Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 461 - Bab 470

"No ..." The burly man stammered. He was startled by David's gaze.David responded with a low, satisfied hum. "Since there are no issues, I'll be on my way."The man mumbled an acknowledgment, seemingly still in shock, and began to leave in a daze. However, he suddenly remembered something, and he called out to David, who was about to close the door. "Oh, by the way! We won't refund the rent even if you move out!"David remained silent. Upon noticing David's silence, the man turned around. "The contract stated it clearly! You won't get a refund!"It was his wife who handled the rental. At first, he was annoyed with how low the rent was. But he was surprised that David was going to move out after only staying here for a couple of days. "Contract?" David narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly.The burly man paused before he said louder, "Yes! The contract! This house is under a yearly rental system! And you can't get a refund! Feel free to move out if you want, but getting a refun

A burden? If Rebecca was a burden, David wouldn't have gone through all the trouble to bring her out of the hospital. Of course, she wasn't a burden. David gazed into Rebecca's eyes and smiled gently. "Why would you think that? If you were a burden, why would I have you by my side?"His deep voice rang out, and the girl in his arms broke out in a brilliant smile. It was like the sudden appearance of sunshine after a rainy day that created a beautiful rainbow. She suddenly tiptoed and swiftly planted a light kiss on his cheek. It was very short, and she quickly moved away.However, she didn't get far before the man pulled her back into his embrace. Rebecca's cheeks turned red, and she stole a quick glance around. But Daniel's figure blocked her view, and she couldn't see anything.She struggled and softly complained, "Dr. Collins is still here. Don't ..."David held her slender waist and interrupted her. "He's not here. He's already in the kitchen washing dishes. Besides, even i

David's frosty tone made Rebecca's anger grow. She raised her eyes to scowl at him. Her tone was prickly as she said, "That's right. I don't want to see you! What about it? Can you get out of my sight now?"David had never been yelled at like this by a woman before. Although Rebecca had previously treated him much worse, she never showed him such a temper after her so-called memory loss. Rebecca was docile as a rabbit these days. She lowered her gaze, agreed with him, and timidly stood aside while calling him Dan. Rebecca had undoubtedly put on a convincing show if all that was an act. Yet, if she wasn't acting, did it mean her true, fiery temper was showing?David gazed down at Rebecca with an unreadable expression that made her uncomfortable. David studied Rebecca like she was a stranger even though Rebecca had convinced herself she liked him.Rebecca's chest tightened with irritation. It intensified after David remained silent and gave her a questioning stare for a long time.

Rebecca couldn't help giggling when she heard that. She wasn't about to ask if he had enough money to afford those things. Then again, she understood why he would ask that. After all, money was a necessity. Having enough on hand would save a lot of trouble.She glanced at the packed clothes and wondered whether Daniel had randomly bought those from a mall. Usually, he would never wear such things. They were short-sleeved polo shirts that mature, wealthy men wore. Rebecca would have thought Daniel had borrowed someone's clothes if he had donned such an outfit and held a metal flask bottle. The clothes just weren't his taste.Regardless, Rebecca's eyes shot to one side as her lips curved into a mischievous grin. "Daniel Winston!"David was silent. He had never found it scary when others called someone by their full name, but now? The hairs on his arms stood straighter, even though Rebecca wasn't calling his name. He peered at her cautiously before seeing her hold up one of the short

"You're not that guy. How can you guarantee—" Rebecca was doubtful. Yet, her words faltered when she accepted David's phone and read through its contents.Shock overwhelmed her senses because Daniel had dealt with the problem from the root. The email reply confirmed their rented home belonged to an elderly man named Mr. Zabel Senior. It turned out that Mr. Zabel Senior had already passed away. Still, he had a daughter who should've inherited the house instead of the burly man, who was also Mr. Zabel Senior's nephew.On top of that, the email also stated that the burly man had listed a living space for rent in town, too. However, it was a room partitioned by wooden boards. Things were stricter in town. Plus, tenants and landlords must sign a contract before renting a space. Even so, the burly man found sly ways not to refund the tenants' rental fees. All in all, he was a habitual offender of this crime.The bottom half of the email explained the issue with cutting off the rental
