Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704 I'll Let Him Off The Hook When I’m Satisfied

"Feeling it already?” Brendan smirked, his eyes narrowing at the sight. He bent, looming over her, and gently tipped Deirdre’s chin up at him.

She slapped her hand away as shame rose to take control of her. Everything about it was so embarrassing, yet Brendan was such a professional at kissing that even her rage could not come up with any retaliation.

She asked for it the moment she came to see him. She knew this was going to happen.

She fought her shame at bay and clenched her hands. “Why? Why are you doing this? If Charlene knows... She’s not going to be happy about this!”

The name seemed to have summoned dark clouds into Brendan's gaze. Deadpanned, he replied, "Why? Because that's who we are. That's what all men are. Just because I love her doesn't mean I'm going to save myself for her or something stupid like that. I can always indulge in my old bedmate if I do it behind her back.”

‘His old bedmate... Me...’

Deirdre blanched at the idea. She shot a look of disappointment at Brendan and rose to her feet. "I was never here.”

She smoothed her shirt and started toward the door. Her finger was about to touch the doorknob when Brendan suddenly spoke.

"So, you'd rather let Kyran suffer."

Deirdre froze.

Brendan had an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and it seemed like he was not in a hurry to light it at all. He simply stared in her direction noncommittally.

In truth, Brendan had changed his mind. He needed Deirdre to believe he pressured Kyran into a compromising position and made him come home late. It was the only way to stymie Deirdre’s investigation, which would reveal an even more horrible truth.

"You asked for it," Brendan replied coldly, the way he had designed his persona to be. He lit up a cigarette. "Remove my name from your blacklist and stay in the mansion with your phone by your side at all times. Wait for my message. Come to me whenever I want you."

Deirdre’s eyes were red. “And what happens if I do that? Will you let him go?”

"Only when I'm finally satisfied. Sam? Drive her home."

Deirdre returned to the car in a nigh-catatonic stupor. She was not responding to any of Sam’s calls until finally, after gulping down the lump in her throat, she forced a smile.

"W-Were you talking to me, Sam? What is it?”

"Um, we've arrived.
