Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 743

Chapter 743 An Engagement

Still, Deirdre could not stop herself from asking, “Why?”

Brendan placed his head on where her shoulder and neck met. He twirled a strand of her hair with his fingertip. “Because a baby girl will be an adorable, mischievous, sweet little gremlin. Just like her mother.”

“But what if it was a boy?”

The light in Brendan’s eyes dimmed. “Then I hope he doesn’t turn out like H me. Had Deirdre still believed him to be Kyran, she would have chalked this up as Kyran being modest as usual. He was perfect! Impeccable! Flawless! Why would anybody hope their son turned out differently?

Deirdre was stunned. “How much?” she asked, just to go along.

“So, so much. I’d sacrifice everything for you. I’m… I’m so happy for our child, Dee. I’m just so grateful for them to even exist. Oh God, I love you.”

His voice, his words, his manner of speaking-all of them were saturated with unmistakable sincerity. It overpowered Deirdre so much that she almost lost control of her act, and that thought terrified her. She could feel that sudden, impulsive urge to just beg Brendan to let her go because somehow… Somehow, she wondered if

Brendan had some sense and decency left in him. If he did… If he knew he had done much wrong, he would let her go in good faith, right? Right?

“Dee?”
