Lahat ng Kabanata ng Yearning for Her Return : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

"Why? Aren't the seats all the same?" Daniel didn't understand. When Rebecca last returned to the Brown residence for Jessica's birthday, she sat in the back and treated him like a driver. And yet, she was actively asking to sit in the front.Rebecca shot him an odd look. "Do you not know, Mr. Winston?"He frowned. "What should I know?" He would understand if all she wanted was for Jessica to leave. What Jessica did to Rebecca back at the Brown residence was over the line. It wasn't odd for her to have not gotten over her anger and demand for Jessica to leave. But he couldn't figure out why she insisted on being in the passenger seat.It was Caleb who explained, "The front passenger seat is the seat reserved for one's girlfriend or wife, Mr. Winston. You're saying Ms. Rebecca is your wife and yet you allow another woman to occupy the seat. It's a little …" he paused and stared at Daniel. "Or perhaps you've sidelined Ms. Rebecca and see Ms. Brown as your girlfriend. If that's the cas

Rebecca feigned ignorance. "What do you mean? I don't remember.""You asked me if I would …""So, would you?" she cut Daniel off before he could finish. She stood at the steps of the villa as she turned to look at him, keeping her eye level with him."Of course not." Daniel frowned. He didn't understand why she would ask such a question but offered an answer anyway. "Well, that's that, then. Why are you asking?" Rebecca shrugged and faced away from him to take off her stilettos. When her bare feet hit the floor, exhaustion seemed to overtake her.The exchange had Daniel frowning even more. By the time he regained his wits, she had already changed the subject. He wanted to ask her why she would ask a question like that, but she already sought her own answer. He followed after her. "I just don't understand what you've gone through to ask me a question like that. Life and death aren't trivial matters, Becca. Murder is against the law. I don't have the means to get away with it. And

Daniel stood there, unmoving. Rebecca urged him, "What are you waiting for? You said you'd agree to anything. Are you going back on your word? Don't tell me you can't do something as simple as bringing me away from this place.""Why?" Daniel asked, standing on the stairs with one hand in his pocket. "What do you mean, why?" Rebecca didn't understand his question. "Why don't you want to live here?" Daniel rephrased his question. He remembered that Rebecca and George had discussed marital home choice. George suggested the location, and Rebecca was the one who made the decision. But she didn't want to stay here now. Even if this home was for her and her only, she still disappeared that night, leaving nothing behind."I don't need to tell you a reason, do I?" Rebecca looked at him, puzzled. But judging by the expression on Daniel's face, it seemed that she did. Therefore, she had no choice but to give him an answer, "It's because I don't sleep well in an unfamiliar place. Besides

That was Ethan Somner. Even from a long distance, Daniel could still recognize the man Rebecca was hugging. After all, Ethan was an actor with the title of best male actor; he was a well-known star. Of course, Daniel knew him. Besides, this big star had trouble with Winston Jewelries two years ago. Originally, Ethan was supposed to endorse Winston Jewelries, but he requested to terminate his contract two years ago. He would rather pay liquidated damages than continue the endorsement. He was very stubborn. No matter how everyone tried to convince him otherwise, he still demanded to terminate the contract.Ethan had been in the industry for many years but kept it low-key. Except during the promotion of his work, he never showed up anywhere else. No one could even find information about his parents on the internet, and many of Ethan's loyal fans caused a lot of trouble when he terminated the endorsement, damaging Winston Group's reputation."I didn't expect Rebecca to know a big star

"N-No. Of course n—" Jessica was silenced before she could finish her words.The man held her neck, his grip tightening slowly. His smile grew wider when he saw her face becoming red from suffocation. She looked at the man in horror, frantically hitting his arm to free herself from his grasp. Unfortunately, the man didn't budge. He only let Jessica go when her struggles became weaker."Rebecca is just that capable of escaping from my grasp. Regardless of whether I succeed, you're in no position to tell me what to do. Do you think that men will do whatever you want just because you offer yourself to them?" said the man while giving a scornful glare to Jessica, who was gasping for breath. He wasn't an idiot like Daniel!"Why are you helping me, then?" Jessica asked. She was curled up on the bed, trembling non-stop. This man was fine before, and he always gave her what she wanted. Why was he mistreating her all of a sudden?"Maybe I'm doing so out of boredom." The man tilted his head,
