Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 319
Chapter 319 I Really Miss You
No, it was not because she had thepassion of the Virgin Mary. Nope, it was definitely not because
her heart bled for the pitiful and destitute. She only agreed to join the party as a form of thanks.
Yeap, definitely as a form of thanks for those two times Kyran helped her.
Deirdre had received Tobey’s call by the time she got out of the vehicle. Standing by the roadside, she
could not help but note the fatigue in Tobey’s voice, no matter how gentle he was. “Going to a dinner
tonight with my mom, Dee?”
Deirdre was not surprised that he knew. Madame Russell must have told him. “Yeah.”
“Okay. Be careful, please. Don’t drink. If I recall correctly, you aren’t exactly a drinker. Just tell them
you’re allergic to alcohol, and they will definitely leave you alone in fear.” Tobey quipped. “Go home as
soon as it’s over, please.”
“I know, Toby. I know.” She chirped. His voice was reassuring-the way a kind-hearted big brother’s was
Don’t worry. I’ll make sure your mom won’t drink too much herself.”
“Heh, thanks,” he replied quietly. Then, quite suddenly, his tone took a slightly fric turn. “I miss you
so much, Dee. I wish I could just abandon my work ande home to see you!”
Deirdre was stunned. Before she could answer him, however, she felt a strong grip mping around
her wrist. The force was so great her mind immediately conjured Brendan’s image.
Her voice was trembling when she called out, “W-Who is this?”
Tobey caught onto her panic. “What’s wrong?”
Eilis was caught in a conversation with the vige chief at a distance, but she managed to notice.
Deirdre’s predicament just in time. rmed, she strode toward her and raised her voice. “Mr. Reed,
Dee
Dee! What’s the matter?”
‘Kyran?”
Oddly enough, the reveal soothed Deirdre. “No, it’s nothing. Toby. Just a friend I’ve just made. He’s a
friend of the developer, too, and he’s probably here to greet us,” she said to Tobey. “Anyway, gotta go.
Bye.”

As the call died, Deirdre exhaled a sigh of relief. She honestly did not know how to react to what Tobey
had said.
Kyran watched her hang up the phone, and his expression was unreadable. He reached out to her
palm, his finger ready to write when Ellis snatched her hand away from his grip and shielded Deirdre
behind her back.
“Uh-her, Mr. Reed? Please don’t get too handsy with my Dee Dee here. It’s not a good look for her,
okay?”
Kyran frowned. Something in his eyes seemed to darken.
Deirdre realized it was a misunderstanding, so she wrapped her arm around Eilis’ and tried to exin, ”
Oh, Madame Russell, he wasn’t being disrespectful. I think Mr. Reed wanted to talk to me, but he can
onlymunicate by writing on my hand.”
“Oh, is that all?” Eilis replied, a little rxed now. Then, she frowned again. “But honey, even though
that was his intention, it was still plenty inappropriate! People are watching, you know. The vigers are
gonna talk. You know what they’ll gossip about.”
Eills was not wrong at all. Most of the vigers were unabashedly conservative enough that they would
start spreading nasty gossip over even harmless things.
Stuck, Deirdre could only sh Kyran an apologetic smile. She could not tell just what sort of
expression. the young man might be wearing.
Luckily for them, Den-the extroverted social master-came to their rescue. He was as affable and
chirper as always. “Mrs. Russell! Miss McKinnon! Perfect timing! We’ve been waiting for you inside.
Your seats have already been decided for you, too. Come on. I’ll show you!”
Eilis was taken aback by how opulent the entire hotel looked from the inside. It was as though the
entire building was gilded or draped in gold. “Mr. King, h-how much money does this whole dinner
cost? Gosh!”
“Meh. About 2,000 dors for a full-course meal, I think? Honestly, it’s worth it if it means we can all
have a great time tonight. Come on. Your table’s up the steps.”
The group began to climb. Eilis held Deirdre close to her, their attention heightened by the potential
hazard
