Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761 Real Man

“I shall take over the grocery shopping task as well. I’ll do it on my way home from work. You will only need to set your mind at ease and stay home. You don’t need to bother yourself with anything else. Don’t open the door to anyone other than me.”

“Sure.” Deirdre’s face was ghastly pale.

It was her only option now.

Deirdre spent the next few days constantly in deep distress. Every time she heard footsteps outside, she would be scared out of her wits. However, it was fortunate that nothing bad happened.

‘You don’t need to worry too much. How can Brendan possibly be able to locate us when we’re in a huge place like Surstate? He’s not the director with the script of our life stories. You don’t need to be too worried.”

Tobey took two bites of the meal and comforted Deirdre by saying, “You can go out for a walk to relax your mind once the dust settles. You don’t need to stay in the room all day long because that won’t be good for the baby.”

Deirdre’s grip over her cutlery tightened. “It’s alright. I think staying here is pretty good, and I like not having to worry and think about anything else.”

Tobey looked at her and said, “Are you still afraid, Deirdre?”

Deirdre felt lingering fear in her heart after that day’s incident. She acknowledged she was being oversensitive, but there was nothing she could do to convince herself otherwise.

‘Tobey, don’t you find it strange that Brendan is convinced that I’m in Surstate for sure? Even if he did figure out that we traveled here by sea, there were so many ships heading to different places that day. How could he be so sure that we’re in Surstate?”

Tobey fell quiet as soon as she made the remark.

Not only Deirdre but he was puzzled on this issue as well. In fact, he was worried that the cargo ship’s crew might have revealed information about them to Brendan.
