Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 909

Chapter 909 Winning Brendan Back, Bit by Bit

Brendan pinched the bridge of his nose as if he was trying to fight back fatigue. “I accidentally took a nap during my bath. What’s the matter?” “Oh, it was nothing,” Charlene smiled. “I was just enjoying a chat with Miss McKinnon.” “A chat?” snarled Deirdre, clearly not in the mood to play along. “I’m not in the mood to engage in brain-rotting chatter in the middle of the freezing night. Miss McKinney, though, spent a good few minutes knocking on your door until everyone in the house woke up!”

She turned on her heels and slammed her door shut.

Brendan turned his attention back to Charlene. His face was markedly devoid of rage, impatience, or any emotion. Still, his attention lingered on her body for a far longer time than he usually did.

“Aren’t you cold?” he finally remarked.

Of course Charlene was cold-her getup was scant by design! She did not expect Brendan to take his bath this late into the night either. But since he put it that way… Charlene would not let this perfect excuse pass now, would she?

She pretended to shiver and leaned close to Brendan. “God, now that you mention it… I’m quite cold, Bren.” She cooed coyly. “I’m going to need some of that warmth in your room.”

To her greatest joy, Brendan did not push her away. He even looked like he was considering her proposal!

In the end, though, he shoved her away. “Deirdre’s room is next door, and she’s pregnant with my child.”

Charlene raised her head and noticed the frown of a man who was trying to control his urge.

Yes! He was definitely feeling it! The only reason he was not acting on it was that Deirdre was next door. Damn it, that b*tch always had to get in their way…

Still, it also meant that if the two of them were somewhere Deirdre could not hear, Brendan would have her leap into his lap already!

“Oh, I get it. But I also know that people have needs. It must be so, so hard for you, right? If you’re worried about Miss McKinnon overhearing us, we could always go out?” she asked tentatively.
