Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 850

Chapter 850 Pregnancy Check-Up

"Mr.Brighthall, if I may?"

Mrs.Engel began worriedly.

"I don’t know what happened between you and Mrs.Brighthall, but I haven't been blind to how you’ve been treating her.I’m hard - pressed to believe anyone who says you don’t care about her, okay? I also don’t really understand why you had to lie to her, but if I may ...Mrs.Brighthall is a very sensitive person.She needs security, Mr.Brighthall.Lying to her once is enough.Please, don’t do it again...before her heart turns to stone."

A fog seemed to have dawned on Brendan’s eyes.

"I understand what you say, but I’m afraid this is more complicated than you might have imagined.For now, please focus on taking care of Deirdre."

Mrs.Engel raised her head.

"Are you leaving?"

Brendan remembered the things Charlene had said that day, his expression darkening.

"No, not leaving.I simply have something important I must settle."

He went upstairs.

Naturally, the door to Deirdre’s room was locked, so he knocked.

"Can I come in, Dee?"

There was no answer—just as he expected.

His first instinct was to forcibly open the door with a key, but his mind quickly conjured Deirdre’s sneering, snickering face and her comment about being denied the most basic of freedom and agency.

He lost to that imagery and decided against his instinct.

It also meant he had to hasten his progress.

Deirdre could hear his retreating footsteps as she lay on her bed.

Her chest gradually phased from agony to numbness, though she could still feel occasional spasms.

What a joke she was.

She had been under the impression she was manipulating him, but it turned out she almost fell for his honey trap.

If Henry's sister had not shown up, she would have slowly and gradually wished that this cursed relationship would continue the way it was, would she not? She closed her eyes.

The day was still bright, but she was already too tired to live through the rest of the day.

She only managed to sleep at 4:00 or 5:00 a.m.

Brendan had not seen Deirdre for four days straight since then.

Maybe he was busy with work, or maybe he was avoiding her.

Deirdre believed the latter because, knowing Brendan, the man would always find a way to fake a "chance"

meeting if he wanted to.
