Resent, Reject, Regret

Chapter 612 A Trap

Deirdre knew how expensive this bracelet was by touching it, so she figured she could not accept it. As if he could see through her worries, Brendan wrapped his arm around her waist and collected her hair behind her ear, saying, 'This is a gift from Mrs. King. You should just take it."

Deirdre had no other choice but to accept it. "Alright. Thank you very much, Mrs. King."

Mrs. King complimented Deirdre for her understanding and appearance as she guided them to the table. After all of them had taken their seats, Mr. King Sr. asked in a displeased voice, "Where is Declan?"

Mrs. King sighed and said, "He probably is staying in his room."

"Nonsense!" Mr. King Sr. smacked the table and continued. "Hurry up and get him down here! We have guests today. How could he hide in his room and not show his face?"

Cillian wrapped his arm around Laura and said, “Dad, you should just leave him alone. Declan prefers to stay alone. He might spoil the mood if he comes down to join us."

Laura's face was pale as she kept darting glances at Cillian. After a while, she nodded and said, "Declan said he's tired. He's not joining us as he said he wants to take some rest."

Mr. King Sr. harrumphed, indignant at Declan's action.
