Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 974 Is This A Part of Your Plan Too?
“Sure thing.” Even after the maid held Madame Brighthall by her hand and led her away, Deirdre remained by the door to the child’s room and continued to look inside, regardless of the fact that she saw nothing. “Brendan, what does it look like?”He entered the room and stood next to her. It was a small room, but it had everything—toys of all shapes and sizes and a cot leaped into one’s field of vision. Madame Brighthall’s care was evident. She was worried that her granddaughter might not like pink as much as she had hoped, so she tried to balance it with other colors. “Do you want to know?”She nodded. Brendan took her hand. “I’ll let you feel it.”He held her fingertips, letting them outstretched to the baby mobile hanging above their head. “This is a mobile of the night sky. The moon, the stars, and the planets.”“This is the wallpaper. Pink and blue stripes. Cartoon pictures dot them, and every single one of them has my mom’s writing embroidered on it.“This is the cot. M
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 975 Family Heirloom
For the first time, Deirdre realized Brendan was in more pain than she was enduring. Her mother was at least coming back to her.But he was losing his.He had to pretend that that day was not coming. He had to watch his mother put all of this effort into decorating the room and yet never live to see it used.Deirdre clenched her hands. “Does she know?”“I didn’t tell her, but I suspect she’s aware of her own mortality. It’s her own health, after all. Which is why she spent so much time and effort in this room. It would be fine if she never got to see her granddaughter… if that same child could still feel her love anyway.”Deirdre’s face was stricken with tears. A moment later, she whispered, “I’m sorry, Brendan. You must be in so much more pain than I am.”And she had misunderstood him. She thought he was trying to ensnare her.Brendan said nothing and simply ruffled her hair. “The Brighthall retinue knows all about it, and I think mom does, too. She just chose not to make it ex
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 976 Sharing A Couch
Madame Brighthall broke out a smile. “Now that’s more like it! You’re one of our family, Dee. I will not have you treat this as something that doesn’t belong to you. Besides, it’s not like I can wear it with me when I finally go to see the Maker, can I? It’s less of a waste when it’s with you!”As she spoke, a strong fit seized her again. She breathed hard as though she was asphyxiated. Brendan frowned as the maids came to her aid immediately and led her to her room. Deirdre caressed the bracelet lovingly, but after mulling it over, she took it off. “I still don’t think I can accept this, Brendan. You should hold onto it. Then maybe, one day, you can pass it to someone you love.”Passing it to someone he loved one day?But she was already there! Right in front of him!His eyes darkened. When the last of any ray of joy finally died, he replied flatly, “No. My mom gave it to you, so it’s yours, period. She adoring you has nothing to do with me. She would have given you the bracelet
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 977 No Intimacy Between Men and Women
Following that, Brendan asked, “Deirdre, are you cold?”“Yes, I’m very cold…”“Should I hug you to sleep?”“Um…”“But we aren't a couple. It’s inappropriate for me to get on the bed with you, right?”“...”“Should I carry you to the couch?”“Okay.”The recording ended, and Deirdre was shocked. But then she quickly realized something. “This was a trap! It must be you inducing me when I was not in my right mind. That was why I agreed! Otherwise, how could I have gone to the couch with you?”“Induced” Brendan rebutted with righteous indignation, “It was you who agreed to come to the couch yourself. Moreover, you were the one who kept telling me that you were cold. Hence, how could I ignore you just like that?”Deirdre was at a loss for words and was searching for a comeback.Deirdre found a rebuttal. “Even so, it’s because you induced me first. If you had asked me for my account password at that time, I would have given it to you.” Brendan didn’t refute it but played another
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 978 The Wharf
As Deirdre got into the car, the heater was blasting warmth, making the ride a cozy one.Just as Brendan was about to drive off, his phone started to ring.He pressed the speaker button and heard Sam’s voice on the other end. “Mr. Brighthall, we just received word that the exchange is happening today. They’re afraid the weather will get worse tomorrow and the sea may be unsafe.”It sounded like an excuse, but Brendan didn’t pay it much attention.In fact, it was a good thing for him to be able to do the exchange earlier. Hence, Brendan replied that he would head over immediately and hung up the phone.“What’s going on?” asked Deirdre.“Your mother is coming from the sea today. But because the wharf is a windy place, especially on such a cold day, I’ll take you back first. After securing your mother, I’ll send her immediately back to the mansion.”Deirdre was surprised yet happy. She put her hand on Brendan’s arm but couldn’t hide her trembling.“No, I don’t want to… I can’t sta
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 979 Saving Ophelia
Brendan patiently waited. The window of the building was tightly sealed, making it nearly impossible to shoot accurately, especially in the foggy weather.Besides, with so many targets at the wharf, the opponent would have to be reckless to attempt to shoot with the risk of Connor being killed.After contemplating his next move, Brendan didn’t mind following the opponent’s lead, but he was also waiting for Sam to make his way through.Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Mr. Brighthall! Is that a boat?”Brendan looked toward the pointed direction with the binoculars and saw a ferry slowly making its way out of the fog. A woman stood at the bow, and as Brendan focused, he recognized her face. It was Ophelia.He scanned the area around the ferry and saw only two people smoking while talking to each other. They didn’t look like they were with the opponent.Just then, Deirdre couldn’t wait any longer and rolled down the car window. “Brendan, how’s the situation? Has my mother arrived?”Exc
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 980 Jump Into the Sea
But now, Brendan was completely frozen and powerless, with his lips turning blue. He could only float with buoyancy.At the same time, Deirdre had already gotten out of the car.When she saw Brendan jump into the water, she knew that something must have happened to Ophelia. However, because there was no one on the shore, she couldn’t find anyone to help.Deirdre thought Brendan might not endure the cold on such a cold day.The thought of what could happen made her shiver with fear.“Brendan! Brendan! Come back quickly!” Deirdre screamed, but there was no response. She tried to turn around and look for anyone nearby.However, the wharf had already been closed, and there were neither workers nor people around.Suddenly, a man climbed up from the shore.“Brendan! Is that you?”“Mr. Brighthall?” The man, who was a member of the organization, was freezing, and his lips had turned purple. When he heard Deirdre, he immediately searched around. “Where is Mr. Brighthall!?”Deirdre f
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 981 This Is Obviously a Scheme
“Hold me, sir! I came in a boat. You just have to swim forward!”The man turned around and saw that Deirdre was still far away. He roared, “Miss McKinnon! Here!”Deirdre rowed the boat with the paddle upon hearing the voice. The man supported the unconscious Ophelia to reduce Brendan’s burden.The man waited for the boat to come nearer before he crawled into it. Then, he pulled up Ophelia and Brendan with his teeth clenched.Brendan was already exhausted, yet his first response was to perform CPR on Ophelia to help her to spit out the water she choked on.The weather was awful. The people on the boat were trembling, and their teeth were chattering in the cold. Brendan removed his coat to cover Ophelia’s body. When everything ended, he looked toward Deirdre and found her eyes wide open and bloodshot. She was so anxious that she did not dare to breathe loudly. “Why did you come? Aren’t you cold?” Brendan slumped against Deirdre’s body and said, “Good thing you came.”Deirdre
