Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883 I’d Whisk You Away Instantly

The call was cut short on that hostile note.

The finality of the man’s voice made Deirdre’s heart leap. She had expected things to evolve beyond the point of no return, but it did not mean she predicted how far past that point. The deluge of negative public opinion? The civil war within his company? She was the one who had triggered it all.

Deirdre’s lips turned pale. She pressed her fingers so hard her nails almost looked transparent.

Then, the door was opened. Brendan found her standing right outside, his eyes expressing shock. “Why are you here?” “Because you were inside for so long, I thought I should come to check on you…” she explained.

“So, you heard everything?”

She nodded with difficulty.

Brendan fondled her hair comfortingly. “Don’t overthink it. It has nothing to do with you. The problem lies in me. I should have protected you better.”

He lowered his head and leaned his lips close to her hair. “I’m just glad you’re okay.”

His sincerity was so overwhelming it got around into becoming almost suggestive. Deirdre felt as though her entire body had burst into flames.

Brendan seemed to forgo responding to her idea. Instead, he asked, ‘You haven’t had your injuries addressed yet today, right?”

Deirdre reeled in realization and looked away anxiously. “I, uh, haven’t had the time, but-” “The doctor has sent over your medicines,” he interjected, cutting Deirdre’s excuse short.

She clenched her fists nervously and murmured, “But they’re practically on their way to complete recovery! It’s going to be fine even without rubbing medicines on them. Besides… it doesn’t hurt anymore.” “Then why were you breathing hard when I touched you this morning?” Brendan questioned as he stepped forward. He drew closer and closer to her, their faces almost touching, his gaze nailed unblinkingly at her thinned, supple lips.

“I… It was…” Deirdre gulped and tried to protest. “It wasn’t because you accidentally touched my wound! It’s because you were crushing me with your weight!” “But your injuries were still blue and black all over.” “Okay, so we’ll have Mrs. Engel-”

Brendan suddenly scooped her off her feet in his arms.
