Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 303

Chapter 303 He Has Feelings for You

“Is that so? That would be amazing!” Madame Russell beamed widely. “If that is the case, don’t even think about leaving anymore, Deirdre. You can stay in the village to run a business, and I will also be able to take care of you.

“Ophelia is gone, and I don’t want you to go through hardship anymore. Otherwise, I will be too embarrassed to meet Ophelia in the afterlife when I’m gone,” exclaimed Madame Russell.

Tears welled up in Deirdre’s eyes because she knew Madame Russell sincerely cared for her.

She kept her head lowered.

Madame Russell held her hands tightly and said, “Be my daughter-in-law, Deirdre. I like you sincerely, and so does Tobey.”

Deirdre could not bring herself to reject Madame Russell, so she paused for a moment before saying. We’ll see what Tobey thinks about this.”

Madame Russell smiled joyously. “Sure, sure, sure! We’ll see what Tobey thinks about this. If he has feelings for you too, I won’t bear to let you leave us anymore”

‘Speak of the devil.”

Tobey’s call came immediately, claiming that he had already arrived at the village.

Madame Russell held Deirdre’s hand to meet him and could not refrain from complaining to Deirdre when she saw Tobey from afar, “That scoundrel will never put on a suit even when he visits during festivities. Look at him being so well-dressed now. He even got a haircut.”

Deirdre smiled in response, yet she felt deeply saddened in her heart.

She could not see because of Brendan.

Naturally, she did not think that Tobey had dressed up for her. Even if he did it for her, he would be backing out after seeing her by now.

“Here, Tobey!” Madame Russell waved her hand joyously upon seeing her son.

Tobey hastily walked forward after seeing Madame Russell with the luggage in his hand. His movements halted to a stop when he saw Deirdre standing next to Madame Russell.

“Deirdre?”

His voice was filled with astonishment, but Deirdre did not find his reaction surprising. She nodded and smiled gently. “It’s been a long time, Tobey.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Your face… What happened?” Tobey’s eyes were filled with pity. He could not believe that the exquisitely beautiful woman in the past would turn into this cloudy-eyed woman with a sad smile on her scarred face. “Nothing.” Deirdre did not wish to talk about it, so she explained briefly, “I had a minor accident at work, and my face got disfigured in the process. As for my blindness, it’s due to my own health issues. I’m already used to it.”

Tobey suddenly said, “It must be painful, huh?”

Deirdre was stunned. She could feel the man staring at her and his extremely gentle gaze. “If only I were with you back then, I wouldn’t have let you get so severely injured for sure.”

Deirdre’s mind went sluggish when she heard the remark and felt warm and fuzzy in her chest. Tobey sounded like he was deeply saddened by her state and eagerly wanted to be with her.

Deirdre was rendered speechless.

Madame Russell held Deirdre’s hand and said with a smile, “It has passed. Since it is the past, we shall not talk about it anymore. Let’s go home and celebrate Tobey’s return.”

“Hmm.” Deirdre nodded with a smile.

The three of them returned home.

Madame Russell went to the kitchen, preparing to cook up Tobey’s favorite meal.

Deirdre was eager to try something, so she rolled up her sleeves and said, “Can I have some flour and water, Madame Russell? It’s a rare occasion that Tobey is home. I would like to bake a cake.”

“Can you?”

Deirdre nodded. “It’s fine. I used to bake frequently for the children when I was working in a clinic previously.”
