Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 233


    Chapter 233 I Want Your Love


    Deirdre’s eyes were filled with uncontroble joy and reddened from holding back her tears. She


    inhaled a deep breath and said, “Thank you, Brendan.”


    She spoke in all apparent seriousness, and there was gratitude in her eyes. However, Brendan was not


    pleased by her gaze. On the contrary, he felt a knot in the pit of his stomach and felt suffocated.


    Deirdre was the only person who was unaware that Ophelia was already dead. He was making up a


    fake world just to delude her.


    He could not afford to ept her gratitude.


    “I told you that I don’t like the words ‘thank you”.” Brendan’s dark eyes turned dim, and he abruptly got


    up from his seat. “I’m sure that both of you have a lot to talk about because you’ve just been reunited


    after so long. I’m going to do some work in the study room. You cane to me if you have anything


    important.”


    He walked upstairs and took a seat in the study room. The desk was stacked with documents, yet he


    could not bear to read even one word.


    He felt an intense conflicting feeling in his heart and didn’t know what to do when he thought about


    Deirdre’s smile and Ophelia’s tragic death.


    Meanwhile, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the study room.


    Brendan looked up to find Deirdre twisting the door knob to enter the study room with a hesitant


    expression.


    “What’s going on?” Brendan leaned against his seat and propped up his head with a hand on his


    temple, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. “Why are you here in my room instead of chatting with your


    mother downstairs?”


    Deirdre bit her lower lip and shut the door after her. She hesitated for some time before mustering the


    courage to say, “Brendan, I have a presumptuous request to ask of you, and I hope that you can grant


    my request.”


    It was apparent that Deirdre had onlye after mentally preparing herself. Brendan’s gaze locked on


    her face as he asked, “What is it?”


    Deirdre kept her head lowered, her fingers clenched into tight fists. “1… I would like my mother to move


    into the vi temporarily. Will that be okay?”


    Then, she said, “You can set your mind at ease. I’m only worried that it will be troublesome for her to


    travel back and forth. I’ll ensure that she stays calm and quiet so she won’t bother you…”


    “Is that all?”


    Deirdre suddenly raised her head while Brendan was leaning against the chair with an ice-cold


    expression. “Who do you think I am? Why do you make it seem so difficult to talk about when you’re


    only requesting for Ophelia to stay in the vi for a while? Am I a monster or something? Or do you


    think I’m going to reject you without the slightest hesitation? What sort of person am I to you!”


    Deirdre didn’t know what to do as his pressing query confronted her. She exined, “No… I was


    only…”


    “Only what? Scared? Scared of being rejected by me, scared of troubling me?”

    Brendan got up from his seat and walked closer to Deirdre, step by step.


    Deirdre could feel Brendan’s overbearing presence, making her back away subconsciously. However,


    she


    realized there was nowhere to retreat when her back pressed against the door. She raised her head


    and felt the man’s burning gaze. She was extremely anxious and trembling with fear.


    All of a sudden, Brendan wrapped his arms tightly around her waist while he leaned his head on her


    shoulder slowly. He heaved a sigh and said, “Deirdre, I’m not as scary as you imagine me to be.”


    There was a look of intense fatigue on his expression because he had not managed to sleep for even a


    moment yesterday night. At the same time, he was feeling mentally exhausted and a deep sense of


    powerlessness overtaking his body.


    Brendan was an overlord of the business industry who could do whatever he wanted in Neve, yet it was


    his first time falling head over heels for Deirdre. He had no idea what to do.


    His voice was hoarse when he said, “Everything I told you is true. I want us to be back like in the past,


    but I don’t want us to be respectfully estranged as we were in the past. I want your love, and I want you


    to fall in love with me once again, just like in the past.”
