Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 765

Chapter 765 What Good Is Liking Someone?

Tobey was actually drunk. Deirdre could not help furrowing her eyebrows tightly and draped a scarf over herself before opening the door.

Henry fixed his eyes upon the sight of Deirdre, who still looked exquisite despite not having any makeup on, and he felt that he had sobered up substantially.

‘‘You’re still awake, Miss McKinnon?”

Deirdre let out a forced chuckle and extended her arms to receive Tobey.” Leave Tobey with me. Thank you for sending him home, Mr. Walker. It’s late, so I won’t invite you in for a night cup.”

Her act of rejecting Henry as a guest was obvious, but Henry appeared to be oblivious. He shoved the door and squeezed himself into the residence. ‘Tobey is drunk. How can you care for him when you can’t see? I’m here to offer myself as a high-school friend.”

He entered the house and sized up the environment of the house first. He was surprised to discover something and said, ‘You’re boyfriend and girlfriend, but you’re still living in separate rooms?”

Deirdre brought Tobey to the sofa with great effort, inhaled a deep breath, and said,

“Hmm. He leaves for work early and comes home late, so he’s worried that he will disturb my sleep.”

She turned around to get some water from the kitchen. Henry followed right behind her to stare at her charming figure and her long legs that were showing vaguely under her nightgown when she walked, ‘‘You used to be very arrogant and demanding in the past, and you couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to a man of my status. I used to think that you’d marry a millionaire in the future, so I didn’t expect that you’d actually choose to be with Tobey. Is it because he’s good-looking?”

Deirdre’s expression changed drastically, but she answered briefly, “I just like him.”

“Alright then.” Henry sniggered and said, “Like? What good is liking someone? He can only wander from place to place with you and make you live in an old house like this, no matter how much you like him. He can’t even afford to get you a luxury bag.”

Deirdre considered for a moment and figured she could lock the door of her room from her side, so she nodded and said, ‘You can rest in Tobey’s room. Tobey has had too many drinks, so I shall let him stay in my room. It will be convenient for me to take care of him too.”

She indirectly told Henry that Tobey was in her room, so he should not act rashly.

Henry agreed and helped Deirdre to get Tobey on the bed. Then, he said, “I shall head outside. Take care of Tobey.” “Sure.”

The first thing Deirdre did after Henry’s voice vanished was to lock the door. She made sure that the door was bolted tight before she relaxed and wiped Tobey’s face with a towel. Then, she pulled a blanket from the closet and covered Tobey.

She lay on the other side of the bed and felt cold for no apparent reason. She felt anxious in Henry’s presence because of his perverted demeanor. It was no wonder Tobey would advise her to be cautious of him.
