Resent, Reject, Regret

Chapter 734

Chapter 734 We’re Just Good Friends

Brendan sounded and behaved as if he was asking about the weather today. Deirdre felt a sense of intense fear.

Brendan could stir fear with his imposing behavior, even when he was not angered.

He could speak in the calmest tone and would still exude the greatest sense of oppression.

It was possible that Kyran seldom lost his temper previously, which was why she only realized the similarity between Kyran and Brendan now. It was always there, but it was well hidden.

“I…” Deirdre took a deep breath and suppressed all the emotions she felt. Then, she raised her head and said to Tobey, “You’ve misunderstood, Tobey.

“I know you fancy me, and that is why you have the idea to take me with you, but

Kyran and I have already decided to migrate to Germia and settle down there. I don’t know why you’d misunderstand, but we’re only as close as siblings and nothing else.”

Tobey widened his eyes in surprise. “Deirdre! What are you talking about? Don’t you know that he-”

‘Tobey!” Deirdre interrupted him loudly, albeit she was already on the brink of an emotional breakdown at this very moment. “Why are you doing this? You are well aware of my relationship with Kyran, yet you suddenly barge in here rashly and insist on taking me with you. Have you thought about how I feel about this? If you insist on being like this, we shall not be friends anymore from now on.”

Tobey was stunned. He looked at Deirdre’s reddened eyes and was at a loss for words.

A moment later, he said, “I’m sorry, Deirdre. I just can’t bear to see you being with him, and that is why… Blame it on my selfishness. I’m sorry.”

Deirdre felt as if she would have shed tears by now had she not been numbed by all the pain she felt.

Why would she blame Tobey? Everything he did was out of consideration for her-he was worried about her safety. She should be the one apologizing to him.

Still, she could only say with an indifferent expression, “You should leave. I believe that there is still a flight to Eastgene now.”

Tobey looked at Deirdre deeply. “Alright.”

He walked out of the house with his fists tightly clenched.

“Hold on.”

All of a sudden, Brendan spoke casually from inside the house. He said calmly, “Even though I’m a good-tempered person, I am still a man and don’t enjoy being provoked by others. I will consider that you haven’t come here today if you just acknowledge that you won’t have the selfish idea of owning Deirdre from now on.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Who do you think you are!?” Tobey glared at Brendan in rage. “You can meddle with everything else, but you wish to meddle with who I have feelings for?”

Brendan smiled. “Deirdre is mine. I have to meddle when you have feelings for her.”

Upon saying that, his gaze turned cold, as if something was brewing in him. “Or are you only relenting for the time being and planning to persuade Deirdre to leave me in secret when I’m not around?”

“You-”

Deirdre scratched her head and said, “Tobey, you will need to clarify the situation properly, indeed. I don’t want there to be a misunderstanding between us anymore. I don’t want us to be anything more than good friends.”

“Deirdre?”

Deirdre did not raise her head, and her eyes were lowered. Tobey said with a bitter smile, “Do you have to deliver a crushing blow to me in his presence?”

Deirdre was numb from the pain.

Brendan took a step forward and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. He smiled nonchalantly and said, “Or else?”

“Alright…” Tobey said, “I will only regard you as a good friend as dear as a sister to me from today onward. In fact… we won’t keep in touch with each other anymore for the rest of our lives!”

Upon saying that, he lifted his luggage that had lost a wheel and walked out with strides quickly without stopping for a moment.

Brendan gazed after Tobey’s departing silhouette and felt the pent-up anger fading slightly. He lowered his head, looked at the woman next to him, and said softly,

“You’re not going to blame me for treating him with such a poor attitude, right?”
