Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703 What If I Am Kyranl?

Deirdre's rage dissipated in all of her weariness. He was right-she knew what she was getting when she chose to do this.

Brendan stared down at her from his nose, his gaze unreadable. "So, why are you here, exactly?"

Deirdre closed her eyes. "I want you to let Kyran live in peace."

"What!?"

She opened her eyes and swallowed the bitter lump forming in her throat. Her pretty, clear eyes were begging him. "Please,Brendan, if you’re pissed about something, just vent it on me. Don’t drag Kyran into it, please! He doesn’t know. He doesn’tdeserve it."

Deirdre gave a weak, self-deprecating smile. "Yes."

It was not like she had not done something like that in her life before. She had cast away her dignity for Brendan for so long. In comparison, she would be happy if all of this came in exchange for Kyran's freedom.

A strong wave of emotions flashed in Brendan's eyes. "You-"
