Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Something Is Missing

Brendan’s eyes were narrowed, and he wore a very dangerous expression. ‘She is already starting to keep her own secret after leaving her in the villa for just a few days.’

“Deirdre, I’m going to count to three. Don’t evoke my anger.”

She bit her lower lip tightly.

“Three, two…”

“It’s Bliss.”

“Bliss?”

Deirdre had only come to realize that she had called out the puppy’s name. She opened up the box, completely terrified, and revealed the furry, whiny puppy head inside. The puppy moved toward Deirdre to sniff at her.

“This is it.”

Brendan backed away in disgust. He was allergic to dogs. “Why did you bring this here? Get rid of it immediately.”

Deirdre bit her lower lip and did not attempt to refute. Instead, she wrapped her arms around the box to protect it.

Brendan sneered. “What are you doing, Deirdre? Do you regard this as your home? You’re just a dog to me, yet you’re still trying to keep a pet?”

The remark was so harsh that Deirdre’s eyes reddened with tears as she attempted to explain, “It’s a young puppy, and its mother is dead. It is still very young and going to die without someone caring for it… I’m just going to keep it until it’s a little older, then I’ll send it away. Is that alright?”

Brendan was not planning on letting Deirdre keep the dog, but his expression changed drastically when he heard Deirdre mention that its mother was dead. He could not bring himself to voice his disapproval all of a sudden.

The puppy opened its eyes and rubbed itself against Deirdre’s arm. It reminded him of Deirdre. ‘Isn’t the puppy the same as her? Both Deirdre and the puppy have nothing and live pitiful lives.

‘It’s only that Deirdre is not smart enough. If she were to depend on me and behave herself like the puppy, she wouldn’t have ended up where she is now.’

He did not comment further.

Sam showed up coincidentally and saw Brendan’s car parked in the courtyard. He felt rather embarrassed with the items he was carrying in his arms.

“Mr. Brighthall.”

Brendan nodded and headed upstairs by himself. No one had expected the outcome

of this situation.

His behavior signified his acceptance of the puppy. Deirdre teared up in joy and sniffed as she fed milk to the puppy with Sam’s company. She waited until the puppy dozed off after being fed full of milk before she headed upstairs.

She headed to the bedroom and felt the overbearing presence in the surroundings.

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows lethargically and removed his tie. “Take a shower and clean yourself properly before you come out. Don’t blame me for taking it upon myself to wash you if I smell even a tinge of dog stench on you.”

It was very obvious what would happen next. Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly and thought, ‘Isn’t it enough for you that you have Charlene?’

Unfortunately, she could not bring herself to say it.

It was because Brendan would be infuriated for sure, and she wanted to prevent Bliss from being abandoned.

In the end, she got into the bathroom and took a shower. She was tossed into the bed for an amorous congress when she got out of the shower. In the midst of the act, Brendan asked, “Are you having your period?”

Deirdre shut her eyes as he mocked her crude lie.

When it ended, Deirdre’s head was spinning, but she still reached for the pill in the

drawer.

Brendan watched as she consumed the pill and wrapped his arm around her. He was well aware of how the malicious woman was skilled in putting on an act but felt comfortable for reasons that he could not explain when he smelled the faint scent of her body.

Before they slept, he whispered into her ear, “Deirdre, my patience has always been very limited. This is the last chance you get. If you still don’t behave yourself, be warned that you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Upon saying that, he fell asleep and breathed evenly.

Deirdre had her eyes opened, her heart filled with boundless coldness.

Brendan was awakened instinctively while Deirdre was still asleep in his arms. She was tiny and was sleeping soundly without twitching.

Before heading downstairs, he covered her with a blanket and put on his suit. He walked past the yard and halted to a stop abruptly. He saw the barren ground on the right side that looked as if something was missing.
