Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 233 I Want Your Love
Deirdre’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy and reddened from holding back her tears. She inhaled a deep breath and said, “Thank you, Brendan.”She spoke in all apparent seriousness, and there was gratitude in her eyes. However, Brendan was not pleased by her gaze. On the contrary, he felt a knot in the pit of his stomach and felt suffocated. Deirdre was the only person who was unaware that Ophelia was already dead. He was making up a fake world just to delude her.He could not afford to accept her gratitude. “I told you that I don’t like the words ‘thank you’.” Brendan’s dark eyes turned dim, and he abruptly got up from his seat. “I’m sure that both of you have a lot to talk about because you’ve just been reunited after so long. I’m going to do some work in the study room. You can come to me if you have anything important.”He walked upstairs and took a seat in the study room. The desk was stacked with documents, yet he could not bear to read even one word. He felt an
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 234 Unrelated to Him
Deirdre knew that Brendan was looking at her from the moment he raised his head.It was because she could feel his intense gaze. She could still feel his gaze stopping on her face even when all she could see was darkness. Deirdre lowered her gaze and felt so overwhelmed with emotions in her heart that she could not even hear her own breathing.Brendan leaned over to kiss Deirdre’s lips. He took his sweet time and kissed her gently but affectionately as if he was conquering her with all his life’s patience.“Brendan…” Deirdre pushed him because she was having trouble getting accustomed to this. “Don’t do this…”“Don’t do what?” Brendan asked her with his deep, dark eyes staring at her, “Don’t stand so close to you, don’t kiss you like this, or don't say what I said to you earlier?”Deirdre clutched Brendan’s arms tightly and felt his warm breath blowing on the side of her face. “Tell me, Deirdre. You can tell me anything. I’ll satisfy you and meet your needs.”At last, Deirdre
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 235 Still Alive and Doing Great
Before Deirdre shut her eyes, she wrapped her arms around Maeve’s arm and said, “I feel lucky that you’re still alive, mother. Don’t be saddened by dad's death. I’ll protect you from now on, and I will live well for you.”She fell asleep drowsily while Maeve’s eyes widened. She was so deeply moved by Deirdre’s remark that she didn’t know what to say. What would the real Ophelia say at this very moment? She could not figure out an answer. The phone in her pocket vibrated. She waited until Deirdre was in a deep sleep before she moved away Deirdre’s arms cautiously and got out of bed. She walked out of the room to find Brendan smoking at the door. There were already a few cigarette butts scattered on the ground. His dark eyes were narrowed as he looked up to the first floor and said without even turning to Maeve, “Is Deirdre suspicious?”Maeve shook her head. “It is apparent that she isn’t. Ms. McKinnon is very pure and will go straight to the point and express something that is bot
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 236 Thought She Left
Sam stood in the same spot while Deirdre walked ahead for two steps before she noticed that Sam was not by her side. “Sam?”“I’m here.” Sam caught up to her in a few steps, and they walked together on the flat ground. Deirdre said, “What happened? Why are you suddenly so quiet? I thought something bad had happened.”Sam felt a tight knot in the pit of his stomach as he looked at Deirdre’s lively mannerisms, her smile, and her gentleness. He suddenly empathized with Brendan’s feelings. ‘If this lie can be sustained forever, will that be a good thing for Deirdre?’“Nothing much. I saw a child running about on the road earlier, so I stopped to check the traffic.”“Children are always mischievous.” Deirdre’s smile became frozen for a moment, but she quickly changed the conversation topic. They were not far from the villa, so they chatted harmoniously while they walked and arrived at the courtyard soon.However, Sam saw a tall and huge figure from afar, even before they reached
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 237 Unprepared to Tolerate Sam
It would be impossible that he did not feel angry because of his icy cold answer. Deirdre sat on the sofa in a daze and attempted to test his mood by pouring him warm water. “Warm your hands first. It must be cold outside.”Brendan stared at Deirdre and felt his anger diminish substantially after seeing her nose and hands reddened by the cold. He received the mug and said, “Do you know why I’m angry?”Deirdre shook her head. “You could have informed me before you left the house, and I could have kept you company. You left without saying anything, so how am I supposed to explain to Ophelia if she’s worried?”Deirdre lowered her head. “I didn’t know that you’d be up so early.”“Remember to come and knock on my door right away if there’s anything next time.”He did not wish to see Sam and Deirdre walking together anymore. Even though Sam was obedient, it did not signify that he was prepared to tolerate Sam spending time with Deirdre. “Alright.”Deirdre nodded without the s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 238 He Didn’t Mind
“Don’t move!”He suppressed his anger and waited until Deirdre’s finger stopped bleeding at last before he went looking for the first aid kit left by Dr. Ginger in haste. The temperature of the man’s lips was still lingering on Deirdre’s finger. She was supposed to feel the stinging pain of the cut, yet the finger felt burning hot for no apparent reason. She could clearly remember that Brendan was a neat freak, yet he did not mind doing that for her.‘Has he lost his mind…’“Give me your hand.”Brendan’s tone was filled with intense anger, but he had not lost his temper. Instead, he dressed Deirdre’s wound with a bandaid meticulously. He did not speak even after he was done. Deirdre was rather anxious. “Are you angry, Brendan?”“Is there nothing else that you can say other than this?”Brendan answered in a hostile manner. He was so fueled by anger that he could lose his temper at any moment.Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly. “It’s because you are angry… but you’re not v
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 239 Familiar-Looking Woman
It was Brendan’s first time relenting and giving her permission to go out. Deirdre’s empty eyes were glistening with a glint. Brendan said, “Sam won’t be coming, so only both of you are going. Remember to be back before six and don’t catch a cold.”“Alright.” Deirdre was delighted. “We will be back soon.”“Hmm.” Brendan was done with his breakfast, so he was preparing to leave. He tossed an ATM card to Deirdre before he left. “There are four million dollars in the card, so there should be more than enough to cover the expenditure for both of you today. Call me if it’s not enough. You know my number.”“It’s fine…” Deirdre swallowed her words after blurting out her rejection. They were a married couple now, so it was very normal for Brendan to give money to his wife for shopping. If she were to reject him, it would make them appear estranged and stir up Ophelia’s suspicion easily. “Alright.”Brendan did not speak more but left with Sam.Deirdre and Maeve waited until the weath
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 240 Stop Deceiving Yourself
“Is there anybody else with them?”The sales associate shook her head. “Just the mother and daughter. I have yet to see anybody else with them.”Charlene’s pupils constricted abruptly, and she clutched the sales associate’s arm. “Mother and daughter? What do you mean by mother and daughter?”She was really agitated. The sales associate looked anxious because she had no idea what she had done to trigger Charlene’s anger. She answered cautiously, “You asked about those two. They are mother and daughter… The first thing the young woman with the disfigured face said when she entered the shop was that she’s shopping for clothes for her mother. What else can they be if not mother and daughter…”Charlene was extremely shocked. No one knew better than her that Ophelia was already dead. She had died a year ago. Hence, Deirdre could not have a mother. She pressed the sales associate with a gloomy expression by saying, “Are you sure? Are you sure that the young woman acknowledged the othe

"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.

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
