Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 91 - Bab 100

At a loss for words, Rebecca stood there with flour-covered hands. A long pause later, she stammered, "H-How can I get you to forgive me?"She appeared open and guileless in the face of Caleb's prolonged silence. Moments later, he suddenly broke into a smile with the mug in his hand. "I've forgiven you now."It came as a shock to her. Stunned, it took her a few seconds to collect herself. She was overjoyed but cautious at the same time. "Is that true? Caleb, are you not mad at me anymore?" Then, she prepared to throw herself at him. He didn't see the ambush coming, and his shoulders now had flour stains on them. Helpless in the face of his cheeky sister, he sat still as she wiped her fingers across his face.When she was done with her shenanigans, he said, "That's enough. Let this be a lesson for you. You'd better not worry us the next time." He punctuated his words like an old-fashioned teacher. He had flour all over him, including in his hair, but he remained dignified as usual. H

Karen's and Benjamin's faces darkened at her words. They had no intention of begging Rebecca, but her directness in her speech caught them off guard. The couple stood, frozen, unsure of how to respond. Unfortunately for them, not a single person in the crowd was willing to ease the situation. On the contrary, the spectators seemed content with being passive observers, relishing the drama and adding fuel to the fire."I remember on Ms. Jessica's birthday, Ms. Rebecca was very sincere in expressing her gratitude toward Mr. and Mrs. Brown for raising her even after they gave her the severance papers," someone said, "Besides, Ms. Jessica herself admitted to purposely bribing someone to humiliate Ms. Rebecca. If I were her, I'd take those papers and leave. Why should I even tolerate the Browns anymore?" "That's right! She could've been hurt! They treated her like trash, so what else are they expecting from her? Ms. Rebecca was kind enough to show them gratitude that day!" "Indeed. M

Reacting quickly to Daniel's words, Jessica took the chance to lean into his embrace, pretending to have tripped over. Seeing that, Rebecca raised her brow while the crowd's attention shifted toward them. The recent scandal involving Rebecca's alleged affair was still fresh in people's minds. Consequently, many were aware that Daniel had not divorced the woman his grandfather had arranged to marry. Although the marriage seemed to have ended, and everyone was aware of Daniel's intention to marry Jessica, there was still an undeniable shift in perception before the divorce was finally legalized. The crowd wasn't entirely accepting of Daniel's behavior in front of his wife, so it was natural that some would deem Jessica a mistress. Moreover, it was no secret that Jessica was the one who exposed Rebecca's scandal to the media. Wasn't she acting like a mistress by pursuing Daniel before the divorce was official?"Jessi, get up." Daniel's expression remained unchanged under everyone's ga

Daniel stepped back to put some distance between himself and Jessica. He looked down at her with an unfathomable gaze and said, "You always blame it on your illness. When Becca and I got married, you tried to commit suicide and blamed your illness for making you lose control; that's why I sent her abroad. When she returned to the country, you hired people to sully her, then blamed it on your illness again. You washed, rinsed, and repeated this with the surveillance footage, using your illness as an excuse while begging for forgiveness. Now, you're doing it again! Do you think your illness is a golden ticket to make everyone accommodate you and suffer silently when they shouldn't have been subject to such treatment?"Jessica was ashen when Daniel finished his sentence. She could let this go if anyone other than him were saying these things; why did it have to be Daniel? He had to be incredibly disappointed in her! Could she still marry him? Jessica's worry deepened, as did her hatred f

"Dan …" Jessica hurried after him. She couldn't care less about Rebecca calling the cops; she only regretted the dagger missing Rebecca and injuring Daniel instead. "Mr. and Mrs. Brown, you already know how you've failed to educate your daughter. Are you going to continue standing around and letting her do what she wants?" Daniel heard Jessica's footsteps stop abruptly. He shot Benjamin and Karen a cold look. Then, without bothering whether they'd understood him, he ran after Rebecca when he saw she was almost out of the villa.Jessica wanted to follow him when Karen grabbed her, looking furious. "Jessi, haven't you caused enough trouble tonight?" she snarled. Benjamin glared at her, hating her for being such a disappointment.He couldn't bring himself to look at his disgraceful wife and daughter any longer. He turned to the remaining guests and said ingratiatingly, "My apologies for the disturbance, esteemed guests. I failed to raise my daughter right and allowed her to embarrass
