Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 341 - Bab 350

"I ..."Rebecca gazed at him. She didn't know how to respond. She had considered giving things a try with Maxwell, but she felt that something was missing in the past few days. So, she didn't know how to reply just yet.Seeing her hesitation, Maxwell smiled warmly. "Becca, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. Can we continue being friends for now?"Rebecca couldn't refuse this tentative request. She also hoped to become friends with Maxwell. She felt that she could learn something from him during their time together.He was somewhat similar to Albert. He also taught her how to avoid making mistakes, but they weren't exactly the same.After hanging out with him for the past few days, Rebecca didn't mind getting closer to Maxwell.Sometimes, they would chat about trivial matters, such as her studio. Surprisingly, she had gained some insight from him.He was always polite and considerate. He never made her feel uncomfortable. Rebecca sometimes wondered why she des

Jessica ... died?Rebecca was in shock for a while.She hadn't paid much attention to news about Jessica after reading about her accident the last time. To her, everything that happened in Riverwood was a fleeting dream.But she couldn't simply ignore the experiences she had and the people she met.This news stirred up emotions within her.She turned to Daniel.Sensing her gaze, Daniel, who was still eating, raised his eyes to look at her. There was a hint of foolishness in his dark eyes. Rebecca hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but speak, "She ... Are you okay?"Daniel only glanced briefly at the TV in the room. He then continued eating as if the dishes on the table were more important than the news being broadcast.Rebecca suddenly felt she might have overstepped.Daniel and Jessica's issues were none of her business.He used to care for her deeply. Yet, he seemed unfazed now.Whether it was because of what happened at the wedding or for other reasons, it had n

"What ... do you plan to do now?"The news on the screen had already switched to other segments. Despite the professional broadcasting tone coming from the TV, the ward still felt somewhat desolate. Unable to restrain herself, Rebecca tentatively questioned him.Daniel's gaze remained calm. She couldn't read his emotions.Furthermore, his face was partially covered in bandages, and that made it even harder to discern his expression. He lowered his gaze slightly before looking at Rebecca."Becca, Ryan told me you had some bad experiences while abroad. Back in Springford, you also asked me if I wished for you to ... disappear. Will you still believe me if I say no now?"He didn't answer Rebecca's question directly. Instead, he chose to clarify something about his past actions. As for what would happen from now on, he wasn't ready to think about it yet. He wanted to talk things out with Rebecca. He didn't want her to dwell on it.Little did he know that Rebecca had already t

Like Rebecca, Ryan was too stunned to speak after hearing the unexpected information Daniel told him. He couldn't believe that Daniel's own brother would do something like this to him.Even Maxwell, whom Ryan disliked the most, was only more ruthless to the illegitimate child of the Jenkins. He didn't take any action either when he learned that Ryan was secretly taking away the Jenkins' business. He just let Ryan and Daniel take the projects away.Maxwell acted like they were only playing house instead of seriously fighting for projects worth up to billions. Ryan was surprised that the Winstons were fighting like they were battling for the throne. He could not fathom it.Even when Daniel finished telling him everything he knew, he was still at a loss for words. He was also curious why Daniel's brother wasn't raised in the family. Yet, Daniel wasn't able to give him an answer.Daniel could only tell him he wasn't sure of his brother's intentions either. He didn't even know much ab

After all, James had to face the reality that the Stiggs had split family assets. Besides, he had stayed at the hospital for many days. He didn't only get bored but was also worried that he would keep troubling Rebecca. He thought that it was time for him to go home, which was why he decided to agree to Angela's suggestion.His belongings were already packed. He was waiting for Henry to pick him up after finishing his work.Rebecca went downstairs. She originally proposed to drive James home, but he declined her favor, as he thought it was already very shameless of him to accept the meals Rebecca sent him every day during this period. He wouldn't let Rebecca drive him back.Moreover, he didn't want to ruin Rebecca's first visit to the Stigg residence like that. He thought her first visit should be more formal.James insisted on having Henry pick him up no matter what.He wanted to discuss the matter of the family splitting assets when Rebecca visited the Stigg residence, too. He
