Resent, Reject, Regret by Aqua Summers

Chapter 219 She Should Be Warming Up to Him by Now

Brendan lost track of time but he noticed that the whole corridor was dark when he walked out of the study after completing his work. The only source of light was the gap between the door and Deirdre’s room.

He opened the door and found Deirdre sitting on the bed in a daze. He furrowed his sharp eyebrows at the sight of Deirdre still fully dressed. “It’s midnight. Why are you still awake and sitting on the bed?”

Deirdre was jolted back to reality. She reached for her clothes and said anxiously, “I was trying to recall what type of clothes my mother likes to see me in. I’m planning on wearing something that she likes when I meet her in the morning but I really can’t remember her preferences.”

She felt rejected as she talked. She forced a smile, and her head was lowered. “I’m not a good daughter.” Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach, as if the scene before his eyes had triggered something in him. He was astonished that Deirdre was about to meet the woman in the blink of an eye.

There was no telling if his lie would be exposed when Deirdre met her mother or if the event would progress smoothly. Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain at the thought of the lie not lasting a long time and his speech became chaotic as well. “Whatever you wear will be fine. Why are you troubling your mind over this? She won’t mind anyway. You’re her daughter, so she would never reject you”

“You’re right…” Deirdre’s gaze became distracted for a moment.
