Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 321


    Chapter 321 The Damsel in Distress


    A viger thought he was familiar with Deirdre and impolitely stuffed a ss of beer into her hand.


    “Come on! Let’s make a toast. If mountain tourism booms, and we build some kind of resort, our Vige


    Alnwick will be famous! With this, we shall celebrate!”


    Deirdre was put in an awkward situation because she couldn’t drink.


    Because Eilis wasn’t around, Deirdre hesitated. It took her a while before she finally decided to ask,


    “I’m sorry. I can’t drink. Can I rece the beer with tea instead?”


    “Rece the beer with tea?” The man grimaced as he insisted, “How can you not know how to drink


    when you’ve been out of the vige for so long? Are you trying to despise me for refusing the drink I


    offer?”


    “No, I don’t mean it!”


    “Drink if you don’t mean it!” demanded Archie. “What are you afraid of? It’s just half a ss of beer.


    Moreover, no one would molest you if you were drunk.” Archie scoffed.


    Archie ended up bursting out into such boisterous and contagiousughter that the other vigers


    followed suit, ignoring Deirdre’s problem.


    Archie couldn’t stopughing until he sensed the frigid gaze of a man beside him, who was known as


    Kyran.


    Archie’s expression turned stiff as he could clearly sense Kyran’s hostility. He simply interpreted the


    hostility as the result of him neglecting Kyran and said with an apologetic smile, “Mr. Reed, Mr. King,


    the Vige Alnwick wees both of your presence. Cheers!”Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Mr. Reed didn’t do anything even after Archie finished his ss.


    Archie felt rather awkward and asked tentatively, “Mr. Reed?”


    “He cannot speak,” replied Deirdre on Kyran’s behalf.


    “Cannot?” Archie rolled his eyes upon realizing that Kyran was mute. He jeered, thinking that both


    Kyran and Deirdre were a perfect match as they were mute and deaf, respectively.


    “In that case, Deirdre, let’s drink together! Since we’re from the same vige, you mustn’t despise me


    just because you used to live in the city!” Archie poured himself a ss of beer, clinked Deirdre’s ss,


    and said, “Cheers!”


    Archie chugged his ss of beer. Meanwhile, Deirdre clutched the ss tightly. Thinking of not spoiling


    the fun, she forcefully held the ss toward her mouth.


    In the next moment, someone else snatched the ss in Deirdre’s hand away.


    Deirdre was stupefied. It was only when she heard the crowd cheering she learned that Kyran drank it


    on her behalf.


    “Mr. Reed, you look so indifferent that I never expected that you’d drink on Deirdre’s behalf. For you to


    be the knight of this damsel in distress, does it mean that you’re into her?” Archie and the other


    vigers. jeered.


    “If you want to marry Deirdre, it won’t be that easy. You can’t simply take her away just because you’re


    handsome. After all, Deirdre used to be a very beautifuldy in our vige.”


    Deirdre was ignoring their jeers. Only that phrase ‘to be a knight of damsel in distress’ stupefied her.


    When she recollected herself, she said gently, “Oh, Archie, stop pulling Mr. Reed’s leg. He’s just good


    at taking care of people. If taking care of someone is equivalent to liking someone, does it mean you do


    like


    Hayley because you’ve been helping her a lot?”


    Deirdre was half-joking, but Archie felt guilty.


    Archie was indeed into Hayley, but thetter had be his buddy’s wife. The sense of guilt


    dissipated half of his desire to drink. He could only force a fakeugh as a response to Deirdre’s


    question.


    When it was time for the dishes to be served, Eilis returned with a handful of candies, which she stuffed


    into Deirdre’s hand.


    “These candies taste good. I got them from the waiter. Have a try.”


    Deirdre knew Eilis loved candies more than herself. Hence, she wrapped them in a napkin, thinking of


    giving them back to Eilis when they got home.


    When the waiters served dish after dish, Eilis would ask Deirdre for her preferences and take them


    onto her te ordingly, just because Deirdre was blind.


    Eilis took a nce at thetest dish served and asked, “Deirdre, would you like to have some


    pastries?” Deirdre nodded. Eilis took one and put it on Deirdre’s te.
