Chapter 234: Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 234

Chapter 234 Unrelated to Him Deirdre knew that Brendan was looking at her from the moment he raised his head.

It was because she could feel his intense gaze. She could still feel his gaze stopping on her face even when all she could see was darkness.

Deirdre lowered her gaze and felt so overwhelmed with emotions in her heart that she could not even hear her own breathing.

Brendan leaned over to kiss Deirdre’s lips.

He took his sweet time and kissed her gently but affectionately as if he was conquering her with all his life’s patience.

“Brendan…” Deirdre pushed him because she was having trouble getting accustomed to this. “Don’t do this…”

“Don’t do what?” Brendan asked her with his deep, dark eyes staring at her, “Don’t stand so close to you, don’t kiss you like this, or don’t say what I said to you earlier?”

Deirdre clutched Brendan’s arms tightly and felt his warm breath blowing on the side of her face. “Tell me, Deirdre. You can tell me anything. I’ll satisfy you and meet your needs.”

At last, Deirdre escaped from the study room in defeat. She walked with quickened steps, her hand holding the wall until she met Maeve at the stairway.

Maeve asked in puzzlement, “Deirdre?”

Deirdre stopped walking abruptly. Maeve approached her and wiped away the sweat on Deirdre’s face with her sleeve. “What’s going on? Why are you in such a rush? Did something happen? You’re walking so quickly when you can’t see, so what’s going to happen if you fall?”

“I’m fine.” Deirdre sniffed and lowered her head.

Maeve came to understand the situation instantly when she noticed the mark on Deirdre’s lips. She stopped inquiring but said smilingly, “I’ve already told you that I’ll be fine staying elsewhere. It’s not that I’m not going to come and visit you. Someone will come and pick me up specially every morning.”

Deirdre answered softly with a frown, “But it’s winter now, and it’s too cold.”

Ophelia hated the winter the most because her knees would hurt, and her body would feel sore during the winter, It was a condition she acquired from doing laundry in the cold river during winter as her job when she was young.

“Oh right.” Deirdre suddenly remembered. “Mother, are your knees fine? Do they still hurt?”

Maeve’s expression remained unchanged. “They don’t hurt as much anymore. I feel better now.” “Great then.”

Deirdre nodded.

Meanwhile, Brendan walked out of the study room.

Upon hearing the sound of the study room’s door opening, Deirdre’s grip on Maeve’s hands tightened for a moment.

Maeve shielded Deirdre behind her. Brendan was not infuriated after noticing her action. On the contrary, he felt that Maeve did a good job with her acting.

It would be very difficult to tell that these two people were not biologically-related in the eyes of outsiders.

“It’s getting late, Aunt Ophelia. The weather is so cold these days so it won’t be convenient for you to travel back and forth to my place. How about you move in here for the time being?” Brendan said.

nonchalantly, his eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly.

He was worried that Maeve would give herself away if she were to stay and interact with Deirdre for a long period. However, he could not bring himself to reject Deirdre after she sought his favor.

Maeve smiled. “If you don’t object to it, Brendan, I would like to stay with Deirdre for a while longer, of course.”

Deirdre held Maeve’s hands tightly, but she was looking in Brendan’s direction.

‘Brendan actually came out to inform me in person…’

“Why are you in a daze? Brendan has already returned to the study room. Do you have such a hard time parting with him?” Maeve teased her.

Deirdre wanted to explain herself, but her ears were burning from blushing. She answered in a haste, “No… I was only distracted because I was thinking about something else unrelated to him.”

Maeve smiled but made no reply. Deirdre wanted to be with Maeve so badly that she would rest and sleep on the same bed with Maeve.
