Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 273


    Chapter 273 Do You Remember That I Was Turned Into a Scapegoat


    Maeve lowered her head to check the time and furrowed her eyebrows. “It’s after


    nine…”


    “You’re going to leave at ten, right?”


    It would certainly be impossible for Maeve to im that she was willing to part with Deirdre. She was


    very fond of Deirdre yet she was still not Deirdre’s real mother, and her own daughter was still waiting


    for her.


    “Hmm,” Maeve said smilingly, feigning a rxed demeanor. “But it’s a good thing that I’m going to


    receive treatment. That way, I won’t forget your childhood stories next time.”


    Deirdre cracked a smile and dyed giving a response. Then, she shut her eyes and said, “Mother, will


    you… please call me by my name again?”


    Maeve appeared to be slightly hesitant. “Deirdre?”


    A tear rolled down from the corner of Deirdre’s eye. “Thank you.”


    Maeve stretched out her hand to wipe away Deirdre’s tears.


    In the end, Maeve left.


    Deirdre did not see her off because she did not have the ability to be there.


    She assumed that it was only a simple farewell until she found out the truth. She would tear up and


    look forward to their next meeting.


    On the other hand, she realized something now.


    It was not a farewell, but they would never meet again.


    She leaned on the window in a daze and her face turned numb from the cold wind.


    She had already lost track of the time when the door suddenly opened up. Brendan walked into the


    room and found Deirdre sitting next to the window by herself. He removed his jacket in displeasure.


    “You’re still freezing in the cold wind even though you’re sick. Aren’t you cold?” Brendan covered her


    with the jacket, which was still warm from his body. Then, he closed the window.


    Deirdre was still looking in the direction of the window, although she could not see anything.


    Brendan checked his watch and furrowed his eyebrows tightly. “Why didn’t you see


    Ophelia off when her flight took off at ten?”


    He had assumed that she would not be in the room before he came.


    Deirdre made her way to the bedside table indifferently and felt around, looking for the apple in the


    basket. Then, she peeled the apple with a knife cautiously and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m scared of


    farewells. I felt like I would most certainly cry if I were to see her off. She will be back again anyway, so


    I will just wait for her return.”


    Brendan agreed that Deirdre was making sense. He had assumed that Deirdre would be dejected for a


    while and he had not expected that she would ept this farewell so calmly, so he felt slightly


    displeased in his heart. He had thought that this farewell would be a reason for her to depend on


    him.


    “Let me show you something.”


    Brendan picked up the package he had brought with him and held Deirdre’s hand before he ced the


    box gently on it. “Open it.”


    His dark eyes were filled with anticipation, and he wanted to see Deirdre’s surprised reaction after she


    unboxed the item.


    Deirdre put down the knife and held the package. The very moment her hand

    touched the object inside the box, her movements halted to a stop and her entire body tensed up.


    She could feel with her hands that the wooden music book had been restored to its original state.


    “How is it?” Brendan stared closely at Deirdre’s face, his thin lips curled up into a smirk as if he was


    showing off. “I promised you that I would restore it in three days. and return it to you.”


    Deirdre pulled out the music book and discovered that the crack in the middle had already been


    repaired. It felt as if… it had never been broken before.


    She kept her gaze lowered. Brendan discovered that something was off and said. with a solemn


    expression, “What’s going on? Aren’t you happy?”


    Deirdre ced down the music book and continued to peel the apple. Her eyes were unfocused and


    still as calm water. She continued moving her hands like a machine. until she was done and then said,


    “Brendan, do you rememberpelling me to be Charlene’s scapegoat a year ago?”


    Brendan’s face turned green from anger when Deirdre suddenly brought up bing scapegoat for


    Charlene a year ago. He asked with a frown, “Why are your bringing this up all of a sudden?”
