Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 231 - Bab 240

Wendy looked up at Albert, meeting his gaze directly."I have someone I like," she repeated, her tone solemn.All the words Albert wanted to say disappeared when he heard this, and he became unable to say a thing. He kept silent, he put away his intentions to try and endear himself to her and regained an air of coldness.He became even colder than the breeze that blew in from the river."Really?" Albert finally squeezed out bitterly.Wendy's complexion was deathly pale as she said, "Yes!" Her teeth were gritted, and it had been very difficult to get the words out. Yet, she forced a smile. "Why would I lie to you? There's no need for such a thing in this situation, is there? Logically speaking, most women would want to date you, Mr. Johnson. If I didn't already have someone I like, why would I reject your confession?"Albert was the eldest son of the richest man in Riverwood and the heir to the MRC Group. Oh, wait. He was actually the person currently in charge of the MRC Group.

"You … H-he's your older brother?" Wendy was frozen in place as her brain stopped working. She didn't react for a long while.So … she had misunderstood Albert? Was Rebecca really just Albert's sister?Looking at Rebecca in her purple dress, Wendy was even more speechless. Seeing the way Wendy was reacting, Rebecca could guess what she was thinking. She couldn't help but smile. But she didn't go overboard and expose Wendy for her thoughts. She only spoke gently to pull Wendy back to earth."Wendy, you should go wash up first. Breakfast has been prepared downstairs. Once you're done, we can all have breakfast. Can we go shopping later? I just got back to Rookfort and Albert's always so busy. He said he gave you some time off, so you can go with me."Bringing Wendy home last night, Rebecca had gotten some information from Albert as they traveled. Although she still didn't understand why Wendy insisted on quitting, she was sure that her clueless brother couldn't see Wendy's feelin

Her face turned pale at once. The rosy hue that had graced her cheeks after a night's rest and a hot bowl of soup in the morning had vanished completely.She didn't want to answer Nelson's call.Taking a deep breath, Wendy gritted her teeth and decisively hung up."Wendy, what's wrong?" Rebecca, who was in the driver's seat, noticed Wendy's sudden change in demeanor. She couldn't help but voice her concern.Wendy shook her head and fastened her seatbelt. She tried to maintain a calm appearance. "It's nothing. Let's get going. It's not good to keep the little one waiting.""Alright."Rebecca didn't press further.Everyone had their hidden secrets, even she did. Wendy wasn't obligated to reveal anything, especially to someone she had only met briefly. They were practically strangers."Wendy, if there's anything on your mind, you can tell me. I might not be able to solve it myself, but I can talk to Albert. We'll find a solution together. Keeping problems bottled up inside o

Karen sounded like a criminal on trial. Her words struck Daniel's heart.It turned out that accidentally discovering he was deceived wasn't as devastating as hearing the person who deceived him admit their mistakes.It was so absurd.Looking back, he felt like his life was a joke.He had been nothing more than Rachel’s puppet since he was born until he had the ability to resist. She made him do whatever she wanted, and her word was law.Then, he became a fool manipulated by a woman.Not wanting to hear another word from Karen, Daniel hung up the phone."Ryan."After a moment of silence, Daniel finally spoke again."Do you think Rebecca will forgive me?"He had been so terrible to her. He ignored her and left her alone abroad for three years.Besides, his grandfather treated her with indifference during his rebellious years.No wonder she didn't want anything to do with him and had been planning to divorce him for a long time.Ryan looked at his friend and pursed his lips

"No, Wendy and Oliver get along very well. She hasn't mentioned anything else."Rebecca turned to look at them and silenced her suspicions."Besides, why would she ask about Ollie when she hasn't even agreed to marry you yet? I was just curious. Assuming you succeed in pursuing her, what will you do if Ollie's biological mother shows up? It's just a casual question."Albert chuckled. "What's there to worry about? That woman gave birth to Ollie but didn't raise him. Do you think I'll hand Ollie over to her if she shows up? Don't overthink it."In fact, Rebecca wanted to ask, "What if Wendy is Oliver's biological mother?"But she decided to keep that thought to herself. Her speculations might not be accurate.Voicing them could only lead to mutual suspicion between Albert and Wendy. It wouldn't be helpful.She decided to keep all her confusion to herself. With a forced smile, she said, "Alright, Albert. You can continue working. I'll go pick fruits with Ollie and the rest. I h
