Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Don’t Force Me to Get Angry

“I’d like to rest some more.”

Deirdre avoided answering. Sam understood clearly. Hence, he nodded, said a few words, and went out.

Right after the door closed behind Sam, he saw Brendan, who was wearing a coat, coming out of the elevator. Brendan was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, his face looked extremely tired, and it was accompanied by an abnormal flush, as if he was ill. Sam hurriedly paced toward Brendan and greeted him. “Mr. Brighthall.”

“Has Deirdre woken up?”

“Yes, she just woke up.”

As Brendan was about to enter the room, Sam asked, “Mr. Brighthall? Did you not rest well? You seem ill. How about you consult the doctor first?”

“No worries.” Brendan frowned heavily. “I’ll take a look at Deirdre.”

Brendan pushed open the door and saw Deirdre, who had closed her eyes but whose eyelashes were still trembling. Then, Brendan closed the door behind him.

“Are you asleep?”

Brendan asked even though he knew Deirdre was still awake. His fatigue was a result of two sleepless nights, in addition to the biting cold breeze of the autumn evening that had made him sick. Step by step, he paced toward the edge of the bed, took off his coat, lifted the quilt, and went straight to bed.

Because of the narrow single bed, Brendan had to hold Deirdre in his arms. For reasons unknown, he felt total peace at that moment.

Deirdre froze and her heartbeat quickened.

There was no gap between them. Deirdre’s forehead rested on Brendan’s chest, and her nose was filled with his smell.

There was Charlene’s smell on him as well.
