Resent, Reject, Regret novel Chapter 368

“Don’t go, Deirdre.”

This was the first sentence Kyran typed after getting his phone.

Deirdre was dumbfounded for a moment. She did not know why he would say something like that.

“Go? I’ve always been here. I won’t leave your side.”

Kyran gazed deeply at Deirdre’s face, his eyes filled with despair. “I had a dream. In that dream, you chose to leave my side. You didn’t return to Alnwick but went to a place that I could not reach. I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried to, and I had to live in remorse for the rest of my life.”

He stretched out his hand and held Deirdre's finger. His palm was warm as always, but his hand trembled slightly.

Apparently, he was scared.

He was scared of Deirdre leaving him.

Deirdre blinked blankly and said, “Kyran, it was just a dream. Besides, you didn't do anything to me, so why would I go to a place where you cannot find me?”

Kyran’s chest was heaving up and down vigorously as he tightened his grip. It took him a long while before he finally calmed himself down and typed, “I’m just worried that I might disappoint you.”

“Why would you think like that?” Deirdre chuckled. Ever since she got to know him, he had never disappointed her before. “You’re overthinking. I've always felt proud to have you as a friend.”

As soon as Deirdre finished speaking, Kyran’s blood ran cold, and the light in his eyes dimmed down.

“Just… friend?”

Deirdre could sense his disappointment even though he was talking through a mechanical voice.

Kyran then typed again, “Do you hate me, Deirdre? Since I said I like you and am going to make you my girlfriend, I should tell you everything about me from my past. I should let you know what kind of person I am, but instead of doing that, I didn't tell you anything. Did that break your heart?”

Deirdre snapped herself back to reality and replied, “Of course not!”
