Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 291 - Bab 300

Emily's heart was in turmoil, and her head throbbed in pain. She felt disoriented. It was as if all the years of her perseverance had become a joke.Thankfully, Henry was there to support her from behind, just as she had supported him earlier. She turned her head and felt the reassuring grip of Henry's hand. Suddenly, she felt a wave of warmth and strength surging in her.It helped her regain composure. She stood there calmly. "Mom, if you think Emi and I are outsiders, we'll move out."Henry supported his wife. His emotions were stabilizing, and he calmly addressed his mother. "As for splitting up, we can discuss it when Dad is discharged from the hospital. You can leave all the family assets to Mary. "All we hope for is that we receive the salary we deserve for all these years of hard work."Upon hearing this, Emily didn't make a scene. She held Henry’s hand in return.She didn't mind even if her in-laws gave all their money to Mary and left nothing for them.After al

"For Becca's good?"Henry couldn't help but find it amusing. "Mary, don't you feel ashamed saying that? When Zelda lost her kid, you showed no sympathy and even seemed to take pleasure in her misfortune. "Now that Becca has returned, you suddenly want to act concerned for her?" Emily chimed in, "That's right. Becca just came back. Zelda and her husband haven't even thought about her marriage. But you're in such a hurry to 'help' her? "You have thick skin. You've been kicked out of Johnson Residence a few times. Now our nephew even has to call Henry and ask us to keep an eye on you. We don't want to get involved in your affairs."Seeing Mary's pale face, Emily felt a sense of satisfaction. She had finally gotten the chance to release her years of pent-up frustration. She hadn't known that it could be so satisfying to speak her mind out loud!She wouldn't have kept everything in if she had known earlier. She had endured so much that she had turned herself into a doormat for

"That's wonderful to hear."Henry was happy that Rebecca liked the gift.After all, the Johnsons didn't lack anything. He was worried that Rebecca wouldn't like valuable items like these.Serena was the total opposite of Rebecca. But they always turned a blind eye to her behavior. Now, with a clear comparison, Henry thought that Rebecca was way better than Serena.She was beautiful, kind-hearted, and sweet.He wished Rebecca had returned home a couple of years earlier. If she had been in Rookfort all along, he wouldn't have cared much about Serena.It was always a pleasure to exchange genuine affection with someone who appreciated it. Emily was delighted, too.Like her husband, she had been worried that the gift might be seen as too modest for the Johnsons.The Johnsons had helped Gourmet Haven a lot during the past few years. It was worth it to give Rebecca such a valuable gift.Additionally, Rebecca had endured hardships during her years away from home. It was only fair

Claude didn't delay either. He shared the recording footage of the security camera at the front door with Zelda. It clearly showed the young man's face as he got out of the car. It was someone unfamiliar, indeed.The young man was wearing glasses. Zelda thought his face looked somewhat familiar, but it was probably not Daniel or Ryan. She was relieved. "Let him come in, then. I suppose he's Becca's friend. Be polite to him.""Alright," Claude answered.Hence, Maxwell was invited to enter Johnson Residence immediately after.Despite having taken over the Jenkins family for years, Maxwell was still amazed by how spectacular Johnson Residence was. Still, he thought it was something expected from the Johnsons. Even though the Jenkins in Amdale and the Winstons in Riverwood were considered on par with the Johnsons, there was still a significant difference between the families.Especially since the Johnson family's sons had been so united in recent years that their companies and p

Henry hadn't forgotten how he still had to occasionally withstand Markus' teases when his father had tormented him in his early years. It was a nightmare he could never forget. He couldn't understand why he would always be involved in the enmity between his father and Markus.Even after he had gotten married and had children, his culinary skills would still be lectured whenever Markus met his father.It was fortunate that both families seldom came across each other later on and that Henry no longer had to suffer.Henry thought he would never meet Markus again. Markus was a sharp-tongued man. Yet he was so genuinely skilled and capable at the same time that nobody was able to control him. He hadn't expected to run into Markus at Johnson Residence.He had been stunned when he had seen Markus earlier. He had thought he had mistaken someone else for him. He dared not approach him and greet him, as he was afraid that Markus would ask him if his culinary skills had improved or not.
