Resent, Reject, Regret

Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 308

Chapter 308 Is That Him? He’s Here to Take Me!

“Alright.”

Deirdre nodded. Tobey returned after a short while.

“Deirdre.” He sounded unprecedentedly anxious and stern. “I have to return to the company immediately.”

“What happened?”

Tobey heaved a sigh in agitation. “One of the projects I’m handling is suddenly facing some issues, so I’ll need to handle it. Moreover, I must leave immediately because I can’t afford to lose time. I won’t be able to get a bus ticket if it’s late.”

“Ah…” Even though Deirdre did not understand the situation very well, she knew that work was important. You should go quickly. Don’t worry about me. Madame Russell can come and pick me up later.”

Tobey heaved a deep sigh, his eyes still filled with affection. “Dierdre, everything I said to you before you rejected me is valid. I want to be with you to protect and treasure you. I’m doing it not only because of my mother and Madam McKinnon but it’s more so for myself. You can give it proper consideration while I’m away. I’ll be back in a few days. By then, I hope that you can give me an answer.”

Deirdre’s mind was turning sluggish. Tobey leaned over to kiss Deirdre’s forehead before he left unwillingly.

He walked with swift footsteps that sounded like he was in a rush.

Deirdre was not disgusted by the remnant warmth on her forehead, but she was caught in a daze.

‘Is a person like me worthy of being protected and treasured? Will I be able to live a normal life?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

She felt her heart wrench in pain at the thought of Brendan.

Brendan had hurt her so much that she did not have the courage to get into a new relationship. However, she realized that she did not hate the idea of dating Tobey. It was possible that she was given a chance to break free from Brendan, so she could have a fresh start.

As she was thinking to herself, someone sat down next to her.

Deirdre was jolted back to reality. ‘Tobey? No… It can’t be. Tobey left in a rush earlier. If it really were him, he wouldn’t be so quiet. Moreover, the person has an unfamiliar smell.”

She felt uneasy for no apparent reason and couldn’t bear to listen to the musical performance anymore. She got up in preparation to leave before Madame Russell’s arrival.

She tripped on something unknown after taking two steps, lost her balance, and fell toward the floor. She was under the assumption that it would be painful, but someone’s arms caught her.

Deirdre opened her eyes but could not see anything. She could feel that she was saved by the person next to her, and it was a man.

“Thank…. Thank you…”

She was in an intimate position because she was almost wrapped in the man

arms. She struggled in an attempt to stand upright, but the man’s grip on her arm was so strong that Deirdre was in pain.

“Sir? Please let go of me.” Deirdre could not help panicking and struggling with all her might.

The man acted as if he was oblivious, and he was strenuously wiping her forehead with his sleeve. The rough edge of his sleeve rubbed on Deirdre’s skin, and it was painful.

Deirdre felt suffocated and fear-stricken by his forceful action. All of a sudden, she felt a familiar feeling that sent shivers down her entire body and turned her face ghastly pale.

‘Brendan? Is that him? He’s here to take me!’

She widened her eyes and gave the man a slap with the back of her hand. The man was caught off guard, and his grip loosened.

On the other hand, Deirdre backed away continuously before her knees buckled, and she tumbled to the floor. Her face was pale, and she looked like she was terrified.

“Kyran.” Meanwhile, a man’s voice was heard from afar, followed by approaching footsteps. “Aren’t you supposed to be backstage? Why are you here?”

The voice sounded familiar to Deirdre. She immediately remembered that it was the voice of the young developer who had come to see Madame Russell previously, and his name was Declan King.
