t scurry back to Neve? He didn’t hang up on Gillian’s call telling him to save me? I'm blind, Mr. King, but my ears are not damaged! I heard it all! That is an undeniable truth!"

"It was the truth,” Declan admitted. "He left Eastgene.”
