Chapter 246: Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 247

Chapter 247 I Bet You Want to Run Away, Right ‘Oh, right. Brendan…”

Deirdre’s eyes were filled with disappointment, as she knew that Brendan would never agree to that..

Maeve’s heart melted with pity when she saw how dejected Deirdre was. “Deirdre, isn’t it nice to stay in the villa? Why do you want to get a job so badly?”

“I suppose it’s because I need the slightest sense of recognition and I want to feel needed by the world?” Deirdre said in a self–mocking tone. “Plus, I can’t keep depending on someone else to provide for me. If I perform well at this job, it will signify that I could survive somewhere else from now on. In case… In case you need help, I will be able to fork out money for you without relying on Brendan.”

Maeve was surprised to learn that Deirdre wished to be independent. She found it hard to imagine that a woman who was almost incapable of living independently would think like that.

She realized that Deirdre wanted to rely on herself if she could instead of being content with her current life.

At that very moment, Maeve suddenly understood why an outstanding man like. Brendan would be so deeply in love with Deirdre. It was because some people’s charm went deeper than the surface.

“In that case, I think that you may discuss it with Brendan. I believe that since you two are married, he will consider your wishes as long as you can take care of yourself.”

Deirdre did not feel confident that she could do that at all but she still braced herself.

“I can give it a try.”

She could not let this opportunity slip away.

She stayed in the room at night, and it was already nine o’clock by the time Brendan came home. He went straight to the study as soon as he arrived at the villa.

Deirdre took out the dessert she had prepared and knocked on the door of the study cautiously.

She entered the room when she heard the words ‘come in‘. The very moment Brendan saw Deirdre, his anger diminished substantially.

He had assumed that Deirdre would never yield to him. ‘Perhaps she doesn’t even Chapter 2471 Bet You Want to Run Away Right know that I’m pissed because she’s such a dull, indifferent woman.‘

“What brings you here?” He spoke in a rigid, cold tone as he rifled through the pages of the document on the table. However, he could not focus on a single word he read.

Deirdre was scared out of her wits but she suppressed the urge to walk out of the room repeatedly and made her way to Brendan’s desk.

She served the dessert and said, “I… I’m here to serve the dessert that I baked this evening. It’s not warm anymore but it still smells great.”

The dessert she had baked was the only dessert that Brendan enjoyed, as it was very fragrant, not sickly sick, and so flaky it would melt in one’s mouth.

Just as expected, Brendan did not reject her offer, but he said nonchalantly, “Sure, you can put it there.

I’ll eat it later.”

Deirdre did not move. Brendan shifted his gaze to her nervous face, unable to take his eyes off her.

“What’s going on? Did something happen?”

“I…” Deirdre swallowed a gulp of saliva, having trouble bringing up the topic of conversation. She attempted to do so with great effort repeatedly before she said, “I have something that I wish to discuss with you.”

Brendan shut the folder. “What is it?”

Deirdre clasped her fingers tightly. “I would like to get a job.”

The final tinge of smile in Brendan’s gaze vanished instantly, and he felt like he was suddenly burning with fury.

He had assumed that the woman was there to reconcile with him.

He had been cold to Deirdre for the past two days, not because he was pissed at Deirdre’s lack of concern for him, but to verify that his pursuit strategy over the past weeks had had no effect on Deirdre’s heart.

However, Deirdre’s actions showed him that not only had his effort been fruitless, but Deirdre had grown even more ambitious.

“What kind of job are you going to get as a blind person? I bet you want to run away, right?”

“No!” Deirdre had no idea why Brendan would suddenly take things so far. She bit her lower lip tightly and furrowed her eyebrows. “I would like to get a job so I can make money to survive…”
