Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 804

Chapter 804 In the End, You Can’t Bear to See Me in Pain, Too

Sam shot a worried glance at Deirdre and left. The door closed behind him, but Deirdre was still one step away from opening it again.

Brendan gritted through his pain and beckoned. “Come here, Deirdre.”

She did not move. Instead, she asked, “Doesn’t your wound need to be addressed?”

Brendan’s eyes glinted. “Are you concerned about me?”

Deirdre snickered. “Is that even possible?”

Brendan’s eyes dimmed. “No,” he remarked with a slight hint of self- deprecation.

Deirdre clenched her hands. “Glad we’re on the same page. Now, I’m going if there’s nothing else for me here.” “Where to? It’s late at night.” “Downstairs where I can sleep. Or maybe share a bed with Mrs. Engel.”

Brendan’s eyes turned cold. His tone turned firm, like an order. “Come here.”

Deirdre was about to say something when he interjected warningly, “You know how I’m like, right? Don’t make me say it twice.”

If she made him say it twice, there would be consequences. Deirdre had no idea what kind it could be, but she knew it was going to be unbearable. Casting her eyes to the floor, she made her way slowly to him.

Brendan helped her into the bed and pulled her into a cuddle, where Deirdre remained stiff.

He sniffed the woman’s scent hard until his nerves calmed. “Aren’t you curious?

Curious about what has happened to me, maybe?” He rested his head on her bosom.

He stopped for a second or two and said, ‘Your wish almost came true, Deirdre. I almost died.”

Deirdre could not tell what he meant when he claimed it was her wish, but she was too disinterested to tell him she had no such wish, either.
