All Chapters of Resent, Reject, Regret: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

He had one hand in his pocket, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed. However, he said in a soft voice as he listened to the woman’s complaints, “Your body is frail, and you’re constantly experiencing dizzy spells that you still can’t recover from after seeking treatment for a year. It’s apparent that your body has yet to recover fully. Even though this place is tiny, the doctor who runs it is highly reputable. He will certainly be able to cure you.”“This tiny little clinic?” Charlene was filled with disbelief, but she saw Brendan’s displeased expression out of the corner of her eye. She bit her lower lip to brace herself before assuming a different expression immediately and wrapping her arm around the man’s strong arm. “I’m only worried that this is some swindler and you’re going to waste your money and time on this. Do you know how guilty that makes me feel, especially when you’re such a busy man?”“I won’t.” Brendan’s gaze landed on her arm, and he furrowed his eyebrows in an u

Sterling returned to the clinic and got back to work. Brendan clenched his fists tightly and pried open the fence eagerly to enter the backyard. He then made his way to Deirdre in a rage. Deirdre was enjoying the treat by herself. When she sensed the commotion, she was under the assumption that Sterling was approaching her again. “Why are you back? The cake does taste good indeed, and it’s even better than the one before. Would you like a bite?”She held the cake in her hand, her lips stained with cream. Brendan could not help making blind conjectures and wondering if Deirdre was kindly inviting Sterling to taste her lips. ‘Has their relationship already progressed to that base?’Brendan could not stand watching anymore, so he raised his hand abruptly and slapped the dessert off Deirdre’s hands. Deirdre was stunned by the unexpected violent force that knocked over the dessert and then heard the devil-like voice that came from above her saying, “Deirdre McKinnon, you’re really g

The room was poorly ventilated and humid. It was an attic of the lowest quality without any decent furniture. Deirdre curled up under the blanket, her eyelids batting shakily in a piteous manner. Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain abruptly as he was about to approach her. All of a sudden, Deirdre opened her eyes shakily. The room was pitch black, but she could hear someone coming clearly. She asked in confusion, “Is that you, Sterling?”She spoke in a very gentle tone because she was ill, especially when uttering Sterling’s name. However, it felt like needles to Brendan’s ears. “Sterling? Your tone sounds really promiscuous. It seems that you have a rather close relationship with him, huh.” Brendan clenched his fist tightly and sniggered all of a sudden, his prior sympathy vanishing instantly. Deirdre’s face turned ghastly pale at once, and she clutched her blanket tightly. “Brendan! How did you get into my place?!”“If Sterling can come, why can’t I!” Brendan was infuri

“Don’t move! Do you want the entire back of your hand to swell up?” Brendan furrowed his eyebrows, took a step forward, and clutched her wrist. Deirdre wanted to struggle free, but Brendan immediately said, “Don’t blame me for doing something to you if you insist on moving!”Hearing that, Deidre didn’t dare to move an inch. Her eyes were clouded with fear and bewilderment as she uttered hoarsely, “What the hell do you want from me?” She truly didn’t understand his intentions. She had already lost everything she held dear. ‘What else does he want from me when I have already lost my face, the one that looked similar to Charlene’s?’ thought Deirdre inwardly.Brendan clenched his fists tightly and said in a cold, mocking tone, “Deirdre, you should check your reflection in the mirror. Did you really think that I’d still want to see you? I’m only doing this to find my child. I would like to meet him and introduce him to my family. I promise that I won’t lay eyes on you even once from

Deirdre wanted to hurt him even more. “I found it disgusting! I kept feeling disgusted about being pregnant with your child! I regretted being with you in the past, and if I could turn back time, I’d wish I’d never met you in my life!”Brendan felt as if he had been stabbed in his heart. Soon, he was struck by rage and astonishment. ‘Deirdre adored me deeply, and that is an indisputable truth. ‘However, she is actually claiming that she was disgusted and that she regretted being with me because of Sterling?’“Good, very well! Deirdre, you’re trying to challenge me, right? Do you think that I’m a good-natured person just because I haven’t punished you?”Brendan pinched Deirdre’s chin. “I don’t care if you really mean what you said. I’m going to make you regret saying those words to me!”Brendan left after slamming the door on her. Deirdre held her chest with her hands tightly. She was in so much pain that she felt suffocated, yet she remembered Brendan’s remark before he left.
