Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 497 They’ve Reconciled
Mrs. Cox was not belittling Hoyt. It was just that there was such a big gap between Kyran and Hoyt. She had seen a lot of men in her life, and none of them was better than Kyran. Deirdre chuckled and lowered her head. “But I’m sure Mr. Leigh is treating me as one of his friends.”“Really? I don’t think so,” said Mrs. Cox. “You didn’t come back with Hoyt yesterday, so I asked him where you had been. He was kind of dejected while explaining the whole story to me. He looked very sad, and I’ve never seen that kind of expression on his face before.”Deirdre was stunned, but before Mrs. Cox could say anything further, Kyran returned. She stopped saying anything and changed to another topic. “Why don’t you two stay for a meal? I’ll go prepare some food for you.”“Okay, but Kyran and I still have to go somewhere else.”“Where are you going?”“We’re going to Mr. Leigh’s house.”“I see,” replied Mrs. Cox. “Well, he has helped you a lot as well, so you should go and say thank you to him

“Miss McKinnon…” He pressed down the bitterness in his heart and forced a smile on his face. “What brought you here today?”“I’m here to thank you. When I was injured, if it hadn’t been for you riding your bike to the market every day and buying me medicine, my hands wouldn’t have recovered so soon.” Deirdre looked at Kyran. After receiving her signal, Kyran went to the car and took some gifts from the trunk. The village head took them over and said embarrassingly, “I… I didn’t do much. It’s a bit inappropriate for me to receive the gifts.”“Well, although you didn’t do much, your son has provided us with a lot of help,” typed Kyran with a fake smile tugging at the corner of his lips.Even though he did not mention it explicitly, Hoyt knew what he was implying and lowered his head.Deirdre sensed his hostility and cleared her throat. “Mr. Leigh, can I have a minute with you?” Hoyt walked over to the side. Just when Deirdre followed after him, Kyran grabbed her hand.“I’ll be

Madame Leigh felt it strange as well.“Are you sure about that?” Hoyt asked, “Mr. Reed was using his phone to talk yesterday. He’s mute, right?”“I don’t think so.” The village head frowned. “I’ve heard his voice with my own ears. He was very cold and indifferent toward us. Whenever he opened his mouth, he would only be asking about Miss McKinnon’s whereabouts. That’s why I remember him so clearly.”“Me too,” said Madame Leigh. “He was talking to Mr. King that day, and I didn’t see him using any phone at all.”Hoyt was stunned. If that were the case, why was he using his phone when talking to Deirdre?Also, if Kyran was not mute, wouldn't he feel inconvenienced talking to Deirdre using the phone? Or was he doing it on purpose? Was he hiding something from her?Hoyt frowned and fell into deep thought.The village head shrugged and said, “Maybe he isn’t feeling well. Or he just doesn’t feel like using his voice today. It is none of our business anyway. Let’s go inside. The weather

Although it was tough, Kyran had been refraining from thinking about those things and keeping his distance from Deirdre the whole time.Now that he thought he was going to sleep with Deirdre on the bed, his heart raced into a gallop, and he gulped hard.“Can I sleep on the floor?” he typed on his phone.“Sleep on the floor?” Mrs. Cox was stunned. “It’s humid here, not to mention it’s raining now. As such, I don’t think you can sleep on the floor. I can assure you that the mattress and blanket will become wet in just half an hour.”Kyran frowned.Mrs. Cox wondered and asked, “Aren’t you two a couple? Why does it seem to me that you guys are embarrassed to be in the same bed?”Deirdre froze. Even though she also felt it was inconvenient for them to sleep in the same bed, she felt differently when Kyran asked to sleep on the floor.‘Does he not like being close to me?’“Yes, we’re a couple, but we haven’t married yet, so it’s inappropriate for us to sleep on the same bed,” Kyran r

“When do you mean a long time ago? I spent a whole day with you, yet why haven’t I heard you coughing so profusely?” Deirdre felt her heart racing, and she took a deep breath before she said, “Kyran, you’re not well. No one will blame you, so just sleep with me on the same bed. You’d rather ruin your health than share a bed with me? Are you scared that I might do something bad to you?”Kyran was stunned. He furrowed his eyebrows and thought, ‘Why would she think like this? It’s obviously my problem… It’s me who is scared that I can’t control myself…’“You’ve misunderstood, Deirdre. I just think it’s inappropriate because we’re not married yet…”“Excuses.”Deirdre felt powerless. She was already trembling in the cold just by standing at the door, so she found it unimaginable that Kyran could stay here for more than a few hours.She walked over and stretched out her hand to feel the blanket. She could not feel any warmth, just as expected.“Give me your hand.”“Deirdre.”Deirdre

Upon saying that, Deirdre grabbed Kyran’s hands and stuffed them under her shirt once again without being bothered by his reluctance. He could feel the curve above the woman’s abdomen.Kyran kept his fingers curled, yet he could not stop his mind from wandering. His palms were sweaty from holding himself back. Kyran pulled back his hands, turned over, and lay down on the bed, yet his body was burning with sexual desire.“That’s enough.”Deirdre could feel the cold wind stirred up by the movements of the man turning over and also his steel wall-like back within her visual field. She was stunned for a moment.Deirdre could not conceal the dejection she felt in her eyes, but she inquired closely, “Do you feel better, Kyran? Does your throat still feel uneasy? Do you still feel cold?”Kyran did not answer her. She mustered the courage to stretch out her hand. “I’m only going to touch your back, and I will have peace of mind to feel that you’re warm.”Her palm pressed on his back,

Kyran was afraid that he would be impulsive. Deirdre’s face was scarlet. She lowered her gaze and said softly, “You can totally tell me if that is the case.”“Tell you what?” Kyran found himself ridiculous. “Tell you that I have indecent thoughts and that I might possibly hurt you?”“What you have is not indecent thoughts. Kyran, we’re in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. It’s normal for you to have desires for me, just like how I feel about you—”Before she could finish her sentence, Deirdre came to realize what she was about to say, and her face turned scarlet instantly. Kyran appeared astonished and could not help inquiring closely, “Deirdre, how do you feel about me?”Deirdre was evasive. “Nothing much.”Kyran was delighted but felt slightly sad in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed the woman’s lips.Deirdre accepted the kiss and said gently, “However, I can’t do it with you now. The bed can’t withstand the process, and the room is not soundproof…”Kyran held h

Mrs. Cox said smilingly, “No. You didn’t make much noise. I found that both of you were rather quiet. However, after seeing the condition of your lips, I can say that Mr. Reed’s behavior doesn’t match his mannerism.”Deirdre was stunned and touched her lips subconsciously. She could feel that her lips were obviously swollen and even a little tender to the touch. At the thought of Kyran’s ferocity at the time, Deirdre’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She felt rather shy in her head but also delighted. That seemed to be Kyran’s first time losing control of himself. It was a good thing. After all, a person in love was not always sensible enough. Mrs. Cox was delighted in her heart as she looked at Deirdre’s reaction. When she was done binding the rack, she asked Deirdre, “What would you like to have for lunch today? I reserved some pork from Alby, who lives at the village entrance. Shall we have it with roasted carrots today?”“Sure.”“Where’s Mr. Reed? Does he have any diet

"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
