Brendan’s gaze dimmed when he remembered his past actions.“I was too foolish in the past, and I won’t do it again from now on.”Deirdre appeared to be caught in a daze for a moment. Brendan spoke in such a serious tone she had almost mistaken him for someone else.He would actually acknowledge his past foolishness. ‘Doesn’t Brendan always act like he’s high above others and no one can compare to him? Is he pocketing his pride willingly to appease me because of the child?’Deirdre was in disbelief.Brendan held her hand tightly in his palm. “I know it will be very hard for you to trust me within a short period, but I’m telling the truth. Charlene and I only bumped into each other at the entrance, and we didn’t even enter the family mansion together. After all, it would have been inappropriate for her to be there when I discussed today’s topic of conversation with my mother.”‘Topic of conversation?’Deirdre looked up.Brendan knew that her interest would be piqued. He looked at

“You’re finally here, Miss McKinnon! It’s very windy today, so Madame Brighthall can’t come. As such, she sent us in place to welcome you.”As soon as the servant finished the sentence, the person next to her elbowed her and said, “Miss McKinnon?”“Ah, alright.” The servant was enlightened and said smilingly, “Welcome home, Mrs. Brighthall.”Deirdre appeared to be caught in a daze. Her breathing quickened when she heard the term of address, and she had no idea how she felt about that. It was possible she did not expect the servants in the family mansion would still address her as they did in the past after so many years.There was a praiseful look in Brendan’s dark eyes. He wrapped his arm around Deirdre’s shoulder and said, “It’s very windy today. We should go inside.”Deirdre nodded and was led into the backyard. Before she reached the living room, she heard the servant in the house saying, “Don’t worry, madame. Mr. Brighthall is with Mrs. Brighthall, and they’re coming soon. Ju
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 841 A Visitor Should Be Treated With Courtesy
‘Everyone is here. Even the one who shouldn’t come is here…’There was a profound meaning behind her remark: ‘Who should be here and who shouldn’t?’Brendan’s expression turned solemn. He was about to speak when Charlene said smilingly, “Look at all of you. I’m saying that I shouldn’t have come today. I didn’t know, and it is such a coincidence. However, since I’m already here, we should have a meal together, right?”Charlene behaved shamelessly as if she was oblivious to the fact that no one in the house welcomed her presence. Meanwhile, Madame Brighthall walked out in a haste with the chicken soup she had made. “Deirdre, this is the soup I had when I was pregnant with Brendan. My body was weak at the time, so I drank this every day—”Her voice stopped abruptly. Madame Brighthall’s expression changed drastically upon seeing Charlene at the door. Charlene moved closer with a gentle expression. “Madame Brighthall, look at you. Why are you carrying something so heavy when your
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 842 Two-Timer
Deirdre’s words also had a hidden meaning, and Charlene’s expression changed.Meanwhile, Madame Brighthall could not refrain from speaking after noticing Brendan’s lack of action.“Charlene, thank you so much for getting the prescription. How much money did you spend? I’ll get the butler to wire the money to your account. We shall not keep you for the gathering today any longer.”She was keeping her distance from Charlene through her remark. Charlene clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh and loathed the woman on the sofa deep into her bones. She smiled and said, “Alright then, I understand that I’m not welcome here, so I won’t stay any longer. I’ll leave after I finish the soup.”She savored the taste of the soup slowly as if she was attempting to stay longer on purpose. The servants went ahead with their chores while Madame Brighthall seized the opportunity to speak in private with Brendan. Her meticulously-cared face was filled with confusion and anger
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 843 Everything She Said Is Fake
Meanwhile, Madame Brighthall and Brendan returned from their conversation in private.Charlene was not planning to stay longer since her goal had been achieved. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, “Since I came at the wrong time, I shall make a move first. I’ll come and visit you again another day, Madame Brighthall.”Madame Brighthall nodded uneasily. Charlene walked away for two steps before she turned around and stared at Brendan with gentle eyes. “I’ll wait for you, Brendan.”Brendan stared at Charlene without any expression on his face. Charlene smiled and left. The house’s atmosphere turned awkward all at once. It was Madame Brighthall who broke the silence first. “How do you find the soup, Deirdre? It has been a few years since I cooked personally, so I don’t know if my cooking skill has deteriorated.”Deirdre restrained the emotions in her eyes.“The soup you cook tastes scrumptious. I enjoy it very much, Madame Brighthall.”She felt alienated by Deir
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 844 If I Can Destroy Deirdre
“However, I’m extremely disgusted that you are with me but still get yourself involved with Charlene at the same time.”Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows. It was apparent that she was still thinking about the scene of Charlene in the family mansion earlier.“I won’t.” Brendan immediately stated his true intention clearly. There was only sincerity left on his flawlessly handsome face. “From the moment I decided to become Kyran, I had already made up my mind to only love you in my heart and no one else.”Deirdre wanted to ask, “If that is the case, why are you still deeply involved with Charlene now?” Yet, she could not bring herself to speak. She knew that Brendan was incapable of answering that question for sure. At the thought of Charlene’s meaningful remark before she left, Deirdre asked, “Are you hiding something from me, Brendan?”Brendan’s eyes turned solemn. He thought about the injury on his shoulder and also…He tucked a strand of Deirdre’s hair behind her ear and answered

”How was I supposed to stay asleep after the racket you made? Besides, what are you making? Because something is definitely burning.”“Nothing.” Brendan wore a self-conscious expression, not unlike a thief. In fact, he quickly put the blame on Mrs. Engel. “It was Mrs. Engel! She forgot to turn off the stove before she left, and I smelled it burn. It’s basically coal now.”Deirdre was skeptical. Mrs. Engel would never do something so careless. “Oh, really? Or were you trying to play chef again?”Brendan knew his lie was coming apart in real-time, so he just told the truth. “Fine. I asked my mom for the recipe for the chicken soup she made for you yesterday because you seem to like it. I thought maybe I should make one for you every day. But… I didn’t expect cooking to be so hard.”Deirdre was stunned. Amusement crept into her face. “Why are you so obsessed with something you’re not cut out to do?”Brendan looked down, his eyes transfixed on her slightly plump lips. “It’s not an obs

“Oh, he’s right, Miss McKinnon! I just remembered that I have a lot of work cut out for me. I guess I can only try your cooking some other time.”With that, Sam left. Brendan turned to Deirdre’s deadpanned stare and said placidly, “He knows he’s too busy to quietly and slowly enjoy these simple things in life. I’ll have to do.”Of course, Deirdre knew Brendan had threatened Sam into leaving. “It’s a big pot of soup, for crying out loud. Can you finish it by yourself?”“I can,” Brendan replied under his breath. “If you’re the one who made it, then I’ll drink it all.”Deirdre thought Brendan was exaggerating, but it turned out he made do with his promise, after all. It even shocked Mrs. Engel by the time she returned to the mansion. Brendan was not known for his appetite, which had only grown smaller after his injuries. Deirdre drank about half of her own portion and believed that there was nothing especially delicious about her soup, anyway.Brendan pulled her into his arms when

"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.

"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

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
