Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 884

Chapter 884 I Won’t Let You Down

The sudden weightlessness bewildered Deirdre. She instinctively grabbed his collar as she grimaced in panic. She could feel him opening a door, and then, silently-she found herself gently plopping on the softness of her bed.

Her surroundings were too quiet, and she could hear her heart racing.

Helplessly, she cried out, “B-Brendan? B-Brendan!”

The man in question planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I’m here.”

She withdrew her fingers into fists. “Please, don’t…”

The nervous dread on her face annoyed him enough that he snorted.

Please don’t’? Really?”

Deirdre parted her lips, but Brendan continued before she could explain herself further. “I’m not an animal, Dee. I’m not going to take advantage of you when you’re still injured. I’m only worried about you. Once I finish administering medicine on your injuries. I’ll leave.”

His movement was so gentle that Deirdre blanked and tacitly allowed him to do whatever he wanted to do.

As it turned out, Brendan did exactly what he said he would. He gently poured some ointment on her injuries and rubbed them carefully, his erstwhile cool hand strangely warm this time.

Deirdre gnashed her teeth and braved through the process, though she would occasionally frown when it hurt. Brendan always caught it the moment her brows furrowed slightly and tweaked his motion to become even more featherlight.

When it was over, Brendan told her gravely, ‘The people who did this to you have all been punished… severely. From now on, nobody’s going to harm you ever again.”

There was a layer of subtext in his quiet boast.

Deirdre’s mind blanked at the possibility. She raised her head and asked,” Calculated? What do you mean?”

Brendan said nothing. After gazing into her eyes for a moment, he let go of her. ‘You should rest. Good night.”

Deirdre fell onto her back, but all she could think about was what he had said. He seemed prepared-even as the board was going to unanimously fire him, he did not seem worried at all. Could it be that he had already made his next move, or could it be…

Deirdre woke in the early morning. She hastily put on a coat and got downstairs.

Mrs. Engel was busy in the kitchen.
