Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1234 Insomnia
Brendan's breath got closer and closer, and just when Deirdre thought he would kiss her, he withdrew his hand. "It's getting late, and I'm a little sleepy. Let's rest.""Okay." Deirdre drooped her eyes and gradually closed them. When she woke up the next morning, she could no longer feel Brendan's body temperature around her. However, Sam said that Brendan hadn't gone out last night.Deirdre yawned, and when she went to the balcony, she seemed to have stepped on something. She lowered her head, and Sam looked over. He unconsciously gasped and asked, "Why are there so many cigarette butts on the balcony?"'Cigarette butts?'Deirdre fell into a daze. When she came to this room, she had gone to the balcony to close the window. She didn't remember these cigarette butts there.Could it be that Brendan had gone to the balcony to smoke after she fell asleep? Deirdre suddenly felt confused. She had been under the impression that Brendan had fallen asleep with her yesterday."Cigarette bu

Brendan was stunned and froze in place.Deirdre was so angry that her head started aching. She wasn't furious because he lied, but because he had insomnia, yet he never told her about it. She only learned about it through Emily!"Why didn't you tell me? Aren't we together now? Why would you rather hide your condition than let me know? Or perhaps I'm not trustworthy at all to you!?"Deirdre's eyes were red.Brendan frowned for a moment, and with a reluctant expression, he said her name with a hoarse voice, "Deirdre..."He took a deep breath and had a broken look in his eyes. "It's not like this. How could you not be worthy of my trust? You are the woman I love the most, and this will never change."Deirdre grabbed his arm. "Then you should have told me all about it! You have suffered from insomnia for a long time. It's not a trivial matter at all!"Brendan smiled wryly. "I… I already consulted the doctor."Deirdre hurriedly asked, "What did the doctor say?""I have insomnia. He

Deirdre's eyes reddened, and Brendan squatted down and kissed her. He then hooked her mouth with his fingertips. "Deirdre, smile. It is not good for the baby or you to be so upset."Deirdre felt her chest tighten. "How can I smile? You can only fall asleep in Emily's presence. Doesn't that mean that..."She had no choice but to beg Emily to come back?Deirdre fell into a daze. This was exactly what Emily wanted—that was why she was so confident. After all, if Brendan continued to suffer from insomnia, even if his mental state improved, he would be driven crazy."I don't need Emily."When Deirdre heard what Brendan said, she raised her head unconsciously.Brendan was calm and composed as he said, "I'll just adjust slowly. Plus, I've made up my mind. I can't really rely on Emily. Then it'll be easy for her to control what I do."Deirdre's face was serious and dark. "But you...""I'll try again."Deirdre nodded. She knew that Brendan had to bear it a while longer. She whispered t

Deirdre shook her head with a defeated look in her eyes. "It's useless. Even sleeping pills can't make him sleep normally. I don't understand what kind of ability Emily has to make insomniacs like Brendan sleep. Or perhaps she did something—"Before she finished her sentence, Sterling stood up abruptly."Where is the hotel?" Deirdre was startled, as she did not expect Sterling's reaction.Sterling repeated again, "Where is the hotel that Brendan went to? What's the room number?""Are you going there?" Deirdre said, "Sam knows. I'll ask him to take you there.""Okay."Deirdre called Sam over, and she wanted to accompany them."Don't go." Sterling said, "If it is as I guessed, that thing is very harmful to pregnant women. Just wait for me to come back."Deirdre didn't know what was going on, so she froze on the spot. Sterling followed Sam into the car, and soon they arrived at the hotel room. With that, Sterling opened the door. The curtains in the room were still drawn, and it w

A smile played upon her lips, and her face radiated an unmistakable grace. She appeared to be a refined young woman hailing from a privileged background.However, if Sterling's suspicions proved true and Emily was indeed capable of such actions, then what a repugnant soul lurked behind that enchanting facade. The thought sent a shiver down Sterling's spine."No, I'm not here for tea.""You didn't come here to drink tea?" Emily was not surprised. "Then you came to question me? I didn't expect Ms. McKinnon to have such great charm to be able to make you come to dissuade me."Sterling didn't even blink or respond to Emily's words, but asked in a cold tone, "What did you do to Brendan?"Emily raised her eyebrows. "Me? Sterling, what can I do to Mr. Brighthall? I'm quite well-skilled in treating insomnia, and I made Mr. Brighthall sleep better. That's all.""Really?" Sterling was so angry that he took the packed incense ash out of his pocket and threw it on the table. "Then how do you

"At that time, Deirdre will be with you willingly and marry you. If you don't like the child in Deirdre's womb who isn't your child, I can abort it myself. From now on, Deirdre will only have children with you alone."Sterling's eyes regained their focus, and there was no hesitation in his eyes anymore. His eyes gradually betrayed his disgust as he looked at Emily.Emily froze for a moment, "Sterling?""You're not sparing even the child in her womb? How can I believe that you will let an outsider like me off the hook?"Emily immediately changed her words. "Sterling, you misunderstood. I just said that I'd do it if you didn't like the child. If you like it, of course, it's best for the child to stay alive."Sterling smiled mockingly with a cold look in his eyes. "I'm not as shameless as you."Emily's face turned pale. Sterling narrowed his eyes and said, "I admit that I still have feelings for Deirdre, but those are far less important than making her happy. Not to mention, I don't
Last Updated : 2023-05-15Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1240 Back to the Research Institute
Deirdre couldn't hide her astonishment—Emily really had done something to Brendan! At the same time, she was pleasantly surprised. As long as Brendan had no physical problems, he could still be saved, right?But soon, her little joy disappeared because she clearly felt Sterling's discomfort. His tense body was not relaxed at all, and he had a struggling and hesitant expression on his face.Deirdre pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Sterry, what's the situation now? What did Emily do to keep Brendan awake all night?"Sterling raised his head, unable to hide the regret on his face. "This is my fault."Deirdre was taken aback, and Sterling continued. "I'm a member of the research institute. For some time, I've been working on a drug that helps insomniacs improve their sleep. The project is named i240. This medicine can be like incense. Ignite it and let the smell volatilize in the air. If you inhale it, you can't help but want to sleep. It stands to reason that this result should h
Last Updated : 2023-05-15Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1241 Brendan Heard It
"Project i240 was a research project conducted by the research institute. Although we abandoned and prohibited its use after verifying the dangers of the drug, I didn't expect that the defective product would eventually end up in Emily's hands and be given to Brendan. I will take responsibility for this. I plan to go to the research institute and work with the members to create an antidote," said Sterling in a serious manner."Antidote?" Deirdre raised her head, her eyes flickering with various emotions. "You mean… there's still hope for Brendan?""Yes!" Sterling smiled. "As long as we develop an antidote, the i240 will no longer be a problem. However..."Deirdre couldn't help but feel nervous."Don't worry. It's not that the antidote is difficult to develop. It's just that it might take a long time. It could be a month or six, but I promise to do my best to develop it as soon as possible. So before that, you need to stay put," Sterling reassured her."Stay put? You mean not to co

"Where is she?"Brendan stared at him, utterly surprised. Sean's voice trembled a bit, but his eyes held a clear and hopeful gaze.Brendan finally calmed down and looked behind him. "There, that's your mother."This was the first time Sean had spoken. Deirdre felt her mind buzzing. When she snapped back to reality, she extended her hand. "Sean, come here."Sean's eyes held gentle amazement. He was intelligent—perhaps he had sensed it on the way there. Thus, his feelings were a blend of happiness and satisfaction.He felt joy that Deirdre was going to be his mother.Being a kid, he took a few steps but couldn't stop his tears, holding onto Deirdre firmly.Deirdre suppressed her own urge to cry and crouched down, wiping away his tears. "Do you... hate mom for not being there and not recognizing you?"Sean shook his head frantically. "As long as you're here… That's enough…"Deirdre hugged him tightly, and Brendan approached, wrapping them both in his embrace.When they brought S
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1572 The Parkers is Entrusted to You
"I was too young back then, still sulking with my father," Brendan replied after recalling his childhood.Arthur chuckled. "Kids will be kids, after all. Besides, your father was an excellent businessman, and you've followed in his footsteps. I've heard about your impressive success with the business in Neve. You're truly talented. With the Parkers under your control, I can finally relax." Brendan thought it was just praise from an elder. He was about to give a humble response when he got surprised by the rest of the statement. This made him freeze in place."The Parkers?" Deirdre was equally surprised."What's wrong?" Arthur beamed. "Don't you both already have children? Although you've divorced, your relationship is still strong. Don't tell me there's no thought of remarriage?""Remarriage? It's not the right time yet." Deirdre blushed from the teasing."It'll come eventually. If that's the case, then you are both part of the Parkers now. You're my only daughter, and he's my s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1571 Revenge and Redemption
Beneath the envelope lay the evidence. Deirdre stared at it for a long time, with Brendan by her side, offering silent support.The next day, they boarded a plane back to Southedge. Within three days, news of the top political figure's downfall due to corruption spread like wildfire throughout Southedge, even captivating the interest of other cities.Upon learning the full story in his study, Arthur's aging face was stained with tears of regret. "If only I had known sooner... I wouldn't have let your mother leave like that."Deirdre lowered her gaze and handed the letter to Arthur. "My mother explains in the letter that her departure was a voluntary sacrifice to protect everyone. She never blamed you."Arthur gazed at the letter, struggling to find the right words.Deirdre left silently, shutting the door.-Ryker was also brought to the police station. Under Sterling's methods, he confessed to the murders. Emily faced the same outcome.All of them waited for their trials.-
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1570 The Evidence to Turn the Tables
The distance from Southedge to Village Alnwick was immense, yet Brendan displayed unwavering resolve."Then let's depart today," he said.As Deirdre bid farewell to Arthur, an unexpected glimmer of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Visiting your mother's grave, huh? Okay, go ahead. Take care of yourself, don't overexert.""Yes," Deirdre replied. Faced with Arthur's hesitant gaze, she felt compelled to add, "Dad, I'll be back."Arthur met Deirdre's gaze, hope rekindling in his eyes.Deirdre softly sighed. "You're my father, my family. Of course, I'll return." "Really? You mean it?" Arthur's excitement made his hands tremble slightly. He held onto Deirdre as if wanting to convey something, but all that emerged was a murmur, "Then please return early... Come back as soon as you can...""Sure. I have a friend coming over later today. Take care of him. Oh, and my boyfriend is here, too. Don't worry about the specifics. I'll explain everything upon my return."As she stepped out, Bren
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1569 Back to Village Alnwick
"Brendan Brighthall?" Ryker wiped away his own nosebleed. "How did you manage to come from Neve? Didn't I ask Emily to keep an eye on you? That useless fool who can't even accomplish simple tasks.""Choosing to control minds with drugs all along, you should have anticipated this outcome." Brendan acted roughly. As he got up, he took the key from Ryker and placed Ryker on a chair.Deirdre clenched Brendan's sleeve tightly. Sensing her tension, Brendan embraced her to calm her down."It's okay. I'm sorry for coming back so late, making you go through this.""It's not your fault. Your timely arrival saved me from further trouble. It's my own foolishness... I let him find something to use against me," Deirdre said, shaking her head weakly.Brendan frowned, cupping Deirdre's face. "He wasn't someone easily deceived, to begin with. You've done well. I'm the one who brought you into this danger, which is unforgivable."Brendan's dark eyes were filled with intense emotions. He had arrive
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1568 The Plan Was Exposed
Deirdre hugged Ryker, resting her head on his chest as he patted her back. "By the way, you're not curious about where I went after I left early this morning?"Deirdre realized the hidden meaning behind Ryker's words, retreated from Ryker's embrace little by little, and looked at him.Ryker's eyes, as enigmatic as ever, held a clarity that seemed to pierce through everything. "I went to the hospital."He didn't wait for Deirdre to respond. "Because I was curious why I was so sleepy last night for no reason. Any ordinary person might chalk it up to exhaustion. But I know my body too well. You drugged me."Deirdre felt a sudden chill running down her spine.Ryker took a step forward casually, but his eyes were full of killing intent. "I underestimated you, Deirdre. Your acting skills are far more impressive than I imagined. You nearly had me fooled. You deserve an Oscar. What a pity that you're now in my hands."Deirdre retreated abruptly, but she found a cold wall barring her esca
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1567 The Key
Deirdre was momentarily stunned as she watched Arthur search around the study. Eventually, he uncovered a rusty key from a drawer.Arthur raised the key. "Is this what your mother desired?"Deirdre's mind raced, thoughts swirling. "Is this from my mother?"A hint of disappointment shadowed Arthur's eyes as he nodded. "This is the only thing she left me before she departed. She didn't explain why. She just made me promise to keep this key and never search for her."Although I agreed, the thought of it weighed heavily on me. So, I hid the key in a corner of the drawer instead of treating it like any other possession. In hindsight, I shouldn't have made that promise. I shouldn't have let her go alone."Deirdre's voice wavered, confusion evident. But as realization dawned, her heart raced. "Can you give me the key?"Arthur earnestly nodded, his expression solemn. "This belongs to your mother. I'm willing to give it to you whenever you're ready. To be honest, I'm relieved to pass it o
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1566 Something From Mother
The butler nodded and guided Deirdre to the study's door. Gathering her emotions, she pushed it open.Arthur's attention was on some documents, but the door's creak made him look up. He met Deirdre's gaze, causing a subtle flicker of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes."Deirdre..." He set aside the file. "Did you just wake up? Hungry? I'll have the kitchen prepare something."Deirdre shook her head, closing the door gently."Not hungry. I came to talk.""Everything okay?" Concern colored Arthur's expression. Though he seemed worried she might leave, he tried to hide it. "Go ahead. I'm with you."Deirdre found his reaction slightly amusing. "I'm not leaving."A spark returned to Arthur's eyes. "Then what's up?"As Deirdre grew more serious, she said, "I came to Southedge not just for a visit. I want to know if my mother left something with you before she passed. Something significant.""Left something?" Arthur was puzzled. "She left several things. Which one do you mean?"De
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1565 He's His Child
Brendan's eyes held a hint of pity as he spoke hesitantly. "Your mother took that item away."He gently touched Deirdre's face. "That man kidnapped your mother years ago. I don't know what happened during that time. Maybe he hurt your mother and wanted to keep her forcibly. Eventually, your mother found a chance to escape back to your father with the man's item."She left suddenly while pregnant with you, not out of hatred for your father, but to protect you. Now, that person is unsure if your mother or Arthur has the item. Thus, he aimed to kidnap both you and your father, taking his time to retrieve them."Deirdre's mind was overwhelmed, flooded with information that threatened to drown her. This unexpected revelation left her in disbelief.'My mother left my father because of me? And the mastermind behind Ryker is responsible for my mother's kidnapping?'"So that item holds significant importance for this person, enough to bring him down, right?" Deirdre forced herself to calm
