Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 314


    Chapter 314 Love at First Sight


    As for the man’s looks….


    The anxiety bubbling within her mind made Madame Russell frown. She had always believed her son


    to be handsome, so much so that he could sitfortably among typical male leads in a romantic


    drama. But this guy?


    He looked like what happened when God decided to show her just how premature her conclusion was.


    Madame Russell quickly took up Deirdre’s hand. “Mr. Reed?”


    The man did not answer.


    Deirdre spoke on his behalf. “He can’t speak, Madame Russell. He’s mute.”


    “Mute?” The older woman parroted. A new hint of pity colored her gaze. She could not help herself-she


    had imagined a man who looked as gorgeous as this young one would speak with a dulcet voice.


    “Yea. He helped me, Madame Russell. Some of the kids in the vige threw rocks into the yard while I


    was walking, and it was Mr. Reed who chased them away. Then he helped me plow.”


    At that moment, Madame Russell turned her attention away from Kyran to the bandage on her


    forehead. Her heart ached. “What the… What happened? Did those brats do this to you?”


    Deirdre could not bear to stress her out, so she fibbed smilingly, “Oh, no. This was an ident on my


    part.”


    Madame Russell was not going to buy a lie as undercooked as this one. “Oh, those punks are gonna


    get it this time! I’m telling the vige head!” she snarled, gritting her teeth. “Trouble-making imps!


    Someone should glue their backsides to the chairs in a school!”


    Deirdre smiled.


    The older woman squeezed her hand and turned back to Kyran with a decorous grin. “Thank you for


    sticking up for my Dee Dee, Mr. Reed!”


    The emphasis on “my” was both intentional and implicative. Madame Russell found it hard to believe


    that a stranger would help Deirdre out of pure-hearted altruism, and since Tobey had gone away, she


    had to make sure her appointed future-daughter-inw did not be someone else’s girlfriend


    overnight.


    Kyran’s eyebrows furrowed despite himself. He thinned his lips.


    Madame Russell began to tug on Deirdre’s hand. Thetter sensed the change in the air as well, but


    she did not resist the older woman. She nodded to Kyran and bid him goodbye. “Thanks for your help,


    Mr. Reed! You can leave the tools on the ground. That will do. Excuse us!”


    Madame Russell’s pace was unnaturally frantic.


    Deirdre found herself struggling to keep up. “S-Slow down a bit, Madame Russell! Why are we going so


    fast? Did you leave something in the oven?”


    “Yep. That’s right. Something in the oven. Right,” she muttered under her breath, distracted. A moment


    later, she regretted being secretive and decided to talk it out.


    “Dee Dee, what are your thoughts on this Mr. Reed?” she asked in a hushed voice.


    Deirdre widened her eyes, nonplussed. “Er, he’s a really nice guy.”


    A very well-mannered, ever-tempered guy, in fact. He was steadfastly gentle even in the face of her


    Overreaction.

    She could not possibly react to someone like that with apathy or cold indifference, could she? Deirdre’s


    heart was not made of stone.


    Madame Russell waved. “That’s not what I meant! I mean, do you like him?”


    “Like him?” Deirdre was taken aback. She inhaled sharply and replied, “We’ve only met each otherst


    night! You’re way ahead of me, Madame Russell.”


    “No, hon. I’m pretty sure I’m not.” She patted the back of Deirdre’s hand. “When you’ve lived as long as


    me, you’ve seen what it’s like when a man falls in love at first sight. It’s especially easy to tell when a


    day has passed, you know?


    “I’m worried that this Mr. Reed is going after your heart, Dee Dee, and that you might say yes to being


    with him. But we don’t know who he really is, right? You should definitely not fall for him just because


    he disys some basic decency to you right now, okay?


    “Judging from his social status, he might as well be from an entirely different than the one we


    live


    in!


    “I don’t want you to get hurt, hon. At least I can tell, without a shadow of a doubt, that my Tobey will


    never mistreat you in any way!”


    Deirdre was stunned. A momentter, sheughed. “Oh God, Madame Russell! You’re overthinking


    this. really!”


    Clearing her throat, she asked, “How does Mr. Reed look?”


    “Well! Tall and handsome. Wouldn’t you know?”
