Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 854

Chapter 854 The Wedding Invitation

Brendan and Charlene were getting married.

That was despite the fact that she was bearing Brendan’s child.

In other words, her pregnancy had done nothing to stop the man from loving another woman.

It was the kind of thing that would elicit disdain and jeers.

The only reason why they even showed Deirdre the most basic of decorum was that the father of her child was Brendan himself.

"Oh, I see."

Deirdre exhaled a long breath.She did not feel as shaken as she thought she would be—perhaps she had been anticipating this for that much time.

The only thing that she thought of—and so the only that caused any feelings—was what Brendan had said before he left.

"You've always been in my heart." What an absurd joke he had made.

"Congratulations, I guess.And sorry, too, since I’m not yet fit to meet the world right now.I’m going to have to skip your wedding."

She set the card on the table.

Charlene stared at Deirdre's face as though hoping she could catch a glimpse of jealousy from her gorgeous features.

She chuckled.

"Can’t meet the world, or forbidden to?"

Deirdre’s eyes dimmed.

Charlene twitched the corner of her lip into a smile.

"I feel bad for you, Miss McKinnon.I really do.You’ve even managed to be pregnant with his child! But even after I gave you so many chances, you still failed to make him love you.But don't worry! I have to thank you for doing the job of childbirth for me, right? I'll take good care of that kid as Brendan’s wife in the future.Pinky promise!"

She shoved the card back into Deirdre’s hand, turned on her heels, and left.

The maid quickly followed her to see her off.

Nobody seemed to think it was worth comforting Deirdre or asking if she was okay.

Deirdre could not stop thinking back to the past—the wedding she had planned.She had planned the entire event meticulously.She had devoted her soul to it, and yet Brendan did not care about any of that at all.

To him, it had felt like going through yet another ceremonial motion—even the part where he had cradled her by the waist and called her "beloved" had been simply part of the show.

He had spent their wedding night cooped up in the room Charlene slept.

She had spent their wedding night awake, waiting for her husband, who never came.
