Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 186


    Chapter 186 Wish I Could Choke You to Death


    It was all rted to Ophelia.


    Brendan had known how important Ophelia was to Deirdre for a long time.


    Ophelia had been sick because of Deirdre, so she had carried the heavy burden of raising Deirdre by


    herself. She had refused to marry again and taken threeborious jobs to make a living.


    Deirdre had once whispered to him, “Brendan, you’re the second most important person in my life.”


    He had been agitated at the time and he had humored her by asking with a cold face, “Who’s the most


    important person then?”


    “My mother!” Her tiny face had blushed scarlet because she had misunderstood his reaction for


    jealousy. She had exined herself in a panic, “Don’t misunderstand.”


    “What’s there for me to misunderstand?”


    Deirdre had chuckled before falling silent. “She has experienced way too many hardships for me, so I


    would die willingly for her if it meant that she’d get to live to see another day.”


    Deirdre had assumed that she was the happiest girl in the world at the time. She had lived a perfectly


    satisfactory life after marrying him, yet she would still have died just so Ophelia could live one more


    day.


    It was apparent that Ophelia was more important to her than her own happiness.


    Hence, it would be shattering for her to find out about Ophelia’s death.


    Brendan felt suffocated by the weight on his chest. One could describe him as a coward or a vile man,


    but he needed to keep this lie alive regardless.


    However, he could not think of an excuse to keep this up for two weeks.


    Brendan was exhausted from the long trip, in addition to the lingering fear of being on the brink of


    death. Hey down right away and cuddled Deirdre before he shut his eyes and rested.


    He did not expect that he would wake up the next afternoon. Brendan looked at the woman in her arms


    instinctively and found her leaning on his chest, her hair messy. Her face was no longer ghastly pale,


    but her cheeks were stained with a sickly blush. Her breathing was shallow, and she was clutching his


    clothes. restlessly in her sleep.


    Brendan was caught in a daze for a moment upon witnessing the scene.


    He could count the number of asions they had woken up together in the same bed during the past


    two years on his fingers, yet this feeling had actually aroused a sense of familiarity and sentimentality


    in him.


    A momentter, Deirdre opened her eyes in confusion. After sensing the man next to her, she said in


    an anxious tone without thinking twice, “Who’s there?”


    Brendan’s face turned cold instantly.


    He pulled back his arms, flung the nket on Deirdre’s body, and reached for his clothes. He said in a


    cold, mocking tone, “Who else would want to lie on the same bed with you in your current state?”


    Deirdre was stunned for a moment. Brendan put on his jacket and looked at Deirdre’s face with a cold


    gaze. He said through clenched teeth, “Deirdre, do you think you’re capable now? It’s fine that you had


    a death wish, but you actually jumped off the building. Had Sam not grabbed you in time, you would


    have been in a morgue by now and Ophelia would be mourning her daughter’s death!”


    “I’m sorry…” Deirdre’sshes trembled, and she kept her head lowered. “I was too impulsive.”


    “Impulsive?”


    ‘How can she summarize it all in just one word?’ Brendan took a few steps forward and clutched the


    cor of her top. “I wish I could choke you to death now so I could end this once and for all!”


    He was furious, and perhaps this was precisely why he did not put his hand on her throat. He was


    worried he might identally choke her.


    Deirdre realized that she was at fault, so she did not have the courage to talk back. She rubbed the


    fabric. of Brendan’s cor while she kept quiet. Then, she said cautiously, “Don’t deceive me,


    Brendan…”


    “What?” Brendan was stunned for a moment.


    “She is still alive… She has to be…”


    Deirdre muttered to herself. The woman that she was referring to was Ophelia.

    Brendan felt agitated for no apparent reason and pushed away Deirdre’s hand. “I already yed the


    voice clip for you. You can choose whether you believe me or not. You can kill yourself now, and no


    one will stop you. However, I’m telling you that I’ll send everybody else that you care about your way if


    you have the courage to kill yourself!”
