Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 733 Tobey Is With Me
‘Two hours?’Deirdre felt relieved because there was still time. She stood at the most eye-catching spot and had people striking up conversations with her frequently, yet none of them was Tobey. After checking the time on her phone a few times and numerous people walking past her in succession, Deirdre could not stand it anymore and grabbed someone next to her to ask, “Do you know if the flight from Eastgene’s arrival has been delayed?”“Delayed?” The woman came from Eastgene. She said, “It landed more than half an hour ago.”“What?”Deirdre did not have the time to feel shocked before her phone buzzed. She hastily picked up the call and heard Kyran’s voice. There was the faint sound of breathing that belonged only to Brendan. It was calm, composed, yet unfathomable.“Deirdre, didn’t you say that Tobey has already gotten on a flight?”Deirdre widened her mouth and felt a pricking pain in her throat. She pinched herself ferociously so she could calm down and asked, “What’s goi

Brendan sounded and behaved as if he was asking about the weather today. Deirdre felt a sense of intense fear.Brendan could stir fear with his imposing behavior, even when he was not angered. He could speak in the calmest tone and would still exude the greatest sense of oppression.It was possible that Kyran seldom lost his temper previously, which was why she only realized the similarity between Kyran and Brendan now. It was always there, but it was well hidden.“I…” Deirdre took a deep breath and suppressed all the emotions she felt. Then, she raised her head and said to Tobey, “You’ve misunderstood, Tobey.“I know you fancy me, and that is why you have the idea to take me with you, but Kyran and I have already decided to migrate to Germia and settle down there. I don’t know why you’d misunderstand, but we’re only as close as siblings and nothing else.”Tobey widened his eyes in surprise. “Deirdre! What are you talking about? Don’t you know that he—”“Tobey!” Deirdre interrupt
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 735 I Might Be Pregnant
“Why would I do that?” Deirdre forced a smile and said, “I was feeling troubled about how to deal with Tobey initially. Now that this has happened, I’m glad I got to resolve the issue perfectly.”She explained softly, “He turned around and claimed that he could not go without me even though he was already boarding the plane today. He claimed he wanted to see you so he could take me with him. I urged him not to do that, but he refused to listen to me. If he were to do that over and over again, it would be troubling indeed.”“Yes. He is being really strange today. I thought that he had already made peace, yet he did not. He told me to set you free in a threatening tone when he met me.” Brendan let out a muffled laugh. “I didn’t understand what he meant and why he wanted me to set you free. Aren’t we in love?”He asked in a carefree tone, but Deirdre felt troubled in her heart. What was Brendan’s intention when he said that? Was he trying to sound out her intention?Or had Brendan n
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 736 Do You Not Want Our Baby?
Deirdre was hesitant. “I’m not too sure if it’s true. I’ll still need to get myself checked.”She did not lie about her irregular menstrual cycle recently.However, she was well aware that she was not pregnant because she was already diagnosed with infertility. Her irregular menstrual cycle was a result of her being under pressure because of the events she had recently experienced. Brendan hugged her tightly, and the joy in his voice could not be concealed when he said, “Really? Really? You’re pregnant, Deirdre! You’re pregnant with my baby!”Deirdre was caught in a daze.She could not tell if the joy in his voice was real.If he really wanted her to get pregnant so eagerly, why did he cause her miscarriage in prison so mercilessly in the past? Why did he have to do it in such an unforgettable way without giving her time to mentally prepare herself?Brendan was so happy that he was slightly frantic. He picked her up and twirled a few rounds while he muttered, “Deirdre… a baby.

He sounded like he was asking but also like he was gauging her reaction. Deirdre held back her tears by force, shook her head, and said, “I’m not… I’m just caught by surprise. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant for the rest of my life because of my weak body.”Brendan smiled and said, “You’re blessed, so we can have the chance to have a child together.”Deirdre feigned a smile.The doctor said, “Miss McKinnon’s health is not too good, so she must exercise caution during her pregnancy. She will need to maintain her emotional stability and rest more. The first trimester is going to be risky.”Brendan nodded strenuously and memorized everything that the doctor told them. He sought the doctor’s help to prescribe some health supplements, held her hand, and walked out of the hospital.While getting into the car, Brendan had not forgotten about Deirdre’s unusual reaction. He refused to believe that Deirdre was just caught by surprise, but he did not attempt to pry for mo

Brendan’s smile did not fade. “We’ll have to wait until the child is born and see what it wants.”“If that is the case, it’s set then. After all, I’m most skilled at babysitting children.”Deirdre received the supplements with a smile and behaved as normally as she could. Declan was far more observant and sensitive than the others, so she would need to perform her best in his presence.“Oh right.” There was no telling if Declan suddenly remembered this or if he intended to as he asked, “I wonder if Glenna is aware of this.”Deirdre was stunned and could sense Brendan’s gaze shifting to her. “That’s right. Is Glenna aware of the news? I haven’t heard you mention Glenna’s name for the past two days.”Declan said jokingly, “You girls are not quarreling, right?”“How can that be possible?” Deirdre continued to say in a very calm manner, “Glenna has been too busy with work recently. I don’t want to call her and disturb her just because I’m pregnant.”“However, she deserves to know

Deirdre stood up in preparation to head upstairs to rest, but Glenna seized the opportunity to say, “I’ll keep you company!”Deirdre did not decline Glenna’s offer and headed to the bedroom with Glenna.Glenna’s expression changed drastically as soon as the door was shut. She said hastily, “Deirdre, what is going on? How are you… pregnant with his child!?”“How can I not?” Deirdre’s expression was calm. “We have never used any contraception, and we were trying to conceive at one point. It is only normal for me to get pregnant.”“Yet, this is Brendan’s child!”“You’re right.” Deirdre smiled. “Or else? Am I supposed to abort the baby? Will Brendan allow that?”Deirdre knew that she had lost all her freedom from the moment she found out that Kyran was Brendan.Glenna’s face was ghastly pale. She had thought about many things on the way there and figured she could never be as calm as Deirdre if she were to be in the same position and pretend nothing had happened.She wanted to help

Glenna tightened her grip on her phone and concealed her emotions by saying, “We hadn’t met each other at the time, and I didn’t know much about you, so I was bolder.”Declan let out a muffled laughter. “You still can be bold now, you know.”Glenna suddenly fell silent while Declan did not seem to notice her change. He asked, “Who was the man with you the other day?”Glenna’s mind went blank for a moment before realizing the situation. “You mean Whelan?”“Hmm, I suppose.”“He’s a colleague.”“Just a colleague?” Declan said in a meaningful tone, “He looks like he is deeply concerned about you. Is he your suitor?”Glenna furrowed her eyebrows and shifted her gaze back to her phone. She pretended as if she did not hear Declan’s remark for a moment and asked, “What?”Declan smiled. “Nothing.”He changed the topic of conversation by talking about Deirdre’s pregnancy. Glenna raised her head at last. Declan could see Glenna’s reaction, so he stayed on the topic of conversation on p

"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.

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.

"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.-

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

"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

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

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
