Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 The Price of Being an Adult

Deirdre was not in the mood to eat after contacting Brendan had yielded no result. She lay on the bed and lost count of time before she realized that the edge of the bed had sunk down in her drowsy state.

“Who’s there?” She jolted awake in confusion and stretched out her hand to feel about the bed, only to feel a well-defined, huge hand.

A moment later, her hand was grabbed abruptly and a man said in a mocking tone,” Are you so horny, Deirdre? I was only sitting here, yet you groped me in such a haste…”

Deirdre was stunned for a moment before she immediately pulled back her hand, her expression full of astonishment. “No… Why are you here, Brendan?”

“What do you mean why am I here?” Brendan furrowed his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, leaned over, and then narrowed his eyes in a dangerous manner. “Who else could be in this villa other than me? Or are you so bold that your invited another man here without telling me?”

Deirdre’s expression became distorted from pain. “Aren’t you… Aren’t you with. Charlene? What brought you here all of a sudden?”

She had never expected that Brendan would show up today. Besides….

“You’ve been drinking.”

Brendan smelled so strongly of alcohol that she could not smell his usual scent. It was the reason she had not recognized him and why she had attempted to figure out who it was by feeling the other person.

“How could I suppress my hatred for you and come to see you without drinking?” Brendan sniggered and removed his jacket. “Let’s put an end to this quickly so I can go home to keep Charlene company.”

As he lay on top of her, her fingers trembled and she blurted, “Don’t! Don’t do it again, Brendan!”

Brendan’s movements halted to a stop, and his expression turned so unpleasant that Deirdre could feel it without seeing it. “You claim that you don’t want it, yet you called me and asked me to keep you company. Deirdre, you’re really good at playing this cat- and-mouse game with me. Do you think that everyone is at your service, ready to attend to your needs whenever you please?”

Deirdre explained, her face ghastly pale, “I didn’t call you so you’d keep me company.

I wanted to ask you when you’d be willing to bring my mother back to the country so I can meet her.”
